Instead of talking about Joker and Custom Stage let's discuss a fairly obscure theme: The Artstyle. Which game had the best and worst artstyle in the series? For me Ultimate has the best and Melee the worst.
Also post your favorite character renders from any Smash game.
Brawl was the worst, not Melee. >haha what if we made smash dark and edgy >let's name it X OOOH THE EEEDGE >add more grit and use some latinshit for the theme Really.

Melee was the best. Then it got progressively more soulless. And somehow ultimate has worse graphics than Wii u

Funny enough I always thought the 3DS looked the best

While it's true that Brawl's "realistic" aesthetics may not be to everyone's liking, you have to admit that it makes the characters more consistent. For example, giving cooler color tones to characters like Yoshi and Kirby makes them contrast less with other characters, and giving "realistic" textures to characters' clothes and weapons gives them a more detailed look than would otherwise be difficult to achieve on a low-powered console like Wii.
And Mushroomy Kingdom's realistic, post-apocalyptic style is great.

3DS > Brawl > 64 > Ultimate > Melee > WiiU

Dynamic lighting that no one will ever notice unless they're highly autistic and pause the game and zoom in on a pixel takes up a lot of rendering time so they downgraded everything so the switch could run it.

BOTW Link is a garbage design outside of BOTW's artstyle

I like Ultimate's style but it kinda bothers me how washed out some characters can look at times.
There's also minor visual errors that annoy me. Like as a Villager main, it bothers me how the white Villagers' eyelids are darker than the rest of their skin now. They're supposed to be lighter. And turnip Villager's eyes aren't supposed to have the thick brown outline when closed, but to be fair that's been a problem since Sm4sh.

Wii U has the best. I don't like that ugly rendering engine they made for Ultimate.

64,melee, 3ds have soul

Hate or love the tourneyfaggotry, Melee aged pretty fucking well for a game from 2001 you uncultured pigs. Only underage zoomer faggots would defend tr4sh and the artstyle & music that was hamfisted into that abomination
>ssbwiki.com/Bridge_of_Eldin fucking look at the Wii U version, they literally ported the Brawl stage instead of actually remaking it

Hero of the wild tunic is so embarassing Give us OOT or TP tunics, not this gay shit
Aaron Parker
Absolutely. How they made it so characters like Solid Snake didn't clash with others was the result of the art style.
