It's time we saved Smash Ultimate...

- I think we may have overlooked one of the biggest additions to Super Smash Bros Ultimate since the start of the game, and that is the Final Smash Meter. Especially if we might have another generation of Ultimate if they go the Deluxe route for the Switch 2, we need to switch it up - and here's how.

There's something incredibly important to note- while you have Final Smash, you are not able to use your neutral B.
This is negligible for characters like Peach/Daisy, where neutral B is not an important part of their kit, it's incredibly important for characters like Mr. Game and Watch. Mr. Game and Watch will lose access to his best ledge trapping tool, Wolf will lose blaster, Mario will lose fireball, etc.
It's an incredibly interesting albeit minor detail that will intensely reshape how a character uses their Final Smash.
Steve cannot Mine or place blocks while holding his Final Smash! Huge nerf
Shulk loses all his Monados, Mega loses his Blade, Joker loses his gun, there are characters that actually suffer from having final smash meter active
I feel like this would absoiutely mess up Rosalina, because she can't position her Luma correctly
"Mario will lose fireball"
nah he gets the bigger one
Not a big deal at all
They missed that Joker can attempt his Final Smash a second time if the first hit wiffs.
if you use your control stick to go the other way.
Final Smashes for the remainder of Smash Bros Ult is honestly a good way to bring people back, IMHO.
This hard changes the meta lol. Some characters will rise and many will fall.
@@frosticle6409but it doesn’t change what most of us are against: defensive play. And it only makes the problems in the current meta worse.
the problem is some final smashes are just broken or straight ass. the FE characters have easy kills at 0, while some are pretty useless
@@KeleuHerdley Only positive is that Steve can't use block/craft/mine while he has final smash. He has to stop camping
@@KeleuHerdley Actually, the video isn't referring to putting the Smash Ball in tournaments. It's adding the *_FINAL SMASH METER_* that it's addressing.
9:46 Luigi finally deciding to use 0.00001% of his power
Its just Luigi being pecking weird as usual.
In 15:21 That Zelda Final Smash Hitbox is a Freakin Doritos Hitbox lol
Nah man, that's the triforce of absurd windboxes.
I got grabbed by Zelda final smash through the thickest portion of FD.
If everyone is busted... no one will be
14:43 Probably the best description of a final smash I have ever heard.
Slight correction on the Peach Final Smash: When FS meter is on, you won’t fall asleep when you’re on ledge or in the air in general. This works even at kill percents. Additionally, at lower percents, you can mash out of sleep.
that used to be the case, but they patched it out. Ever since hero was added, they seemed to shadow buff peaches final smash to let it put people to sleep in the air too. give it a try in training mode if you dont believe me. I'm not sure how it works at ledge anymore though.
Yeah it's not as great as it seems
@@AndreBabaniyeah but you can still more or less dodge it by using some UpBs or trying to air stall if she don't use it just above you
Talking from experience here
@@AndreBabani I’ve already experimented with it recently and that’s how I discovered. Peach’s Final Smash doesn’t work the same way when Meter is used instead of the ball. The ball you sleep pretty much no matter what, but with meter, it’s much easier to try and avoid
When the games meta starts to get so unbalanced, you need mild RNG to balance it out lol
Is meter rng?
@@Clover298 no i think they're thinking of smash ball
not unbalanced tho
Final smashes in competitive ULT would be badass.
zelda players eating with this one
I’ve been SAYING
Fun in general lol.
True, adding this to competitive ult would make the game feel new again😂
I could see it if they turned off smash balls. Too many characters can cheese the ball itself.
“Zelda’s isn’t that crazy cuz you have to be at 100%”
Sir you can throw them off stage and use it next to the blast zone
yeah lol not to mention you can do that from ACROSS THE STAGE
@@Tomfoolery_Inc.it’s weaker with the smash meter version
something that the competitive pokemon scene does is have a "restricted format" every couple of years where legendaries are allowed and somsthing like that for smash would be great for the scene
the legendaries being the final smashes
Final Smash meter should be allowed in comp. It would make the weaker characters more viable, and it would make watching it way more interesting. Also, allow more stages.
And it would nerf sonic because of his terrible final smash.
@@toast2110 and game&watch
I'm torn, because I want that, but then Peach would be absolutely broken.
How on earth would it make low tier characters more viable? The high tier characters would have smash meter as well, and most final smashes are basically just instant kill cutscenes. Everything would just even out in the end and just be more boring. Casuals, I swear man…
@@metroidfoosion73 Because there are a handful of low-tier characters that have OP Final Smashes.
Adding the FS meter and legalizing “controversial stages” is the solution. Maybe even moving to a best of 3 format is a good move. Best of 5 is really only necessary for top 8s.
