Majora's Mask for 3DS - Info and Version Differences

[Powerstar9]

i looked at Jwittz's 3ds changes and a 1 hour stream (it's on YouTube, I think), and it seems that Goron's punches come out much faster than before. No one has combo'd with them in those vids, but I think the combo might be a bit faster as well. It's a good change imo since I hate getting hit out of a Goron punch.

Due to getting the Song of Soaring earlier, we're able to skip the monkey's plea for help via soaring from the Woods of Mystery. It will not be a problem for casuals to miss it in this way, due to the slight relocation of the owl statue being closer to the region exit entrance where the monkeys will drop down (they do that in the original). I don't know if they will block our way to tourist place this time or not.

Some guy uploaded a gainer vid to youtube.

Tell him to unlist the vid damn it lol

Why do that? The game is already completed and reviewers have it downloaded, they can't make changes anymore. (and even if they would, we could just buy one of those reviewers consoles Kappa)

Gaby went to gamestop and played the demo. He's going back again today but yesterday he confirmed these things:

Recoil flip
FESS
TSC
Jumpslash cancel
Quick Odolwa stun
ISG with sword in a grotto

And before you ask or yell or whatever, he wasn't being watched because the gamestop was pretty much empty and the game was out unattended.

This is the Goron combo I was talking about: http://youtu.be/yWA0RN8i_Rc (go to 22:10)
See how it's significantly faster. We should keep a changelist/things that stayed list somewhere when the game comes out. Any1 confirm Damage ISG?

[benstephens1000]

More things tested:

- Bow clip works
- Cannot backwalk past ECT guard
- FESS is very fast
- Sword recoil works
- Recoil from enemies makes you go really far
- Recoil from bombs is patched
- Goron damage boost is patched (keep x/z position when hit)
- Restricted items is patched
- Ledge clips works
- Laundry pool early works with Zora sidehop works
- Damage ISG is patched
- Long jumps work
- ESS bottle dupe works
- Pause buffering with bomber's notebook (start)
- First person through wall is fixed
- Gaby tried megaflip but couldn't get it, still a possibility though
- Beans can be bought from CT shop (after you already get them from bean dude we think)
- Quickdraw is patched

Keep in mind that the demo could still be different from the final game, however, at this point we would expect them to be almost identical

Looking forward to bottle adventure, albeit limited.

Time to revisit those Ikana strats...

[scamperface]

pretty sure this doesn't prove anything, but it does not look like deku gainer wont be possible but this might be a possible moons tear skip

[benstephens1000]

This strat has been known and both it and gainer worked in the demo to skip the moon tear.

[scamperface]

alright.

I'll just put in what is known about the mask transformations so far:
Deku Link
+Bubbles don't pop when held too long
+Bubbles charge faster
+Bubbles are more accurate
-Top Spin no longer has instant speed

Zora Link
+Taking damage while walking underwater has vastly reduced knockback. It's more like a flinch (http://youtu.be/clc__TJYAug?t=2m22s)
-Swimming is easier to control, but you move really slow. Going as fast as in the original game consumes magic

Goron Link
+Punch Combo is faster
+Punch Combo is more accurate
-Goron Boost is patched

There's a new function with transformation masks in MM3D where if you do any kind of jump (jumping off something, backflip, sidehop, etc)
when you press a mask button he will put on the mask instantly after he lands on ground (http://youtu.be/USuibSveq-A)
When you do this and press R to shield (while targeting) before hitting the ground Link will "store(?)" the transformation until you let go of R and even you can talk to NPCs and he will transform after talking to them.

Now like in OoT3D, when you have an item in hand and you press R while targeting you put away the item (they fixed it now where some items like the deku stick, he will shield with the stick) so you can't do some glitches like timestop for example or the glitchy weird Z targeting with bow on use. So then after some playing around again I found out you can combine both of these and make this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRtLhWoEcWY
So you can get the glitchy bow camera, bottle in hand, (another items in hand i believe)

There are several other things i tried out like zora ledge grabbing, which they fixed you cannot longer grab a ledge after transforming into zora while in water http://youtu.be/oPBTGOhBwyk
Ice that blocks the path to Mountain Village doesn't freeze you anymore, they act like a normal boulder when you slash them and I also passed the gate that goes to Great Bay, but the demo doesn't have the area so I crashed lol (works with zora only though :\ http://youtu.be/26JSMmME-MY)
And as for all things listed by Ben before there are videos but not gonna post them unless people wanna see them.
