How do you feel about the smoke effect in Smash Ultimate?

Lock if this comes off as yet another redundant Smash thread.

So these are the two newest matches to come from official Nintendo accounts.



Seems like a fair standard 1 v 1. But that smoke + Snake mines + a small stage is a bit concerning.



And then you get to this 2 v 2 and it's straight up everyone's smoke + smoke from the stage.

Is that something you think they'll tone down before release if enough people raise a concern, or is it just whatever for most people.

It's a nice addition, it just takes up too much space.

Didn't like it at first, way too distracting but I'm starting to get over it so I kinda like it.

 

[fadedbones]

I really hope it gets toned down or removed entirely. Obscures too much and is showy just for the sake of it.

 

[strife85]

first time noticing it..tone that down please

 

[Doskoi Panda]

I'd like the option to change between different eras of visual and sound effects.

 

[TheFireman]

I really like it on 1 v 1, but that 2v2 video was kind of hard to follow and I think the smoke was a part of that.

Excellent mechanic that will finally solve the question of who actually killed your friend which will stop a lot of arguments for good. I see how some people think it's too much, but I like it a lot

 

[TheMisterManGuy]

It's a bit jarring coming from previous Smash games, but like the balloon physics, you get used to it pretty quickly.

 

[MisterHero]

It adds to the cartoon humor. I hope the screen-sized score indicator can be toggled though

 

[Zalman]

I don't really find it distracting. In fact I forget it's there.

 

[RadioJoNES]

It's too much on the eyes and I hope it's toned down a little bit. I also hate the loud ass stock lost sound.

The problem with that is that the smoke is showing up for every moderate hit, not just the ones that kill or come close to killing.

And it's showing up in 1v1, where there should be no question over who got the kill.

They really could've thought about it a bit better.

 

[404LinkNotFound]

i actually think its preety good. Makes it easier to see who killed you or who hit you

 

[secretanchitman]

Fine with me! Wouldn't mind if they toned it down or left it as is.

 

[Grapezard]

I'll live, I don't see it as annoying yet. Still would be nice if it showed up exclusively at later percentages.

What I do find annoying is that "point scored" sound effect from the K Rool vs Snake footage.

This. More smoke at higher percentages. Barely any or none when you're at 0%.

 

[TheOGB]

It's a neat looking effect, but the trails are too long. And yes, showing up at higher percentages like Smash 4 would probably help.

 

[Eulala]

I said it before in the other thread with these videos, but way too much smoke. It doesn't help that the 2 vs. 2 match had stage transitions with fog. I need them high beams to see this fight.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Didn't even notice the smoke.

 

[RockmanBN]

It get's way to chaotic with more than two players. The smoke should be building up and become more clear the higher your percentage.
