Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - May 22nd

YES, that was the one thing I didn't like about team battles previously, you were forced to stick with blue, green or blue colors, honestly it also made team battles boring to watch for me because you're looking at the same two or three colors everytime.

 

[Gryffin]

Looking at Samus, I suppose that my interpretation was wrong. Unless I'm mistaking something.

 

[Wasp]

Pun-time!
I've put these all in line so far:

* So yeah, now every character is part of the new line-up...
* It will be a hard line to follow
* There are so many features already, where do they draw the line?
* There's also an offline mode
* These outlines redefined the word punchline...
* Let's hope the finish the game before the deadline

But enough of the puns now... this PotD raises more questions and we all want to know the bottom lines now

 

[infomon]

This is great. And he's previously said that the outlines can be turned off anyway (maybe that's not true for team battles, who knows).

 

[drsusredfish]

you know how in tournaments players can play on any level even the jank levels as long as everyone agrees on it, that's how I imagine team color picking is going to be done.

As long as the players agree on it any colors can be used even if every one is wearing all black as long as they agree on it.

I think even the smash 64 rule set had character pallet restrictions on certain levels so yeah character color pallet rules won't be a new thing.

 

[OgiEthan]

This is so awesome :D

 

[Zorc Of Norway]

This is a bad change as in ditto match up with the right alternate color pick it might become difficult to see who who quickly.

Still cool though.

You still won't be able to play as the same colour in dittos, so i don't think that will be a problem. And if you're concerned about some alts looking too much alike you can just change your own colour.

 

[QuickLava]

I'm actually interested to see if the Wii U will have a similar kind of outline, because as we've seen so far, it doesn't use outlines to distinguish characters.

 

[Uffe]

This means we won't have to deal with having to play a light-shaded, white-glowing version of our character like in Brawl when there weren't two different red colors, blue colors, or green colors.

If this means that's gone I'm all for it.

I had recently played Smash with my nephew and he didn't like the foggy or darkened versions, either. I'm not fond of them as well. I'm not sure why people are mentioning dittos as being a problem since you can't choose the same color if it's already been taken.

 

[Fig Newton]

I really love the new change for team battles. I for one wasn't against only sticking with Red, Blue, and Green whenever I would have to participate in a team battle, but I did wanted more variety from the teams. I'm still hoping there could be a Dark team as almost every character has a dark color palette in previous titles. That said, if Red, Blue, and Green teams are the online outlines that I'll see, I'll be fine with that since I will ultimately have the choice of the color for my character. :D

 

[RelaxAlax]

Hopefully THAT is a hint at this -

'I'm just gonna post some of the points stated that got me even more hyped by this small but important change; ya know, ignoring all the negative comments of, "change is bad, mmmkay"

-Could there be more colors available for teams? Easier than ever now, with just an outline, as it is just an aesthetic thing.
-Sakurai seems to be really paying attention to competitive players this go round.
-What will the Wii U version do?
-Maybe we can customize our own color schemes entirely!
-Can switch up the colors seen; story battles, verisimilitude in character interpretation, everyone can be how they look.
-Delightful added challenge if you want to confuse players about who is whom by choosing the same colors.
-No more faded and darker color schemes, the actually confusing look. Phew.

-E3 is in less than three weeks!!

 

[Substitution]

Yeah, I'm curious about how this is handled on WiiU

If anything, it might be a glowing aura around the character or something along those lines.

 

[Overtaken]

Dude, it's the mario bros versus zelda and metroid!

 

[pupNapoleon]

If anything, it might be a glowing aura around the character or something along those lines.

That would be final smash confusing;

on that note, are they confirmed for 3DS? Maybe they are different FS's

 

[Substitution]

That would be final smash confusing;

Not exactly. You still have the dimmed light (not to mention the memory of hitting said Smash Ball).
Heck, he could make it to where in the aura, the team color is more prominent.

 

[KenboCalrissian]

Very interesting update, considering we just saw gREDninja yesterday. It seemed obvious that would be his red-team palatte.

This is the first update I find truly questionable. A particularly trolly duo could assign themselves to be on Red team, but both pick Blue costumes, just to try and mess with their opponents in some backhanded metagame.

 

[LoneWolfRanger]

line m up!

[Jerodak]

This seems like it may be really good for players that are color blind, which was actually a problem previously in team matches with characters like pokemon trainer and sonic where there's actually an official tournament rule that allows color blind players request different colors. Since the outline can be "any color" and because there's a huge icon over everyone's head, it seems like this will be great.

 

[Malion]

I don't understand why people think we'll be able to pick the same colours on the same teams. If anthing it will be exactly like free for all where if a colour is being squatted on or picked you can't pick or look at it. Regardless of team. Like my opponent picked red mario for his green team now when i go to click mario for my red team he is blue by default but i have the change him etc.

That's how this has worked before anyway.

 

[TopTierPichu]

I hope that those coloured outlines are optional, as I hate them personally.

but that is how you are able to tell what team, if you disable colors you could mistake a blue alt as some one on blue team and they would actually be on a red team

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Awesome! Now we don't have to have awkward colors for Sonic and Kirby during team battles

 

[yahooda]

What happens if one of the players are playing with the outlines turned off? Do they just need to use the colored P1/P2 icons to tell what team the player is on?

 

[Aguki90]

This is a good change! The only think came to my mind is the competive scene gonna be with varius colors. keep this focus well.

 

[SSBM_HypnoToad]

Now the Mario Bros can play on the same team with their real colors!

 

[Dr. James Rustles]

I feel this is a 3DS only feature as outlines play a larger part in the gameplay. However, you would think that Sakurai would mention that if he felt it was important so it is possible that it will be in both versions. Hopefully this can be toggled off and on.

Just check out yesterday's PoTD.

Edit: Nvm.

 

[TheFadedWarrior]

Heck yeah. I always hated not having the costume I want.

 

[Sqa$]

I like this update personally. Like some others have said, some costumes just look bad. With this, we can avoid those bad palette swaps and look sexy all the time.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Really hope there's an option where we can pick the colors instead of being just the outlines

 

[CardiganBoy]

I can dig this, i'm ok with this.


Also, it's me or Samus is shorter in this?, compared to Link, of course.

 

[SchAlternate]

Small changes like these actually go a really long way to convincing me that Nintendo are really trying to cater to the competitive community.

inb4 L-Cancelling is confirmed.

 

[Yonder]

Hopefully THAT is a hint at this -

Is that am actual picture or just made up? Cause that would be a REALLY cool stage.

Also, like the update. Bar some majorly bad decision if Sakurai makes one, I have no doubt this will be the best Smash yet.

 

[PB&J]

this is dumb imo

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

this is dumb imo

Why? If you still want the team colors just make them red.

 

[Cancel]

Yeah, I'm curious about how this is handled on WiiU

Probably the same way but the outline will look more better.

 

[Will]

They are

Do you mind showing where?

I reread it,but whe-w-where does it say that in there?

 

[grizby2]

FINALLY.

and for those arguing about being the same color, there is a big noticeable 1P 2P 3P 4P hovering right above your head.

 

[RelaxAlax]

Is that am actual picture or just made up? Cause that would be a REALLY cool stage.

Also, like the update. Bar some majorly bad decision if Sakurai makes one, I have no doubt this will be the best Smash yet.

No i just made it awhile ago lol

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

YES! Now we can play as Lucario with yellow outline for TRUE Super Saiyan Action.

Thank you.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

YES! Now we can play as Lucario with yellow outline for TRUE Super Saiyan Action.

It won't be true until Lucario also gets yellow fur to go with it.
