/vr/ - Retro Games

Melee's trophy set is a bit of an overlooked aspect these days. It was the first time that the vast majority of those characters/assets were rendered in that fidelity and it's just for a little side thing. The non-/vr/ games had the luxury of ripping and posing models from existing games.

yeah, Melee had the best trophies for this reason, a lot of them were custom made and in a lot of cases it was the first time the character was in 3D. Following games just ported them from other games

It's my favorite trophy gallery in the whole franchise. lot of good faps back in the day off it. used to crank em out to sheik but there were a lot of good characters in there.

Also melee had the best writing for the descriptions, probably translated better than the sequels

>probably translated better than the sequels
Tell me about it
While Melee got some MK's description a bit wrong, later games just fuck shit up.
>Brawl
spread misinformation to Japanese players about K.Rool's master of disguise trait to him having a brother.
spoiled the entire (condensed) Mother 3 plot to English players when the game was still fresh
>Smash 3DS
overboard with cheap outdated memes
the Kritter trophy had to be patched due to wrong description being displayed
first Smash game to get censored by the CERO rating board before the release ever (RIP the Tharja trophy)
>Smash WiiU
Mr.EAD being a twisted villain created by evil company Nintendo, despite being a good guy in the anime and games.
Even more censorship by CERO assholes
>Ultimate
Flat out gave up trophies and realized there's no reason to shill garbage to kids.
Instead,we just had overhauled stickers, which is already a mixed bag itself.

The Zelda stuff is all over the place...

OoT ReDeads are homunculus created by Ganondorf (yeah right). The Ooccoo wear masks, they're real faces are unknown (I actually believed this shit). The old sages created the Master Sword (it's like Skyward Sword was made just to spite Brawl). Only the Like-Like thing is canon because it's a crude translation of a Japanese proverb.

Most damaging franchise ever just by virtue of bad localization. I don't think we even know the full extent of how badly the trophy gallery has gaslit us.

First time I got Smash 4 and played it, after playing Fox on Final Destination for years in Melee, I was so disappointed. I couldn't Doowop a Skippity Uppity Airslap into a Wavedashed Cockdump Sparklenut. You aren't even allowed to Spitshine a ledgecancelled Dicknob after dibiddybobiddy 2: Electric Boogaloo. Fucking inexcusable. I really hope Sakurai dies so the series can see its full potential.

Bitch tits

>>10295367
I particularly liked all the TECHNOLOGY shit, like being able to rotate them around every which way, and especially changing the lighting. I remember one of the lighting modes made Ganondorf's eyes look like they glowed red, making him look even more menacing. Shit was SO cash for me back in 2001.

Going for out-there trophy picks like Stanley and (at the time) Pit was cool

>>10297008
ReDeads ARE psuedo zombie mobs.
That's true.

>>10295367
As early as Brawl they started ripping everything from other games. Stages, trophies, songs, stickers. Melee truly is a product of its time, and it was in that sweet spot when everything hadn't been homogenized yet

>>10295367
They also all clearly use that same SGI style that you would see on N64 promotion art, which as far as I know is the only game from that era that went for that look. Even games that came out before it like Luigi's Mansion already had the modern designs in place, weirdly enough.

>>10296536
This kind of desperation is something people below a certain age will never understand.

>>10296536
Back in the day you got off to whatever was available. Even as late as 2001 you still had tons of people with shitty-ass dial-up, not to mention porn and hentai weren't as readily accessible and were either in shady-ass sites or all over the place, and a lot of it sucked ass. So it was either that, or fap to the girls in the game or in manual, magazine or strategy guide illustrations. So I'd imagine seeing beautifully 3D-rendered renditions of video game girls that you could rotate and angle any way you want was many a young 'un's boon.

>>10299636
You know what i never even thought of that. That makes them all the more special.

I really wish we knew which Rare characters were originally intended to get trophies.

>i just remembered how much certain trophies scared the SHIT out of me as a little kid
>hiding in the hallway adjacent to my room because cousins would spook me by zooming in on the majoras mask moon trophy
