Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - March 25th

[Smashboards]

Smash Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day. Here's a comparison of characters with and without their outlines on the 3DS version. They also give off a different impression in 3D, so customize the look however you like."

 

[Meis]

No outlines -> Ergo, Mario & Link Assist Trophies confirmed!

 

[Malion]

Customise eh?
Maybe we'll get to pick the outline colour.

 

[SpiderMad]

Yay for customization

 

[Domo-dono]

Still so hard to tell which is better....

 

[Nikes]

"Does this outline make me look fat?"

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

I always love seeing the HUD displays and player tags. They make it feel like this game is really upon us.

 

[aspirin cookie]

Happy things make me happy .

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

How is this going to work online? Will each player be able to have different outlines?

 

[Ephecus]

They also give off a different impression in 3D

Super Lag Bros confirmed

 

[JediLink]

How is this going to work online? Will each player be able to have different outlines?

My assumption would be that each player sees their own settings on everyone else. That's usually how they do this sort of thing.

 

[Myougi]

I hope we can get rainbow outlines for Kirby.
(Doesn't anyone remember Kirby Canvas Curse?)

 

[Fansmash]

I like it this picture.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

I hope we can get rainbow outlines for Kirby.
(Doesn't anyone remember Kirby Canvas Curse?)

I second that notion.

 

[ObsidianSkin]

Pretty neat feature. Not sure if I'm digging it or not, though... Like Domo-dono said, it's pretty hard to tell which is better (at least for us).

 

[Tollhouse]

He already mentioned this outline customization in the nintendo direct video. So nothing new today really.

 

[Radical Larry]

Personally, I prefer the left image, and prefer no outlines. I actually think it would make it easier to see the characters without it than with.

Also, anyone notice that due to the lighting, Link's color looks similar to his Wii U version? Battlefield's evening time surely does change Link's color; I wonder if it affects other characters, too.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

I have perfect near-vision.
Left.

 

[Sharic X]

Mario: So Link, how's it going?
Link: Oh nothing...just staring into space.
Mario: Cool. Me too.

OUTLINE DIMENSION SHIFT!

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

That's pretty interesting! Now I don't have to worry about Characters looking like paper cutouts!

 

[TheQuasiZillionaire]

Lol, you guys are all just saying that the no-outlines one looks better out of principle. The outlines do make a visual difference, because the player model colors can be differentiated from the background easier. You can still see the characters, obviously, but the details around the edges kind of fade into the backdrop on the 3DS's relatively low resolution (compared to a WiiU).

Yeah, but I do not want the characters looking like paper cutouts!

I like the outlines. I can look like

GRAPHIC NOVEL CHARACTERS

GRAPHIC NOVEL CHARACTERS

Well since you've put it that way I guess I won't mind

 

[Wasp]

both options have their benefits...
No outlines looks nices and more natural and i believe it would be best suitable for the 3DS XL.
With outlines ON, i'd say it works better for the smaller screen 3DS which most people probably have... It would be better to see the characters...

But how come people here talk about different colours of outlines and rainbow patterns n stuff? It was confirmed weeks/months ago outlines would be optional, but not costumisable... only the borderthickness... not the colors and patterns...

 

[Bamboo]

From a blind dude perspective like myself who cant see things far away or near to me without glasses, the left is cool if i got the 3ds super close to my face and the outlines are great if your playing with the screen farther away from my face.

Vision problems

 

[Eskelsen]

Even though we already new this, its still cool we get to see some side by side comparisons.

 

[Uffe]

I never play my games in 3D. I think I'll stick with the thick lines, though. I can only imagine playing on a small screen is going to be something like playing on New Pork CIty in SSBB, which is kind of the reason I won't be taking the 3DS version as seriously on a competitive level as I will with the WiiU version.

 

[DaDavid]

I think there must've been some sort of translation problem with the "customize" bit, but either way, nice to see a side by side comparison. Wonder what the screen shot looks like pulled up on my 3DS...

 

[Sonicguy726]

I prefer to have the outlines and since the 3DS screen is so small it'll be easier to see

 

[Tepig2000]

Outlines>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>no outlines.

 

[MelchizedekVD]

I think that the customization is a cool new unique part of the game. I dig the outlines, for some reason it just fits and defines them on the DS screen.

On another subject, does anyone suppose there will be same connection to streetpass? It would be really cool to connect and fight nearby opponents in some way.

 

[DaDavid]

I'm sure streetpass will be integrated in some way, but who knows what they'll do with it.

 

[JbrockPony]

Use to be that guy that complained about outlines.... Now seeing the comparison I think outlines would be better off staying there >_>.

 

[Dr. James Rustles]

Outlines>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>no outlines.

Cross your eyes while looking at this image.

 

[ITALIAN N1NJA]

I won't be getting the 3DS version as I don't own a 3DS myself. I'll be getting the Wii U version though. My friends, Here's to hoping that the online is robust. No lag, player and ranked matches separate, smash player card customizable kind of like Brawl, Leaderboards for matches as well as target smash and modes, being able to play co OP modes online with people, maybe even voice chat, and a King of the hill mode where 6 people spectate and 2 people fight and the loser swaps out while the winner stays. A man can dream can't he?

 

[Delzethin]

I see why they're going for a cel-shaded look on the characters for the 3DS game. It really does make the characters stand out more, and make them easier to keep track of. But now we have confirmation that anyone who dislikes the outlines can turn them off, which is a nice option.

...And it raises a few more questions about those Palutena screenshots that made the rounds back around the holidays...

Didn't they already say you could turn them off

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Yes, but Sakurai just now proves it
