FinalSmash. The Weakness?

Well, upon examing some of the clips Sakuri's given us recently, I've come to the theory that Final Smash attacks aren't completely invincible. There does seem to me a flaw in each attack.

Now I'm not guaranteing that Brawler WILL be invincible, but to make the attacks less broken, they MAY have a weakness - as what my theory is.

Now we've seen clips of Link's Delta Slash in action, people are wandering if it will go into a cut-scene and whether or not the other two characters will stop/freeze whilst this is going on. But I doubt that - I can see Link going after the closest person and attacking them whilst the others are moving around.

What I think will happen is that the closest person to Link will automatically be trapped in the Tri-Force first, THEN he will go after them. However when he;s attacking them, it just doesn't make sense that he becomes invincible during the duration of the attack. The attack seems TOO brokenin my opinion.

Whut I think might be a possibility and a weakness to his attack (and some of the others) is that they can be hit from behind by an opponent and thus interupting the FS and stopping it. However it would have to be a knockback attack - Fox's B attack can't simply stop it, it would have to be an object thrown or an air attack or whutever, you get the picture.

Some characters this isn't possible though, Pikachu is basically a giant ball of lightning, so his weakness may be that his attack is quite slow and lets say it finishes whilst he's in midair, it may mean he'll fall back down to ground/certain death because his jumps will, well not nessacerly used, but lets say "voided" sorta like as if it's done an air dodge and is now falling back down. Their in lies Pikachus weakness.

Samus and Mario will have the same sorta weakness, whilst infront of them characters will face a scorching blaze of fireballs or a killer light beam, they may be left vunerable at the back to attack.

Now some of you are obviously thinking 'ehh, whut if someone attacks Samus whilst she's "shedding" well, if you take a close look a the animation ni the 2nd trailer (or is it the first?) that it's only after the attack she sheds hur armour, so once the attack is done ALL of hur armour immediately sheds, it doesn't go like: arms first, then legs, then head - it all comes off at the same time and falls to the ground.

Now I'm not gonna go into more detail about each persons Brawl attack because obviously everyone may have a certain weakness to them - whilst others may actually just purely simply be INVINCIBLE.

I'm not stating that the FS's aren't invincible, I'm stating/telling you all my theory of what type of weaknesses the FS attacks may have.

:embarrass Go look at the Smash site again dude.I said this time and time again,yet people dont listen.Link has a beam coming out the back of his hand.Guessing apon who is smack by the beam,it means Links victim is on the revieving end of the beam.With it being a beam,means its avoidable,just like the other Final Smashes seem to be so far..
