Diddy's Smash 4 render has always looked so hilariously awful
Like what even IS this? It barely even looks like a 3D model. It almost looks like something that Smashfied would make.
Then you have the render from Ultimate, and the difference in quality is like, night and day.
I don't know if it's just due to the natural limitations of the subgenre (it's hard to imagine Super Metroid being iterated on and directly, meaningfully improved, though I'm not sure I'd say it's because it's perfect) or if it's just down to the developers' vision not being that interesting, but all the 2D Metroids after Super really do drop the ball in some way. The first three games are all very wildly different from each other, and both Metroid 2 and SM improve on their predecessors in major ways - but Fusion, Zero Mission, and Samus Returns all hardly do anything interesting or unique that Super Metroid didn't already do.
Fusion shows the closest thing to a lasting improvement by trying to rebalance the Super Metroid framework into a linear action game, which has its positives (it does have the best / only good boss battles in the series) but it's still not as good at being a dedicated action game as actual dedicated action games, and in the process of doing what it does, Fusion sheds a lot of the unique strengths of Super as well. I kind of feel like the actual way forward from Super Metroid would be to attempt something like that (make boss fights meaningful and interesting, not like Super Metroid's attrition trudges) without completely cutting nonlinearity, but I feel like Nintendo would never really do something like that.
It's a shame that the in-game fur textures for the Kongs still aren't that amazing in Ultimate.Diddy's Smash 4 render has always looked so hilariously awful

Knowing Sakurai's MO they'd go probably with something like Neo Arcadia, but my personal pick would also be the Zero 2 opening stage. It's the most iconic location in the entire series for me. Zero throwing off the cloak while Departure starts up is one of the best game intros ever.
When I was little I made a music video of the Z2 opening set to the Megaman X7 main theme.
Fucking rad as hell.
DK's fur texture looked so damn bad in 4. Just bad at every viewpoint.
DK is the OG veteran who's had it the roughest in terms of character models. Ultimate is probably the best he's looked in comparison to the rest of the cast and his fur still looks bad if you get too close.
Actually, sans his creepy yellow teeth, he wasn't that bad looking in Brawl compared to the rest of the cast I guess.
He was definitely the roughest looking of the cast in 64:
And he just looked off in Melee. Most of the others you could attribute to them being GCN interpretations of characters who had never been above 64 graphic quality but DK was just flat out off model.

It's kinda hilarious comparing some of the Smash 64 models to how the characters looked like in other games at the time
Not sure if discussed already but there was apparently a 2B image going around. It looked very convincing. But I do think it is very fake now cause of the screen grain.
Here's the pic for reference :
Bad shading on the character model kills it for me. There's no way something like this would make it past the devs to the playtesting stage.
oh yes finally some fucking foodNot sure if discussed already but there was apparently a 2B image going around. It looked very convincing. But I do think it is very fake now cause of the screen grain.

Still sad that all the MM remixes except one are classic MM. Could have gotten some good Zero stuff.

That's bullshit but I believe itNot sure if discussed already but there was apparently a 2B image going around. It looked very convincing. But I do think it is very fake now cause of the screen grain.
Here's the pic for reference :
I don't actually think the model looks too bad (the hair's not too dissimilar to Sheik's aesthetically), but also it's a contextless image that someone had infinite time to photoshop.
wasn't even aware there was a 4chan thread. Just people mentioning stuff to me like omg guys is this character #6 on discord haha.
Image leaks are always interesting to talk about. Yeah, it can burn people out, but it's something.

It is certainly fake.
A. for all of the reasons other posters mentioned regarding shading, grain, etc
B. Because Who-B will never be in Smash
I know that's your gimmick but that one doesn't work here.

The Ultimate Diddy is like the OG Donkey Kong Country. With Smash 4 they tried to pull a dang Tom and Jerry Kids or A Pup Named Scooby Doo with him. Did not like!
Just gonna nip this 2B fake in the bud real quick. The modder behind it already posted the green screen they used to make it. It's just her Soul Calibur model.
More image "leaks", less predictions disguised as leaks by random internet users this time around please.
Can't name names, but I got someone tellin me that Geno's not in.
I guess it takes time to make image leaks and few ever get by the initial setup anymore. But I too prefer them.
Especially if they can be good enough to get by people.
Are overalls back in style? I'm having terrible flashbacks to the early 90s as a 3 year old.
They didn't want me to reveal it until now. Now those poor Geno stans now know that he ain't in.
Pretty weird time to give you that outdated info from before Volume 2 was green-lit, considering that Geno's announcement is coming up in a week.
hey yanno if thats what it took for 60fps its worth it imoIt's kinda hilarious comparing some of the Smash 64 models to how the characters looked like in other games at the time
Rather odd timing to say this after that series of DK images.
That's got to be the most pathetic use of a crossover I've seen when it comes to a clothing brand. Even cheap as chips Primark gets better results. Levi's literally took what appear to be their regular clothing and slapped a tiny Mario logo on the label. And the sad thing is they'll have the gall to charge an arm and a leg for it.

Probably in the minority here but I personally think all characters with fur looked the best in Brawl.
The texture work seemed more.. consistent.
Smash 4 was just a mess all around.
It's sad, because these exist in the exact same line of clothing:
The other pair though? They have some coins coming out of a back pocket, I guess?

Back in the day Brawl was seen as an improvement all round compared to Melee since all the models were on-model.
Smash for being so colourful just made it more apparent how dull Brawl's colours are, but I feel people shit on its graphic way too much.
It had a far better looking Link and Ganondorf model compared to its Wii U brethren for starters.
I definitely have a lot more appreciation for Brawl's visuals now than I did in the past.
It's absolutely the most consistent Smash installment visually; and not just because of the universally dull colors. None of the characters look totally off-model or egregiously worse in quality relative to the rest of the cast.

I guess that's... something. Most of the design is on the inside. I guess you can appreciate it every time you go for a tinkle.It's sad, because these exist in the exact same line of clothing:

You'd think they'd take advantage of the fact Mario wears overalls and style them more like his; thicker straps and two large metallic buttons.
They couldn't even make the buttons gold; making them larger was clearly out of the question.
I always see that one Nit-Pick person posting funny skits using Ultimate snap shots.
