: 4/10: They look like two separate persons with separate focus, which is the opposite of their character. : 6/10: Not bad, but Nana and Popo are each looking at different things, which is also odd.: 10/10: Perfection. They're each focusing on the same thing, like two units working in tandem.
: 6/10 - Just a basic, pretty uninteresting pose.: 7/10 - This a better pose, but their facial expressions just seem dead to me, and it kind of hampers the mood here.: 9/10 - I love these far more dynamic poses! Both of the Climbers are doing something different, but they're still together.
- 7/10 - Nothing wrong with them here, pretty solid for a melee render which have been pretty awful in some spots. Nana waving adds some charm. - 8/10 - It's also a solid render overall, better dynamic and details on them for sure. I'm not sure I'd want to be under their spiked shoes though, so I worry for Popo's safety as Nana is looking like she is about to run up his back. - 9.5/10 - Solid details on them, didn't notice the snow till it was pointed out. I like the direction they went here with making both of them dynamic and holding a solid action pose that looks good together but could also work alone. > > 
Don't forget Lucas

: 4/10: Eh, looks weird.: 5/10: Still looks weird.: 8/10: Based on OOT reveal render, nice!: 10/10: Like an actual ninja.
Come to think of it, I don't think we ever did Dank Samus either.
: 7/10 - This is a very dynamic, and frankly, cool pose, though it definitely seems awkward at the same time. I like its uniqueness.: 8/10 - Despite being arguably more generic, I really prefer this pose; there's some classic ninja style in this one that really sells it.: 5/10 - Ehh. What exactly is Sheik doing here? It's not really threatening or interesting, it just seems oddly silly.: - 10/10 - The best one by far. I really like the motion in the scarf here, and the pose feels like a great evolution of Brawl's.Eh, save them for Ultimate.

- 6/10 - Makes me think of break dancing. A bit odd overall but not bad. - 5/10 - Looks like she jumped back from a scary bug. - 5/10 - Equally boring as the prior. - 9/10 - A lot more dynamic and interesting to look at. I feel a few needles ready to be thrown would of sold me 100% on this one.
Daisy and Dark don't really have prior renders to compare. As I mentioned in the OP, characters introduced in Ultimate won't really be compared as they have no previous renders to compare to.

, but it says a lot about her personality without needing to be over the top. She's regal, she's elegant, but she's also a bit passive and controlled. I also love her stepping forward, as it gives an air of intent and action, if only slightly, unlike her Brawl and Melee renders that are much more passive than I think they should be. All in all, Smash 4 render wins.

: 4/10: She's like, "Nah, I really don't wanna do this.": 6/10: Cute.: 9/10: I like this one a lot better than Brawl, probably because there's no Sheik in the background.: 10/10: Perfection.
: 10/10: 5/10: 9/10: 7/10
: 6/10 - I like this pose's plaintive portrayal of Zelda, as it's not a trait depicted in her following renders. That said, it's still fairly boring.: 5/10 - Brawl's render is comparatively more bland to me. Her pose is slightly more dynamic, but it still feels like nothing. There's no direction here.: 8/10 - This is what Brawl's render should have been. It keeps the same mood, but gives Zelda a more interesting pose. Admittedly, I'm not sure what this pose is intended to reflect about Zelda, but I don't particularly care.: 9/10 - This render is another improvement. In addition to a brighter appearance, Zelda now sports a lot more flowing garments, and this render aims to demonstrate this; it succeeds. The many little elements seemingly flowing in the wind makes this render quite impressive to look at.
- 4.5/10 - She looks stuck up and more stereotypical Princess here. - 7.5/10 - I actually kind of like this one and also appreciated the darker hair on her. - 6/10 - Not digging her pose, I find it actually more bland than Brawl's. - 8.5/10 - She's cute and pretty with flow... but still doesn't make me think of some magical mage. Her face is also lacking emotion.
5/10 : Eh this is very middle of the road. But that's what you would expect from Zelda at the time. Very reserved. 4/10 : This is better in some respects, the pose is certainly more dynamic, but some tiny parts of it make it worse for me. I don't really see "action" in her movement I see "evasion" like she's trying to get out of the way of something and the look on her face seems more sinister rather than confident; like, evil or something. An evil look with an "evasive" movement makes her look sneaky and devious. Not at all what Zelda is really like. Brawl's style does her no favors. 9/10 : Now this render succeeds where Bawl failed. The look in her eyes is unmistakable as one of confidence rather than ferocity. It suits Zelda's reserved adult demeanor. Her hand being outstretched is a clear move of action to confront her attackers. More dynamic, more beautiful, more confident, more actionable. A superior choice. 9.5/10 : This is actually harder to judge in this same line-up purely because of how different this Zelda is. Whereas the previous ones are all from "Darker-toned" Zelda games (OoT, TP, etc.), this Zelda is from the lighter side of the Zelda series (Minish cap, WW, LbtW, Spirit Tracks). In these games, Zelda is more of a light-hearted young lady with a pure nature and a sense of responsibility. She takes a more active role in these stories as a close friend to Link in the fight. The "Reserved Adult Regality" nature of the other Zeldas in this line-up don't really apply. She's no child here, but this also isn't the Zelda that currently bears the full weight of ruling all of Hyrule.

In fact, I've seen people say this is the worst one, but I couldn't disagree more. 
8/103/106.5/10
: 4/10: Doc....doc, is everythin--DOC!!!: 2/10: He looks like he's about to prescribe to you a drug that will ruin your life and he's going to enjoy your pain. : 10/10: Makes me laugh.
: 8/10 css: 10/10: 4/10: 6/10
: 8/10 - This pose is pretty great. I like how Dr. Mario looks so excited to be delivering this megavitamin. It's full of energy.: 6/10 - Uh, why he is trying to look so menacing? It doesn't really work. The pose is good, but it just feels strange to have this scowl on Mario's face.: 9/10 - The best one, but just because the pose is perfect. He looks contemplative and as though he's examining something for a patient. Since he's a doctor, this suits him quite well.
- 8/10 - I like how happy he is about his job here. He's going to give you that pill with a smile. - 6/10 - Now he's going to shove that pill down your throat. - 8/10 - And lastly he is debating on whether or not shoving that pill down your throat was the best approach.
8/10 because while it's a little dated today, he looks like he's pumped to join the fight. 5/10 Looks more mad probably because he didn't make it into Brawl. Seriously, we already have to deal with 1 unhappy Mario. 10/10 he nails the look and pose of what you'd imagine a doctor would be like. He's not serious and looks more joyful this time around. Almost makes you forget the fact that he's gonna fair you to oblivion or stomp you to an endless void.

: 6/10: OK I guess: 10/10: So cute!
- 9/10 css - 7/10 - 10/10
: 7/10 - This one is decent enough. Personally, I find Pichu's dead-looking stare here to be off-putting, but at least the pose itself is fine.: 8/10 - This pose is not necessarily more dynamic than his other one, but it's much more appealing. There's just something inherently satisfying and cute about this pose that I cannot describe.
