Yeah, makes sense. Redesigning something is always a difficult task. On one hand, you wanna add something of your own or make something more modern, on the other hand, you still want to keep it recognizable. I have some experience with it as well, so I can relate to that. And some retro characters sure would benefit from that, like the already mentioned Pit. I suppose my biggest problem with the thigh-highs is the color, which is just a personal preference. Outta curiousity I gave them a pinkish hue,
what do you think? I'm by no means an artist, so it's a pretty sloppy job.
Ugh, don't remind me of Ness, seriously, what were they thinking? Let's make a game that is the most colorful smash since 64... and get rid of the color in Ness' eyes and the blush on his cheeks. Why? It's not like an artist needs hours to add such simple details to a texture.
Hehe, well, I can't compare your Lip pic with Rosa as I haven't seen that one.
