Will stickers return?

[The Lurker]

I haven't seen much discussion about the return of Brawl's stickers. As of the writing of this post, there has been no official word of such a feature.

In my opinion, stickers were a watered down version of trophies that served another purpose for the SSE in the form of upgrades for your character.

They were interesting, but I felt like they were highly unnecessary.
Especially when these stickers started leaking into the regular VS matches. It was very annoying to pick up a sticker instead of the pokeball you and a friend were both racing for. (Items lol)

Sure stickers may have been easier to produce and allowed for more games to get more rep, but there should be more emphasis on the actually TROPHIES anyway. Those games that deserve rep should get more trophies. If they really wanted to save time, they could still use the old 8 or 16 bit sprites from older games and use that as a 2D trophy like some in Brawl/Melee were.

Any other thoughts on the subject?

Personally, I expect them to return, especially because they could be used this time around as stamps in Miiverse.

Short answer: I hope not. Honestly, they were quite forgettable and collecting them seems a lot more monotonous than with Trophies. Trophies have an alluring novelty to them from their presentation alone. Going the extra mile for those I actually enjoy. I can understand why stubs of classic game art could be valuable, but they just weren't to me.

I really hope not. Stamps feel so shoehorned into Miiverse, it doesn't sit right with me. Their justification is to seriously make people that can't draw feel better.

That said if they're there I hope they're there in a creative way, not just some useless collectible. Smash is good about that though. In Brawl they're used in SE, most of Sakurai's games have those actually challenging achievement boards, and trophies are fun to look at and read.

Stamps feel anything but shoehorned in Miiverse, especially when you have to earn them like in SM3DW.

Given that most people can't draw, I think this is a pretty good reason to have stamps. They're more functional than other arbitrary aesthetic collectables in any case.

Miiverse only allows you to do black & white drawings. If the stickers are colored, they'll be rendered useless for Miiverse usage, except for if you post a screenshot of them, much like with the Art Academy artworks.

Wouldn't bat an eye if stickers were removed.

Plus everyone knows the real Miiverse fun is going to come from taking in game photos.

Judging by the "Take a break from debate, laugh at miiverse posts" thread this can only be a good thing.

Excuse my art snobbery, but...

Ya know?

Seeing as their major purpose was to be used in the Subsapce I can see them not returning. I don't think I would lose any sleep if they didn't return.

I don't really feel that they'd be all that necessary to bring back honestly. Their main purpose in Brawl was to aid characters in the SSE, and I do understand that some people may have enjoyed looking at them, but honestly, I'd rather just have more trophies of those characters. Obtaining a new trophy is just more satisfying for me personally. There's also the issue of their overall usefulness seeing as we won't be getting an SSE style Adventure Mode this time around as well.

It was a nice way to shocase even the most obscure games, I personally don't want them to leave unless Sakurai is able to make 3D models of every great Nintendo character there is.

The only stickers that were ever useful to me were the ones that made trophy stands appear more often because without them you didn't have much of a chance to capture those precious boss trophies. With no SSE this time around, stickers can go to hell for all I care.

One of the things I loathed about Brawl was how these things were forced in every mode of play and no way to turn them off (unless you turned ALL the items off). I hate getting a sticker instead of a normal item drop.

Agreed. But I don't expect them to appear.

I don't care if they return but don't hate them either. I will be happy either way.

I don't hate that they enable people to make situations/drawings with the stamps, I hate that everyone feels the need to use them and they completely clog the Miiverse community. SM3DW is an example...and yes you have to earn them but that itself doesn't make people use them liberally.
