I'm dying in anticipation: what are the changes!?

[The_NZA]

I haven't downloaded it and I don't have my Wii right now (lend it to a friend).

What are the changes!?

 

[QQQQQQQ7777777]

These are not all of them but: 1. Metaknight 2. Sonic Nerf 3. G&W has a new feature to his Side-B (don`t want to spoil it) 4. Link`s Boomerang has a buff added to it 5. Ballad of the Goddess was removed for copyright reasons 6. Squirtle has had his Side B, Up B combo changed to Side B, A 7. Stage tweaks 8. Lucas has his Brawl aerials back

Also: No Turbo Mode (3.0), No new characters (Except for Metaknight), No major changes really so don`t expect much

 

[The_NZA]

I was asking about Ness!

 

[QQQQQQQ7777777]

Sorry in that case not much has changed about him as far as I can tell. the PMBR hasn`t released much info on him. but the changelist is coming in a few days so that might help

PkFlash travels farther. You have a few extra frames out of your second jump to DJC. Can now jump out of absorb lag.

that's all I know. meh

 

[GMaster171]

Spiffy, can you please confirm (if you have it with you lol) the jump out of lag? I cant do it anymore, even from the ground (fox's grounded laser renders Ness completely stuck, cant roll, jump or spotdodge...

 

[Bryonato]

oh wait they may have taken that out? i'll check that in a sec

EDIT: WOW what the ****? they got rid of it. that is super lame

That's straight up lame. Ness does NOT need nerfs.

 

[Bryonato]

It's not a nerf. He couldn't do it in 2.5b either. However it earlier 2.6 builds I saw footage where he COULD do that so they purposefully removed it for some reason

 

[The_NZA]

I thought gmaster was saying you couldn't roll out of absorb form the ground/jump out of absorb from the ground anymore (which you could do in 2.5)

 

[GMaster171]

thats what I was saying, they removed the ground cancels as well, making its intended function as bad as the shines... Only use magnet defensively agains big attacks they cant follow up behind (I cant even really thing of any... Even Lucario can run in behind his aura sphere...)

 

[The_NZA]

Anyone from the backroom want to comment on this?

 

[Bryonato]

Yeah for real. Why was this necessary?

 

[The_NZA]

Can Lucas still do a grounded roll out of absorb?

 

[GMaster171]

I didn't get to test it myself, but I got someone to test it, and according to him Lucas is unable to do anything out of the lag either...

 

[Bryonato]

Lol. That's pretty dumb.

 

[Revven]

Yeah for real. Why was this necessary?

Nothing is ever sacred in preview streams. That's about all I can say on this matter.

 

[Bryonato]

Well yeah that is a given
