I find it curious that they went for the KoF XIV looks, like Yamazaki for example. I wonder if SNK had a hand in that.
I was looking at my friends street fighter art book and Akiman's comments for that picture were something like (this picture has a lot of tension I was very careful to make their lips almost touch and put a lot of work into making this drawing super hot) or some shit like that lmao
Oh, I'm sure it was great (especially if you like Terry), but I don't really think watching a 45 minute presentation on a character I'm not fond of is a good use of time. The Hero presentation was shorter but I didn't watch that one either for the same reason.
It's way more due to the industry as a whole. Smash is mainly all iconic heroes and villains from japanese franchises.
Probably not, judging by how much leeway they gave Sakurai. Id bet it was just so they could reuse the model or to just show the modern versions of the characters.
Elma didn't get in because the newcomer roster was smaller than usual because of all vets coming back. Sakurai wanted to honor Iwata making the smash ballot for fans and brought all bets back and wanted to put in a bunch of high ballot characters that mostly happened to be male.
Yeah lol. Im pretty sure theyve even said as much.
It's funny how in Blue Mary's case the wrinkle textures in her pants are almost a one to one match (although at a far lower resolution). Maybe some of them are based in part off the KOF14 models, but I think in general the Smash models are different. They also feature more cartoon-like proportions, like slightly oversized heads.
Sakurai got the idea for Smash Bros. while
hearing him talk about BnBs and revealing that he's an iori fanboy and making references to the NESTS storylines...man you could tell he loves that series to death
And as stated before, you say that as though iconic options for women don't exist. It's mostly the industry's fault, true. But Sakurai & Nintendo still shoulder a decent chunk of the blame.
I just gave multiple options for iconic female characters a few posts earlier. Just read those.
KOF 14's graphics only look bad because of the shitty lighting engine, TBHIt's funny how in Blue Mary's case the wrinkle textures in her pants are almost a one to one match (although at a far lower resolution). Maybe some of them are based in part off the KOF14 models, but I think in general the Smash models are different. They also feature more cartoon-like proportions, like slightly oversized heads.
Honestly the character models in KOF14 are pretty decent.

He gets it from Iwata, maybe the other most down to Earth developer/part of the industry.
Facts. It was awesome seeing him gush. I feel like this is the one he really personally wanted
No he just have different lines that can happen. In the old games he said POWAH WAYVE and the new he says RAWK CHU so in smash he can say one or the other, I think.
basically anyone who was slightly interested in Sakurai honestly
