Everything disabled

[Kereokacola]

Here's an idea I had and decided to post it before I forgot.

With the new character icons in Brawl next to the percentages, how about a mode where absolutely nothing is at the bottom of the screen, and you have no idea what percent your character is at? This would make for harder battles, a lot of guessing and a clear and open view of everything.

I just think it would be nice.

there could be a mode where ur just playing and looking at a blank screen that would make things really hard...... oh ya u can already do that by turning off your tv

But seroisly people have played smash enough to where they could tell around what percentage people are just by how far they fly and stuff

 

[Kereokacola]

That's not the point... with just the battle on hand and nothing to obscure the view, you have your characters and your arena, that's it. I think it would one, make for a pretty, cinematic and confusing battle as no score is displayed, no percentage is displayed, and if you're playing a large stock match, have no idea how many lives you have left.

It's just a thought, and not like it had to be a separate mode. Score display and percentage display could be simply, disabled.

This would be a rather interesting condition to play under. It'd be cool if you could adjust the opacity of the HUD all the way down to being completely invisible. That'd be rather awesome...could make for some cinematic matches.

It'd be like battling in camera mode from melee. It's a good idea. I like it.

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Nice Idea.

 

[Dagingabreadman]

doesnt that work with angled brawl?

 

[red stone]

that would definitely be a tourney mode, just like how radar is off in halo 3 for MLG

I doubt that, but it would still be fun to play once in a while. It would make pummeling people you've grabbed harder (I always hit them as many times as possible before throwing; with this mode I'd have to guess how many times I could hit them before they broke the grab).

 

[Drik Khaail]

I like doing that in melee, using the debug mode. it really puts you into more of a just "knock em off" sort of mode compared to fearing what damage you have...

 

[Aryman]

Just take a piece of duct tape and put it over the bottom portion of the screen so you can't see the percentages.

Oh duct tape, what can't you do.

 

[h1roshi]

definitely interesting...peace

Blind Mode.

That's awesome. I'd play it all the time.

 

[Jumpinjahosafa]

That would be incredibly fun.. My friends gang up eachother if they have too many lives, or play like cowards if they have too little.

With "blind mode" you would have to play equal the entire time.. really fun imo.

 

[gunterrsmash01]

very good idea but you'd need to throw in something to call it a mode.

 

[Jammer]

I'm wondering...

We're talking about what would happen if we took away visual cues, like the damage percentage.

But what would happen if we took away all the audio cues (the sound effects). You can do that in Melee in the settings. I wonder if that would make Captain Falcon top tier because you couldn't hear him announcing all his moves.

 

[Pyroloserkid]

I think that would be a neat little feature, but it'd never be taken seriously.

 

[Platypus]

Naw, I've tried fighting CPU Falcons and, while they gain a slight edge, they aren't much better.
About the HUD: When you look at your damage, you have to think about what that much damage will do by remembering what's happened before. Just seeing the number tells you nothing. If Yoshi has 63%, he won't even flinch from a Fire Flower, but Jiggs can easily be killed by Fox's flip kick at that damage.

Hiding lives would be cool, though.[/gangups]

Oh I bet you just can't wait for Special Brawl: Metaalllllllllllle moooeeddeeeee

Why? Does Falcon become uber good when metal?

I'm not a Falcon player, although I'm often mistaken for one (I'm a Falco player).

 

[ToddCam]

This is a great idea. I would probably always play it in that fashion.

 

[Talendime]

No Jammer I wouldn't say he's technically better (well, they're all better when they are metal but he's not like an exception or anything), they just don't talk when they're metal, meaning he wouldn't be announcing his moves, like you suggested.

 

[Jammer]

Wow, you learn something knew every day. Thanks for explaining.

 

[error_alt_delete]

funny thing is is that I was wishing you could do this in melee.
