Character switching idea

[XalchemistX]

I came up with the idea of an option to set a character for each stock.

An example would be setting the first 2 stocks as Sonic, the third as Mario, and the last one as Link.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to respawn as a different character.

KOF style? That'd be pretty fun mode.

I would like this solely because we could have things like 4v4 matches where you have to be proficient in four characters (and the matchups they play) to win. I've been wanting this for a while. Maybe they could use some variation of the code they use for things like Tabuu, where you have icons of the characters on the left side of the screen, rather than a "stock" setting.

and have the option to quickly choose which character will come out before the respawn by holding on a certain taunt button.

Only if you can choose random as a character. 99 stock random smashfest GO!

I don't think this is possible

If it's not possible, then I guess we'll just have to cross our fingers when Sakurai updates the Dojo

I wonder if the PMBR is working on this feature since it was mentioned 6 months ago... but only time will tell

If this is implemented, Pokemon Trainer would be so pissed.

Pokemon Trainer isn't there in PM, and the switch should only be possible when respawning

 

[JOE!]

he was taken out because switching was deemed "dumb" to summarize it.

Even though Sheik/Zelda still do it...

And not sure if Zamus/Samus will either... but still

If I recall correctly, the SSE and Event Match style character spawning is only supported in "single player", and cannot be implemented in Vs. mode. It probably has something with how the game stores the list of characters that need to switch in, and how the code treats each player's stock loss in single player.

 

[SmashShadow]

Good to see my idea is still being tossed around.

 

[Phaiyte]

This has been suggested at least 3-4 times.

 

[Vashimus]

And it STILL isn't a productive use of the PMBR's time and resources.

And turbo mode is?

 

[Vashimus]

You want my honest opinion? No. It wasn't. Difference is coders were already tinkering around with everything-cancel codes years ago. Besides, it's too late now to call it off after giving the announcement.

 

[Mithost]

Turbo mode had a lot of it's coding figured out already, while reworking the entire character selection screen, pulling multiple hard-coded features from singleplayer to multiplayer, and venturing out to a completely new brand of brawl hacking that they are not even sure is physically possible WHILE working on everything they are already doing is bound to take at least a few more years.

It's a really cool concept, but I believe someone would be better off remaking the entire game for the exact purpose of adding the feature than trying to mold a very finicky piece of commercial software into doing our bidding.
