For autists that lived their lives glued to the screen playing Autism Bros I can't believe they missed all the marks of what makes the games look so good or play so well. It's 80% art direction and 20% shitty gameplay that makes the games so overwhelmingly popular and this looks like complete utter shit. They missed the most important point and went with shitty overdesigned characters that blend with the background.

Why won't people understand, you need simple attractive designs and waifus.

If they nail the melee physics, polish up the animations, get better sound direction, perfect the melee top tier clones to feel like the melee top tiers, create interesting new characters that are able to compete against the top tiers, insert new mechanics that differ from melee and have good netplay I see this having some potential.

Yeah the expectatives are high, but if you're going to make an 'spiritual successor' of melee might aswell nail everything and make it better than the original. Even then I don't see this overtaking the melee community, unless of course they somehow make the game WAY better than melee.

The speed is like 80-90% of that of Melee.

That's fine to me honestly Smash 64 is slower but still great fun competitively. My problem though so far is that the combos themselves seem a bit flowchart. it seems like the hitboxes are extremely simple and so no matter how you contact their hurtbox with parts of your hitbox they'll still fly in very uniform paths. Hard to tell from such limited footage though.

I mean artstyle is shit but whatever, sund can be improved, but if the gameplay is sit then RIP

>Your proving to the public that unless you can transfer your exact Melee skills to another game, your stubborn mules

This exactly is why PM was fucking shit. Had to bring back wavedashing, had to bring back Melee FD, had to make the Melee top-tiers exactly how they were in Melee to the point where they even changed Fox and Falco's model to a high-res version of their Melee look.

Way to reinforce the stereotype, you obsessed, lifeless fucks. "No items, Fox only, Final Destination" is a thing for a damn good reason. Fuckers can't move on unless they all that time they spent in "da lab" can pay off forever.

IT ONLY WORKS IN SMASH BECAUSE THESE CHARACTERS ARE ESTABLISHED

Answer to negative feedback

We decided to open up our work to the public after we felt comfortable enough with our base level mechanics and playable characters. We released this footage because we're ready for feedback. We're ready to mold this game further with the asks from the community. We want everyone who is interested in Icons to be involved. After all, Rome wasn't built overnight :).

The reason we're still around after two years is because we have one really, really huge advantage: we have a community that gives us a TON of feedback. You hold us to a very high standard, and frankly it's because the Smash community deserves a high standard. We strongly believe that for as long as you are holding us to that standard, then we are on the right path.

I admit, it's pretty scary at times. We put our stuff out in the public eye way before other companies would. This is because the earlier we get your feedback, the more likely it is we can make changes before it's too expensive to do so.

Yesterday's was the first step. We've already started posting gifs and videos of gameplay snippets from the build we playtested at Evo.

The positive responses to yesterday's trailer are wonderful and have encouraged the team, but it's the negative responses that truly galvanize us. Some, like placeholder sound effects, were issues we knew about, and we took the calculated risk that putting a trailer out at Evo and moving us into the next stage of development was more important than waiting for that polish to come in.

Now, thanks to your feedback, we have an even clearer path forward. Some were already in the works (we have a new SFX designer starting next week, hooray!) and some we have upped in priority.

So, to answer your question: we're going to keep building, we're going to keep asking for feedback, and we're going to share our progress with you every step of the way. We're excited about what the next several months will bring :)

Awful character designs. Stop putting "diversity" in everything. Have cool dudes and cute girls instead.

>>384336865
>you need simple attractive designs
It helps that Smash Bros. never needed to design any playable characters of its own, and the majority of characters in Smash are old designs from back in the day where designs had to be practical cause of all the hardware limitations.

Mario doesn't have a mustache or cap because it looks neat, but because drawing a mouth or hair at low resolutions was hard. Mega Man was originally going to be red, but was made blue because the NES palette favours cool colours. Etc.

To be a demon avocado, I think the very idea of making smash clones is fine. It's about as acceptable an idea as Souls clones and we've had some good ones. This one looks really rough around the edges, it looks shitty and unpolished, but it's pre-alpha (for whatever that worthless phrase is worth nowadays). I'd totally play a smash clones that perfectly replicates the feel of smash without the recognizable characters. The core gameplay of smash is fun to me, and other clones like CN:PTE and Playstation Mostly-Multiplats-Two-inFamousmen-Plus-Former-Xbox-Exclusive-Big-Daddy-Stars Battle Royal just felt bad to play.

That said, the "FREE TO PLAY" thing makes me worried it's gonna be some online-only shit that's solely focused on online MLG pro shit with no real option for local couch co-op which is how I play smash.

That's a nice dislike bar.
