• Created a Statedef of MoveType = A.
• Created a HitDef with a hit attribute of a Throw, a p1stateno parameter that puts Fiona into a state to drop the chandelier on the opponent (effects), and a p2stateno parameter to put the opponent into a custom hit state to react to the chandelier dropping with a SelfState state controller at the end to leave that state into a falling state presumably.

[State 0, NotHitBy]
type = NotHitBy
trigger1 = 1
value = SCA,AP,AT

That means the helper is not affected by projectiles and throws. But he can still be hit by attacks

Change the value to SCA only.

I wonder if there's a better way to include boss/hidden characters. Can something be done about that?

• Cadicle (Helped me with my first character)
• XGargoyle
• Samanosuke of the Saito Clan
• ShinRyoga
• Kazmer13
• N64Mario
• Kung Fu Man

• The Fighters playlist on the Japanese Smash Bros YouTube channel was updated 2 days ago:

As expected, nothing new or interesting from this Direct.

Some highlights (No particular order):
- Pokemon Ultra Sun + Ultra Moon
- Kirby Battle Royale
- Kirby Star Allies
- Mario & Luigi remake on 3DS
- Mario Party Top 100
- XenoBlade Chronicles 2
- Arcade Archives for Nintendo Switch
- Info on Metroid Samus Returns for 3DS
- Orange+White 2DS system
- Super Mario Oddessy + Wedding Amiibo

You can do it as a helper or an explod, Explod is possibly slightly easier.

You can also hit the "Start" button without ending the intro.

• The character will only work with Mugen 1.1.
• The character will only work with the included stage.
• The character must be in the P2 slot in Single Team mode.
• 1 Player only.
• The game resolution must be 640x480, 1280x720, or 1920x1080.

• Any character may be used, but not all characters are guaranteed to be compatible.
• Even though this bonus stage attempts to automatically turn a character around when Back is held, characters that would normally block while holding Back may be stuck blocking and will not turn around if near certain enemies.
• Moves which utilize the Back button may not work, because characters will automatically turn around when Back is held.
• Taller characters may have a more difficult time progressing through this bonus stage as the number of enemies on screen at the same time will increase as the stage goes on.

[State X, CenterBindX]
type = PosAdd
trigger1 = <Whatever Trigger>
X = -ScreenPos X+floor(GameWidth*0.5)

Marketing

• "Interact with your game on the go." phrase seen on a poster.
• Strong co-branding effort with a Mario launch title on many posters.
• Console is currently set to launch with least 4 titles on deck.
• Stores should be receiving demo units around February.
• Base price point seems to be sitting at $299.99

Bundle

• The NX is currently set to have a bundle option.
• The contents of this bundle is currently unknown.
• Bundle price is currently sitting at $399.99

Packaging

• The packaging for the NX will be slightly larger than the Wii U's packaging.
• The packaging is relatively clean and simple and is similar to the Wii U in terms of package design.
• The color scheme for the packaging is white and blue (compared to the Wii U's blue and black).
• The packaging still says "NX" however there is still no indication if this is a placeholder or the final name.
• The areas of the packaging that would usually depict the hardware were blurred and redacted by Nintendo in attempt to keep it hidden.

Features and Specs

• Games will be on cartridges
• 4k streaming has been mentioned. - What this likely means is playback of content such as Netflix, etc. Not gameplay.
• 1080p and 60fps are being used by the marketing teams in relation to gameplay on to the console portion. I've heard unconfirmed rumblings of 900p for the infamous hybrid part of the device.
