Heya people--Just hear me out on this one. There's a trend I've noticed going around recently, and I've always had this on my mind but have never really said it. Bright colors are cool and all, but simply upping the saturation isn't gonna make it look good. Here are some points I thought up: -The colors don't even resemble Smash 4 -The skin becomes an orange-ish oompa loompa spray tan. Don't saturate the skin, please. -It doesn't work on all characters, like Marth for example. His color scheme calls for a midnight blue, and it's a calming color that's supposed to be cool. When you up the saturation, it looks more obnoxious. Here's how people tend to view smash 4 style: And here's how it actually looks: You feel me?

I think the interest comes from it being very easy to do, and is hard to make it look like a "hack job" (no pun intended) I'm guilty of making a saturated Charizard, but yeah he is a dragon-ish thing, also made another one of him super bright green with rim lighting to make him "glow" but at least I took my time to smooth lines, touch up discolored parts and applied some filters and some freehand stuff on highlights to further make him look like he glows.
Just praise the lord that most people are refraining from using MS paint.

I feel you, glad I'm not the only one that thought this. Skin for sure is the thing that's most obnoxious under the effects, but sadly, the laziest ones aren't willing to make the effort to unmask just the skin. Effort!

Just stop browsing the brawlvault. It's not worth it.

Sympathizing? No, no, I just want to see you suffer.

People love to abuse the saturation slide too much.

You want to know what's ironic?
Other users have made threads to complain about some of the poorly done stuff on the Vault, and they were met with negative criticism and arguments. I don't see why you and this thread should get a pass.
There will always be poorly done Mods on the Vault. The Vault is a big example for Sturgeon's Law.

In the end this is just fun, it's not serious business and for most people even getting wiibrew to work is an accomplishment with all the over-easy to use UI out there the new generation is surprisingly not so tech savvy. Do I think poorly done hacks should be posted? no, but do I care? not so much.

I do agree, I agree a lot but there being ugly hacks isn't going to make the Vault terrible. I mean, the people doing these saturation recolors are the newbies to Brawl modding so let them be newbies, they'll learn in time. We're still getting recolored Sonic Shadow hacks and recolored Sonic fan character hacks when importing is already big.
Would it be nice if they weren't here? Yes. Is it going to stop such people from doing so? Most likely not so it's best to just not care.

Just because they do this sort of [censored] doesn't mean it's suddenly "okay" to make [censored]ty hacks and upload them everywhere.
It's even worse when there's enablers just like these last two saying "hey its okay to make [censored]".

I agree that the Vault is mostly poor in quality, but I was just stating the irony of this thread, due to every other thread being met with backlash, arguments, and trolling. I just didn't think this thread should get a pass for whatever reason. One way to tell if a person is a noob or a new person is to see if they can take criticism. Currently, most of us are just making threads and posts to complain about poor mods on the Vault. We should at least try to make a difference. Even if we think it will have a minuscule impact. If a user makes a thread for their mods, don't be afraid to make a post with proper criticism of their work. Just make sure you avoid saying their work flat out sucks (even if it is true most of the time).

Seriously, it's like everybody wants to make their own "Wii U version" to the point that every smash bros U has at probably even 5 versions (in the same browsing character page). Some versions has actual model modifications, but most of them are just saturated textures... Indeed, Who am I to complain? I don't even make characters with good textures and I do like some of these saturated things, but I agree on the point that there are too many of them to the point that it starts to become depressing now... I wonder if there are now more saturated texture characters than Shadows, Clouds, Roys and Mewtwos.. Nah, not yet.. YET..

Well while we're on the subject of things on the Vault that annoy people...
One thing that grinds my gears is people slapping the Rim effect on every single thing. :L
