I'm feeling the same way, I just hope Sakurai will include an option to turn the icons off, they should have been just like in Melee

dont worry guys, this isnt the finalized version of the game. Notice there are NO stock icons or Time counter at the top. The screenshot is purely cosmetic

Some people complain just too darn much. They're icons. Pick at something else like why the hell the "Golden Hammer" is such an unoriginal idea.

If it's not customizable, it's something we will always have to deal with, though. And this is something that is hard to ignore. I think some complaining might be in order in this case!

On the other hand, you can even customize the frequency of randomized music titles.
Good old Sakurai will probably give us an option to turn them off.

Or maybe they are not in the actual game at all and they're just there for the newbies who never played the game and can't associate the icons with the respective characters yet.

Because, honestly, those icons are incredibly ugly. They make the whole thing look like some n00bish Gamemaker platformer thing where every piece of artwork was grabbed from random pictures found on Google.

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.
im glad to see that im not the only one who hate those horrible things

i really dont know who was the genius who tought that a picture and name would be great, but i really hope he gets his a$$ fired

the symbol and the %, i always loved that, now the completely f*cked up. i really hope theres a way to take them out.... unfortunately, by the way it looks, i guess it wont be possible

WAIT A MINUTE! I just realized something...

What if... The reason for those names and pictrues is for Wi-Fi play; instead of the character's picture and name, your icon and name will appear instead!

I'm reminded of the phrase "If its not broken don't fix it". The symbol and percentage was fine before so adding a picture with the symbol seems redundant.

if so, only on friend to friend play. random play = no information is exchanged, including gamer tags.

So what? Do you really want to get to know a complete stranger from another corner of the world?

Besides, Sakurai said he did the best he could do.

The knocked-off effect is much bigger then in Melee.
I'm really gonna laugh when people are going to complain about it.
Just like the icons.

The icons are cool, but make them translucent! I mean, yes, thanks for telling me I'm Link, because ya know, the Triforce and the knowledge that I picked Link myself isn't enough to tell me I'm Link.

But if they were translucent(there, but see-through), that would be perfect.

I think that they look pretty cool, but do agree that they could get in the way like they did in Melee. I'm hoping that they'll fix the zoom calibration so that they never cover up your characters. I would always get killed in Hyrule Temple underneath in that high % haven when two other people were fighting up top in a 4P match.
I'm sure they'll fix things, Sakurai is smart. So stop complaining!
