This. In my case however, I'm an awfully-slow learner, so I can relate. I feel like the only idiot "artist" who's at fault for not knowing how to draw realistically at this point. Being terrible at math also contributes to my incompetence because a lot of art is strictly precise and flawless utilization of depths and proportions.

Dude, you're not the only one who can't draw realistically. My drawings range from cartoony to outrageously cartoony.

 

[Idon]

If only... People falling out of Fsmash is the worst thing, and I hope it's fixed.

I've had a guy drop out of it twice in a row, fully charged.
That was the day I dropped Shulk.

 

[Impa4Smash]

So, on a scale of 1 to 10, how likely do you think Lloyd Irving from Tales of is?

6? I dunno. Seems likely that either him or Heihachi will get in for a Namco-Bandai rep.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

50/50. There's no telling what Namco would want to do for their second rep (if there is one).

I can't draw and lack the desire and motivation to get good at it but honestly, style over substance any day! So what if you can't draw realistically? Find a way that fits you well!

Style over substance is how I live my life.

 

[Diem]

That's literally all there is to it though!
I know it's cliche, but just a year ago I sucked. Hard. And now I suck moderately less!
Practice actually does make perfect

I've been a writer since I was 10 or 11. I wasn't actually a good writer until I was 19 or 20. Granted, I didn't receive anyone else's feedback during that time and was mostly self-taught, but it had a lot to do with just practice, reflection, and maturing.

I've dabbled in visual art, too, and improved a little bit over the years, but haven't put in nearly as much time or practice, so I'm still very amateur.

Man, I envy you. I wish could draw even half as good as you. I'd make a Pokemon Mystery Dugneon comic, and Infamous comic, and a Max Payne inspired comic.

Literally who

Protagonist of Tales of Symphonoia. Tales in general is a pretty sucessful and popular action JRPG series.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

If it normal to feel unbelievable annoyed with humans?

 

[StellerRJay]

Friends! What I'm about to show you may shock you beyond all comprehension!~
Prepare yourself for what you're about to witness with your very own eyes...

Spoiler: Behold! òvó

What's this!? Cloud showing actual emotion!? Does he look, dare I even say...happy!? I wonder how this came to be! Clearly that wonderful courageous feathery companion he's riding on holds all the answers. Not even Final Fantasy's most serious protagonists can resist the pure joy a chocobo brings to one's soul! The two make for quite the perfect heroic pair!

Now it's clear who must join Cloud by his side in Smash Bros. It's time for Chocobo to bring Cloud's smile back~

Cloud isn't really that serious though he's a ****in bumpkin

 

[Iridium]

You know, I think you should check out Paradigm & Erico on Twitter. They have pretty good info on Shulk and retweet some good clips that demonstrate techniques and such (i.e. MALLC is back). I'd think you're familiar with them...

 

[Deleted member]

You sure? Ever since Dissida, he's been a pretty serious sam.

 

[Gentlepanda]

Don't tell that to Square, though. They'll be trying to push his edgy, angsty side until the end of time.

I genuinely suck at drawing traditionally as I don't have a steady hand at all. 3D modeling is the only artistic medium that really clicked for me. Of course like anything, it takes a lot practice and patience but it certainly pays off in the end.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Ah yes, you're right. Keep adding more until we get Lyn.

Yeah, exactly! :D

 

[Luigi The President]

I mean...I've learned enough about 7 to be sure about that

Saddens me. I was under the impression he WAS just edgy and angsty until I did my research.

I am familiar with them, but I just don't care enough to learn all the gimmicky Shulk nonsense.

Only if we get a Miss Cloud costume with Takahiro Sakurai pulling a Jason Spisak tier vocal range for a more feminine voice

For those who don't know, Jason Spisak voiced Bartz in Final Fantasy Dissidia, his gimmick was that he could mimic other characters, and Spisak was able to mimic their goddamn voices too

 

[Jomosensual]

December 7th feels so close but still so far away

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

Cloud isn't really that serious though he's a ****in bumpkin

Yeah, the emo characterization didn't really come about until later, especially with Advent Children, which I believe actually had story reasons for him being so dispassionate. But then it got carried over to everything else, and now it seems to be accepted canon.

 

[Iridium]

Okay, well, I'm certain they fixed his hitboxes for the most part like you hoped, although I hear b-air doesn't hit from behind anymore...

Also hoping Yoshi looks as good as aMSa makes him look in Melee when tournaments begin, because Zinith pretty much convinced me to secondary the guy.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

oh lol wrong thread. But since I have nothing to talk about, what topic is going on now?

 

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

Yoshi can be quite fun so Zin steered you in the right direction.

whos ready for politics to ruin thankgiving and make the food taste like ****?

Huh? How will it ruin Thanksgiving?

 

[Deleted member]

Bair does not hit in front anymore. It still hits behind. The overall duration may be shorter though (Nairo claims the late hit has been removed, but bair never had a late hit), and it's parallel to the ground instead of being angled slightly up. It also has less landing lag.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

ignore that, that was in the wrong thread pfff

 

[Deleted member]

Oh okay. Here I was thinking "Oh Lord not again."

I see I worded that wrong. That's what I meant, actually. Doesn't hurt the move that much anyway.

Yeah, I lose out on a few dumb things, but overall, bair has been buffed handsomely.

 

[Idon]

I just want Ike's Fsmash to not SUCK.

 

[Deleted member]

I want Samus to be good . My girl doesn't deserve this.

 

[Iridium]

Well, he convinced me about this probably a month ago or so, but I got reminded. I'm even playing him right now...

Anyway, I was planning to start a doubles tourney in addition to singles so I can go double Yoshi with him.

 

[Pyra]

I just want Ike's Fsmash to not SUCK.

Ike's Fsmash has been replaced with the Poltergust

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Oh okay. Here I was thinking "Oh Lord not again."

I mix the two thread up a lot lol. But on topic, dont really have much to talk about smash wise since I dont plan on buying it and Katamari takes that spot

 

[Idon]

Ike's Fsmash has been replaced with the Poltergust

Oy, puns.

 

[Noipoi]

I just got payed, lads! My paychecks are inconsistent, and I thought I might not have enough money in time for Smash. But now I don't have to worry!

IT'S SMASH TIME LADS!

 

[Kotor]

That can't be a real word.
How have I gone through FE without seeing this?

Drawing cartoons/anime isn't a problem. Knowing realism and life art actually helps with the former, since breaking the rules requires learning the rules first. A lot of talented illustrators (and literally all of my artist pals) can draw realistically, but choose to draw under a certain style because they know exactly how to bend and warp anatomy in a way that still works. Just look up early Kirby concept art to see what I mean. Even weird and quirky styles have a method to their madness, since they follow a consistent formula.

I probably should learn to draw realistically, but it's so hard!
