Nah, her face is less rounded and her chin is pointier in the artwork.

That's because the image you chose is an extreme low angle, whereas her art is head-on. That's what happens to a face when you look at it from below.

Anyway, as for Mac...I'm not entirely convinced that that's not a satire of the American fanbase's reaction to stuff, since it's scarily accurate. But if it's not...there's a lot of rather dumb Japanese fans. Specifically, the ones who have no idea who he is. The guy was an Assist Trophy in Brawl. Don't act like you've never seen him.

Also, SMH at the person who was mad he was revealed on the DK game's release date. Diddy Kong was already revealed the previous week.

No, Diddy was revealed after Little Mac. I recall us being surprised by Mac being announced on that day.

I have a message from another time...

[up][up]The "acting like you never saw him" is a snarky indication that they just don't care about the character at all. tongue

Ya gotta remember, the most stubborn fandoms usually reside in either the US or Japan. Since this is the Smash Bros fandom, it's a vitriol combination of both and other nationalities.

The TL;DR version: The U.S. and JP fanbases pretty much act the same about this game.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

Tsk tsk, the Japanese either didn't want Mac or didn't know him...I've never played Punch Out so I wasn't crazy about him getting in, but more characters is always better.

I like how they mention Captain Rainbow, which we didn't get over here.

He'd be fun to have in Smash 4. [lol] See how he looks up against Captain Falcon.

Yeah, nope... Head-on, it's even more noticeably rounded. It's not like I didn't look at other screenshots of Peach.

They don't really look any different to me either. At best, barely, but not enough to really matter at all. She looks great in all the images, imo.

What are we comparing?

Also, I forgot, Captain Rainbow pretty much seems made for Smash, and if this were a couple years ago, I'd have expected him in it, especially if that sold globally.

Okay, these were the best comparison images I could make.

By outlining it, you've effectively covered it up. The two look pretty much the same to me, with differences chalked up to a different angle used.

[up][up]-clicks first pic- GAH!!!!

I'd say the difference there is because of a Cheated Angle.

If we couldn't see what you're talking about while specifically setting out to compare pictures, I'd blame the fact that it's not noticeable, rather than "inherent ADD".

And for the record, a much less offending term would've been "change blindness".

#37420: Mar 2nd 2014 at 11:43:39 AM

That's the thing, I see no reason to think people looked at it carefully, nor any reason to think the lack of noticing isn't the fault of the observers.

How about you're the only one that sees it.

I looked at it carefully. I just don't see them much different at all. Please don't assume bad of people just because they don't agree with you. It's completely unnecessarily.

OK, that's enough of that. Stop talking down to people just because they don't have the same opinion as you, and stop acting like anyone who disagrees with you is only doing so because they are in some way deficient.

The moment when you realize just how much attention Masahiro Sakurai has really been getting.

Anyway, the punchout responses were not overly negative. They were a little more from the sample but there were just as many "who dat is?" "yay, he finally made it" "oh, he's popular overseas" and "Now that I saw his movie, I want to play as him".

What has bugged me a little more is how many complained about Rosalina (said something to the effect of "this roster is a joke" or "this roster sucks" and yet) Daisy is a top pick for a new character. The complainers and the people voting for Daisy may not be the same people but the are, presumably, in contact with one another so you would think it would be more along the lines of "This roster is catering too much to [insert slur here]."

Anyway, I kind of agree with the foreigners, in regards to their poll. I would not want Captain Rainbow and probably would not even recognize him on a glance unless Sakurai release a video that made him look really fun to play. I don't think my knee jerk fit trainer reaction would have just been "*shrug*, that's weird but really funny" if I had not seen her trailer first.
