Forum:SSB4 head icons

Here's the deal. SSB4-U textures are being ripped and I have the head icons. They are exactly the same as the 3DS ones (even the same size, at 64x64px) - but with two caveats. One, they're of slightly higher quality; look at the 3DS head icons and you'll see compression artifacts that the Wii U ones don't have. Two, Pac-Man is in a notably different pose (with his other arm showing); no other character has a noticable difference.

So, here we need to decide what exactly to do. To lay everything out, SSB4 has a sum total of 3 head icon sets:
 * 1) The 3DS ones that we currently have.
 * 2) The Wii U ones, which are of higher quality (though probably imperceptible when used at reduced size), and with a single character (Pac-Man) in a clearly different pose.
 * 3) The mini 3DS ones, which are unique and 16x16px, but have no potential usage on-wiki other than maybe a "this is what they look like" on the alt costume page.

No matter what we do, we need to have both of Pac-Man's because they're notably different. So: Should we upload the entirety of sets 1 and 2 (with "SSB4-3" and "SSB4-U" names) just because of this? Does Pac-Man get a unique "SSB4-3" set while everyone's heads are just "SSB4"? Do we care about set 3? Toomai Glittershine The Cloronic 19:02, 10 February 2015 (EST)


 * I think we should upload all of the Wii U ones as just SSB4 (so that we dont have to change them everywhere they appear), and then upload Pac-Man's 3DS one as a seperate file and add it only to the Pac-Man (SSB4) page (or anywhere else it would be worth putting). ♡ FirstaLasto ♥  21:53, 10 February 2015 (EST)


 * I'm failing to see why we wouldn't want to just have both, with the head icon template defaulting "SSB4" to "SSB4-U" unless specified to the 3DS version. Miles ( talk)   21:59, 10 February 2015 (EST)
 * Oh, if thats possible, then sure, makes sense. ♡ FirstaLasto ♥  22:01, 10 February 2015 (EST)
 * The reason why we might not want to have both of 1 and 2 is that, aside from Pac-Man, there is no practical difference between the two, and thus one of them will go almost completely unused.

 * They'd be good to have around for reference purposes, and it would technically be more accurate to use the 3DS head icons for early SSB4 tourneys on the 3DS, for example. Miles ( talk)   22:28, 10 February 2015 (EST)
 * In all honesty, I don't see why the other characters should have an extra file when they don't really need it; that being said, I'd say use all the Wii U head icons on the main character box, but put a trivia point over here and show the 3DS head sprite in the same section to show the difference (akin to these two sections). I do support Miles's proposal, however, where we would use the 3DS head sprites for older 3DS tournaments. [[File:AidanzapunkSignaturesmall.PNG]] Aidan the   Aura Master  09:18, 11 February 2015 (EST)
