Super Smash Bros 4 Characters Leg and Arm Positions to Be Mirrored When Facing Different Directions
Super Smash Bros 4 characters leg and arm positions will be mirrored when facing left or right in order to always show their best angle.
Masahiro Sakurai detailed this aspect of the game in the two pics of the day he released earlier today.
The first of these featured two Marios facing off against one another.
"The leg and arm positions of some characters will automatically be mirrored when facing left or right. Mario, for example, will have his chest shown in the foreground regardless of whether he's facing right or left. This was quite a tedious task, but thanks to it we can show the best features of each character even better," he said.
The second picture featured Kirby and Bowser facing themselves.
"Here's another example: in the previous games, you saw the back of Kirby's head when facing left. Now Kirby looks great from any angle," continued Sakurai.
Nintendo confirmed to IGN last month that the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros will launch sometime in the summer this year. Wii U fans will have to wait until the winter to get their hands on this epic fighting title.
Sakurai discussed how multiplayer will work in the game with IGN. He stated that players can play online with friends and can also engage in a handful of different multiplayer modes. There will be two distinct forms for multiplayer including "For Fun" and "For Glory."
For Fun only records players wins, and pits opponents against each other in random stages that include all items. For Glory levels the playing field by removing items and setting every match on a Final Destination version of certain levels. Wins and Losses will be tracked in For Glory.
