Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS
Newcomer to Super Smash Bros. Lady Palutena was revealed at E3, and today we receive some insight into her huge attack range.
Referencing the screen you see above, director Masuhiro Sakurai wrote on the Miiverse, "I talked about an attack with a far reach in yesterday's post, but it didn't compare to Palutena's up smash attack! No joke, it reaches really far. It reached so far in this shot that even the rocketbarrels got blown up." He followed up with another screenshot, seen below, writing, "That said, if we're talking just about range, even that can't beat Palutena's power, Heavenly Light. It has quite a damage field. However, this is a no-flinch attack, which means the opponents won't react to the damage!"
