Which Character will make the most of HD?

[Networker1]

So since Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will be HD with high quality textures, which character will benefit the most from it. My personal list of candidates is: Donkey Kong, Samus, Pit, Fox, and Link.

DK and Fox get in for the fur, Samus and Link both have chain-link textures. Link, Pit and Fox also share the layered clothing aspect, as does Samus to some degree. Bowser and Olimar are honorable mentions, but I think their textures and designs in general are too solid/smooth for them to be on the list.

Now for the eliminations:
DK is awesome in a screenshot, but in game I doubt you will really notice how good he looks in HD.

Pit's design, while layered is still to simple to me amazing in HD, however, if the game has good fabric physics, he could become very cool in HD.

Samus is awesome and all, but her polygon count appears low, probably a design choice based on her armor being metal and all...

Fox suffers from the same problems as Pit, awesome looks, but not a complex enough character to be the best, even though he 1-upped Pit with his fur.

This leaves Link to be my champion, why? Because his hair looks amazing, he has at least 3 clothing layers, also the textures on the shield, sword, and sword sheath are all awesome, not to mention the belts and gauntlets.


Have fun rating who you think will look the best in HD! :D

 

[moneyfrenzy]

Obviously Kirby

 

[Networker1]

By number rating (with Mario and Link as benchmark and maximum, respectively):

Kirby: 1
Villager: 2
Wii Fit Trainer: 2
Pikachu: 3
Mega man: 3.5
Olimar: 4
Mario: 5
DK: 6
Samus: 6
Bowser: 7
Pit: 8
Fox: 9
Link: 10

The more I thought about it, Samus isn't all that great in HD due to unnecessarily pointy armor, and I didn't give Bowser enough credit. Also, I'm not sure why I said Olimar was an honorable mention. XD

 

[MasteRMerF]

Donkey Kong and his marvelous fur.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Of the announced ones: DK and Link.

However, I can imagine that Ganondorf will look beastly as hell.

 

[Arteen]

Fighting Polygon Team, obviously.

I'd say Samus got the biggest improvement. Her Other M armor looks awful in the game itself, but great in SSB.

 

[Sane.]

We already know Samus looks great, as a Link fan I'm excited to see how well they work his outfit and his projectile accessories. ^_^

 

[SpaceJell0]

King Dedede's clothes will look awesome in HD as well as Ness's design. Can't imagine Mr. Game and Watch changing though

High Definition G&W is the best thing to ever happen to HDMIinputdevices!

 

[Snakeyes]

Captain Falcon's golden nipples and his dreamy 12 pack will look great in HD.

 

[Curmudgeon]

Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, Ness, Lucas and Zero Suit Samus

 

[kikaru]

I have to give props to Kirby, I didn't think they could make him look any more adorable than his appearance in Brawl but the first trailers proved me oh so wrong.

 

[Lemonwater]

Mr. Game & Watch

Link is beautiful with or without HD

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Obviously Kirby

This

I was impressed with his going from melee to brawl in the trailer, and even more so from brawl to SM4SH

Yeah! Who knew there were other shades of pink!?

 

[Z1GMA]

Bowser with those scales.
DK's fur looks beast, too.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Ness in HD would be stunning.

Not sure what you mean. Link's outfit is already in several screenshots at the official site.

[Networker1]

oops double post

I'll take this opportunity to say that the game looks like it will have dynamic shadows, while the 3ds gets the normal circle underfoot. That's gonna look awesome

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon, Mewtwo, Lucario, and ROB should all look pretty awesome in HD.

 

[Sane.]

Didn't notice that thanks!

Definitely one of my favorite Nintendo artworks; shield doesn't look as polished as it could though.

 

[Kapus]

Ice Climbers.

Peach would also look pretty nice, I imagine.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Yeah I'd love to see how Ice Climbers turn out.
In Brawl their faces were kinda creepy looking though.

 

[Dark Phazon]

Bloody hell..i just wanna see Ridley in HD Real f_cking Talk.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I think a character like Meta Knight may benefit well from it, due to his wings and cape.

DK's fur gets a lot out of it though.

 

[BaPr]

Kirby, no doubt. Did anyone else lol at when Kirby went from Melee to Brawl and he was the only one to look the exact same? Even his face said "WTF?"

Anyways, I think DK would, I mean, look at his hair! Same with Link, the first thing I noticed about him was how detailed his hair looked when he shielded Megaman's metal blade. It flowed so perfectly, and majestically.

 

[Rioni]

I love the look on DK's and Fox's furs. Also Kirby and Pikachu are both really adorablee

I really can't wait to see the looks of the other returning characters in that glorious HD world, mostly Marth, Ness, Lucas, and the other Pokémon.

 

[APC99]

Let me see, what characters will look cool in HD and why...

Donkey Kong: Obviously the best of it so far.
Ganondorf: Can't wait to see how he looks!
King K. Rool: Scales and all.
Sonic: Can't wait to see his "spines"/ "fur" in HD!
Mr. Game & Watch:
Lucario: There better be fur on him.
Toon Link: His hair should be like Link's.
Zero Suit Samus: Hehehehehehe I'm a teenage boy...

 

[Networker1]

Lol, everyone says DK's hair will be amazing, but I'd guess you won't be able to tell in a fight. I guess we'll have to see some DK gameplay before we can decide.

 

[Ulevo]

Game & Watch is the obvious answer.

 

[Crystanium]

• The Varia Suit's color is neither too vibrant, nor dull. The helmet and breastplate look beautiful in contrast to the visor and the lighting.
• I like the black, under layer. It gives Samus that appearance that she's not all clunky like her previous incarnations. It could have looked a tad more detailed, however.
• The armor has some pointed areas where the knees and boots are at, but that's been common in all incarnations, really.

 

[Uffe]

If DK's fur flows as if running through a breezy meadow, then I'll be happy. Samus looks pretty nice. Link as well. I wish Pikachu would stop being a hairless mouse with yellow skin.

Pikachu will look really weird with fur

 

[Uffe]

Pikachu will look really weird with fur

Make it happen, damn it!

 

[TumblrFamous]

Excuse me? Zelda anyone? If anyone will look great in HD, it'd be the Princess and Sheik.

 

[[Corn]]

HD Ice Climber Parkas will be the fuzziest thing to exist.

 

[PikaJew]

Wondering what look Zelda/Shiek will have.
If Toon Link returns he'll look incredible based on the Windwaker HD model.
I'm most curious about Yoshi and what look he'll have.

 

[Good Guy Giygas]

Ness and Lucas in HD...so much epicness... But I also think Snake and ROB would looks pretty awesome in HD as well.

 

[Phan7om]

Since metal textures will have light reflective properties. Anyone who is metal would seem just amazing. Inb4 metal textures. R.O.B would look amazing if thats the case, Metaknight (hopefully balanced) would probably look amazing with his mask and stuff. Snakes grenades should shine when you throw them. Im also hype for Kirby's copy hats and how they will look in HD, therefore Samus/CF/R.O.B hat would be boss.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Anyone not thinking DK's ingame appearance is all that impressive? His render is phenomenal, but ingame it just looks like his fur is slightly blurred.
