Spirits are shit
I miss trophies

I remember a few anons trying to gaslight people into thinking that a spirit was good just because it came from an obscure game. You could line up your trophies together for some fun antics and get a blurb with them. Spirits don't even have that, and the same copypasted event matches aren't good either.

They probably aren’t coming back. Spirits don’t have to be modeled and they play into the whole gacha thing that Japan likes.

True, it suck's nintendo is a small indie company and the smash series is so obscure
>they play into the whole gacha thing that Japan likes
Picrel

Trophies were soul and way better than gay ass spirits.
Would play Melee all by myself trying to get all trophies.

>Smash fans view a character making literally any kind of non-playable appearance as a personal insult
>trophies are static 3D models that just sit there
>making a brand new model means wasting time on something that doesn't do anything
>porting a model from another game is just lazy
>the whole mess when Smash 4 leaked where people were crying about characters appearing as trophies, calling them "death sentences" just like they did for assist characters and spirits

I'm expected to believe people liked these?

Trophies ended up just being imported from other games anyway

Get ready for 1000 new spirits in the Ultimate Switch 2 upgrade.

Anyone else get all the trophies legitimately?
I did it in Brawl and it was a huge pain to get the stickers trophy.

zoomers don't want trophies anymore

>>714893797 (OP)
I don't mind that much 3d trophies being replaced by 2d spirits. However I hate that they removed trophies description. It was a good occasion to learn more about characters and lesser known games, now when you collect a spirit you don't know anything about what they are beside the game they are from (are most doesn't even say the exact game, just XXXXX series).

Chibi robo and funky kong for smash

people forgot just how many zelda trophies in brawl were from WW and TP

>>714895538
not really. a lot of trophies of the same characters aren't even the same models from other smash games, and a lot of them are characters that have never even had a 3D model before.

>>714894334
Absolutely. It’s not even about the modeling workload-it’s that they couldn’t be assed to give the spirits any flavor. Trophies had that little paragraph of charm, like a virtual museum. You learned weird trivia or just appreciated obscure characters getting spotlight. Now we get JPEG + “from the [insert series] series” and that’s it. Literally soulless.

mom caught me beating off to the misty trophy.

Only after Brawl, when it was clear that fan favorites were getting shafted over adverts and 3rd parties.

I miss 'em

I rather them not waste dev time on trophies

funny enough it became obvious that they were just taking images from google images for the spirits. the masked man spirit was taken directly from someone's deviantart page. while similar to the original sprite, the deviant art user made some slight changes to it, and those changes were present on the spirit in smash ultimate when it first released. they even changed it in a later update.

The only thing I like about Spirits is that they allowed Smash to acknowledge video games made before the Wii again. Brawl onward just being shameless 3D model copy pasting meant older games were left in the cold.

the funny part is that pyra and mythra already had spirits in the base game, and they were made playable anyway.