Like what stages? Yoshi's? Mementos? Surely not castle fuck castle and it's stupid wall in front the of camera lmao
(Genuinely curious what you have in mind)
@@exister6652 I know Lylat and Fountain of Dreams are controversial stages. ;)
@@exister6652 Lylat Cruise and Fountain of Dreams.
Problem I have with that is it doesn't really shake things up at all, unless you had hazards on, which... hey, maybe
@@exister6652Wario Ware, Yoshi’s Island, Lylat, maybe Frigate. All of these with items off of course.
I hope this is a new chapter in Smash. You can carry us there. Im behind it. I aporeciate all of your love and dedication to this game. Never change Hbox.
If final smashes were more balanced, or if there were multiple levels of supers like in traditional meter fighting games. Zelda's is just insane and meanwhile marth can just kill himself with his if you miss
You can cancel Marth's final smash
Marth isn't killing himself. You're killing him
Marth, Lucina, and Cloud (his does the same thing dash wise) only enter the blast zone if you are in the air when using the FS. If you are not, it auto-cancels at the ledge.
We need final smashes to be added into ultimate frame data
Wait! That means Terrys can do the sick tech of comboing from Buster Wolf into his Final Smash in competitive!!
I will definitely be tuning in to the next Final Smash Meter singles tourney HBox hosts
Shiek finally has kill power!
I'd like to mention the fact that u can actually use final smashes like lucario and zss to recover back to center stage and u can dodge peach final smash by just staying in the air for the duration of the move (it's not easy but some characters can do it) and I would totally watch a meter on tournoment
One thing that may be worth mentioning about Robin's final smash is that if you land it, all of his resources get replenished
47:58 onward
final smash 0-death combos on all characters
44:23 Oh, that's where his victory meat went.
Idk if you’ll see this HBOX but man thank you for core memories of my childhood. Your melee career made me start playing video games and has connected with many of my current friends. Hope I get to buy you a beer in the future and talk it up.
lol, I was looking for the vod of this coinbox just earlier today
I always didn’t really like competitive because how much stuff was disabled, glad to see some experimentation on the competitive format
At this point it really doesn’t even matter since competitive Super Smash Bros ultimate is dead at this point. No it’s not the characters like Steve, Sonic, Mr Game & Watch that ruined the game.
We def need to use this format to test it and execute it
If final smashes are ever added. Itll be fun for a month while its new (like steve was), then it'll be super boring cause the super OP final smash characters will have cheese to kill at 0 thats even easier then it is right now.
I have been waiting for that since the game has been released, a major with smash meter would be incredible!
can you link the original video creator in the description/pinned comment please?
if we made fs meter legal zelda would jump to C tier
Zelda and Peach/Daisy were the most painfully guilty culprits justifying a Smash Meter ban but in hindsight none of the other DLC characters have broken Final Smashes as good as their so it might actually be a decent idea to try it out for a hot minute.
sonic, steve and rob are boring to watch, bring back the smash meter, thats probably why sakurai included them outside of the item anyways.
palutena, peach and rob have strong ones sure, but i'd rather see peach use the final smash and probably lose, then a tournament with 50 steves
@@heartnet40 Can’t you just simply ban them?
25:16 Agreed. And the funny thing is that all the kids and full-time elite smash players won't agree with it
The thing that doesn't seem to be mentioned about Zelda's final smash is, yes, you die above 100%...but the move does upwards of 50% when you hit it. You will almost certainly die if you're at 60%, anywhere on the stage
I think this would work if shield could block final smashes. Then sometimes they get blocked, sometimes it breaks the shield or greatly reduces it, or could parry it.
As a long time Smash player, the idea is actually pretty interesting. It's basically like Overdrives in Guilty Gear Strive. The strong characters are already strong, so this doesn't change much for them. Meanwhile, weaker characters get a massive buff to their play-making potential. In addition, you gain access to risky but rewarding counterplay against characters that may have obnoxious or broken neutral specials. For instance, Steve can't block camp if he has his Final Smash, Shulk can't use his Monado Arts, and Pikachu can't Tjolt. This would make a lot more matchups more volatile and nuanced, where a player's ability to play around and utilize Final Smashes could be a pivotal factor in how the game turns out. It feels like FS meter was added to be competitively viable, because unlike items, it's not RNG-based by any means. For this reason, I see no problem with using it. Paired with a more diverse stage list, this would actually actually make for a very fun ruleset that would still be viable for competitive play.
It's fun to change things up sometimes, makes things feel fresh in an old game.
One thing to consider (idk if he mentioned it) is that hero and shulk's buffs make their final smashes much stronger
Where can I watch that FS meter tourney?
Haven’t seen the whole thing so maybe he addresses it, Dark Pit backthrow -> buffered Final Smash is true at 0% from both Ball and Meter (on ledge). Is it a hyperspecific timing? Yes, but it’s bonkers to do a drag down->back throw->Final Smash and pro DPs (not me) can def make it consistent
Advent children alt cloud final smash always sends the direction he faces
Meter Final Smash sounds like a great idea. It will have a different meta, naturally, but it’s the boost the scene needs.
