I don't get it. Her new pose looks way better. The old one looks like she's settling in to take a dump on the floor.

I would be a fan of that pose if every time she fired she fell over into a heap because her center of gravity is all hosed up.

The old pose was somewhat realistic looking for someone shooting a gun with intent to actually hit the opponent. The new one is some goofy comic-book style nonsense that has her bending at unnatural angles to get as much of her body into the frame as possible.

It looking more dynamic is the only thing that matters tbh. Also you want to the character models to have their bodies showing as much as possible? The game's perspective is from the side so it makes sense that no one is standing perfectly sideways. It would look really dumb.

It looks horrible to anyone who knows about how the human body can bend and such. There's showing more than just your profile to camera and than there's contorting the body in ways it shouldn't.

Well obviously the old pose was made to more closely mimic the pose from Metroid Zero Mission. Compare! Zero Mission sprites:   I mean, obviously the new one looks more dynamic and whatever, but it's definitely less like the pose in Zero Mission. I also don't think it's a big deal or anything.

If it looks cool and is more functional it doesn't matter whether the human body could technically do it or not. It could be a product of tweening anyways.

I guess I don't get why games have sex appeal because why do people want to jack off to polygons so badly At the end of the day ZSS is taking up a slot that could've gone to another character.

In response to "who cares", I think scrutiny of Samus' depictions are expected after Other M. Yoshi's rainbow isn't nearly as interesting or stupid. Also, pretty much everyday that doesn't have a direct is a slow news day. I guess they're also saving the confirmations of veterans like Ness and Captain Falcon for the direct videos now too. I just want the game now. I can only speculate so much... and it's still FOUR MONTHS until the 3DS game?

I would say that basing her animations off a game where it is zoomed in on her all the time for a game where the camera is zoomed out to accommodate 3 other players, huge stages, and tons of other stuff is in fact a bad idea.

Yes, Sakurai arbtrarily decided 'there are only 40 characters in this game' and refuses to budge on that number no matter what. Wait, no, that's not how it works at all. That said, ZSS does represent an investment of development time and resources that could have gone somewhere else, be it a different character or more stages or whatever. But just because you don't like a character doesn't mean they're wasting a slot. I don't really care about Little Mac, because I have no attachment to the Punch-Out games and his playstyle doesn't look interesting to me, but there are people who do care about him.

They could've just ported Samus and ZSS directly from Brawl and I don't think anyone would have complained. It's just Sakurai's policy of using the "latest" incarnations that caused this. He probably added the jetboots to counter the fact that Other M ZSS looked weak. Excels fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Apr 24, 2014 |

I guess I never really understood why ZSS needed to be a character in the first place. I mean obviously normal Samus is what everybody associates with the series. She really seems to have no purpose other than sex appeal. I mean if you like playing as her that's fine I'm just talking about why she was added in the first place.

Endorph posted:It's kind of hilarious when people get all anti-sexism while simultaneously being sexist. Like Other M Samus was loving terribly written but what exactly makes her a 'bimbo?' Didn't they animefy her, make her eyes/boobs bigger and make her cry and ask for help a lot, etc etc?
