    I definitely love Brawl’s addition of the mugshot because it’s a lot easier to tell what mode you’re playing. In Melee you can’t tell if you’re playing a time match or if both players were on one stock. In Brawl, you now have the “gradient ellipses of vitality” (name I made up 2 seconds ago) to represent stocks. Now you can tell you were playing a 1 stock match like a fucking psychopath.

    I guess i understand one of your points, that being the inconsistency brought with new character mechanics, but I feel like that inconsistency helps the characters be even more unique, and adds fun and excitement to get to know how they work and figure out how to "master" the character. I do hope for the next smash maybe they introduce a universal UI mechanic so that characters can have access to even more varied moves

    A next Smash Bros really need to reimagine every character that is included. I still think smash and tilt should be two separate buttons, which allows guaranteed inputs but also one new attack: neutral smash. The inputs need some rework too, such as option for dedicated short and full jump if you want, and grab not being just shield+attack since that causes some issues already.

    I want the next Smash game to just throw all convention out the window. Let the player rearrange the ENTIRE fighter select screen, and even have the character tiles remember the last used alt colors.

    • @Sponsie1000
      @Sponsie1000 8 місяців тому +3

      Speaking of throwing out all conventions, l really wanted smashUltimate to have an option in the Controls called "Switch", and when you hold that button your controls get switched to your secondary control scheme. Like, l use TiltStick normally, but then l could make it so that when l hold ZR my right joystick is now set to smash-stick. Sure it's kinda niche, but it'd also be fully optional so no harm no foul :]

      l think casuals probably wont have any use for that since it's probably too overwhelming, but it could be cool for situational techs that require certain alternate control-schemes yeah, that way you can have your regular controls for 99% of the time and have your more niche/specific controls for the few moments you need them. And l'd just like to swap from tilt-stick to smash-stick whenever l happen to break a shield lmao

    Pjiggles made a video about adding more special UI features to older characters such as Wario having a Waft Meter, R.O.B having a fuel meter and Olimar with the Pikmin order. The Wii Remote sounds for Brawl really added more charm to the game, the Megaman, Shulk and Sephiroth ones would’ve been sick. But can we talk about how Melee and Brawl are the only Smash Games where you can move the whole character select screen with the C-Stick? That’s another funny thing I miss.

    Shoutout to the time my older cousin let us use his GameCube at a family event and when we played Melee, my other cousin kept calling the percentage "interest rate"
