Final Smash Ideas?

Mario's was just so basic. His series is so big. It can't be that hard to make a unique final smash for him
I'd happily welcome a final smash change for Mario... as long as it still involved fire somehow.

On the topic of Luigi, his Final Smash, while representing his randomness and "Luigi"-ness, also represents the fact that he was always second-best, he was always in his brother's shadow and could not get out. He embraced that darkness in the shadow and created the negative zone. I think it's creative and original, and should stay.
For established characters, such as Luigi, I don't think creative and original is what it should be about. There is already a lot to work with for Luigi, so we don't need anything new and original to be created.
R.O.B, Mr. Game & Watch, Ice Climbers, Pit Wii Fit Trainer, and to an extent, Captain Falcon are brilliant because there wasn't much to work with, yet we got movesets that fit. That is where creativity and originality should shine. Not in somebody who has already been established.
At least, that's how I see it.

That's exactly the same thing.
They said "change".
It is not the same thing. In Brawl Mario uses the Mario Finale.

In SSF2, Mario transforms into Fire Mario. You control him just like Mario, but his moves are much more powerful and have fire effects. His normals are fully changed, and his specials are fire versions of them, for example the up special is the fire jump punch, where Mario rises covered in fire and falls like a meteor back to the ground. If you charge Mario's neutral special, the super fireball, to the max, you will be able to use the Mario Finale when you want. Using it untransforms Mario. There is a time limit to the transformation, and the Mario Finale ends it before the time limit.

It is 100% different.

Some ideas I had for Link, Toon Link, and Pokemon Trainer.

Link's FS is now reminiscent of Ocarina of Time. Link shoves the Master Sword into the ground, and the Triforce appears around him. A powerful blue beam outlines the Triforce, hurting combatants. Those inside the Triforce take collateral damage.

Toon Link gets the PIG. Link rides around on the rampaging Link. Not a good idea to go off the stage.
Staying faithful to the Wind Waker, Link the Pig does incredible damage.

Red uses his Charizard and Charizardite to create... MEGA CHARIZARD! (X)
Ivysaur and Squirtle ride on Charizard's back. Charizard attacks with Fire Blast and Dragon Rage. Ivysaur uses Petal Blizzard with Dragon Rage and Squirtle uses Scald with Fire Blast.

I think Bowser should have Giga Bowser replaced with something more fitting to Bowser.
I think for Bowser's Final Smash, he could jump into his Clown-Copter and be able to shoot Bullet Bills down at the stage below. The Bullet Bills will heat seek to the closest opponent it finds.

Speaking of Giga Boweser, I think Ganondorf should have something similar for his Final Smash where he transforms into Ganon (the pig beast) and be able to use all of his existing moves (that have been buffed) and have super armor.

He could look a little something like this:

Mario: it's OK but make it useful maybe? Even though MegaMario would probably be more actual.
Luigi: something about Luigi's Mansion. That one needs to change asap. Just make it about ghosts please.
Peach: perfect.
Bowser: ditch Giga, we want the Koopa Klown Car.
Donkey Kong: I love it, but make it stronger.
Diddy Kong: it's perfect.
Yoshi: eh, I don't know. It's good but could be better, no idea how though.
Wario: perfect.
Link: it's... OK, I guess. Could be better.
Zelda/Sheik: it works, but would be nice if different between the two. Maybe something involving the Ocarina for Sheik.
Ganondorf: he needs to transform in Pig Ganon à-la Wario-Man.
Toon Link: jumps on the King Of Red Lions and shoots bombs (similar to Snake), or maybe something involving the wind.
Kirby: funny, but a little weak. Buff it up.
Metaknight: the worst after Lucario. Come on Sakurai, you ****ing INVENTED Metaknight. Don't tell me you can't come up with something better.
King Dedede: it's funny but I can't accept it can't be better. Doesn't he have, I don't know, some machine or something like that?
Samus: it's perfect and also we know it is the same, so.
Zero Suit: don't really know, the Brawl one sucks though. Something related to her spaceship?
Pikachu: it's nice, but a thunderstorm on the entire stage would be more epic.
Pokémon Trainer: good idea, but the realization is sloppy. Make it prettier and maybe with different effects depending on which pokémon launches it.
Lucario: for the love of God get rid of that ****. MegaLucario time.
Jigglypuff: it's perfect.
Fox: it's perfect.
Falco: jumps on an airwing and shoots on people (similar to Snake but with more freedom to go around I guess).
Wolf: something something landmaster ****ing Team Wolf storms the place. MAYBE Pigma like he appeared in Assault could appear and kill everyone, even if it doesn't make sense character and story-wise would be cool.
Captain Falcon: it's neat, needs to be prettier and stronger. Maybe with different tracks which appear.
Olimar: same as above, but the idea behind it is one of the best of the entire game regarding final smashes.
Pit: gets his Uprising armor / rifle, shoots people up. His Brawl one could go to Palutena.
Mr. Game & Watch: good idea, awful result. Just get it work
R.O.B.: boring as hell, but I have no idea what he could actually do.He could maybe summon the Professor or some ****? Don't know.
Lucas & Ness: I don't know Earthbound but at least one should change. I mean, I'm OK with semi-clones, but the damn final smashes at least.
Ike: it's pretty good, I like it.
Marth: Well that sucks. Come on make him summon some of his friends. Maybe Roy (LOL)
Ice Climbers: it's neat but imho something about polar bears or the condor would be funnier.
Sonic: it's perfect, just needs to be nerfed a little.
Snake: it's OK but I don't really know MGS.


