So as many people have already noticed, during the Smash Direct, Diddy and Lucario used their Brawl renders for their character icons, despite the fact that they clearly have Smash 4 renders on the Smash 4 website.
Many people have attributed these being as place holders, but it strikes me as odd that only these two characters had this, even though Lucario in particular has been revealed for a while. The renders for Smash 4 have probably been done for a long time too. Why would these two characters be the only ones to not have their new renders?
Well, this is pure speculation, but what if your character's icon is customisable? Like, using artwork from previous Smash entries, artwork from the games the character originates from, or even specially made artwork by artists who created the characters?
A similar concept existed in Tekken Tag Tournament 2, which is developed by Bandai Namco too.
Of course, these may very well be place holders, but I just find it odd that they haven't updated the portraits of these two specific characters. And regardless, this is a feature I would like to see, and one that isn't to far fetched considering the customisation options we are getting.
If this were to be a thing, what kind of portraits would you like for your favourite characters?
Here are some examples of ones I would like to see:
