Why go through the trouble of building a shy guy + cart model from the ground up? Nobody gives a shit what they look like, they'll just be zooming by and all you'll think is "better get out of the way!" The time spent building a brand new shiny shy guy is better spent making the far far FAR more important characters/assist trophies/etc. look better.
EDIT: I'm starting to think this picture-a-day thing is a bad idea. Everyone will find SOMETHING to complain about every day it seems. This is one of the more negative threads on GAF as of late.
Naw, people love to complains. I have seen many complaints that are even worse than this thread. Don't tell me that you actually forget all about Dojo's updates?
They can make things look good to a certain amount of distance, and they would most likely be prioritizing it looking good at the normal distance when you are fighting.
The only thing I wished they touched up is Spirit Tracks Link. He looks like crap no matter what because his model is pretty bad lol. The textures definitely look nice, though I probably won't even see him at the stage most of the time.
Nice to see the Smash Bros. ring has some functionality to it. I didn't have a problem with Brawl's falling speed, etc. but the trampoline/bumper physics were bonkers with how fast and far they pushed you. I hope it's relaxed this time around.
also i want it to be a combination boxing/wrasslin ring
A couple pages back, someone had mentioned an Advance Wars rep. I was thinking how awesome that would be. But then I thought, what if Advance Wars got in, but it was a character from Portrait of Ruin?
Tap B to mope. Smash Attack - Depress every character on stage, they can't jump or run for 10 seconds.

Sakurai made some stuff, and he has that mortality thing going. Though I assume that is maintained by absorbing the life force of all the smash players every time they play smash.

In the age of middleware, asset libraries, and art outsourcing, SSB having shared assets is the largest non-issue in the history of manufactured non-issues.

Cause I'm bored I'm gonna judge every month of smash so far:
June:
top posts:
3. Mario and WFT in midair. (at least I remember this shot)
2. Pit using his new side B in midair (this confirms it as a special)
1. Lovely close up of Samus.
worst posts:
3. Extreme ugly close-up of wii fit trainer. (ugh.)
2.the three art pieces we've already seen for characters. (why?)
1. Another empty battle field. goes without saying
rating: 3/10
reason: honestly no new info at all + tons of repeat shots. Most week 1 shots also look worse/less interesting than poop shots from other weeks.
July:
top posts:
3. Mario 3DS stage picture: explains stage & fun picture to look at.
2. KI 3DS stage: new stage, awesome! Uprising represent.
1. Olimar: holy cow we're gonna get characters & new stages? dojo confirmed.
worst posts:
3. super zoomed in villager face: super zoomed in shots, I will grow to hate you.
2. Donkey Kong back rub on battlefield: lame & not funny without text.
1. Mario behind rush on battlefield: two things I've not wanted to see since week 1.
rating: 6/10
reason: Olimar confirmed we'll actually get new info, two new lovely stages as well.
August:
top posts:
3. X-bomb cause that looks like a ridiculously fun item.
2. Pyrosphere: cool new stage, god that ridley comment though. blast it.
1. Pilotwings red/blue plane shot: god this stage is pretty, made the month.
worst posts:
3. kid icarus stage exploding: everyone predicted the bomb so this shot does nothing.
2. kid icarus stage in pink: we barely get 3DS shots, and this is how you use it?
1. Luigi's nose: the most obnoxious "nothing" post type started this month, never forget.
rating: 6.5/10
reason: Pilotwings is still one of my favourite announced stages, that alone is enough.
September:
top posts:
3. Galaxy Kirby: Should be put in worst for teasing but damn did I want a galaxy stage.
2. Peach: A new character that doesn't lead to luigi nose shots ... well, one maybe.
1. Toon Link: Wait what? two newcomers in a month?! Nice!
worst posts:
3. megaman looking at wft: Even with text this shot isn't funny, for shame.
2.Mario's ring: sakurai super zoomed in shots don't look good. =_=
1. Hole in metroid wall: the only good thing about this shot is not being luigi's nose.
rating: 7/10
reason: Two characters in one week makes up for lack of other info. Toon Link looks great!
October:
top posts:
3. Wii fit trainer's butt: she's so flexible.
2. Sonic: Sure, why not.
1. Male Wii Fit Trainer: Far more interesting than sonic, an alternative costume!
worst posts:
3. Luigi's nose: Surprisingly not the worst shot this week but WHY sakurai? why?
2.Totally empty skyloft shot: Does anyone even like these?
1. Fox's shit ugly teeth, no explanation needed.
rating: 6/10
reason: Relatively low rating cause aside from sonic's out-of-dojo reveal it was pretty empty. A lot of annoying filler shots.
November:
top posts:
3. alternative FE 3DS stage: seriously though what's up with this? nice!
2. Marth: Wow he looks great, if this wasn't galaxy stage month he'd be an easy #1
1. Galaxy stage: damn son.
worst posts:
3. Sonic attacking bowser, I guess: Seriously I even like this shot, this week was p.good.
2. 3DS pikachu without anything goood going on: yeh.
1. Luigi's nose: Bad sakurai, bad.
rating: 7.5/10
reason: Very few genuinly "bad" shots, but not too much noteworthy outside of galaxy + marth.

3. Rainbow Road: Dream stage for me, so glad it made it in. <3 <3 <3
2. Zelda: normally wouldn't necessarily beat the stages but ... that Phantom tho.
1. Rosalina & Luma: How do you beat this?
worst posts:
3. Megaman soccer on a wing: pretty much only filler shot so it belongs here.
2. Pit & Villager looking at yellow dot. Still no answers, obnoxious.
1. Battlefield: THAT TIMING GOD.
at least it wasn't luigi's nose..
rating: 8.5/10
reason: I'd consider rating this week higher but that week long break + battlefield shot don't belong in anything rated higher. A lot of good 3DS shots and the like completely lacked explanation too. By far the best week so far though and part of the reason the other weeks are rated lower.

Honestly a shot I love, but it can be hard to compete with 2 new characters and that galaxy shot was ... well, for me probably still a slight tad better. Hard to say though as that shot is amazing.