Man a lot of them need to be redone really.

So, out of all the final smashes we've seen so far, who's is your favourite, and who's do you believe will change from Brawl/Who's would you like to see change or stay the same?
Post your thoughts below about what you think of the current smashes we've seen so far!

Samus' so far will stay the same - besides from the ZSS post-smash.

Kirby's is a huge upgrade from Brawl.

I like Pit's, although I do think his Brawl smash was better. It's possible his smash was changed, due to the possibility of Palutena being in the next smash.

I feel as if Rosalina's is overpowered, like the rest of her damn moveset.

Wii Fit Trainer has an awesome final smash, it's unique to me.

Little Mac turning into Giga Mac is not something we see much of. I hope it's not like Bowser from brawl, where his final smash is practically worse than his normal form.

Villager and the dream home. Not quite sure what to think about that. Weird. Evil, life-defying eyes.

Megaman - his final smash is easily my favourite so far. A wave of nostalgia and a huge beam of power. Not quite sure how it's going to look on the playfield during gameplay, but to me, it looks powerful, artistic, and it's creative.

Who's final smash are you looking forward to the most?!

Here's a video covering all of the final smashes we have to date.

Rosalina's actually looks weak to me. When she used it she didn't get any kills, or really do that much.

It's seems like Samus' has been debuffed
By what I could tell, the laser couldn't move as fast as it could in Brawl

Rosalina might be very OP, but only when you're actually good as a player
She looks extremely hard to handle as well as they've shown on the trailers

And it seems that the Final Smashes have as a new theme the random factor, if we look at Pic, Kirby and Rosalina

You're quite incorrect, actually. In brawl, the laser travels from samus' beam slowly across the stage. In the direct footage, the zero laser immediately covers the entire field across from samus and expands.

I meant the pace of movement from the player controlling the laser

Yeah, but it's long-lasting, and we still haven't seen the end of it.

I'm of the opinion that a LOT of Final Smashes will change, and no two characters will have the same Final Smash. I'll come up with a prediction shortly.

Well given the scenarios she was shown using it, it's not like the one controlling her was forced to angle the laser to capture more opponents.

There's a lot, you don't know what to expect, and it covers the whole field

Honestly, how is

True, I'm probably judging too early

Three threads all discussing the same/very similar FS topics have been merged.

Seeing that Olimar has his Winged Pikmin as his new Up B, I'm expecting Rock Pikmin to be incorporated through Down B (we haven't seen his whistle yet) or Final Smash

I think we will see Yoshi getting a new FS. And I think I know what it might be,

 

Pazzo.

Eh, I doubt he'll loose the whistle... I mean, Sakurai went out of his way to put one on Olimar's helmet.

Agreed. I think we'll either see the Rock Pikmin in Olimar's new Final Smash, considering the Hocotate Bomb is an item now, or the Ultra Spicy Spray. Or maybe he'll get a horde of pikmin to use for a short duration. I don't know. But what i do know is Olimar's is most likely different.

Holy crap, this thread got a boatload of activity back in November and I never even noticed it??

Anyway, I'm quite glad to see Luigi's new Poltergust FS, it's something I've been wanting for a long time.

The other Final Smashes we've seen are all fantastic looking so far IMO
