When i refer to the same... i mean the same mechanic, the same principle.
He turns into a giant ganon (a giant blue falcon) and rush to kill peeps.

Why he didnt created a gigantic fireball? or threw multiple deadman volleys to enemies?, or used his swords from windwaker to spin across the stage killing peeps?. Or bombarded the whole screen with a super nova?.

See where im coming from?
If you go that general there are several that start to get similar. Lucario, Charizard, and Wario transform into a strong version, would you call them copies?

It's not the same mechanic at all, though. Falcon hits a small area in front of him to trigger a cutscene. Dorf stuns everyone in his line of fire, then rushed forward, hitting that entire horizontal plane for instant damage/knockback with no cutscene. You're either misremembering how it worked, have a very poor understanding of the mechanics, or you're just being stubborn because you don't want to let go of this point.

Lol, i find it uninspired and the same principle of hitting people like a car on both characters.

SFIV ultras are impossible to pull off? Like in terms of the button combination? It's like three button presses in sequence.
I tried my best and I just can't do it, yet the CPU does it too frequently even on easy, so I wiped the game from my 360 hard drive.

to be honest, i never got the buzz around megaman's FS and i still don't.

i have played megaman before.
and i've seen my cousin beat a lot of levels and bosses in many entries.
Its sort of a legacy thing I guess, calling in Megaman's (Megamen?) from other games to help you for an awesome attack.
Sort of like why Pokemon Trainers Triple Finish is awesome, its a full team attack.


Personally, I like Final Smashes for what they are, they're ok once or twice, its like getting a finisher move is any other game.
Sometimes you get that Bang Shishigami Power Rangers style move in blazblue and its always awesome.
Sometimes its just an over powered hadoken like for Ryu and its good one time.
I watched DBZ before I really knew anything about Street Fighter so Ryu's super Hadoken was immediately dead in the water for me.

Some of them I really love, I love the Land Masters (all 3 of them) I think its awesome to call in a flying tank for help.
I love Diddy Kongs because of Webcomics
I guess I dont like them for their usefulness, I just like them because they're either really cool or funny or a call back like Giga Bowser.

That said, really don't play with them switched on. They're just a gimmicky sort of thing.

Final smashes are OK.

I would, however, change Sonic's final smash. He should call his friends to help him fight. He would call all of them, Amy, Tails, Knuckles, Cream, Rouge, Silver and Blaze, then they would all team up on Sonic's opponents and beat them down. Then in the end Shadow would arrive and use Chaos Power to finish off the opponents. I think it would be pretty cool to have a original FS like that.

Honestly, I couldn't care less about final smashes, myself. I always play with them turned off, even when I have items turned on, so I don't even notice them. So I think they're alright for what they serve. Little too cinematic, though, for something that happens so often.
