Here's one - what is your favorite render pose for each character?
I tend to like active poses, but I love the amiibo and I'd prefer no support rod, so my favorites are usually ones that are active but still have both feet on the ground. For each character...
: Ultimate P1. Her Sm4sh art is a bit lifeless, and she looks so sassy with that wink.
: Ulitmate. He's gotten more and more menacing each game, and I think Ultimate is his best.
: Sm4sh Larry. Roy's my favorite koopaling, but I love how Larry looks in his clown car.
: Ultimate. His Brawl is good but sedate, and his Sm4sh look is ridiculous. I do like the running from Melee, but I feel Ultimate shows him off better.
: Ultimate P2: Both of his art in Sm4sh are bland, but his P2 in Ultimate is really dynamic.
: Sm4sh P2: Both of the Ultimate ones look off - the male is too bland and the female is awkwardly posed, but both Sm4sh ones look good. I feel the pose on the female is a bit better though.
: Sm4sh. With as much as he walks on his hands, this is the only one where he's got a hand on the ground. He looks much more fun here.
: Ultimate. He's got so much more personality in his Ultimate render than in any of his others combined. Plus his Sm4sh is weirdly floating.
: Sm4sh. It's tough to make him look both active and like a doctor, but I feel Sm4sh has the best balance with him holding the megavitamin.
: Sm4sh. I did like them grounded better than in the middle of using the uspecial, especially since the new one just has the dog's butt in the air.
: Brawl. While it's not that active of a pose, it really does fit Falco's personality. It's also the only one he's looking at the camera.
: Brawl. His Melee one is good, but I do like him looking at the camera better.
: Ultimate. Again, I love the Melee one, but I think the Ultimate shows him at his most evil. Still prefer the Twilight Princess (or better, Hyrule Warriors) look though.
: Sm4sh. I'm used to the Sugimori art, and this is it. I don't like things being too floaty.
: Ultimate. The pose from the Sm4sh trophy looks great, but in terms of a render, this is my favorite pose of theirs.
: Sm4sh. I usually prefer more dynamic poses, but the strength he exudes here is really cool. Plus, swole Ike is best Ike.
: Ultimate. There's not much that can be done with her, but I didn't like the Sm4sh one on pointe, and the Melee/Brawl are boring. She does look cute sitting here though.
: Ultimate. His pose in Sm4sh and Ultimate are really similar, but he looks more at ease in Ultimate.
: Melee. Sitting in Sm4sh was weird for me, and I usually prefer character not to float, so Melee it is. Still, his Brawl/Ultimate renders are really happy too.
: Melee. Brawl's was good but static, and the other two are a bit too dynamic. His Melee trophy was the best though. Still prefer the Twilight Princess look though.
: Ultimate. Both his arts are good, but I like him facing forward best.
: Sm4sh. Brawl is lacking personality and I don't like the balancing act in Ultimate. His 3DS alternate trophy has the best pose though.
: Ultimate. I don't need the rope snake, but Lucas is showing a lot of personality in this render. I prefer him a bit more cowardly, so his Sm4sh is jarring.
: Brawl. It's the only one he's not doing something ridiculous. Worst place is his Sm4sh though.
: Brawl. Melee's is really good, but Sm4sh's looks a little too angry for me. I'm not a fan of the floating in Ultimate though.
: Sm4sh. His Ultimate is good, but he looks a bit too caught-in-a-windstorm here. Brawl and Melee were really static though.
: Ultimate. I know that her Sm4sh art is based on her concept, but she handles the wind better than Marth does.
: Ultimate. They're both great though.
: Ultimate. I like the cape better than the wings, and his Brawl art is pretty static.
: Sm4sh. I like the attacking in the Sm4sh and Melee arts - they're basically the same. Still, this is an exception to my no floating rule, since his Brawl trophy is incredible.
: Sm4sh Sword. It's basically Ike's new render, and it's still a good one. I forgot how bland their designs were in Sm4sh though, they got a serious glow up.
: Ultimate. There aren't many differences here.
: Ultimate, but his Sm4sh is great too.
: Ultimate. I love him pulling a Pikmin out.
: Sm4sh. The walking render is a bit weird for me, while the thumbs up pose is classic.
: Ultimate. She's one of the few characters who ended up with a really bland Sm4sh render, but her Ultimate is better. Again, I'd have been okay with her floating if she had her Brawl style - she is a goddess...
: Ultimate. Hers have gotten better and better each game. I love the new one - probably my favorite in the game.
: Melee. His are all balancing, but I think his best pose was the Sm4sh trophy.
: Sm4sh. His Ultimate is good, but I do usually prefer having both feet on the ground. Brawl was boring though.
: Sm4sh. I do prefer him with the bow together, and having wings like that makes me a bit more okay with him floating. Pity his amiibo used blue plastic for a stand.
: Ultimate. His Sm4sh art is a bit bland.
: Ultimate 1P. He was pretty sedate in Brawl, but really looks good here. Squirtle and Ivysaur's Ultimate art is really cute, but I'd prefer him on the ground, but Charizard's looks fine floating.
: Sm4sh. What is he even doing in his Ultimate pose?
Ultimate 1P. Both of the Sm4sh arts are bland so they're severely upstages by the Ultimate's, but I prefer the sword-raised pose.
: Ultimate. She looks much better looking out.
: Ultimate. His Sm4sh/Melee are basically the same, and I like the action in the new one.
: Ultimate, but both of his are great.
: Brawl. I don't know what balancing beam routine she's got for her Sm4sh art, but I like the attacking pose in Brawl.
: Brawl. I do like the new one, but her Sm4sh art is bizarre. Props for having the only upside-down art in Melee though.
: Ultimate. The pose on his Sm4sh art is awkward.
: Ultimate. His Brawl is okay, but his Ultimate is a lot more dynamic.
: Brawl. It's such a great classic pose. This new one is probably his worst - what is he even doing?
: Brawl. I do like that he's got the Wind Waker out for this one - it sets him apart from the other two Links.
: Sm4sh, but the ultimate one isn't bad.
: Brawl 1P. Both of his Brawl versions look good, but I also like his Ultimate render. I do prefer the overalls look though.
: Sm4sh. I like the yoga pose better than just a random stretch here; it makes her look more elegant.
: Brawl, but the two arts are very similar and they're both good.
: Sm4sh, but each has things I like and things I don't. I do prefer Yoshi with his mouth open, but seeing his individual fingers in Ultimate looks weird. Maybe I'm used to Yarn Yoshi here...
: Ultimate, but both of his look good.
: Melee. I prefer the colder, more regal Zelda, even though that pose is pretty sedate. And I definitely prefer her Twilight Princess gown.
: Sm4sh, but I really can't say I'm a huge fan of any of hers. Her new pose is a bit ridiculous.
