Min Min's Arms and Smash models are an almost 1:1 match with minor edits and a few deviations
why is Sakurai reusing assets instead of making them specifically for smash? and why is it taking so long for characters to drop if they're reusing models?

Leo Sullivan
>reinventing the wheel
so uh you just pretending to be retarded or
Leo Adams

You think the hardest part of making a fighting game character is the model? Are you fucking dumb?
Aaron Robinson
>why is Sakurai reusing assets instead of making them specifically for smash?
Because that's how game development works.
>why is it taking so long for characters to drop if they're reusing models?
Do you honestly think modeling takes up even a significant amount of what goes into making a character?
Hudson Martin
Because she's the same character in both games, retard.
Both titles are current gen too. Why fucking rebuild a model from scratch when a perfectly usable model already exists?
Get your head checked. You've got deficiencies.
Leo Russell
I didn't know Arms characters can change into different Arms in the same game too? Nevermind they can't, forgot 90% of Smash fags bitch about "muh Arms representation for Nigger folk" but haven't played the game.
Logan Ward
I forgot to point out, changing their Arms during battle in the original game.
Jeremiah Long
why would he make a completely new model for absolutely no reason?
modeling is only a small fraction of the development
Julian Diaz
yeah it's pretty fucking lazy to reuse a model especially when every single one is crafted for the game
but apparently it's not a big deal to anyone here
Ryan Lopez
This is nothing new, Melee and Brawl reused models with only a few edits
It also makes sense in this regard since Min-Min was already designed in mind for a fighting game

If hte existing model is a good enough quality there's no need to make a new one just for smash. That's just plain inefficient.
The character takes time to drop for two reasons:
1. There's way more development to do besides just modelling hte character. You have to decide what their moveset will be, animate, test, balance, re-animate, re-test etc. until the character is finally ready to be placed into the game
2. Spreading out the releases is part of what keeps people coming back to smash. Not to say the game wouldn't have been fine if every character released as DLC was in teh game from the start, but the continual hype cycle that occurs with every new fighter added helps keep Smash fresh in peoples' minds.
Hudson Johnson
Honestly if Smash is the left then either the model got decimated a little or it got slimmed down on the polys. You can notice minute traces of differences and missing bits here and there.

>why does Minmin look like Minmin
Camden Foster
Smash model is the one on the left, yes. They slimmed her legs a bit.
Noah Thompson
Man just wait until you find out about Joker's models, Luminary's model, Terry's skeleton, the cameo models on KoF Stadium, and the cameo models on Garreg Mach.
Robert Sanders
They're clearly not the same though
Sebastian Cruz
Why fix what aint broke? Except they also did to make her fit.
Logan Martin
animations
moveset+balancing
testing
creating stage
picking soundtrack
supplementary stickers
creating a video to put on youtube
gee I dunno user
John Brooks
It was a big deal when the pokemon game came out, but only because devs said the models would be remade, and they weren't. Nobody cares about reusing models, if devs aren't being deceptive about it.
Adrian Thomas
I remember figuring out about majora's mask 3ds remake before it was announced because of the way skull kid's trophy was modeled in smash bros.
Adrian Cox
i dont even play Smash
Jonathan Wood
>why is Sakurai reusing assets instead of making them specifically for smash?
Take a good hard look at Min Min's model. I'm sure making an entirely new model for Min Min is just as big a pain in the ass as animating Cell in any form of DBZ media.
Jace Barnes

If the model fits into the Smash workflow, why change it?
>tris fit the standard count per character
>shading and texture maps were pbr in ARMS too
Just adapt some proportions and it's set. Why waste time editing minor details when you could spend it making a new model for DoomGuy?
Nathan Turner
why would he remake it from scratch? seems like a wast of money
Gavin Taylor
The real question is why there is no 3d animated porn of her if we've had her 3d model since ARMS?
Lucas Gutierrez
why create it from scratch if it already exists
Zachary Clark
Too old.
Wyatt Watson
Her arms are baisically tentacles, they are extremely hard to animate.
Thomas Russell
In 2D they would be kind of a pain but 3D is fairly easy since squashing/stretching shapes doesn't take much effort with the right tools and good rigging.
