I hope they at least change the portraits... or maybe make it customizable. Pretty, drawn instead of modeled character portraits, that, I could live with. This way, it looks like a bad photo manip.

Doesn't anyone else agree that it looks like crap? o_0
im not a huge fan either, but its doubtful that whatevers they do with them will add or detract anything from the experience. seeing your characters' heads tick away has a bit of nostalgia value. i'll miss that.

who says you can't, the heads were in the other 2, and you see the screenie where Link kills mario, see the +1/-1?

Did anyone else notice that the 'sheild' colors and icon colors are the same? Red, blue, yellow, green in that order, just like in Melee.

Now, I'm not CLAIMING I know anything about sheilds, I'm just saying that the icons are colored the same and that the sheilds corresponded in the last game.

That is the standard way. Most games when colouring for 4 players go in the order of Red, Blye, Yellow, Green. Miss Scarlet is the first to go in Cludoe for example.

I didn't see any screen shots with shields in them. Did I miss something?

The names are cut off...not literally, but their white, and the parts that are not on the colored slash under the profile of the character gets lost in the background.

Otherwise, Sakurai seems to be making the character you pick more personalized, putting their face on the damage meter, could be a foreshadowing for character intro's from 64.

The new meters are cool lookin', but I wish they were transparent. <.< I'm sure, even though they are smaller than the older ones, that they will be troublesome when playing on stages like Hyrule Temple. D:

I don't like the huge portraits on screen. Hopefully that is only for time matches. I'd like to see heads for stock again.

They might not be as big as you think they are. I mean these are zoomed in shots after all.

Has anyone considered that since we've only seen the portraits in How to Play, it might just be a way to make sure uninformed viewers of the site know exactly how the damage system works? Especially those who don't know that a mushroom correlates to Mario and a Triforce to Link? Makes it easier to see that when guy with red hat punches guy with green hat, that the guy with green hat's (whose corresponding face is right beside his damage %) damage goes up.

I think this is only an illustration. I think we'll get our icons back.

Plus, the Mii thing is a great idea, especially with the expressions corresponding to hits. Gone to make a Sakurai.

I don't know where can you see the bad thing in the character illustrations in Brawl! I think its lovely and cool! As long as it does not interfere with the gameplay that is.

To me, the picture icons look like they were stuck on there afterwards... But thats just me.. Especially from a side angle, pause, snapshot.. no %'s at the bottom..

"No matter how many times I see it, I still can't stand the new Fox look..."
LOL WHERES HIS FOX 13 HELMET?

"I see his helmet." Ya it's very small, I guess Fox finally got out of the Fox 13 80's news van and stepped into the recent times. lol

That's not showing damage added, but how far the knockback is based on damage... and I don't know what to say about Mario's info.

EDIT: It looks like there's enough room between the border of the screen to Link's info for Mario's to be cut off.

EDIT2: It's not the same hit, Mario is in the exact same frame of the attack.

Yeah I guess you're right, first glimpse it looks like it though, and I just noticed the shadows are in different spots.

I wonder if their mugshots will change if you choose a different colored costume.
