While Cappy may not return, I think the cap throw on its own is still worth including. Mario always has his cap and adapting the cap throw into a Smash move, even without Cappy would still provide Mario with something fresh that plays into giving him more movement options. On the sole basis of being a more interesting move, I'd gladly take it over FLUDD, though on top of that, I think it would offer more utility and feels less jarring than Mario pulling out a random gadget.Cappy will just be outdated by the next gimmick in the next 3D Mario. I really don't think Mario's moveset should even have stuff like this.
I think a potential way of introducing the "star" mechanic would be to award them from landing counter hits. (In the traditional FG sense not Smash counter specials.)NGL, I'm partial to the idea of reworking the KO meter into the Star Punch system, but do it so that each attack has a low chance of granting a star while landing a Slip Counter has a high chance, and of course getting hit has a chance of losing a star.
But I'd settle for removing his "not an air fighter" "gimmick".
I actually think Play Rough would be better suited going to another Pokémon (like Eevee if they decide to add it) as a sort of either pseudo command grab or Art of Fighting Ryo style multi-hit move.I think Play Rough would be better suited to replacing its d-throw.
They really need to make Rollout not useless without a charge though.
As for Rollout, I'd rather see it get replaced outright for a projectile or ranged move like Echoed/Hyper Voice or a different Fairy type move like Draining Kiss or Disarming Voice.
