The smoke trails are just too much. See this screenshot.

In a screenshot they seem like too much.

In action, I barely notice them.

I have the game and yes, they are annoying as hell. I think they are just ugly in general tbh.

Watched someone playing Ultimate IRL for the first time yesterday. Smoke trails are definitely a bit distracting.

 

[GhostYB]

wow, thats a little unfitting to hear. i hope theyre not too distracting
they should turn it down in a patch or something

 

[SmashBro99]

Imagine being bothered by this.

Unless you focus on it HARD it's barely noticeable.

 

[MalanoMan]

I'm sorry! Dont mean to give the wrong impression! Im not saying its game-breaking, but it distracted me.

Gotta say, I'm not a huge fan of how cartoony the graphics are. I'll get over it, sure, but I don't like all of the effects being so opaque.

Pity there isn't an option to turn down the opacity. At least we have the option to get rid of the radar minimap.

I don't get why some people insist the trails are barely noticable. They are thick and constant a hell.. and peoppe made videos about it...because people do notice them in the first place.

I wanne be able to see char poses and know where hitboxes are at all times. And at high level play it's annoying to have thick smoke obscure things. It's also clearly jot only a probpem when you are launched. Many other moves produce this smoke and I've seen xlose fights where a sequence of moves is like a smoke machine...a the videos show. I also don't feel all this smoke adds anything significant aesthetically.

It should absolutely be toned down.

I'm not terribly worried because with how much smash lets you customize your gameplay I'm confident they'll let you turn off the smoke trails.

Because the smoke trails last for less than a second, and in Smash you're going to be focusing 100% on the fighters, items, and stage, and smoke trails will be nothing compared.

It lasts just for a second, but happens all the time, cause all the time you are punching each other. In matches with 4 or more players I can see it being inconvenient and distracting. I hope it will not be a problem (it is distracting less on the videos of the game), or if it is, they will update the game adding a opacity and size bar for the smoke trails on the options menu.

I personally I don't mind it, it's more flashy but there is a bit much, but i don't care, it's such a small thing to complain about, like Smash 4s menu

The smoke isn't like the smoke ball, they are in front of the smoke rather than behind, for the most part
