Super Smash Bros 4 Characters: The Villager's Lloid Rocket and Turnip Attacks Featured in 'Pic of the Day' (PHOTOS)
Super Smash Bros 4 latest 'Pic of the Day' reveals an attack by one of the newest characters in the game, The Villager.
The Villager from Animal Crossing has not been in any of the other installments of the franchise so his move sets, and attacks are unknown up to this point, until now.
"The Villager's special attack, the Lloid Rocket, is a projectile weapon like no other--you can either launch it or ride on it. When you fire it off, keep pressing the button to hop aboard--you can even control its speed. It's more powerful when you're riding it," said game director Masahiro Sakurai in the Miiverse Pic of the Day. See the image of the villager here.

Earlier this week, Sakurai revealed another move by the Villager, the turnip attack. "Turnips are used in the Villager's up-air and down-air attacks. Perhaps because the turnip prices fluctuate depending on the day's market, the number of turnips that appear changes every time," Sakurai posted. See the image here.
