TSR's Super Smash Bros Thread|SWITCH HYPE TRAIN NOW BOARDING

[TomGuycott]

I'm impressed Koopaul. With you at the helm, the development cycle of Smash Bros would take at LEAST 14 years. A new record.



In all seriousness though, those ideas definitely aren't resonating with me, for these reasons:

-The Smash Ball floats around randomly because it forces the players to approach it while also interact with each other, forcing them to fight for it. Having it stationary makes it an easy pick-up to the person it appeared beside.

-The Power Meter exists as a homage to the actual Punch Out power meter, and either removing it or giving it to other players makes it feel less of an homage and makes Little Mac seem less original.

-The main reason Ryu has two Final Smashes is that in Street Fighter games, after a certain point characters would be given two ultra moves a piece. There was a time when you had to select just one before going into a fight, but one of the most recent iterations of Street Fighter IV allowed two to be used.

-Like I mentioned before, adding so many final smashes for each character, while not difficult to conceptualize, especially for characters with an abundance of moves, mythos and gadgetry to choose from, would add months and months to development time PER character. This would be pretty redundant too, seeing that as it stands, there is maybe 2 characters who have original Final Smashes. All others recycle either functionality or execution.
