Charr Farmer confirmed?

The only thing that bothers me about Little Mac's appearance is that his left arm is disproportionately bigger than his right arm for some reason. And yeah, I dunno what's up with Shulk's face, but his 3D model looks kinda rough when zoomed in, and he looks absolutely terrible as anything other...

All of you are wrong. Gaomon is the best. Huh? Whaddaya mean I'm biased?

Yeah without this community, my reactions to everyone but Piranha Plant, Byleth, Pyra/Mythra, and Min Min would have been "...who?" and had very little hype. And yes that includes Sephiroth because my gaming experience is very Nintendocentric.

"3rd parties don't usually get this treatment." "You're wrong because of these first parties." "I was talking about 3rd parties though." "Doesn't matter." :snakefire:

No one was arguing that. It's just that being an Assist Trophy or Mii Costume is just evidence that they're being considered. It's not evidence that they'll ever be picked. Granted, a some of them probably will one day, but a lot of them seem to be squarely in the eternal understudy zone.

If they go that route, I'd prefer it have that cartoony blend like Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 (minus the booster course tracks), or Pokémon Scarlet/Violet's character models (but only the characters; the environments in that game just use flat textures, it's weird). EDIT: We're gonna...

To be fair, I think Isaac and Shovel Knight are probably the only two of the "got a little extra due to popularity" crowd that aren't all that likely. I think it was "who else, but Lloyd", although we are at a point where that opinion could easily have changed by now.

Yeah the problem with this logic is that most characters in this position are there because they're not gonna add them, but want to at least acknowledge their popularity. A lot of the more recent ones have a lot of merit to get in (Dante, Doom Slayer, etc.), but for the rest, they're probably...

You answered your own question. Super Smash Bros. Brawl follows the "hyper-realism" trend by adding a ton of detail and turning the saturation way down. SSB4 does a 180, turning the saturation way up and removing detail from characters that don't need it. Even SSBU tries something different...

Ah crap. I was trying to get good comparable photos that didn't have something like that, but the pictures from the official site wouldn't load on here for me so I had slim pickings. Even with the blunder I suppose that answers my question: It is too difficult to tell since if you look at them...

Would it be that difficult?

It's also a direct sequel in a series that doesn't normally have them, and only the second game with that exact artstyle. Super Smash Bros. consists entirely of direct sequels, and its art style changes in every game, but it's current look is extremely similar to the previous game. I don't think...

As much as the roster was and always will be the most exciting part or any fighting game, all that's changed is that Super Smash Bros. can't sell itself on just the roster. It's gotta have new ideas be it single player, new core mechanics, or...well even good online would go a long way. It's...

Not to say that the content doesn't matter, but Mario Kart tends to have either the console itself as the novelty, or a big gimmick to attract players. Mario Kart 9 probably wont have any issues selling itself.
