Another stupid thing about this that people on other boards are pointing out: Outlines becoming hard to see against similarly-colored backgrounds, especially the Blue Team outline against a blue sky.

the giant ass blue tag over your head

 

[ShockingAlberto]

My competitive team games which I have all the time every day are going to FALL APART now.

Sakurai, fix this shit

 

[SenorArdilla]

I notice you added url tags to the original post here. You know clicking on that little grey arrow next to the name will take you to the original post meaning url tags are not needed?

Yup. I just wanted it blue.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

That's what the name tags and arrows above each character are for. They look pretty big and obtrusive in the POTD, so I doubt that'll be a big problem.

Yeah but what if I close my 3DS while playing? How will I know who I am? How will I control myself? Will I vanish from this world forever?...

Complaining will always be a part of every game on earth :-D

 

[Het_Nkik]

What if someone knocks the controller out of your hand and then pours milk on your head

Who will patch that

What if, while playing, somebody spills Dr. Pepper on your crotch so it looks like you peed yourself and then they all call you Dr. PeePee and then you become a professional Smash player but the nickname sticks and you're on a livestream in front of tens of thousands of people and everyone is calling you Dr. PeePee.

Reading/color recognition is hard though.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I just realised a big problem with this update,

what if I don't remember who out of only 4 characters is my teammate?!

What if I don't remember who is my character!?

 

[Dagobert Duck]

But what if my friends lie to me?!

Oh boy...I don't know :-( I need a hug now...

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Don't worry, all you have to do is remember what color you are!(outline and player number color)

That sounds too difficult.

What if I don't remember who is my character!?

I know right! This update sucks!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Yup. I just wanted it blue.

Sorry, you only get blue outlines now.

 

[Teriaaaaa!]

What if I don't remember who is my character!?

Blame Sakurai.

 

[ArchedThunder]

That sounds too difficult.

Don't worry, you'll get the hang of this difficult thing!

 

[Neoriceisgood]

In Brawl I often lost track of characters purely because the models are so drab and desaturated at times.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

For people who are still skeptical: go into Brawl or Melee, do a team battle, and put Mario and Luigi on green team. Then you'll see why these outlines are a good idea.

But don't stop complaining about these changes. We'd have nothing to talk about otherwise.

 

[Troubled Bat]

What if team attack is on, and I keep killing my partner!

 

[TheGreatLugia]

Another stupid thing about this that people on other boards are pointing out: Outlines becoming hard to see against similarly-colored backgrounds, especially the Blue Team outline against a blue sky.

Not only that, but how will we be able to notice where blue characters are with a blue background?

How are you supposed to tell where Sonic is in that screenshot? There's so much blue, he could be anywhere.

 

[BGBW]

What if?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

This is actually a pretty good idea. People who don't use outlines will have the choice anyway to be their specified alt color anyway.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Not only that, but how will we be able to notice where blue characters are with a blue background?

How are you supposed to tell where Sonic is in that screenshot? There's so much blue, he could be anywhere.

Why is there a picture of red shoes with no one wearing them? Are those a new item?

What if?

What if what?

Wasn't red team luigi pink?

why did you post a picture of red shoes

All I see are red and white shoes...Help Sakurai..how do I breath? I'm collapsing...

 

[The Great Gonzales]

What if I'm colorblind and can't see those outlines? What if I'm blind and can't see anything?

 

[Waluigilicious]

Ok I give up. Where is he?

Sakurai just shot himself in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Smash culture (I'm an expert), but palette swaps and teams being the same color but one being shaded slightly lighter are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an competitive Smash asshole player. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is to play like Captain Jack.

What this means is the Smash public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Smash 4 FOR WII U AND 3DS for either system, nor will they purchase any of Sakurai's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Sakurai has alienated an entire market with this move.

Sakurai, publicly apologize and cancel colored outlines for Smash or you can kiss your business goodbye.

never the Player number tags are present, so my guess is that will be present all the time in team battles

Wasn't red team luigi pink?

Yes, Luigi is pink for red teams

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Wasn't red team luigi pink?

I think so? I never really played on red team. All I remember is green team Mario and Luigi could be downright impossible to distinguish in the middle of battle.

 

[KHlover]

What if I can only see in greyscale? SAKURAIIII!

 

[Waluigilicious]

Good call.

 

[Teriaaaaa!]

What if I don't have a 3ds, how will I see my character then?

 

[Troubled Bat]

Not only that, but how will we be able to notice where blue characters are with a blue background?

Clearly the black outlines helps that. ;3

Wasn't red team luigi pink?

Pink shirt, red overalls.

What if I'm colorblind and can't see those outlines? What if I'm blind and can't see anything?

.

 

[Anth0ny]

so wait

what if everyone picks the same character and the same color

you have neutral, lighter shade, darker shade, and what??? this is important samurai

 

[Dagobert Duck]

I think so? I never really played on red team. All I remember is green team Mario and Luigi could be downright impossible to distinguish in the middle of battle.

But Mario got a "M" on his cap while Luigi got something similar to this "L"...i think he got a L because he is "L"arger than Mario who is "M"edium sized? Am I right?

 

[Regulus Tera]

Red Team has always been for losers. Blue Team and Green Team are superior.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

What if I want to play team battles with outlines TURNED OFF?!

 

[ArchedThunder]

What if I can only see in greyscale? SAKURAIIII!

Then no version of Team Battle works for you.

 

[Qurupeke]

Why are they giving us options?

Sorry if double post, but damn this one is good XD

Never gets old.

 

[Waluigilicious]

But Mario got a "M" on his cap while Luigi got something similar to this "L"...i think he got a L because he is "L"arger than Mario who is "M"edium sized? Am I right?

Yes, and Wario is W for Wide.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

What if I want to play team battles with outlines TURNED OFF?!

What if Sakurai doesnt develop Smash but is working on a coloring book with different outlines you have to fill in?

 

[The Great Gonzales]

But Mario got a "M" on his cap while Luigi got something similar to this "L"...i think he got a L because he is "L"arger than Mario who is "M"edium sized? Am I right?

But what if Mario gets a mushroom? Then Luigi gets the L because he's "L"ittler than "M"ega Mario! I can't keep up if everything keeps changing on me!

 

[Regulus Tera]

Yes, and Wario is W for Wide.

And Waluigi is.. uh.. I give up.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

What if I want to play team battles with outlines TURNED OFF?!

The game crashes

 

[Teriaaaaa!]

And Wario is "W"ombo sized confirmed.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Yes, and Wario is W for Wide.

And Waluigi is....
Fuck

I had fun once.

It was awful.

 

[Boss Doggie]

How can I play the game if my 3DS ran out of power and the charger is not nearby?
