What do you think of aerial throws?

[luke_atyeo]

air throws? spiderman for top tier imo

Ok so now that brawl is out I thought I'd rekindle this thread and see what people think about if it had been added. Personally I think with all the new movement mechanics they added this could have definitely taken the game to a whole new lvl of greatness. It could have definitely been tweaked to balance it out, I mean really they pulled out some things I don't think any of us expected to improve aerial combat. This could of been the kicker to make it as important as ground tactics.

why did you necro YOUR OWN THREAD.

That is not cool.

Just make another!

It would be really crazy and odd

You don't see in real life (even video games) people (characters) doing some sort of aerial throws...
I don't think you would want to grab your opponent if he/she was in the air...
You would want to hit them.

Myyy goodnesss, there would be so many more suicide gimping off the edge,

They would have to increase the standard match length from 8 mins to like 12, and probably change the standard stock from 3 to 4 or 5. lol.

That would add some interesting elements to the game though...hmm.

Good idea.

... Aerial grab exists already. AND ONLY BOWSER CAN USE IT!

boozer = top teir!

Wario would like to see you now.

 

[Fox Is Openly Deceptive]

Interesting idea. Some characters, in a way, already have this kind of thing. I'm talking about Zair. At the moment, Zair only hits them away. The only thing that would need to be changed is the Zair would have to behave exactly like the grab.

I can see this being abused way to much though. What they could do is just have a decent amount of lag after the mid air grab, this way it can be punnished by a normal aerial if spaced well. So it would be like, Character one uses Fair, Character two airdoges the Fair then Air Grabs. Or Character one baits the air grab and punnishes accordingly.

Yeah I spose it could work.

Wario's Bite, DDD/Kirby Inhale, Bowser's Klaw...

Silly kids, air throws already exist!

 

[Fire!]

The idea of aerial COUNTERS would be cool, but a whole new set of throws would be too much.

 

[hat!]

It would take away what makes bowser super awesome if everyone had aerial grabs.
Though it would be interesting. How would it work out?
Any possibilities for an IC aerial infinite? lol

Well how many people in real life have you ever seen double jump, or make fire balls or summon bombs or anything you've ever seen in a video game?

 

[Project D]

double jump - people that do Parkour (well not quite, they do wall jumps though)
fireballs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkjNz44xCS8&feature=related
and not sure aobut bombs...buts you can make a similar thing from assasin's creed (hidden blades)

ah off topic: leave smash the way it is, just adding the aerial throws will just make it more complicated, althoguh it may set up for combos, people will jsut be likely to spam it till their opponents are at 100+% while you may still be on zero cause you kept grabbing them to death.

I think it would be a good idea but it would have to be executed in the correct manner. Like when you air grab it would be an instant throw so you can suicide with it, and maybe the direction of your DI will influence the way you throw your opponent when you grab them. But all air d-throws should be easily meteor canceled with a jump or Up-b. It would give an extra option other than attack or dodge. Also if they dont space an attack correctly then maybe grab armor may take effect and allow you to air b-throw them to turn the tables and edge guard them.

 

[UncleSam]

It ruins Zair...

EDIT: Project D those vids are awesome I might try out the fireball
