What's a splat pose?

Y'know how characters launched off the top of the screen sometimes hit the camera? Now, they also splat against it before sliding off.

I sure said that!

Smash Wiki calls them Screen KOs.

Hehe, in the first game they just fell in front of the screen.

People often complained that screen KOs take less time than Star KOs. Do they now take the same amount of time?

That's an interesting question, since if so that would mean it removed a relatively subtle random element.

It's rare, but I have had times when the winner of a match was decided because one person was a star KO and the other was a screen KO.

Apparently there is one thing different about it: getting K Oed at percentages lower than 100 will cause the regular break that happens anywhere else in the stage, while over 100 causes a star or screen KO. And it might be the same amount of time, considering the "splat" causes a bit more time than the hit.

Apparently, Ganondorf happens to be Miyamoto's main.

I highly doubt he'd get the boot.

He gets all the memes, seemingly.

I'm not even sure WHAT that pose is supposed to imply.

That Luigi's such a Butt-Monkey that he couldn't have a "regular"-looking screen KO animation. Smash!Luigi tends be very strange compared to his Mario-verse depictions, to be fair.

He's still pretty weird, yo.

Especially in the Mario & Luigi games. Prince Peasly~

You gotta give it to Luigi. Mario's the main, but Luigi is the scene-stealer.

SSB Luigi isn't really that much weirder than Main series Luigi. SSB just tends to play up the low self-esteem he has(from the 2nd banana or shadow of his brother)more than they do his cowardice. In his animations seem to be trying very hard to be different from Mario...if they aren't just purely wimpy.

So I'm sure someone has commented on it in the last 100+pages I've missed, but I wonder what the custom movesets will mean for Mega Man. There's a lot to mine from there.

Also on the subject of custom moves, I wonder what could be done, either in this game, or if he's not in it a future game, with Ray!!!

I hope that there's more interesting Up+B variations for Sonic, Mega Man and Pac-Man. They have the exact same move...

No, Pac Man's doesn't fall, and can only be used 3 times before breaking apart.

Eh. I love Luigi and all, but I still find Smash!Green 'Stache to be stranger than his regular series' version. Which is probably due to some of those weird animations he has (and Negative Zone).

His side taunt is definitely a weird one.

I'm not convinced it's not a reference to the photo spots from Superstar Saga.

EDIT: No, wait, that's his up taunt. His side taunt is the "Pow-Pow" Bow.

And yeah, it's weird. Weird enough to be his character art in for.

He's become so much of a clone that he has his own version of Link's Navi taunt. tongue

But seriously, it's cute. And I'm digging Link's SS duds in today's daily.

Heh, that SS civi color kinda looks like Fierce Deity Link if you squint hard enough.

I kinda liked TL's old side taunt. It was not very exciting, but it was sorta subtle.

Up taunt is the best, though. Love the Wind Waker.
