Just like how Marie and Pearl got into Smash!
I thought I didn’t like it at first when I saw Wind Waker for the first time but I think it was more the character design I didn’t care for as much rather than the graphical style. A lot of modern cel shaded games look great and Wind Waker has aged better than many other games at the time.
for me it was WW and SS. I know a lot of people say links mouth looks weird in the latter but I really liked the watercolour inspired aesthetic
It ages MUCH better than realistic artstyles.
everything does
And it ages SO WELL. GGXrd is a freaking PS3 game and it STILL looks incredible.
They actually ported Guilty Gear characters into Ultimate? I didn't know that.
Yeah, right now they’re simple model swaps but there are at least 5 or 6 GG characters in the game. One of them has a proper shader and looks great (Bridget) and the others have no shader and look a bit flat. Someone is also making a complete custom moveset for Potemkin that looks really impressive so far but still seems to be in its early stages. I haven’t really learned how to use modded movesets yet but that one is really tempting.

Here's a roster for a redone 64 and Melee I did. I might come up with a roster for the latter games eventually.
We got some new official Renders of Rayman after the trailer, can't remember if they've been shared here but:
Oh yeah that would be great too. Honestly would love any of these options, though the YEAH! victory will always be my number 1 haha
Man, that looks awesome!Yeah, right now they’re simple model swaps but there are at least 5 or 6 GG characters in the game.

Good news is that Ryu Hyabusa is ported over both Sheik and Cloud. Maybe some of your other favorites are already in or will be soon.
They absolutely should’ve done for Ultimate what they did for Sm4sh; a piece of artwork for every newcomer. In Ultimate, only a few characters have this kind of artwork.I doubt they'll significantly change the art style in the near future, the ultimate one is a very good halfway point between realistic and cartoony, and fits every character in the game really well. What I would personally love is promo art from famous video game artists. I know Nomura did some already:
Along with some other artists, but there are loads I'd love to see smash art from. Including:
Ayami Kojima:
Kazuma Kaneko (Who recently returned after being missing for 6 years to do... NFTs... At least he implied he's going to work on games again.)
(This is some of my favourite art of his that wouldn't just immediately get me banned for being NSFW)
Shigenori Soejima:
For example, it would be amazing to have them work together on the box-art, making that a crossover in its own right. (That would probably be a nightmare, especially to make it look cohesive, but still).
I've just remembered Soejima actually did some for Ultimate, but it was just Joker on his own. I know Min Min and maybe inkling also got them? Either way, I 100% agree, every time some did show up I was super happy.
Reading this reminded me of this masterpiece:
Bomberman, Sukapon, Isaac, Shadow, Skull Kid, Black Knight, Akira and Waluigi
PERFECTION.
That's Clayfighter 63 1/3, you ignorant FOOL!
Not choosing Taffy is a cardinal sin.
Hey, we got a Plumbers Don't Wear Ties rerelease. Anything's possible.
To be honest, I don’t really even play ArcSys’ games but I just love their visual style. My favorite fighting game franchise after Smash is Killer Instinct. I also really like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Soul Calibur although I haven’t really been super into SF or MK since the SNES. My top three most wanted fighting game reps are Fulgore, Sub-Zero, and Guile although I’d be hyped for Nightmare or Astaroth from Soul Calibur too. Sol Badguy would be fun but he’s below the others mentioned.
Project L looks just as good as Guilty Gear in my opinion. The Guilty Gear models don’t seem to be particularly high poly and run fine without slowdown when ported into Ultimate. I think what really makes them look impressive is the shader they use rather than the models themselves. The Bridget port seems to have a similar shader to the GG games and still runs fine.

Man, that would have been so cool, imagine the Sora one looking like a Kingdom hearts cover art but Mario characters instead of the Mickey mouse gang.
I didn't mean to say that Project L looks worse, just that it looks different (and less expensive to make).
Watch this video on 2x speed. TL;DR Guilty Gear Xrd is a technical marvel.

I couldn't disagree more. GGs look, for me atleast, is defined by it's intricate animation and the way the character models are made. It's art style is completely distinct from any other game that also uses cel shading.
I worded it poorly, but by "resource intensive" I was talking about development resources. I forgot that phrase is used to describe like computation power or whatever, so my mistake.
No worries. I was just talking about the graphics themselves and wasn’t really taking animation into account. I agree that the games have some really impressive animation as well but I feel it could be simplified if they needed to in order for one of their fighters to appear in Smash. As far as adopting a similar style in Smash itself, I think it would still look great keeping Ultimate’s animation style and just updating the models and shaders.I didn't mean to say that Project L looks worse, just that it looks different (and less expensive to make).

This image is so ****ing funny
I gotta admit, that SMTV Level Up theme is very catchy. I tend to listen to that quite often myself.
