Character Select Screen

[RPGatWill]

I think it'll have a scroll option using L and R, that makes the most sense to me. I want to be able to actually see the portraits without squinting at tiny boxes. Also characters from the same franchise will likely be grouped together. I do like the idea of being able to choose your favorites to fill the starting screen, but that seems a little difficult to pull off, so it's probably not likely to happen.

Would be awesome though.

Honestly, does anyone think putting the fighters' names in both the roster box and the highlighted screen is redundant?

That's true...
Then, we could have only the character portraits in the top screen and could be a solution to the problem mentioned in my last post...

It's obviously not going to look anything like the demo, mostly with the way the characters are layed out, because the names are distorted. It's pretty easy to see. They're squished down to fit in the boxes, lol.

Well if that ends up being the starting roster it COULD be really close to that. I mean, with seeming close to 45~50 characters this time, you could have 15 characters on each page, maybe 16? 16 is an even number so you'd get 48 characters total with 16 to the left, 16 in the center and 16 to the right.

Even then that's different from the demo build huh... could also be 15 20 15 or any number of combinations, I'm just going with the 16 since it appeals in appearance to me.

I dont think there has been a thread about the 3ds select screen. What are your thoughts on it where do you think the settings will go do you like it or dislike it?

I think it will scroll (Welcome to the ban club )

I don't think it'll be necesary to add a scrolling screen, did some sort of "experiment" just now. (of which I sadly couldn't get a better picture of, my camera is ****ing awful.)

That's 49 characters + random.

Not a single one of them is even slightly hard to identify (in person, I mean, sorry) and if you make the black bars slightly thicker there'll be more than enough space for every name to be easily readable. (or just screw the names, lots of games do that, just show them while highlighting the character.)

Try it for yourselves, make a 400x240 fake roster image, get it inside your 3DS, and stare at the screen. Heck, while you're at it, you could post a better picture of it, if any of you guys has a decent camera. =P

I respect you for spending the time to find this out. Looking at it you are right in that it doesn't look difficult to identify any of them. However once you add in the stickers used to apply your and the CPU characters (Up to four) it may not work. Though it looks like even that might work with small enough circles...

So if this happens like that where would the setting button be since we know what will be on the bottom screen

There's some random empty space on the top of the bottom screen, for all we know, the settings are normally there, and they just took them off for the demo.

Could be we will just have to wait and see
