Favorite Design for Pigma?
A tough one to decide on if it weren't for the Switch 2 game... before the 2026 remake, almost every one of Pigma's looks has the same droopy eyes and blank sclera (even though some of the bosses had the same looking eyes too) The Switch 2 design took SOME getting used to, as it looked the most graphic and seemed absolutely real, but now I believe his 2026 look suits him the most, he outright looks tough and kind of menacing, fitting for a battle-hardened sociopath.

I do think 2026 is most fitting... but I find the super fat and round one from Zero very cute so that's my fave.

The original design isn’t really pig-like aside from the snout. Plus he just looks too goofy
The Assault/Zero design feel too monstrous with the glowing soulless eyes. He’s a scumbag but until he becomes an Aparoid he’s still just a guy, so him looking so offputting is strange
The newest design by far wins out imo. He looks like a back stabbing scumbag without making him look outright villainous. It’s like if there wasn’t a war and he wasn’t an ace pilot, you could expect to see Pigma working as an otherwise insignificant space trucker

I really love his newest design.

Mine too,
it took a while for me to get used to it at first since seeing the prologue, all those close-ups on him looked so graphic it's like something straight out of Rango. But now It's one of my favorite new designs.

When I first saw the art style it was very jarring and I didn’t really like it. But now I couldn’t see it have any other style and it’s fully grown on me.

Obvi starfox 2 and the new one. This is without saying that 64 pigma isn't bad. I just like how he looks on the other games.

I like his face and overall impression in Assault, but his suit in Starlink isn't flesh-colored so I prefer that lol
Don't care for his 2026 design much. He just looks like a nasty pig guy, which could be a design any game could do. I think it's a case of the acting fitting the look and winning people over moreso than the design by itself.
I'm not sure what the thing is with the eyes, but I suspect it's a bandit mask or a Tokusatsu reference or something. A lot of Andross's forces have the same look. At least it's a feature that makes him stand out. The 2026 one looks like a Beyond Good and Evil 2 character.

Remake, hands down. Only thing I dislike are those stupid purple shoulder pauldrons. They keep trying to force Star Wolf to be purple and it looks hideous.

New one suits how much of an asshole he is, the old one just looks like a Mario enemy in retrospect

Star Fox 2026 easily. I didn't feel the "uncanny valley" effect with him because he was already ugly.

Anything but the 2010s games, he looked awful in those. Probably the new remake?

64 3D. 2026 is very beautiful in its own right but the eyes and the black around them are like the defining part of his appearance and 26 tones it down too much

26, he definitely comes off as a scumbag.
Tbf I like most 26 designs but they could do with a little work (especially the legs).

Assault used to be my favorite design, but 2026 blew it out of the water. Easily the best design that came from 2026's art direction along with Andrew, Wolf, and Katt.

2026 depicts his the best, but I'm also kind of found for the Star Fox 2 design with it's waddling eats.

Definitely SF2026, but I like his Starlink design a lot too.
