1/17 Final Smash: Pikmin & Olimar*

[BewareOfUmbrella]

<End of Day>

Captain Olimar always makes sure to return to his spaceship before nightfall when he’s out exploring new planets. Why is that?

That’s because nighttime on these planets is absolutely teeming with scaaary wild beasts! To avoid an encounter with those creatures, Olimar takes to the safety of space during the night.

So how could we represent this idea in Brawl...?

First things first. Get that Smash Ball!



There’s Olimar’s ship!

Blast off! The ship soars higher and higher into the stratosphere.

Stars fill the sky above.

Wild beasts everywhere! Aaaah!

Characters left behind on the ground take lots and lots of damage.

But dishing out damage alone won’t score you points. The more people in the brawl, the more damage you can expect this attack to do, but beware—another opponent may steal the KO you’ve worked so hard to set up.

In a one-on-one match, this Final Smash won’t deal as much damage, but hey, there’s no worry that someone else will steal your KO, either.

I guess you could call this balancing the gameplay, huh?

The ship comes crashing back to the battlefield with a huge explosion! Maybe, if you’re lucky, you’ll catch someone in the blast?

Pretty sweet heh, i had a feeling this update would be coming soon. So when this FS happens are the other fighters unable to be controlled while they get mauled by the local wildlife?

You put the wrong date its 1/16

Cool FS but hard to tell much about it from these pics

No they can move and kill each other while its going on. Thats why it does more dmg with more people playing

No, it's the 17th.  Depends on your timezone, but the Dojo has it labeled as January 17th.
EDIT: Oh.  I see.  Typo on the 2.

Oh  yea your right, i was just looking at the month number

[Paper_Sonic]

hey look at the last screenshot... are olimar's eyes actually open?

[Shades]

I think I need to see how this works because I am having a hard time just picturing it in my head...

[Fallen401]

The screenshots seem pretty straight forward and i think that is how the actual gameplay view will look like. It seems like a majority of the screen is pushed up towards to the sky and an ensuing attack of wildlife comes at the opponents.

No they can move and kill each other while its going on. Thats why it does more dmg with more people playing

Are you sure? I was under the impression that the FS itself will do more damage to the fighters depending on how many are taking part in the combat. The wording seems like it pushed it towards that, "The more people in the brawl, the more damage you can expect this attack to do." It says this attack can be expected to do more damage and not really "this attack will do more damage becasue your opponents continue to attack each other."

The logic behind it is maybe more fighters attract more enemies? I could be way off though.

Aww, I wanted Zelda and Sheik's FS. Oh well, we were right about this one. I hope you can avoid the beasties somehow. And yeah, it's 17th except for those follow est.

Alot of people knew this was coming. I like it 9.5/10

good point...in consideration I give it...9.5/10 (4.75/5)

[dcmjlive]

I give it an 8.5. I don't know why...I just don't seem to like it that much.

Yeah its kinda the same as Pit's and Dedede's final smash. Sakurai does these swarm FS alot.

[dcmjlive]

Yeah, I guess that's why I don't like it that much. The idea is overused.
