48 characters, eh? :p

Very good. My favorite fake so far! It actually looks like the few menus that we've seen so far. Nice touch with the gamecube controllers!

Thanks!
Yeah I choose 48 for now to avoid covering over any of the clone characters from Melee.
I could easily put Pokemon Trainer in Pichu's place and Ike in Roy's place.
Then I could cut the 8 slots at the bottom and bring the total down to 40.. which sounds more reasonable.

Nice idea Croco, I prefer to see this than the characters page on the Dojo

Keep it up!

Why didn't you put MetaKnight and Snake???
Click to expand...
Thanks! :)

One main reason..
We have yet to see Snake again.. and his look may have changed.. Both might also be in different poses.

So I'm just going to update it whenever Sakurai reveals a new character in order.

Only thing i don't like is how the text covers about half the picture and its just...A normal text and nothing special. It would look better if it was the font Sakurai used in this picture for Samus



Also make it like ssb64. With the text on the top left and no boxes behind it :D.

Anyways i don't want this to sound like a hate comment...I love it other then those things. The selection boxes look awesome!

Nice work there, very believable...

I like that you are putting on announced characters only and the style of the bottom section. Plus using brawls designs instead of random ones.

Dont like the way you've done thier names though... those are messy... and very unproffesional...

8.9/10 - sort out the names and you are gonna be near full marks!

Thanks. Any criticism is accepted. I'll try something like that to see how it looks.
Though to point something out.. I used the way Melee had it's character box slots..

Thanks. I wouldn't say that names look unprofessional though. Did you ever take a look at Melee's selection screen? Mine is almost done the same way.
Though I may have the font size off.. is that what is wrong?
Anyway I'm to try to fix it up later tonight.

It just looked all stretched and the yont looked wrong. Plus you could use abbreviation to make things readable (DK, PT, Diddy K). Do you think that you fade the top on the name-boxes so that it fades into the picture. I think that would look a lot better... and it would be easier on the eyes...

Ok It's alright. Better that way.

Don't forget to keep this updated! and the melee boxes are better. Let it be as it is.

Edit: aaaa is good to look at it... can't wait to brawl

i believe that authentic pokemon has some sort of accent over the "e", also they might abbreviate to PKMN

Thanks.
Hmmm I forgot about that 'é' in Pokémon. I may try the abbreviations also.

Thanks for the tip.. I can try the fading and the abbreviations..It might take me some time though to fix it all.. I will need to cut out all the characters again.

Ok it's UPDATED with a new look.
Took me a couple of hours.. lol like 3 hours..
I needed to cutout the characters again..
Though this time I was wise enough to save copies of the cutouts.

I need to fix a few other things..
*Add the shadow behind Yoshi..
*Add one of the master hand grabbing things..
*Add a token thingy..
*Fix the text in a few areas.

I'll show a updated one the next character update.

Sorry, but anything over 44 characters is just unrealistic.

Everything else looks superb though! It'll be fun to see how this compares to the real character select screen.

Btw i was wondering how you decide where to place each character Croco? is there any method to this?
Click to expand...
Sorta..
I'm adding boxes where the Melee characters were placed.
As time goes on and if I discover if any characters are removed.. I will start moving stuff around.

Lols, it looks amazing! My only problem with it is Pokemon Trainer--I'd think you'd only see his face, not his pokemon

ok it's updated..
I changed the colors in some areas. Added Ice Climbers in the in 2nd player slot.
also to point out.. the color order of the player select should be Red, Blue, Yellow and Green. I made a error before and had Yellow and Green switched.

I know what you mean.. but it actually started to bug me a bit because you play as the Pokemon and not just him.
