User:Nyargleblargle/Smash 5 Ideas

A list of ideas I have for the next Smash game. Keep in mind that none of this has been confirmed, and indeed, no Smash 5 has been announced yet.

Fighters

• Meteor smashes now bury grounded opponents.
• DI returns, but combined with vectoring a less extreme version of vectoring.
• L-canceling returns, having a 20-frame input window but only canceling 25% of the animation, to avoid a skill gap.
• Characters now fall more slowly against a wall, having a special pose.
• Characters may now have three unique custom moves for specific inputs. For further information on general changes to custom specials, see the Modes section.

Playable Characters
Mario	Luigi	Bowser	Donkey Kong	Link	Ganondorf
Samus	Kirby	Yoshi	File:NyargleblargleFox.jpg Fox	Pikachu	Jigglypuff
Mewtwo	Ness	Captain Falcon	Marth	Pit	Dark Pit
Villager	Black Shadow	Face Raider	Mallo	Rayman

Stages

Universal

• Each stage has three variations, including one Ω form variation without hazards.
• Ω form stages may now have soft platforms.
• Each stage has four songs, including at least one new remix. The song can be selected by holding an input on the D-Pad.

NOTE: Most depictions of characters in the images below would not appear in the actual game.

Modes

Character Customization

• Custom special moves are now available from the beginning of the game.
• Most characters can now mix and match between up to two of four variations per move, or in some cases. Moves that have "opposite" effects can not be combined.
  • In the case that a character has three unique specials to an input, each special will only have two variations with "opposite" effects.
• Equipment has been removed in favor of a strengths and weaknesses system, where players can select up to three buffs to their character (i.e. more speed, weight) and three nerfs (i.e. reduced power, jump height), which can be "stacked" like equipment effects. The number of buffs and nerfs must be equal.
• A "quick" mode of customization has been added from the CSS, where players can select one variation per custom special move.

Costume Creator

A new mode that allows players to create their own alternate costumes. Players start out by choosing an existing costume as a base. They can then create palette swaps that allow them to replace identical colors uniformly. Advanced options include modifying the shading of a costume and altering more minute details, such as eye color or stitches. Players can save up to four costumes per character. These costumes do not appear With Anyone online.

Classic

• Now works similarly to how it does in Brawl, but with a single-path map shown between matches and the difficulty system of Smash 4.

Master Core

• Final form on 8.5 difficulty or higher is now Shadow Tabuu, with most of the same attacks as the namesake had in Brawl.

Stadium

Multi-Man Smash

• Opponent is now the Fighting Shadow Team, with all-black versions of each character.

Online

With Anyone

• Players are now able to see the character their opponent(s) are selecting.
• Custom specials allowed.

Action Blitz

• A new mode, designed to be a combination of Smash Run and Classic Mode.
• The first portion involves fighting enemies from a specific universe on a stage from that universe (ie Mario enemies are fought on Mario stages).
  • Defeating enemies grants the player access to uses of Powers.
• The second portion involves one randomly-generated round of Classic Mode. Stat boosts will be granted based on how the player plays during the match. The mode will then return to the first portion.
• Players can save their character's progress and battle against others' characters online.

Trophy Gallery

• Trophies can be bent at specific joints for posing.
• The Appears In can now list up to three games, and trophies from the Super Smash Bros. universe have it removed entirely.
