Smashboards

Don't forget the obligatory hammer attack (if not just a complete hammer-based rework)

In defense of Cappy, I do think he should have had some relevance in Mario's kit (no, the U-Special cameo and taunt don't count), but some of these movesets I've seen go WAY too far with him. I'm all for making Cappy a Side Special or something along those lines, but at the same time, I feel like the intended simplicity of Mario's kit should be preserved whether or not he's in (and even then, Cappy should only really be a part of that one move).

I do think Mario's kit needs to be updated a bit, and I'm all for adding more references to characters' movesets, but that shouldn't come at the cost of the character's playstyle and cohesion.

I always felt that Cappy as a side b would be best. He'd still be simple enough for Mario, cause he'd just be a basic boomerang projectile that could still act as a reflector.

people making "updated smash movesets" for characters is really just them making them into mr game & watch

That is the most accurate statement I've ever heard.

At the very least, I think Cappy should’ve been a grab for Mario, but altered to come back as quickly as he’s thrown

I also think the Mega Mushroom should’ve been Mario’s Final Smash since Brawl but that’s not the point
