Dear Sakurai, the one change we can all agree on is...

[fwb]

Default mode: STOCK

Just imagine: gone are the days that 4 people try to change the settings at the same time and inadvertently set coin battle and 20% modified handicap while trying to change to stock mode, then yell at each other while determining the one person to set things. Gone are the days where someone is trying to select their character while someone else brings up the options and everything gets messed up. Seriously, this is one little change that will make a significant improvement to the game on a daily basis.



edit: a better idea mentioned below, is just have the settings save to how you last had them. like items and stages.

I like timed matches :v

 

[LancerStaff]

Stock matches with more then two people are inherently broken. Even in Melee it comes down to who can camp the most.

 

[dimensionsword64]

Yes, yes, yes, a thousand more yes's.
It's so annoying wanting to jump right in and play, so I start the match, then realize it's on Time.

If you catch someone camping then you call them out on it and have everyone go after that person... duh. Nobody takes free for alls that seriously.

I agree with the OP but unfortunately Sakurai doesn't see stock matches as the default game type.

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

As long as Stock is the default and Time matches don't go, I'm down for this.

 

[Ryan.]

This would be fantastic. I have played a timed match by accident so many times.

 

[DaDavid]

OR! Just allow us to change the default settings? So that way you all are happy but the people who like timed as default can have that too and then some?

That's kinda hard when they're Pit Meta Knight.

Sounds like a plan to me. Always wished we could change default settings in the menu in general, like names for the different player numbers, handicap, stamina percentage, and of course the default mode.

I would like this.

But sakurai isn't gonna change the default lol. its been what 3 smash games already? its not happening, nor does he see the need. sad really.

as for MK, will probably be nerfed, but not to bottom tier, he'll still be up there.

 

[jacobj77]

I think they should get rid of coin brawl. Pretty worthless IMO.

 

[Substitution]

Just at least enough to where he isn't a huge problem like in Brawl.

 

[Pazzo.]

Well, I like the idea... but keep timed matches as well.

 

[mimgrim]

OR! Just allow us to change the default settings? So that way you all are happy but the people who like timed as default can have that too and then some?

How about ^this^ instead. Or even just make it to where it remembers the last setting you had it on.

 

[mr.boombastic]

I actually like coin matches it gives a little change of pace to the vs mode. I also wish they'd bring back the bonus matches from melee too.

then again, i am probably the only person in the world who wants those two things.

 

[lordvaati]

Stock will never be the default. Ever.

However, if the game auto saves all custom match settings like stock, that would be cool.

 

[Chiroz]

Remembering the last settings it was on is an incredibly simple thing to do. Come on Sakurai, items and stages already do this!

 

[TheMagicalKuja]

I think they should get rid of coin brawl. Pretty worthless IMO.

As long as they give us back Decision matches (SCORE ATTACK SMAAAASH) I can agree with this

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

The description of the scenario is hilariously accurate. lol

 

[Krynxe]

Simple solution:

Options > Set Default Game Mode > _________

nobody loses!

 

[fwb]

THIS. perfect.

Most people here only really play 1v1 or 2v2.

 

[shadowjosh]

I enjoy playing time matches and trying to run up 10+ KO's, but I'm down with just remembering your settings. I mean, that's how most of the game works anyways.

 

[Zink Imp]

I can't agree with this. But I would be all for the ability to set a default setting.

 

[ToddCam]

Setting defaults is a great idea. But I prefer timed matches as stock matches take too long.

 

[DakotaBonez]

You can set a time limit on stock matches too. Actually I think you had to unlock this. I don't remember if the "more options" page is available from the start.
I like to play with 3 to 5 stock with a 6 to 8 minute timer.

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

Timed free for alls aren't less broken than stock ones. In time matches, you just run around attacking whoever is at the most damage trying to get KOs, and it creates a huge incentive for everyone to gang up on the weakest players who will be the easiest kills. In stock you basically always try to not fight, but everyone else is kinda trying to force the others to fight and while it doesn't perfectly balance out, it does to enough of an extent to not be worse than time matches.

The basic suggestion of just remembering these settings is really the best though since that helps all players. We'll be fine either way, but it would be nice not to have to constantly fiddle with them.

 

[stan423321]

I definitely support some way of changing the default to stock. I always play FFAs with friends on stock, as camping is not a problem unless you are playing on a huge stage. (And not even every huge stage - Sector Z on SSB64 was alright with items on). The fact that some players are knocked out earlier makes the game feel better, really.
