Stock Icons.

[Deagle]

I did a search for a thread similar to this, and if this is a double, I apologise dearly.

On to my point, is anyone else as dissapointed as me that the stock icons seem to have been replaced by dots? Stock matches were the only type of VS. match i would play and I've grown deeply attached to those icons. I don't know why but I remember seeing a screenshot with character Icons for stock, but from the updates we've seen it looks like it's been taken out.

What are your thoughts?

i could care less, its not like it changes gameplay

I'm so used to having them and I don't see any good reasons for them to be taken out. It's just a nicer touch to brawl.

I actually like the dots. Better than always using character faces.

 

[Raptorbite]

It doesn't bother me either way if they're in or out.

Doesnt't affect gameplay soI could care less. And yes there was a thread similar to this, but I can't seem to recall where it was.

Maybe it just looked weird next to the big character icons... so they tried with dots.

Because of the dots I will not buy Brawl. The change in the stock icon has ruined my life. I've now run away from home and catch and eat squirrels for food.

They are really not even that bad,they are sleeker more better-looking if you ask me.But if they made the faces look better that would have good too, but these look just as good.

Lmao...that's a good one.

Because they already have faces on screen? Stupid Nintendo trying to avoid being redundant.

You say that.....But do cut scenes affect gameplay, do character entrance, etc?

Thats a lame reason for not caring about somehting.

Im actually pretty pissed. teh little faces were cool.

 

[BentoBox]

The Stock Looks different in Brawl.

Mhmmm.

So...

Also, pointless discussion. DOTZ HAB WEPLACED TEH FACEZ! NOES!

I guess I forgot to mention that it's a relatively small change from faces to spheres. Although I do see where you're coming from, and I too like the implications of both CG and character entrances. However as Xane said earlier I think the faces would look weird being next to the character picture. My mistake for wording my origonal post wrong and I hope you see what I'm trying to get at.

 

[Lemon Drop]

Doesn't bother me that the face of the character is right beside/behind them.

 

[PITforREV]

^Yes I was clearly nitpicking a little bit.. Faces to dots is not really comparabvle to entrances vs no entrances...but you see what I'm saying........

But here another quesiotn would you guys rather have no big pic and little face or big pic and dots??

I would definently tak

Actually, I went back and looked, and I think I prefer the little 8-bit faces... mainly because the bigger, more realistic faces + dots looks a lot more cluttered and distracting. I know they are semu-transparent when you are under them, but they still take up the entire bottom fifth of the screen when there are 4 players :[

This is probably where you saw the little heads:

See? They're still in the game.

 

[Deagle]

Well if they had all those little heads already they should just use them

 

[WindSquirrel]

They stuck the character's portraits down there! What more do you want?

 

[Deagle]

Lmao, you don't realise how much sense that made to me O_O, If there's already a picture of there heads, whats the point of adding more. I'd still enjoy them but I'll live with the dots

 

[GreenKirby]

Why is it human nature to complain about every little thing as possible?

What are we gonna complain about next? You can't see your reflection in characters' eyes?!!!!

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

With those portraits around, it is hard to tell how many lives the characters will have left...
