Smash 3DS Do You Use The 3D When Playing?

[Duplighost]

I don't use 3D because I feel like it obscures my vision when playing Smash, and with all the explosions and attacks going on constantly, it hurts my eyes. I usually don't use 3D at all on any game, as a matter of fact.

So, do you use 3D in Smash 4? What are your opinions on the 3D quality in this game?

 

[anikom15]

The 3D on the new 3DS is much better, so I usually play with it on.

I usually have it about halfway on. If it's full I get headaches.

 

[UltimateXsniper]

Of course. I swear, I never heard anyone talk about having 3D on and you see fighters fly at your screen. I can't be the only one to ever talk about that.

 

[Heroine of Winds]

Not really. Only time I turned the 3D on was during the first time I've played Smash 4 for the 3DS. After that, I barely used it. Same goes for other 3DS games I own.

GRUMP!!!!!!!

I use the 3D a lot but not always

 

[Link24242]

I couldn't care less about 3D, so I have a 2DS. I don't even give myself the option.

 

[Shin Chie]

I barely use the 3d at all in an 3ds game honestly

 

[pershona]

I literally never used 3d for any 3ds games, besides Fire Emblem Awakening.

 

[Tino]

I never used 3D for any of my games whatsoever

 

[mario123007]

Even though I got a New 3DS, I will only open 3D when watching replay.

I think the super stable 3D is very handy. (I use my brother's New 3DS)

 

[Sir. Murf]

I have it on occasionally because I like how some of the stages look with added depth.

 

[HeavyMetalSonic]

I'll usually only use it when...

1. I start up the game. I'll have a mess about with it and see how it looks. Usually I won't keep it on though because I don't really want to have to sit with my arms stuck out in front of me in the same spot for prolonged periods of time.
2. When there is a cutscene. Some games with have fancy looking cutscenes, so I might flick it on for that. And example would be maybe the intro for Pokemon games.

The problem with Smash is you will probably be moving your 3ds a fair bit trying to smash attacks and such. So it can easily throw off the 3D effect so you can't see the screen too well.

I use it at times just for the fun of it. For the most part, I play it in 2D.

 

[GhostUrsa]

I play with the 3D on a lot more since upgrading, as sweet-spotting the 3D isn't necessary anymore. I like how the game plays with it on, and usually leave it off if I'm playing on the bus. Though with smash, I'll have it on the lowest setting (Which still looks really good on the New 3DS, and it has no issues with headaches or eye strain) but normally have it at just shy of half power with other games.

 

[visvim]

I find it incredibly distracting and I'm on the OG 3DS so constantly keeping it aligned/angled is a chore. I only ever turn it on for cinematics.

 

[Modesty]

Same here, I'd rather save money than have the 3D option

 

[FalKoopa]

Rarely, and never in a serious match.

3D is good for trophy viewing though.

 

[Kornaki]

Never with the old 3ds, always with the new one.

 

[Locuan]

It usually bothers me so I don't use it. I like to view the cut-scenes in 3D though.

 

[DanishButrCookies]

I cannot for the life of me utlize the 3ds controls the way I use a gamecube controller.

What does that have to do with using the 3D effect?

I totally read the post wrong lol... I thought you meant using the 3ds as a controller, not the 3D itself. In that case, yeah I never use 3D either, for any games actually. With the old 3DS, the 3D(as most know) is not the best.

 

[Propeller Toad]

The only time I ever used the 3D mode on Smash is whenever I have paused the game and am trying to take a screenshot with better angles. However, other than that, no, I hardly ever use the 3D feature in gameplay.

 

[Curious Villager]

Wow, I'm one of the few who does enjoy using 3D I guess. I even made some 3D screenshots from the Wii U version.... ^^;

 

[LunarWingCloud]

If I had a New 3DS I would.

But I don't.

 

[Mintcario]

I never really have used the 3D effect on my 3DS XL... It feels like it slows the console down for some reason.

 

[YoPoYo9100]

Now that I got the New 3DS I always use the 3D effect. I really like the subtle depth it gives the game.

 

[Freduardo]

I use it in friendly matches (where I'm winning) and against computers. I turn it off for serious matches or friendly matches where I'm losing.

I like it, but I play better when the angle of my screen isn't a concern. A New 3DS would be cool though. Or just Circle Pad Pro Support.

 

[Octagon]

Hell no, Smash is a fighting game and the 3d lessens my focus when playing

 

[Saclam]

I occasionally put 3d on when I play,but usually turn it off around 20 min or later,don't want to get a headache.

 

[BurgleTurd]

The 3d isn't integral to my gaming experiences with the 3ds, so I normally forget to turn it on.

 

[Team Plasma N]

I almost never use the 3D in Smash 4, I find its 3D is too weak compared to Tales of the Abyss and KH3D, plus for Smash it just seems slightly distracting to me for some reason, yet it was one of the features I was looking forward to when the game was announced.

 

[Khao]

I use the 3D when it actually adds something to the game.

Smash is a game that only offers two dimensions of movement. I don't need depth perception, because all interactive objects are at the same depth. Plus, when I play in 2D, I get a little bit of anti-aliasing, which is very welcome in the 3DS's low screen resolution.

Some games are more enjoyable when I can more easily recognize the depth of the objects in the screen (Super Mario 3D World and A Link Between Worlds are good examples), or even simply when the landscapes look better and more appealing (Like in Kid Icarus Uprising, so ****ing gorgeous).

Neither of those is true for Smash, so 3D stays off. In a 2D game, I prefer the anti-aliasing to pointless depth perception.

You know your landing lag is reduced by one frame if you have the 3d on max right?

 

[Khao]

Really? I had no idea.

But I don't think I'll need it, I'm already using the well-known Wireless-Cancel technique, where landing lag is cut completely if you turn wi-fi on/off just before landing. Makes the game so much faster.

 

[Mo433]

I usually always use the 3D effect on pretty much every game. However lately I've noticed that for Smash, I haven't used the 3D effect as much.

 

[Deleted member]

I just got Smash for the 3DS a few days ago but no I don't use the 3D at all or for any of my games for that matter. It gives me a headache and makes me dizzy.

 

[GSM_Dren]

It's pretty nice to use while playing Pokemon, but for Smash its hard to keep up. 3D off is the way to go for my eyes.

 

[Donkey_Inferno]

I play every 3ds game with the 3D all the way on, all the time, every time, always, yes.

Always had it on with my OG 3ds

Always have it on with my NEW 3ds XL

 

[ExigeOlimin]

This is the only game where I do not like using the 3D with. Even with the New 3DS XL, I refuse to use it with Sm4sh. When the camera zooms in and part of the stage gets cut off from view, it bothers my eyes. The 3D only ends with headache for me.
