That was awesome!
Well Smash 4 isnt Melee. Sakurai wont allow the "accidental tech" that Melee had and if someone descovers some, he might patch it out. Plus Smash has the easiest control scheme out of any fighting game while MvC can go from easy to Simon Says so a "simple" and "normal" wouldnt be necessary but welcome.
It would be a welcome addition along with the regular play style. Sakurai seems to want to cater to both crowds. That would be a good way to do it. I agree that anything deemed unnecessary by him may be patched. That could be helpful or extremely obnoxious. He could also change some aspects of the game due to the community response.
Except melee's tech skills were mostly intended. L canceling is known as soft landing in the 64 manual and wavedashing is the conservation of momentum. It is always people who don't know anything about melee that are quick to judge. Moonwalking wasn't intended and neither was Dash attack cancelling.
Super smash brothers is inherently a very simple game at it's core.
You need to do something for the "casual" crowd Sakurai is trying to appeal to.
This game is not specifically focusing on the casual crowd, that was Brawl.

I'm aware of this. I'm only saying that if Sakurai is going to make a game become that casual(Brawl) then it completely turns off people from the game. Even the majority of casual players agree that they enjoy Melee's/Project M's physics and speed as opposed to Brawl. Even without the tech, people loved it because it was fast and action packed. Brawl was slow and boring unless you had 4 players with items on very high. The slow gameplay made it not as fun. I tried to like Brawl and played it a ton in the past, but it just isn't as fun. It's so defensive that it just doesn't feel like Smash.
That's fine and all. But I was just pointing out how Sakurai isn't particularly going out of his way to appeal to the casual gamer this time around, and therefore, no "simple controls mode" or anything is necessary.
Just imagine if the custom move set allowed for an air dodge change, back to the melee one. That would certainly make things interesting..
Smash brothers was a game made for everyone to be able to enjoy.
Melee was actually targeted directly at more hardcore players, mechanics wise. Check my first post here, with Sakurai's quote on it.
He kinda tried that already in Melee. It's called Single-Button Mode (Granted, this probably isn't what you meant, but I couldn't resist.)
troll harder. Well played.This is why I said I'm curious to see how deep moveset customization can go. From what the trailer showed off, it seemed pretty basic (Mainly changing the properties of moves).
You don't have to learn long combos, they're just very helpful, there are still mix ups and mind games you can use to pressure or confuse opponents, kinda like Smash Bros.
