Honestly I think its a no brainer that customs should be allowed competitively. A friend of mine had a great point about this. Its possible that Sakurai added customs with overall game balance in mind i.e. why make Samus's bombs different than brawl by default when custom moves that change it are in the game. Furthermore, allowing customs increases the overall quality of moves used in the game by and large. It also changes the nature of an established "meta" that may come about at any given time since customs will change the match-ups between characters, essentially keeping the metagame fluid.

I'm inclined to blame the death in the video on Lylat being terrible, but Relentless Missiles and Dense Charge Shot are absolutely glorious.

Relentless missiles are great. Now that the custom moveset project is really taking off, has anyone used these to a similar effect to the video?

I've done it against a friend. It makes the Ike matchup a little too free... What do you all think about Mega Bombs? Personally, I think it's like have a snake grenade, but a little worse. Screw Attack, Mega Bomb, Relentless Missles is a good set.

I'm a big fan of the slip bombs myself. Although I haven't used the mega bombs competitively at all. I usually go 1212, Relentless missiles and slip bomb combos... I've got a few decent set ups with them I think. They're good when you're off stage and someone is trying to come after you, might get that lucky spike. What I don't like about them is the lack of air mobility compared to normal bombs, bomb jumping is useless with the slip bombs.

In any case, more variations are always a good thing.
After all, USF4 does have ultra 1/2, CvS2 had 6 versions of each characters... Custom don't seem impossible compared to that,.
