If you gotten the code and played the game for a while then what are your impressions for the game including character, items, and stages?
Here's my video playthrough wtih Link recorded by my iPhon 5. Hope it looks alright cause the game looks great for 3DS
I'll list some stuff I could notice and that I didn't see in the recent Japanese Twitch streams:
Mario:
Was able to wall jump from the floating platforms in battlefied
EDIT: Saw ZeRo from Smash Invitation do this and confirms it works. Strong attack A can be spammed repeatedly against enemies because of its weak knockback and fast timing. And its REALLY easy to do. Can do it for 4 times in a row and builds a nice damage but I forgot how much.
Link:
dash attacks makes Link jump forward and attacks. This means you can fall of the stage if you time it wrong
Air attack Up is the Link leaning back and stabbing up in the air. So same as the E3 build if you've been paying attention to this game's development.
Up + B animation sounds cooler/different
Pikachu:
Up + B can still daze enemies. In fact you can spam against enemies if you go left and right when you and they are on the ground to accumulate damage. Was able to hit two cpus over and over again. But I was playing against the default CPU level in the demo. Pikachu's animation when he hits opponents has him turning into a yellow blur to show how fast he's moving.
Down + B or thunder goes down too fast to hurt enemies. This makes it hard to guard the edge a player is trying to reach. If you played against a Pikachu player (or CPU lvl 9) in Brawl who did this to edge guard than you know what I mean by this (hopefully). (Or maybe it wasn't always like this?)
Final Smash is still volt tackle. I don't know if it was like that in E3 build
Megaman:
The dog from up + B does not stay there forever if left on stage. In fact he disappears in a few seconds.
His Smash attacks are pretty quick on ground and air. I don't know much about the Megaman games so I can't explain any further.
His down taunt is his intro animation.
His a attack is the normal weapon he uses in Megaman 2 and you can run and use it like a gun item in brawl. In fact, you can only hit 3 or 4 at time rapidly before he cools down like the game as well. It also blocked my Pikachu's fully charge side B....
Villager:
His bowling ball attack is smash left/right A. Super powerful. EDIT: One hit on smash ball activates final smash
Aerial attacks are slingshots but you probably knew that from the streams.
Down + B is tree move. He starts with planting a sprout. Then watering it. And then he chops it. And then again. Tree falling didn't seem as powerful as smash left/right A but looked quicker. You can only plant one sprout at a time. If you use down + B again while away from the sprout, you'll just pull out your watering can and water nothing. Your sprout will disappear after several seconds, so you need to strategically place them. Was going for the edge but took to long to water it again so it disappeared.
Edit: After tree is grown, you can hit enemies with you axe. F** YES. its pretty slow
EDIT: Megaman's final smash won't be completed if the Time Runs out in Time versus. THIS HAPPEND TO ME > : (
items:
The special flag that gives you 1 stock or +1 in the defaul time battle takes several seconds before its effect works. And you're a sitting duck when you use it. If someone hits you, you drop the item and they can use it.
Steel driver guns is way more powerful than the ray gun and can KO people in orange percentages (or at least Mario and Villager).
Pokemon Kyreum shoots out a decently long fan attack from his left and right wing. Takes up a 1/4-third of battle field stage and the height is taller at the end reaching up to the battlefied platforms. However, its easy to dodge because he just sits there when he attacks. Couldn't hurt anyone when I first used him too
Assist trophy Pong seems to end after one player scores 2 points in my playthrough. Causes an annoying amount of knock back but not sure about percentage.
Edit: Tanooki item (brown leaf) can make you hover in the air for several seconds! But I can't make it work until after I do my second midair attack. And you don't float gently down like the Super Mario games.
3D look amazing on my normal size 3DS.
So what are your thoughts?
