problem fixed, in the fall conference vid, twice it showed lucas and meta-knight go over it, and then it turned invisible.

yes this is relatively well-known at this point I believe.

But the melee icons were rather small last time around so they weren't too problematic in my opinion.

Its too bad the big numbers don't go transparent too. So the end result is no better than Melee, where the character origin backdrop icon was already transparent the whole time but the numbers weren't. Brawl has much bigger and more obtrusive character icons that are not transparent except when something is behind them, yet the numbers still do not. Not really an improvement overall.

Hopefully there's an option to shrink the HUD elements down to a smaller size or at the very least make the numbers also go transparent when someone is behind them. Otherwise we'll have just as much trouble seeing what's going on when the camera is badly placed as we do now in Melee.

It's really not that big of a deal if you're actually fighting and not just standing there. I can't remember even one time in the 6-7 years I've been playing Melee when the numbers became an inconvenience.

I don't think that the numbers not disappearing will be a problem. From what I've seen, the camera doesn't seem to be nearly as ******** as in Melee.

______ It's a good sign they are making small changes like that IMO, shows they really care about the game, at least a little. I doubt translucent signs will make a difference whether someone buys the game or not, yet they still spent a little time on it.

Sad how so many people complained about that in the "Hate So Far" thread when people clearly said don't judge the game when knowing so little about it.

the percentage not disappearing is a good thing, this way u'll have no problem looking at ur opponents stat n deciding whether its time to destroy them or not

I didn't notice this. I like the new character icons, they look pretty cool. The Melee ones did get in the way sometimes. Glade to see they're figuring out ways to remedy that.
