Damn, when they're side by side, the changes aren't as huge as they originally appeared. Some characters like Donkey Kong and Bowser look practically identical, and Fox, for some weird ass reason still has a stupid jagged, blocky tail.

Come on. That Kirby is a massive improvement.

General color depth and texture detail are improved, and lighting against character models and materials they hold is looking slick

As in "Heathcliff"
I probably would since I am stuck with my habit. I have been calling this game SSB4 ever since they revealed it at E3 2011.
For abbreviation sake, I probably will. SSB4 in general, or SSB3D for the 3DS and SSBU for the Wii U.

I knew there was something different about Pit.
He now holds the bow with the two blades separate when idle. Which looks totally badass.
This.
It would be awesome.
Now I'll be disappointed if it doesn't happen
Only if you set it to 200% damage.
Mario: Pretty much the same, I like both.
Pit: I kind of like Brawl Pit better somehow.
Samus: New Samus all the way.
Bowser: New Bowser all the way.
Fox, DK: Kind of look the same.
Link: I think I prefer Brawl Link.
Also, Kirby fan OCD observation: his shoes are now pink-ish, like they've been in his own games for quite a while. This makes me happy (even if I always use white or blue Kirby).

IMO all of the characters look better. Especially Mario, Bowser and Samus.
I am sorry brawl samus looks way better than new samus.
You mean cel-shaded? If so, no. They decided to outline the characters so that they can be made out easier in 3DS's small screen.
You know what really excites me about Smash right now?...
We finally get REAL online play!!! And Miiverse will set it off to the next level!! That's exciting. And this thread is proof we're gonna have a friggin awesome community full of competition.
The OT will be banana!! Can't wait to play y'all in the near future. Its gonna be wild!
This makes me wanna boot up brawl and see if people are still playing

Agreed I have high hopes for Smashs online.
Miiverse should make things even better though!
from a distance, yes, but the helmet looks terrible in the close-up and there's something wrong with the shoulder pads
You can have an opinion, I disagree.
This is a forum dude.
Like what you like.
I dissagree

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!! No more tripping!!! WOOO HOOO!!!
SAKARAI!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!
SAKARAI!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!
I like how there's a more cartoony feel to Mario, Bowser and DK. I think it might be the focus on the primary colours that Sakurai mentioned, they just pop out a lot more this time around.
Minor pet peeve: I hope Bowser and DK get their real voice actors this time around, always thought their more monstrous grunts in Brawl sounded weird, especially Bowser.

Yeah, that's it. It looks weird to me, but that may be the close ups. This damn game isn't coming until Q4 2014...I can just feel it.
I don't know what's more mind blowing here, the fact that Brawl's models are SO FUCKING GOOD 5 years later or that the actual SSB4 models look outright better than the renders made for Brawl's still images.
Also, gorgeous lighting and color saturation in Smash 4. I prefer that look way more than anything else in the series.

Well you're comparing both games drastically shrunk down and not at native resolution. Smash 4 is probably at 720p. Blow up Brawl to that and it'll look a mess. Not to mention the art style is more cartoony, as evidenced by Mario's jeans not having that noticeable denim texture and going for something more soft and cloth-like
But Brawl was an incredibly game that doesn't get enough credit. People forget you had 4 highly detailed characters in super busy stages at 60fps! And they had a lightning mode!

I'd rather see some characters as DLC than not at all, you know?
Crono for Smash Bros
Speedwagon
Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
I want to see everyone's alternate colors and those are never shown pretty much until the game is released
Probably not determined until then too.
Where did he say this?
IF they are taking some people out, it probably would be Lucas, Snake and R.O.B
Lucas because he was pretty much an exact copy of Ness.
Snake because the only way he could appear is if MGSV comes to Wii U.
And R.O.B because he wasn't really the best playable character.
I hope in the end when SSB4 is finished that there will be more characters, guess we'll see.
He didn't say it, it's just reductionist thinking from his actual words where he said some characters would be "reduced" going forward for Wii U and 3DS to meet roster parity.

Bulky Samus is the best Samus, the Other M arm cannon looks like a mere pea shooter by comparison, i'm still disappointed Prime Samus got skipped over twice now.
I do like the lights on this newer Samus though.

I know it's Kotaku, they're probably taking the quote out of context, but we might see less characters than we expect
Nope, I feel Samus has never looked better before:
The simpler look does wonders for her.

Some of the images in the comparison video are zoomed in when placed side by side which doesn't help the look (Kirby in particular). Mario, Samus, Bowser, Pit (much better feet) look a lot better.
Link is hit or miss.

New samus looks plastic, toy-ish. I do not like it.
Brawl samus looks like she has armor on, and there is a person in there.

I repost my comparison image for seeing the diferences better.
Fox is, in my opinion, almost identical.
Damn Pikachu looks like a freak in 64
I don't understand EVERYTHING you said.
Because she doesn't have all of those bumps/extra stuff on her armor it makes it look like she doesn't have armor? What?
And it looks like there isn't a person in there? I won't even bother asking how.
Great pic, thanks for creating it. It illustrates the better usage of colours.

Cool pic! And I agree. Outside of the more cartoon-y style from Brawl to For Wii U
P), he looks pretty much the same.I think it would have been cool if they brought the fur shading from DKC:TF to For Wii U. It'd look gorgeous.
