Miiverse Daily Pic Thread: 2nd Edition (Updated 9/19)

Pic of the day. The leg and arm positions of some characters will automatically be mirrored when facing left or right. Mario, for example, will have his chest shown in the foreground regardless of whether he's facing right or left. This was quite a tedious task, but thanks to it we can show the best features of each character even better.

Here's another example: in the previous games, you saw the back of Kirby's head when facing left. Now Kirby looks great from any angle.

Basically saying any symmetrical character will now face the screen more often. Exceptions so far are Pit, Link, Samus, and Marth.

 

[Deleted member]

Wasn't it the Black Bowser clone that turned into Giga Bowser in Melee?

EDIT: So this is about the new mirroring thing rather than the costumes.

Some like Marth don't have this; I'm willing to bet it's because of the weapon.

[Swamp Sensei]

All Pokemon except for Pikachu and Jigglypuff have different colors. They will probably stay the same.

Didn't Lucario and Charizard already change colors?

More hues than anything.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

I liked seeing the backs of characters. It gave captain Falcon two taunts in one. This will surely be missed. I don't know why they changed it....

 

[IsmaR]

So anyone have the captions?

Well obviously ninja'd since I manually typed it out.

 

[Kenith]

More hues than anything.

Lucario turned grey, and Mewtwo looked the way he did because he is so lightly colored to begin with.

 

[Radical Bones]

My father! I finally understand!!

So from now on, we can't see the backside of the characters?

*thinks about Miss Fit and Zamus* ...SAKURAAAAAAAAAIIIIII!!! D<

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

See? Just a new color. We don't ask for a lot. Just something new. Anything new.

 

[Bravetriforcer]

I am surprised that everyone finds this update to be better than the last two.

Seeing as how it's not Monday's absolutely nothing and Tuesday's showing off how pretty something we already knew about is, this is pretty nice.

Especially since it shows off a feature we assumed would be in the game but hadn't actually seen yet.

 

[SmashShadow]

Didn't Lucario and Charizard already change colors?

Not really. They were most just different shades of the same colors which made teams a pain.

 

[Katy Parry]

Did we not know this already from Gameplay footage?

 

[Morbi]

*thinks about Miss Fit and Zamus* ...SAKURAAAAAAAAAIIIIII!!! D<

Bad update is bad. This isn't a positive change, not at all!

 

[Staarih]

Ohh, so the main idea of the pics were the positions... right...

 

[Kenith]

Did we not know this already from Gameplay footage?

No, but Sakurai thinks we didn't notice it and care to see it.

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

Hmm, that's actually a big detail since a lot of animations are asymmetrical. I think the previous smash games were always careful to make sure facing left or right always ahd the same reach (very important for someone like Link who always uses his sword with his left arm), but it did have some quirks like how Captain Falcon taunts considerably faster facing one direction or the other.

 

[Wyoming]

I didn't even realized they were mirrored. I was too busy focusing on those color palettes...

SO much better looking than Brawl's.

Yes, yes we did. But you know, a reconfirmation is always necessary.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

Terrible update. Worst game ever. 0/10 Would not bang.

 

[Sehnsucht]

No, but Sakurai thinks we didn't notice it and care to see it.

His modest ass probably thinks that no one actually bothered to watch the Direct.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

*takes pics of awesome colors*

*talks about positioning*

Good job Sakurai...

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

I'm glad we're seeing some color schemes! I'm also glad to see Greninja has a totally, distinctly red color swap. Before, Pokémon (and Sonic) barely got a tint, which I suspect has to do with the Pokémon Company's harsh rules about how their characters are allowed to be depicted. Looks like they eased up at least for Greninja.

[N3ON]

We still need oldest school Bowser palette.

More hues than anything.

I'd say silver Lucario is more than just a simple hue variation.

 

[FalKoopa]

Well, we have our official confirmation of palette swaps. Brown Boswer look great.

 

[MasterofMonster]

Well, we have our official confirmation of alt costumes. Brown Boswer look great.

This Bowser is black, has red hair, and has big lips. Let's wait and see how much Nintendo is called Racists this time, cuz' that Bowser is obviously offensive.

 

[ActionHankBeard]

I like that one of Bowser's alts is based on Morton Koopa. Kinda sucks that we can't see characters backs anymore. Always liked that added detail to the characters. Mirroring seems like that lazy way around it.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

Well, we have our official confirmation of alt costumes. Brown Boswer look great.

I think you mean "alt colors", or "pallete swaps"

Hope to see silver Bowser soon.

And the Pokemon better have their shiny colorations this time around....

While certainly it seems that most hand-to-hand fighters will have this mirroring effect. I imagine weapon wielding characters such as Link, Rosalina (the wand she carries), and Pit may not have this mirroring effect for the sake of continuity. After all, Link carries his sword in his left hand and his shield in his right, so if he had mirroring then that would mean when he was facing left he would carry his shield in his left and his sword in his right, which wouldn't make much sense. The same would go for Rosalina, who would have to switch her wand from her left to her right hand.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Little Mac will probably be an exception as well. Wouldn't make sense if he's mirrored.

You missed the second pic with Bowser/Kirby today. Update the list plz!

 

[Cap'nChreest]

I'm assuming these characters won't mirror their actions when facing another direction. Maybe theres more. Possibly because she always holds a gun in one hand. I don't know yet. I haven't looked.

Don't forget these guys

 

[Cap'nChreest]

Ah. I guess you're right. but why villager and LM? I guess you looked already.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Ah. I guess you're right. but why villager and LM? I guess you looked already.

Villager can take out his string shot in hand, making it a weapon. Although I did come to that conclusion when I saw his back in a video.

For Lil Mac's case, he's a boxer. Handedness is important.

 

[Deleted member]

Ah. I guess you're right. but why villager and LM? I guess you looked already.

LM,being a boxer, has his stance dependent on his dominant hand, having it either behind or in front his other hand. Having this switch with mirroring would be a break in continuity because most boxer's keep the same hand in front or behind at all times.

 

[spader13]

I never minded the original design where the characters' backs were visible, but I'm sure it isn't something that's that noticable in gameplay anyways.

As for the palette swaps, which is what originally caught my eye in the pictures, as discussed, it's nice Pokemon are getting full recolors, or at least Greninja did which gives hope for the others. I at least want Lucario revamped, and for non-Pokemon, Sonic.
