I know this has probably been pointed out but they're using the "smooth" Pikachu design this time around, removing all charm he once possessed.
Gross.
^ :lol
I don't know, but look at this:
Disgusting.
Reminds me Brawl when they used the new Fox. Downgrades are bad.
This is your opinion, but I don't really see what the thing is about Pikachu. This is waaaay better than that chubby Pikachu we used to have.
qq knows what I'm talking about. It doesn't matter I guess, no one else can see it.
_/¯I'M FINISHED!
Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
Pikachub has been popping diet pills.

Haters gonna hate on the new pikachu. I just love the look of the lighting on him, regardless of his new face.
I'm just surprised people can be so nitpicky over such minor changes.
He has chubby arms? OH NOOOOOO
Its not actual Melee Yoshi, its a brawl Hack of its Melee model.
Not that the actual Melee model was any prettier.

I disagree completely, this looks much better than Melee/Brawl Pikachu.
And speaking of Fox, honestly, I think neither his Melee design nor Brawl design are really that good. I don't know, maybe these games need something more Assault Fox.
I don't find it a big deal personally but I always just preferred the short and chubby Pikachu. I can live with it.

I think we can all agree that the worst offender is Kirby. They really should have left him the way he looked in Melee. How anyone can like the new updated "improved" Kirby is beyond me. Just way too much downgraded details and smoother features, he should be chubbier and have more details added to his hats. Truly, he is unrecognizable at this point.

I'm really not digging the game's visual, it looks so... whatever.
I hope Sakurai is giving this game AAA treatment, if he is tired he better go take several seats, and if Iwata wants this game to be finished soon, fuck him too. Smash Bros 4 could've looked a lot better than this.
To be honest, pretty much every Nintendo game for Wii U looks like ass, except for Mario Kart (lol?).
I'm not trying to start shit here, so just ignore me, lol.

That would be awesome.

I think Melee Fox and Falco were the best designs they've had in any of the games they've been in

I'm not sure about Fox, but I definitely prefer Brawl's Falco design.
SF643D should be the default look for all SF characters.

Let's be honest with ourselves. It would be the male hunter in Rathalos armor, probably with a great sword. Final Smash would involve a Rathalos in some way.
EDIT: Okay, that last part sounds awesome.

Seeing that Yoshi image back there reminds me, Melee Dinosaur Yoshi beats the hell out of current Stubby Newt Yoshi, that is all.
Mostly I'm talking about Pikachus facial anatomy. The new Pikachu designs attempt to smooth over any defining facial protrusions so he just looks like a oval/blob with red circles and ears.
See how his snout/nose does not pop out much?
Smooth Pikachu has a lack of defining facial features beyond eyes/red circles/ears. Here are other renditions of smooth Pikachu:
A sharp Pikachu (I would just call it regular Pikachu) is one that has more thought put into the anatomy of the head. A definable cranium. Full, chubby cheeks. A snout/nose that sticks out enough.
Admittedly it doesn't look like the new model is a full-on smooth Pikachu. Probably because that style looked like trash in 3D. Pikachu in SSB4 seems to be smoothed over a bit though.
And yes I was being ridiculous in my first posts. I thought it would be funnier.
We can all agree that new Bowser is sexiest Bowser, yes?

Just because blobchu isn't a nostalgic design doesn't mean it isn't a better design.
Looks more like canon Pikachu and less like shitty anime Pikachu.

This looks better than MK8, for me at least.
He would be flawless if he has his regular VA instead of random monster noises.
His face is so flat that it looks weird. Nothing resembling an animal there. But hey, it must be nostalgia.
edit: I'm not sure what that means, DaBoss.
lol OK. Sorry if this comes off as rude, but that is the only response I can come up to that sentence.
Well you're saying Pikachu's face doesn't resemble an animal at all, I just find that funny. I can't see what you're seeing basically.

Not every design needs more 'thought' put into it.
This is why Rare characters are so tasteless.
Why does it need to look more like an animal? Yoshi is a good example; the less he looks like a dinosaur the better his design is getting.
Pikachus old head is kind of like a human baby/kitten hybrid(or something) done in a cartoony style. Smooth Pikachus is just a blob. Though like I said above, SSB4s Pikachu is in between those two styles. If you can't see it that's ok.
It's definitely a preference. You can like the new one and I'll like the old one for the reasons stated.

I seriously can't tell the difference between those two different (?) designs beyond one being lower poly and fatter.
I just want to say that I loved whatever lighting they rendered kirby
Totally off topic from the Pikachu discussion, but I really hope they fix the proportions on Wario. He's one of my mains and I really hated the fact he looked like some super short stubby little creature....THIS is how he's supposed to be stacked....
http://www.gamehiker.com/wiki/images/thumb/a/ac/Wario.jpg/250px-Wario.jpg
not this short armed nonsense from Brawl.....
http://www.all-nintendo.com/IMG/jpg/wario_super_smash_bros_brawl_0.jpg
Also heres a size comparison of how tall he actually should be. In Brawl he was like shorter than Mario when he should be taller
http://www.mariowiki.com/images/3/36/Size_chart.jpg
Here, we see Wario is a tad shorted than DK, with average length arms and his legs are a little longer (although you cant really see cause Petey Pirahna is in the way)
I hope they make him more anatomically correct in relation to the games cause this is ridiculous

Oh, believe me, I do too! Maybe we'll see a Virtual Console re-release for some of the older games and they can just shoehorn Chrom and Lucina as the reveal for them. Who knows?
Same. They aren't true design changes so I don't see the "big deal".
Actually no. Brawl wario is correct wario, he is fat with big arms and stubby legs, ware is incorrect. He is shorter than Mario.
The real problem is the lack of a wario land flex taunt.

I liked the fat Pikachu in SSB lol

That picture you posted pretty much is how he's supposed to look regardless of Brawl. His arms are longer and his legs are still stubby but long enough for him to not look as short

Wario looks fine in Brawl, it's more how he's animated. Dude looks like a human Mr. Game & Watch when instead he should be one of the most fluidly cartoony characters. I know it's supposed to be a tribute to Ware (even though he doesn't move like that in those games either, but whatever just roll with it) but it was still jarring to see him feel so 'off' while Diddy Kong was nearly pixel perfect to a set of games a Microsoft first-party studio made nearly 20 years earlier.
The lack of any real Land/World references or a shoulder-barge (<3 Project M for this) is totally ridiculous as well. Hope Ware kind of falling a lot in popularity lately forces Sakurai to start acknowledging the other half of the character.
I think he looks fine.
Ware's world is more interesting than land to be quite honest. I can understand why people would draw more from there.
