Custom Final Smashes?

[Meta_Ridley]

So I was thinking, "Wouldn't it be cool if characters got more than one Final Smash?"

I'd love to see Pikachu get something better than Volt Tackle, or Mega Man use his Rush Adapter or Time Stopper.

I know it's super-unlikely, but it'd be cool.

I thought up this idea too, but I think Sakurai is aiming for a bit more focus in the design of this game. There's a reason everyone has exactly 8 extra custom moves, no more, no less.

They can't even get all characters to have a single decent one. Look at DK's and Rosalina's, and I hear Peach's is the same also.

 

[Raijinken]

Directional Final Smashes would be a good step, too, but as has been pointed out, it's unlikely.

 

[ErenJager]

Possibly exclusive to the Wii U version.

But yeah they really should have updated a few of them.

Here's a few I would have preferred seeing as the definitive version.

Olimar – Rock Pikmin
Villager – Bee Hive
Megaman – Super Adaptor Armor
Captain Falcon – Super Falcon Punch
Donkey Kong – Coconut Gun
Link – Fierce Deity Link
Falco – Arwing

Rosalina star can KO at the end of it, it's good for trapping.

Ya never know what Sakurai might pull out last minute...

Yeah, and if your opponent is off the map you can place the star for a guaranteed edgehog.
I feel like Sakurai gives better final smashes to characters that he think's are lower tier.
A character with such a high skill curve as Rosalina must be overpowered, he thinks. Better give her a final smash that is difficult to pull off.
But that doesn't really explain Fox...hmmm, maybe he did't know how good he was?
I dunno, I just hope that Sonic's isnt the insta ko that it was in Brawl.
From what I've seen, the landmaster looks significantly nerfed.

It can actually shoot while in flight now.

Isn't Samus' smash really powerful? And he said that during testing she was the strongest.

 

[DakotaBonez]

Oh yeah yer right. But Samus is a slow character, so its hard for her to get her final smash, as opposed to speedsters like Sonic and Fox who will always get to it first.
Maybe slower characters get better final smashes?
Its pointless trying to understand Sakurai's logic.

 

[KaZe_DaRKWIND]

Its pointless trying to understand Sakurai's logic.

I can DEFINITELY agree to that.

 

[SS-bros14]

I actually thought about this before we knew more about custom moves details.
I think Final Smashes would be cool custom moves next smash.

 

[strawhatninja]

I don't think this is gonna happen but I would love it.

 

[Moon Monkey]

Doubt it. Would be cool doh.

 

[MajorMajora]

I do think Sakurai cares more about making the characters feel good and then balance them later. I'm pretty sure that's his design philosophy, which explains some inconsistencies in straight up balance of final smashes.

Captain Falcon – Super Falcon Punch

That is the greatest idea I've heard in a while. My god just thinking about it gives me the chills.

 

[PikaSamus]

I would like Meta Knight to have the Kirby Super Star Ultra version of Mach Tornado as one.
