Anyone have ideas for new mechanics in Smash?

[Deleted member]

Does anyone here come up with new ideas for some new game mechanics for Smash? I had an idea for back B special, where you push backwards on the analog stick in the opposite direction your character is facing and the preform a new special move.

There should be smash specials.

ex cancelling like in SF4. Cancel out of special attacks or standard attacks into another.

Grab reject like in blazblue where you have a brief moment to reject a grab by pressing the grab button yourself.

Firstly, wavedash should have its own button. Consider it a "quick dash" where you go backwards or forwards without changing the way your character faces and allow using moves during the dash itself. This pretty much emulates wavedash as its own command. Well, except for in the air.

But an actually new thing would be an "aerial wavedash" probably just called "air dash". It is a very quick horizontal motion in the air like directional air dodge, except like the grounded version, you can use any aerial during the dash itself without having to turn around. And if you air dash into the ground, you transition into a wavedash, if only briefly. The cost of air dash is that it would count as one of your jumps, but it is a better double jump for those characters with bad horizontal recovery.

3-level Final Smash meter, EX specials that consume meter, and custom Final Smashes.

Grab reject like in blazblue where you have a brief moment to reject a grab by pressing the grab button yourself.

Teching throws is already a new feature.

... You know air dashers are actually a subset of fighting games, right?

Kinda sorta. But there is no equivalent in Smash, so why not?

Use the taunt buttons to switch characters in Squad Strike!

More elemental weaknesses and strengths like Pokemon Trainer's pokemon are
Playing as boss characters against teams of other characters

I'm pretty sure the Trainer's weaknesses were removed. Otherwise, all the newly added Fire attacks would put Ivysaur in an even greater disadvantage. They added flames to Kirby's hammer!

Shield specials.
Cancel smash attacks with shields
Team final smashes
16 alts per fighter

(I hate how there can't be a comic sans font) My mechanic idea... is Stans Undercraft




Edit: Incase you don't get it, it's a combination of Minecraft and Undertale

Hitstun-knockback separation. I may be a casual player, but I'm still not fond of the idea of hitstun being entirely dependent on knockback.

I have that same idea, but I think air dash should be once per getting off the ground instead of expending your double jump.
