Super Smash Bros. 4 Model Project

[Plino]

Ah, I see. So if I'm understanding you correctly, its sort of like with figures, where rather than there being a single "hand model" that is manipulated into different poses, the 3DS will use multiple hand models, each with a static pose (i.e. clenched fist for holding a weapon is swapped out with an open hand when picking up an item with that hand)? I'm guessing this is less exhaustive on the hardware, which is why it's used for 3DS and 8-player Smash?
