I might try to do the other revealed guys soon.

Aw, no tree pose.

I might do some of em in additional poses if I get bored, it's ridiculously easy for some of em to do so.

By the way... who is the character sprite in your avatar?

Princess Tutu from the anime Princess Tutu.

Princess Tutu from the anime Princess Tutu.

Great anime if you're into ninjas duking it out in the form of ballet.

That Bowser looks rather robotic for some reason.

His hands are a bit more angular than they should be.

So any guesses on the size of the 3DS version hm?

Since Brawl was 7.5 gigs, SSB4 for the 3DS probably won't have huge pre-rendered cutscenes, other aspects such as models/textures/characters shouldn't take up as much space as they do in other games/SSB4 for the Wii U and 3DS carts can go as large as 8 gigs, I'm guessing it'll be around the same size as Brawl, if not a gig or two less.

That'll make downloading it a bitch though. :V

 

[ffdgh]

Actually without the subspace layer, brawl was 4gb iirc. Possibly smaller.

 

[Riki]

As I'm on vacation I have to use a tiny shitty laptop to sprite, for those wondering why I'm slowing down a lot.

Little update anyway, Fox and Kirby added since last time.

Beautiful work. Really love these!

I think SSB3DS would be about 3 to 4GB, so it wouldn't be that bad.

Those cutscenes took up 4 gigs alone?

Jesus christ.

 

[ZAMtendo]

382 pages and counting. It's all about Smash Bros! I feel the love! Most anticipated title of 2014!

Not just the cutscenes. SSE is really inefficiently coded; even without the cutscenes it takes up a ton of space.

I recently rewatched the Developer Direct with Sakurai just cause the pics aren't enough to feed my hype.

The game looks absolutely gorgeous in motion, I feel the pics don't do it justice.

Yeah, you're right. I'm still waiting for Nintendo to announce the Direct so we can hope to see new trailers.

I keep watching every piece of media over and over again trying to find secrets. No one's in the clouds and no character icons are "mistakenly" littered about. I thought for sure after the first day of its reveal some really interesting things would come to light, but sadly no. I blame all of you.

 

[C.Olimar788]

Here's a topic idea:

Kirby hats.

What do you think kirby's new forms will look like for WFT, Megaman, and Villager? Megaman's is pretty obvious (and will look so fly) but what do you expect the WFT and villager hat/form to be like?

If your favourite character that is as-of-yet-to-be-confirmed *does* get in, what do you expect kirby's form to look like?

I will be sincerely disappointed if Kirby's Villager hat isn't the classic horned cap from Animal Crossing GCN. It would be a grand reference.

I just want to know what the heck Kirby's hat for the inevitable Little Mac will be. He doesn't really have any... distinctive headgear. Maybe Kirby could wear the boxing helmet that Mac/Glass Joe get in Punch-Out!! Wii?

For Animal Crossing hat, it's possible since Kirby still got Young Zelda's hat in Melee and Brawl. Well, Kirby could get Little Mac's thick eyebrows and spike hairs.

I would assume like this.

Thank Arceus, Mime Kirby is back.

 

[qq more]

Thank Arceus, Mime Kirby is back.

Was Mime Kirby missing in Brawl?! I've never noticed...

 

[Kokonoe]

Was Mime Kirby missing in Brawl?! I've never noticed...

Yeah, they robbed me of Daisy Peach and Mime Kirby.

 

[rekameohs]

Yeah, they robbed me of Daisy Peach and Mime Kirby.

I'm confused.

Those are both in Brawl.

 

[G. N. Arly]

I would assume like this.

Yup. That villager kirby fits my mental bill.

Princess Tutu from the anime Princess Tutu.

oh! okey doke. I'll give it a check out, thanks!

 

[Kokonoe]

I'm confused.

Those are both in Brawl.

That's grayscale kirby. Notice his feet, mouth, and eyes?

And that Daisy Peach doesn't have the proper amulet as well as the actual differences referencing Daisy's dress like the one in Melee did.

 

[ffdgh]

I'm confused.

Those are both in Brawl.

In peach's case, she had a different dress, shorter gloves, flower based accessories and a tan for her daisy look while brawls was just a recolor.

No clue about Kirby.

Edit: beaten

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

2015 Bros. for Wii U is better than Cut Bros. for Wii U.

But I get the felling that Wii U's skyrocketing sales and the split console development will be cornering Sakurai.

3DS version will be one that got delayed due to technical issues. IMO

Oh, pshaw. So picky.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Yes, but they are being developed in tandem, and time is still an issue. Unless the 3DS version is significantly delayed I don't see how splitting development efforts will favor the Wii U version.

 

[Kokonoe]

So if Pikachu in Melee had Red's hat.

and Red showed up in Brawl

while Pikachu had Brendan's headband from Emerald in Brawl

Does that mean Smash Bros. U will have a Gen III trainer?

Oh, pshaw. So picky.

When you love something enough, you notice the little things! Haha.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Well, I'm pretty sure that they are going to do models for Wii U first then port them over to 3DS, hence the reason why we don't have 3DS screenshots of some characters.

I think that they should trying to cram a lot of contents and characters in Wii U first so they can release Wii U in order to grab more customers to buy Wii U and delay 3DS until they port over and working on the models into 3DS quality. Also they should resolve the issues so they can release 3DS version in couple of months. Hopefully it would spark some fans to buy Wii U.

That sounds fine but it doesn't acknowledge that the 3DS version is creating extra work for the team that could be otherwise doing something else. We don't know a lot of the details about the process, and it may be a bit of paranoia on my part, but even if the split development results in minor drawbacks it is worrisome to me.

well, I'm sure that they have their own team that would convert the models into 3DS quality but i'm concerned about contents and stages for Wii U. I would love to have more than 30 stages for Wii U but I doubt that we will. Some of our contents such as single modes, stages and characters might ended up getting cut because of split development.

Yeah, I'm afraid that I would play on 3DS more and ended up wore out my 3DS. And I would love to play few stages from my favorite handheld on Wii U, but It look like it mightn't happen.

That would be awesome to have a 2nd Pokemon Trainer. Though, I'd die happy if we get Gold in the game.

 

[Boss Doggie]

But that's just the heandband, not the hat. You can't have Brendan without the pseudohair!

 

[Codeblue]

I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with Sakurai's attention to detail or yours.

In the RSE remake, they retcon it so it's really his hair!

In Melee, you can play as Nana in a certain alt color. You can't in Brawl if I'm not mistaken...

 

[Kokonoe]

I keep forgetting that's not his hair...

Well, I can imagine they did that since they wanted to keep Pikachu's kawaii ears.

Ditch Red for Brendan as Pokemon Trainer (repping RS remakes), add Pokemon Champion (Cynthia, queen of all regions) as an extra character.

Or maybe May instead of Brendan for extra recognisability and adding an extra female to the roster.

I think Red should stay as he and his Pokemon are pretty dang iconic.

Keep Red, replace Jigglypuff with a Hoenn Pokemon (Mawile or something? idk. If it wasn't for the new Mewtwo form I'd say throw Gardevoir in his place instead but given it I'd say he's a dead cert to return), add Cynthia anyway.

 

[ALM5252]

Yes you can, it just doesn't switch the CSP* around to reflect that you play as Nana like Melee did.

I don't think the original 12 characters should ever be removed/replaced from Smash Brothers.

 

[Professor Beef]

replace Jigglypuff with a Hoenn Pokemon

hahahaha

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Jigglypuff's just a lazy Kirby (though Wigglytuff is the business).
