Oh hey look, Destiny is still Downloading... Time to update with this week's Posts...
Obviously We got three new characters Robin, Lucina, and Captain Falcon!
Tuesday was about Lucina.
Lucina was originally designed to be an alternate skin for Marth with her own voice overs. She also took her father's spot on the roster. Chrom was literally intended to be in the game, but the series creator felt that he would be too lame.
Unlike other Alternative Skins, Lucina is her own character. She is slightly Shorter and Faster than Marth! She also has power throught her entire sword, rather than how Marth's Power was focused on the tip of his blade. I am predicting that Lucina will be focused more on Aggressive Rush Down play. While Marth will be more defensive and require more precision to use. Lucina also seems Noob Friendly.
Speaking of easter eggs, it was confirmed that one of Lucina's Taunts involves putting on and removing her mask! It was also stated that she can start the fight with her mask on!
Wednesday was all about Robin!
It was confirmed that Robin's Smash Attacks will summon the Levin Sword, and Xe's special attacks involve changing tomes! Both also have limited use and will take time to regenerate. When the Levin Sword and Tomes are broken, Robin will become hella vulnerable!
The Levin Sword can be activated using smash attacks. Robin can even do smash attacks in the air! When the Levin Sword breaks, Robin will be forced to use a plain ol' Bronze Sword. The Bronze Sword looks fairly weak and unreliable.
Robin's Specials are their Tomes!
Neutral Special is a thunder Tome and can be charged simular to Samus's Cannon or DK's Punch!
Forward Special is the Fire Tome and unleashes a fireball that launches diagonally and explodes upon impacting an item, a character, or the ground. It will then create a Fire Pillar simular to Ness's.
Down Special is Nosferatu. It siphon's Life from the enemy using dark magic. The damage performed on the enemy increases when performed from behind!
Up Special is Wind Magick! Robin throws wind blades in a downward direction propelling xemself thoughout the air. They can throw up to two wind blades at a time. This move doubles up as both a great attack and recovery! Sakurai pointed out that if the tomes are broken, Robin will essentially be shit out of luck when it comes to recovery...
Last detail I noticed (though unconfirmed) regarding tomes is that Robin's Neutral A-A-A attack will change depending on Tome! When xe has a fire tome, their third attack will be a launching explosion! When their tome is wind, they will perform a rapid hit attack, simular to Fox or Greninja!
Thursday wasn't anything new or special...
It was confirmation of the Nintendogs Stage, the Living Room, Will also involve Cats.
Last Bit of Info out this week. Coro Coro magazine, Aka the people we get our Pokemon News from, claims to be revealing the "Entire" Roster, as well as selectable 3DS Stages, in their next issue. The next Issue also comes out in less than a month! Before you get overly excited, I wanna kill your hype a bit. Coro Coro apparently pulled a simular stunt with the release of brawl. And when they did, they didn't show us anything new. Let's just wait and see what happens...
