Welcome to the forums Bass!

Normally, I'd say you fail miserably, but you're new so w/e.. Just throw a link in there or a brief explanation on what this is all about.

PS. The dudes around here look down on gamfaqs cuz they say everyone on there is a douche bag or something.. don't bash me.. im just an informer and have no ida what the community is like over there.

sorry I haven't made a topic for a while.
heres the run down posted by "sumuthergamer" from G-Faqs
"Anti-Smash Balls! The equivalent of the poison mushroom to the super mushroom.

The Anti-Smash Balls look EXACTLY like Small Balls (even though poison mushrooms are different), and you have no way of telling, you just have to be lucky. When you get an Anti-Smash Ball and activate it, it hurts you in a character-appropriate (and avoidable) way.

Examples:
Mario's Anti-Smash
A gigantic, frenzied chain chomp that targets Mario for a little while before fading. It can be avoided, but only attacked if you have the invincibility star. "
And yes I know they are douche bags and thats putting it lightly but I for one think
it might be an interesting concept (the anti-smash balls.)

If they weren't banned in tournaments before, they definitely would be with this.

This is like being rewarded with a free instant bobomb.

No problem not the first time I messed up a topic:embarrass
Now as for differences rather then graphical what if the behaved differently like chasing the nearest player then activating automaticaly.

LOL, I thought this was a insult at tournament players at first! :laugh: :chuckle: :embarrass:

Seriousy though, it sounds okay, intresting, and intriguing...but what exactly would it do=??? :grin:

Make them like pure black and purple, or something. One of the most completely original item (by that I mean, original, as in never was in a video game before unlike generic items, like green koopa shells) ideas I've heard in a LOOONNNG time! :)

Gamefaqs came up with a(nother) good idea, I suppose. Depends on how it works, though. Another item won't hurt, no matter how bad. Because there is always a OFF SWITCH! :grin:

Last post before bed::tired:
Me thinks they rather then giving you a massive advantage in battle they give the character that accidentally uses it a major pain in the neck to avoid before it goes away
Examples
Kirby: Sleep power
Mario: Chased by Chain comp
Link: rain of arrows from archers in the distance
or Fox: Arwing/Wolfen friendly fire
lots of things can happen depending on who uses it and some wouldn't just hit the victim
but other fighters too. :demon:

It's an intriguing idea, but I despise the idea of luck that you can't control. Exploding crates are one thing, you can at least bend that kind of luck in your favor by making sure to throw them and not bash them (especially now that they're being clearly labled as exploding in Brawl). But complete out of control luck governing your play ability is FTL.

I think a better idea would be for the Anti-Smash Ball to simply take away your B-moves. Except maybe not your up-B.

I mean, the Smash Ball gives you an ultimate attack. So what better for the anti-smash ball to do than to take away all your special attacks?

But I would only want them if they are distinguishable (even if only by paying attention, like the poison mushrooms) and separate on the item switch from the regular kind.

I wouldn't like that, there are already enough items that can spell doom for you if it's thw wrong one (poison mushroom, both hammers...)

I'd like to see the "anti-Smash Ball" be exactly like a normal Smash Ball, but when you go to activate it but nothing happens. It would be the ultimate let down.

It'd be like getting a PokeBall and having Goldeen pop out.
