Sakurai's development strategies are so goofy and we love him for that.

Absolutely. That man is clearly the best game designer to ever exist.

​@ForeverPlayerTwo I have a few reasons why he may not be the best but I do agree he's one of the best in the gaming industry, he is by far the only one who understands these characters more than any developer

[@roga5326]

@@ForeverPlayerTwo I respect Sakurai and Miyazaki for their works but I do want to raise Naoki Yoshida, who revived a bad game (Final Fantasy XIV 1.0) and transformed it into one of the best MMORPG experiences the genre has to offer with amazing expansions after A Realm Reborn in the form of Heavensward, Shadowbringers and Endwalker.

Meh, some of his design choices are pretty bad. Look at how bad the Zelda franchise is represented. Then, look at Steve , Sonic, and kazuya. They are waaaay overpowered.

[@mobiuswrx2137]

I remember hearing a legitimate criticism of smash ultimate saying that the ambient lighting was too dark, making it hard to see your character effectively. Especially in group battles and on darker stages with darker characters and skins

[@skapaloka222]

yeah its a real issue, ive lost battles against easy opponents on luigis mansion online, i know cuz i kicked their ass as soon as they rematched. visibility is not a primary concern of the smash team, some stages are very noisy and some make certain characters impossible to see in gameplay with some skins. ive even been the problem a couple times, and changed my preferred skins to not be an issue.

[@mobiuswrx2137]

@skapaloka222 it really is a problem that should be fixed

[@AllanGuiHaya70]

Is this why they removed Black Yoshi?

Darker skin? Based

They could have just given him his enderman particles and he'd be impossible to miss

[@apelsin9094]

[@Antonio-is2cn]

That's cute a minigame for Enderman!

[@NINTENDO_FAN_85]

In theory, Enderman could be hidden and proceed to come out of hiding, just to kill an opponent, while the opponent still didn't have any knowledge of Enderman's present. Hiding and then performing a surprise kill is something that you would find in a horror movie. Who would have thought Smash could act like a horror movie? Am I right?

[@cullenhutchison6528]

Enderman (Zombie) makes smash a horror movie for competitive players.

[@DrSpeedical]

That’s cool, anyway, how to build a particle accelerator: 1. Get a Particle Source: To start, you need a source of charged particles. Protons are a common choice, and they can be created by stripping electrons from hydrogen atoms, leaving positively charged protons behind. Alternatively, you could use electrons, which can be generated using a simple cathode or electron gun. The type of particle you choose depends on the kind of experiments or applications you have in mind. 2. Build a Vacuum Chamber: The particle accelerator needs a vacuum environment for particles to travel without hitting air molecules. Even small interactions with air can slow the particles down or knock them off course. To create this, build a long, sealed metal tube and use vacuum pumps to remove as much air as possible, achieving near-vacuum conditions. This tube is where the particles will travel during acceleration. 3. Install Electromagnets for Steering and Focusing: Charged particles don’t naturally travel in straight lines, so electromagnets are used to steer and focus the particle beam. Wrap copper wire into coils (solenoids) or use specialized electromagnets around sections of the vacuum chamber. These magnets will bend and direct the particles, especially in circular or curved accelerators like a cyclotron or synchrotron. The magnets also focus the beam so it doesn't spread out as it travels. 4. Add RF Cavities for Acceleration: The particles need to be accelerated to near the speed of light for many experiments. This is done using radio frequency (RF) cavities, which create oscillating electric fields. As particles pass through each cavity, the field gives them an extra "kick" of energy, speeding them up. You need to set up multiple RF cavities along the vacuum tube if you’re building a linear accelerator, or place them strategically in circular designs like synchrotrons to increase the particles’ energy with every lap. 5. Set Up a High-Voltage Power Supply: To power the RF cavities and electromagnets, you’ll need a high-voltage power supply. It must be carefully controlled and synchronized to ensure that the RF fields accelerate the particles at the right time, and that the electromagnets are properly tuned to guide them. Depending on the scale of your accelerator, the power requirements could be substantial. 6. Install Detectors to Measure Particles: Once the particles are moving at high speeds, you’ll want to monitor their behavior, especially if you're aiming for collisions. Detectors are placed around the end of the accelerator or at key points where the particle beam will interact with targets. These detectors can measure things like particle energy, trajectories, or the results of particle collisions if you’re performing experiments. 7. Add Cooling Systems: If your accelerator is large or uses superconducting magnets, you’ll need cooling systems, such as liquid helium, to keep the magnets at cryogenic temperatures. Superconductors lose all electrical resistance at these temperatures, allowing for extremely efficient and powerful magnets. Even if your setup doesn’t require superconductors, cooling may be necessary to prevent overheating in the RF cavities and electromagnets. 8. Set Up a Computer-Controlled System: Since many aspects of the accelerator need precise timing and synchronization, you’ll need a computer to control the RF cavities, power supply, and magnets. The system will automatically adjust the power and electromagnetic fields in real-time to ensure the particles remain on track and accelerate smoothly. This computer also collects data from the detectors and can adjust the experiment based on results. 9. Test and Calibrate the System: Once everything is in place, it’s time to test the accelerator. Initially, you’ll fire low-energy particles through the system to check if the vacuum, magnets, and RF cavities are working correctly. You may need to tweak the alignment of the magnets and fine-tune the power settings to ensure the particle beam accelerates efficiently. During this stage, data from the detectors will help you see if the particles are reaching the expected speeds. 10. Run Experiments or Particle Collisions: Once the accelerator is fully functional, you can start running experiments. In a particle collider, for example, you can direct two particle beams to collide at extremely high speeds, creating conditions similar to those just after the Big Bang. The detectors will capture the resulting particles and interactions, allowing you to study fundamental physics. If you’re not colliding particles, you can still study their behavior at high speeds or use them to hit a specific target.

[@alucardsantradideus267]

I feel like the easy solution would've been to make him drop glowing particles. And of course the glowing purple eyes

[@Grave_Digger-thegreatest]

We need a new gamemode where the seeker is a bright character (sonic luigi or link) and the hiders are dark characters like the enderman skin

[@joshua1846]

I'm still amazed on how they even get steve into Smash brawl, literally used to watch mods on minecraft of this back then when i was 10. This is so crazy

[@quinncochran1318]

Fun fact. I used to have a game and watch main friend who would only pick omega 72M. Game and watch was almost invisible, as if he needed the help.

[@bug1gub225]

This could be a genuine mini game, imagine that on the loading screen you have the option to access a mini game to find a character hidden on the screen, as well as being a way of testing the player's color blindness and whether the skin doesn't get in the way

[@lorenzobenini7031]

i mean yeah this sort of stuff is going to be a problem when making an enemy meant to hide in darkness into a playable character

[@Silversteene]

I do wish they made him a little taller. It could be a hidden setting in the game or something but It’d be nice

[@RedsByrd]

That’s funny because any change to the character requires them to separate them into 2 characters. I believe Sakura said in aninterview, that the only reason Lucia is a character is because they wanted to make her a skin, but she’s shorter than Marth so they had to make her a character. The sword changes were made after.

[@TheNessProduct]
