Character Selection Screen

[Sonicguy726]

How do you folks think the character portraits will be organized?

Some mockups of the character selection screen. To make effective use of as much screen area as possible, I have the character portraits extending from edge to edge. On the left screen, that's the "nine or ten columns with five rows" setup that seems to be pretty popular in prediction/wishlist rosters. On the right is a more conservative setup with just three rows of fourteen. (I personally prefer this one.)

I don't think we'll see series grouped by columns like they were in Brawl, especially now that the Mario series goes up to five. I think characters of the same series will be grouped horizontally instead, more like in Melee.

It'll probabaly be 5x9 cause melee was 3x9 and brawl was 4x9

It would be pretty neat if you could change the appearance of the menu/character select.

Choose between a 64, Melee, Brawl, and SSB4 theme.

Neat, but it won't happen. lol

I guess it'll be a 4 x 12 roster with series horizontally organized. I think it makes more sense - you'd lose a lot of space on the sides if you'd go for a 5 x N, compared to this.

A layout something like this (ignore Sheik/ZSS/Pokemon, they'd appear similar to Brawl):

I think 5x9 makes more sense you can have it setup similar to brawl having each column being mainly one series (mario then mario spin offs then zelda then metroid etc)

The Mario series had five characters in Melee, and in that game the roster was lined out horizontally.

but now like brawl it can be lined out vertically cause I just think it looks better and more organised that way

I hope it's organized horizontally like in Melee. Vertically was good, but I liked Melee's style better.

Although having Ganondorf next to Captain Falcon was weird. I know it's because of that rumor that it was originally Black Shadow's place, but it's still weird. Like Pikachu being sandwiched in the Mario universe until Luigi gets unlocked. I mean, wtf??

I've tried experimenting with different ways to organize it, but with all the newcomers, it just can't be a rectangle. This truly makes me curious as to how Sakurai will organize it in the next game.

Have they announced the amount of characters in the game yet?

Nope, and there's a 90% chance that we won't know it until days before release.

This looks too space consuming to me. In order for the 4 player slots to fit, these picture would have to be pretty small.

it's starting to fill up!

I moved Sonic down behind the task bar cuz ... well, I wanted Little Mac to have more visibility

Ganondorf is next to C. Falcon because all the clones were placed next to the character of which their moveset is based upon.
