Idea pitch: War Mode

[krazyzyko]

I couldn't find an idea submission thread so I guess l'll post it here.

Basically, the idea is to pick a character per stock instead of per match. Eventhough within the mode it would be possible to pick the same character 4 times and let your opponent vary it up. I think it would be interesting to witness the intense clash from both parties and see who ends up adapting better.

l got the idea from Soul Calibur 2's Team Battle Mode:

Err... I don't think this is possible.

This has been discussed a few times in the past, but it isn't possible right now.
I hear Dantarion got an idea of how he could "ping" characters to make them switch out while working on the clone engine, currently it's just speculation though.

 

[krazyzyko]

Ok, l believe it's a matter of time now. Because this is kinda how pokemon trainer used to work.
Besides the possibility of working or not. What do you guys think of the main idea?

I just wished the current crew battle mode remembered your current damage percentage.

Why? Crew battles don't work that way.

I posted a thread about the same idea a year ago.
Hopefully it will be implemented in the next version or two... maybe three

....or four

I think it sounds amazing. Seeing as I have four mains and can never decide which one to use, this would be perfect.

 

[Terotrous]

Why? Crew battles don't work that way.

It just seems to make more sense that if you're going to remember how much stock they had left, you should also remember percentage. Why is it so advantageous to end a match with 2 stocks left and 120% vs 1 stock left and 0%?


They also always call this battle type "Pokemon style", and in Pokemon you don't heal upon killing a pokemon.

 

[shairn]

I like to think of it as a reward for closing out that stock or some sort of checkpoint. It'd suck to get slapped off the screen in a single move.

If you want to see it pokemon style, you can think of each stock as 25% of a player's HP.

It's not though, because you don't die at a fixed percentage in this game. 4 stocks could comprise anywhere between 350% damage and 700% damage.

The way I really wish that it worked was that you, say, picked 5 characters per side before the match started, and then you get some number of stocks per character and it just goes straight to the next one when you run out, without stopping the fight at all. Obviously this is impossible in current Brawl, but I think you'd be closer to this if you kept the damage percentage.

Sounds like it would be hard to implement, but if it were I would play the crap out of this. That would be so much fun.

Double post :'(

Please stay on topic.

I'm not sure... but Could they not use the code or alter it. Since it was used(or Something very similar) for the story mode?
But I'd say the main issue is if someone chooses the x99 stock.
(also I know its wrong... or something-Just... a thought.

Also, since I'm new and don't feel comfortable adding a new forum.. I'll add my own ideas here...
-Wall jumping for every character
-edge grabbing from behind
-No guarding or rolling(Just something i'd like to use practicing mind games of dashing back and forth)
All for special bra-...Melee?

If this ever happens, I'm pretty sure the stock limit will be far from 99. (10 maybe?)

I would(if they were) put the limit to 40 stock. I just see this for the crew battles.

The crew battles line up are decided on the spot. To counter the current opponent, so I doubt they'll bother spoiling their line up on this mode.

Unless they decide to double blindpick.

[Anti Guy]

Well... I stand corrected O_O

This thread was the first thing I thought of when I saw the new pm trailer. I wonder if they actually got the idea from this thread, that'd be awesome.
