What if Smash had charge characters?

Like M. Bison and Guile from Street Fighter. How do you think that would translate into Smash? Would it be broken? Would it suck?

I think it would be an interesting mechanic and see what could be made out of it.

I'd like to see an expansion of the movesets in general. Although, charging back to forward seems like it'd be impossible since characters aren't set to face each other.

So in the original post, you're saying that a character is either broken or they suck.

Well, we put someone in with limit break, and he kinda whomps half the cast so... It'd be a delicate balance. With patching it could have been done, and we'd probably just now be getting good enough to understand it after a year, since we are slow to fully flesh out 'non smash' things like that.

A charge character in Smash would probably work more like charging attacks. Charge characters wont translate 1 for 1 because the "charge" relates to you holding back/down than doing an input.