It’s crazy that I’ve had this game since its release and I don’t know what the final smashes do.
I actually agree for final smashes, but disagree with the meter concept for characters that are broken like peach or Zelda Just getting it for free.
If you actually have to fight for the smash ball, wouldn’t that be more fair?
No because only the most mobile of characters will ever get the Final Smash, and it's an improved Final Smash at full power.
It doesnt seem broken, but remember how dominant Sonic is and suddenly Smash Ball is a real bad idea.
@@heartnet40 Though Sonic's FS, even the full power one, is pathetic, though he would deny you the Smash ball...
no, traditional fighting games don’t use stuff like that because it turns what starts as a competitive fight into a scramble which can be easier for other characters with better movement, not including the rng that takes place with the balls placement
Having Final Smash meter on is basically like having Smash 4 rage. It rewards people for losing. I think if we were to turn it on, 4 stocks would be necessary.
Meter doesn’t just regain by losing health
Not really. It also rewards you for playing aggressive.
@@SaltyToad00 you get meter like twice as fast by getting hit. fight a lvl 1 cpu with meter turned on, see how fast u get meter by playing aggresive vs how fast the cpu gets it by getting hit.
Finally, little mac has a recovery move
Ive liked having fs meter on when playing with friends, mainly to give them a chance since im a sweat, buts also because its fun as hell
I think the best way to save smash ultimate is to finally remove sora from the game
I always wondered whether Final Smash meter would work in a competitive format.
I’ve honestly been thinking of making either a Wi-Fi or in person weekly series of smash ultimate but with a different rule set each “timeframe” whether that’s week, month, every other week. This is honestly a way for people to enjoy competing again. Cause it is a detriment to the community that we are OBSESSED with using a rule set that is restricts all the hard work sakurai and his team put into one of the biggest and most versatile fighting games ever made
Puff and G&W are really good if you know how to use them
With Puff, you have to go in the middle of the bottom of the stage to cover both ledges and then some
With G&W, you wanna try to use it closer to the ledge so they have less time to mash out of it, while staying high enough to catch their jumps, but also low enough to the stage so they can't duck
They're both really good, but you have to put in the work to get them there
I think people underestimate how powerful meter is. A lot of final smashes completely ignore neutral and give characters a free advantage state. Its a good comeback mechanic, but that and rage might be to much. It would be fun to watch tho, which i guess is the point.
Given how HBox freaked out about the Big Puff glitch, I wonder how he'd react when he realized that Egg Lay makes Puff EVEN BIGGER
It's funny seeing HBox react to Final Smashes like they're a new update lol. It'd be really cool of they were allowed in competitive play.
Ganon can dthrow near ledge or from a bit farther away can dthrow nair and if the opponent is over the edge the first hit that spikes will kill at 0
Yes! This is what's actually needed
You high key cooked with this one. I’m all in
The strict rules for Melee make sense because that works for Melee, but there could totally be different rulesets for different smashes!
Something to note, Joker's final smash starts deleting people at about 63%. At least, that's the minimum from when I tested it.
the thing with Chrom's awkwardly spaced voice line, it is probably done to be more in line with his Japanese voice line, which is also spaced
44:22 "That's a huuuuuuge hitbox."
What about smashball where you have to fight to get a final smash rather than automatically having it. It would be the perfect mix between regular singles and smash meter and would satisfy both crowds
Sakuri's smiling in retirement
Guys, how COOL would it be if every time you manage to land a Bowser final smash, it always screen ko's??
No. You’ll just have Zelda’s camping you until their meter fills then you die instantly. No thanks
FINALLY a competitive player acknowledging this about Smash. I’m a firm believer that the competitive Smash scene has sterilized TOO MUCH of the game. Removing items is fine, but we should consider smash meter and maybe some stage hazard stages that aren’t too insane
Also it’s funny seeing HBox react to final smashes, he’s so competitive focused he’s literally NEVER seen these final smashes before 😂
my take: keep the rules as usual for one bracket but have a side bracket with items, final smashes, stage hazards and more jank stages, etc
this goes for melee too. legalize poké floats
Yeah because FS Meter is still jank lmao. It's not like a fighting game super
I think FS meter would be a lot better with 4 stocks, personally.
Would the games be longer on average, maybe, but it would help the "cheesiness" a lot. Plus, good meter management would be rewarded even more by letting you get another final smash off with the extra stock
I wouldn't mind final smash
meter if stocks go from 3 to 4.
Hype>Everything.
I once met an Incineroar online that'd use smash meter and spam.
He was one stock ahead and I had Ryu.
I was over 100% when he went to his last stock.
