8 players for online?

[FauxShaux]

I was browsing the Unofficial Boxart Thread and noticed that at least one (I can't remember the exact number) of the boxarts said 8 players for online. (I know it's unofficial)

What do you guys think of 8 players? I think it'd be too much. After being with only 4 for all this time, I could only imagine 6 being the maximum while keeping the game fun.

This has been said before.. try the search function.

But definitely way too many. 4 is good.

yeah it would just be tooo much. i mean it gets crazy with 4 and with sum of the stages i dont even think 8 people could fit.

I tried the search function, but only looked through the first page of the search. Oh well.

I think the idea of 8 players is way to much. You'd almost be forced to pick a huge stage to handle all of the characters; it just seems overboard 4 players is fine; imo

That just reminded me of how big Hyrule Temple is. I could see 8 players on that, but if the entire stage was used the camera would be extremely zoomed out. If each player had their own view it could work, but then again having 7 other players to think about is still a lot to keep up with. I'd like to see a 4v4 team battle in Hyrule Temple before I completely ignored the idea of 8-player play.

There's already a thread about this, I should know because I made it.

It could've been worse:

But it also could have been better.

8 players = no chance.

Separate views would make the game suck.

Items would produce OmniLag. (the ultimate lag) Think Black Hole Glitch.
