As all of you know, on today's trophy update, there is a screenshot of the collection view, making a comeback from melee. It is the mode where you see all the trophies you have aquired on a single table, scattered and randomly placed (but you all know that).;)

What I want to bring to people's attention is the character trophies...
Most of you must have noticed it but juste in case you haven't:
They are not actual trophies.:urg:
Or if they are, they are plane, paper-flat pictures.:lick:
Because you see, the playable characters and petey trophies (and even some items) are not 3d models: They just put the flat character artwork shown on the website.
Further proving this is the bottom of peach's dress and the angle of their poses: it is the EXACT same angle as their artwork because it IS their artwork.;)

What I am trying to show you is this...
Sakurai Purposely shows pictures that are modified to show just exactly what he wants to show at the moment.
People, the screens are coming from the CREATORS and DEVELOPPERS version of the game.
They can show Anything that they want from the game exactly the way they want.
Its even very likely that tha in-game screenshots are often not taken during an actual match. They easily can place the characters and items they want in a very precise and otheriwse almost impossible setting to obtain.:ohwell:
That's why the Online-Avatar-Selection Screen contains only the already-shown characters, from my point of view it would actually be very logical that this is it as of starters but it does not make it final in any possible way.:)
So that's how they manage to make things like the before-mentionned trophy collection screen where there is magically only already-updated stuff. :p

In Melee, the trophies weren't 3D in the overall view of the collection (over the table).

Indeed, but you do recognize that they weren't flat character artwork and weren't the exact same pose either, neither were they in the exact same rotation angle, and neither were they streched in abominable ways (again: check the bottom of peach's dress). In fact, they showed depth even in that planar view.
So yeah, These are very obviously not what their trophies will look like.
Your are right though, only it doesn't go against what I've said.