I managed to land a fully charged focus attack that led to Heavy Jab -> Shoryuken -> Shin Shoryuken.
He died at 0.
That was funny.
Smash is fun when you turn items on. I would like to see who is the best when items are turned on. I bet it would be some random out there in the wild
Meta Knight counters Zelda's final smash.
That Sephiroth final smash was an attack he had in FF7, which played a five-minute cutscene featuring some sort of meteor smashing through the outer planets and then into the sun, exploding the sun into a red giant which then consumes mercury, venus, and earth... and unless you're massively low on health or levelling, not actually killing any of your party.
Keep in mind that he’s just looking at the hitboxes and not the context of the attacks.
For example, back throw into final smash at ledge from the Marios kills at 0 percent, and is escapable only with very specific SDI.
Okay, as a Bayonetta main, there is something I feel I must mention. Witch Time works on final smashes, and we can just kinda fly to avoid Olimar's final smash. That's all, apologies to Bayo mains
We need a final smash tournament and a item league tournament with would be fire as hell
if it was same damage but lower knockback would be fine
Duck hunts final smash just summons the cartel
I think this would be cool as a format, but wonder if the current way FS Meter runs would be a problem. It runs out after 20ish seconds of max charge, and you lose like 1/4th of the bar if you die with it charged. Might be nice to see a modded version take out the timer so players can use it when they’d like to. Otherwise we’ll just run away.
Juan sees Rosalina's final smash: "This is ASS!"
Dawg, have you SEEN Rosa's final smash in Smash 4????
Ganon final spikes.
if this gets pushed i expect any bayonetta players to just witch time 3/4 of the final smashes
the game needs an update for mobility and gameplay. would be nice if Nintendo dropped a wild patch out of nowhere so the modding scene doesnt have to do it for free out of passion. call it "Melee Mode" where you can wavedash, true dash dance, increased game speed, platform cancel etc. would be way more fun to play and spectate. either bring back L cancel or just completely reduce end lag when landing on ground mid aerial attack. increased mobility and combo potential is always a net positive for fighting games
Imagine if in competitive overwatch they disabled ults. Final smashes are similar with meter
I LOVE Hbox & his super honest commentary on the final smashes “thiss one is..... ASSSSS” 😂😂😂 31:45
I always brushed aside final smashes but this made me rethink them. But, if other Fighting Games have supers and other stuff, why can't we have it! Have you guys ever seen an FGC hit a sick combo into his final smash, it's mad cool? Why not, this would be badass.
Because other fighting games are completely different genres. Smash is a platform fighter while Tekken and Skullgirls are traditional fighters, that, superficially, look more like a real fight.
I quit TO-ing years ago
BUT I had always thought that if I still ran tournaments for Ultimate I'd be running 2 brackets.
standard tournament rule set, double elim, etc
Final Smash Bracket with the above rule set
Always thought itd be pretty stellar and the the FS mechanic is too slept on
imo if you have two brackets one should go ahead and allow items
A lot of these quick, 1 hit hitboxes can be spotdodged, and let me just say that nothing feels cooler to spotdodge than Neo-ing a final smash
You can spot dodge the traveling ones on reaction if you're far enough
I deleted ult abt a week ago cus I could not stand how Sakurai changed the mechanics to feel WORSE on PURPOSE.
But I reinstalled after accepting it's just different and seeing ult more as a fun party game than competitive one.
Honestly, I think it is a much healthier approach to the title. I think I will have a lot more fun/enjoyment from it now than when I tried taking it too serious.
Spicing things up sounds good
Please make a video about the 2nd official tier list
Peach/Daisy will ruin the game with their Final Smash that can both instantly kill an airborne opponent and heal themselves
Highkey at this point I'd be down for 4 stocks FS meter on for the remainder of Ult
At least occasionally I feel like that would be REALLY fun to watch and create some cool moments
When I first started playing Ult, I (like most ppl) played w meter. I think it was the most fun I’ve had playing Ult, but then when I took the game more seriously and turned off meter. I noticed the game was getting a little less fun over time. Having meter keeps me on my toes when playing, it also makes me want to kill my opponent faster since they won’t be able to get their FS. This is just me idk if most players will agree w me, I just felt the need to type this out LOL
Weirdly, I’m warm to this. Some of them are overly powerful, but it might encourage an interesting neutral of operating around the hitbox of the final smash. Or it might end up making things campy or hit and run, who knows, it was never tried
FS meter is honestly so damn fun, it actually feels like a fighting game lmfao
peach is definitely the main problem. Zeldas is still broken, but it can at least be counterpicked. moves like dk up b, wario bike, and any teleport escapes it for example. If you actually wanted to make this a thing a peach ban may need to be considered.
Mii brawler has a million different combos into the final smash
If final smashes became competitive, heck yeah I’m gonna keep maining Ike.
News Flash: Final Smashes make the game hype as hell!
