What the crap? (icon anger)

[oxyborb]

Ok, it can't just be me, but these icons are waaay to big! These things are going to get so annoying if you can't turn them off. I mean, what the crap?

If I select Mario, then while I'm playing I need to be reminded IN THREE WAYS that I am playing mario!

Why do we need a picture?!?!? He's ON THE SCREEN ALREADY?!

ANd if I selected mario, then I obviously know his stinkin name!

Those things got kind of annoying sometimes in Melee as is, so, they decided to make them BIGGER! What the crap, here's to hope that you can turn them down to regular form.

I know there's nothing I can do, but whatever, it still is annoying.

 

[Blackadder]

Ehh.
I honestly don't think it will be a problem at all.

Mario's face is on the bottom of the screen? So what? You'll live.

If I can survive the heart attack I got from seeing Brawl Online, I'll be pkay with this piece of trivia.

 

[SenorPresidente]

Yes the icons are a tad too big. But if you notice on that image with link and mario only links icon is showing. so maybe they will be able to customize them.

 

[Sinn]

What are the stock counters going to look like...?

 

[tstumo]

I like the icons. without them they look inda eww now.

 

[Arteen]

I also hate the huge icons. It makes that whole lower chunk of the screen useless because players would have no visibility in that region. Unless its for immersive effect (Metroid Prime), HUDs should not display needless graphics or redundant information. I'm surprised that the HUD designer for Brawl would completely ignore this usability guideline.

Oh, and random observation: nicknames now have 5 characters, instead of the 4 from Melee.

 

[Mini Mic]

wouldn't lose sleep over it, i'm sure you'll get used to it pretty quick

 

[SenorPresidente]

1 on 1 matches it won't make a difference but when on teams or 4x4 the screen always gets bigger and thats when problems happen.

 

[oxyborb]

oops, I meant to post this in the general, oh well, maybe it'll be moved. Yeah, I suppose I'll get used to it, and with wide screen it'll be less of a problem. From an aesthetic perspective, it's just too much useless crap at once.

 

[NukeA6]

Once you play Brawl, you will forget all about it.

 

[lukintosh]

What are the stock counters going to look like...?

Exactly.

The icons are fine. Its a fresh change from the small character icons

 

[Lord_Deathborne]

We don't know if this is what it will look like in the final version anyway...

uhhhhh yeah. Brawl now sucks, I'm definitly not buying the game now.

 

[TenshiOni]

I'm sure it won't bother me at all after a day of actually playing the game.

But yeah, I'm curious as to what the stock matches will look like. Hopefully something similar to Melee.

 

[Kabyk-Greenmyst]

Yea, I agree. The numbers are a little too big, and the faces are just overdoing it. If you can't read the percentages as they are in Melee, the solutions is to wear your glasses(like i do) instead of making the numbers as large as can be so that the bottom half of the screen gets blocked when the players split apart and make the camera zoom out.

 

[Shuma]

A little too big? They're like freaking gargantuan!. There was no need to have the mushroom icon, Mario and Mario's pic, same with all the other characters.

 

[Drake3]

There's probably a reason for it, but I kinda like it anyway.

 

[Fabiano]

I like them.
The Melee icons were pretty.. unclear.

 

[Brawlmatt202]

Quite *****ing, I don't mind at all.

 

[Arteen]

Once you play Brawl, you will forget all about it.

They got in the way more than a few times in Melee, and the Melee ones weren't as bad. They make too much of the screen unplayable.

 

[Caael]

Oh crap. Because of this, the game will SUCK. My life is over!

It's nothing.

 

[Eight Sage]

Oh crap. Because of this, the game will SUCK. My life is over!

It's nothing.

No need of being so dramatic... but yes, the icons are huge. Imagine a flat zone like stage. You can barely see the fighters with those icons.

Nice photoshop on last picture oxyborb.

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Aw well, maybe you can turn them off?

 

[Devastlian]

I think it'd be kinda cool if you could turn off the icons in parts like maybe picture/icon/name/percentage/stock/(coin etc.) or maybe change their opacity like you could in the MP games even to point of there being no HUD whatsoever...That'd be kinda interesting.

And welcome back to another episode of.....

Audience: SIZE DEBATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


*cheering*

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Why are some people making such a fuss about the damage meter display? Apparently I find it to be rather unique.

 

[axemangx]

What bugs me, is the huge P1-4 numbers >_>

 

[smash_fo_life]

what the crap lol

 

[Kentalish]

lol ladys ladys calm down i know u have sand in your virgina but honestly when your playing u wont give a **** itl also help u know how much your owning your opponent

 

[the grim lizard]

I kind of agree. The redundancy is a little annoying.

 

[Kentalish]

ok how many of us didnt notice this BE HONEST

THAT ICON is the one that appears when your fighting so dont get your panties in a bunch

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

ok how many of us didnt notice this BE HONEST

THAT ICON is the one that appears when your fighting so dont get your panties in a bunch

I don't think it is because the other people in that had different icons than the ones they had during the match...one had a mii, one had an eggplant...

 

[Kentalish]

ok i just got pwned... um ok but still it doesnt matter.

 

[StarIceRaptor]

You'll get over it. Then again, maybe not.

I find Donkey Kong's name on screen (Donkey instead of DK) to be more troublesome than the actual icons, but meh, big deal, it's trivial.

 

[Enigma14]

It bugs me a bit but I'm over it

 

[Kentalish]

if im playing and it distracts you isnt that better for me??/ then i can win easyer

 

[KingBulbinX]

are these the excuses you'll all us when you get owned?
"OMGWTF THE ICONS WERE TOO BIG!!!"
yeeeah.....no

 

[Kentalish]

lol its like u 4 stock somone and then they ***** about it on these forums... id piss my pants

 

[Enigma14]

The stickers bug me however...>.>

 

[Enigma14]
