This has always been fun to discuss, and I've yet to make a thread here so why not? (Hope it hasn't been done before 
. )
The thread is what it suggests - Character entrances and the select screen.
(Not asking to create one mind you, just cool ideas that are always fun to toss around, no? And these can be as zany as you'd like.)
This thread entails the beginning of fights - the format if you will. The menus, select screen, stage select and entrances.
This is what I mean ~
CHARACTER ENTRANCES: I always thought if they gave a tiny ( 5 second) cut scene before the fight it would be cool, kinda like Injustice: Gods Among Us. Obviously four of these per fight could be clunky but it's always fun to hypothesize.
Ex. 1: As you hear the countdown, Mario flies in Galaxy style. You see him start off in the background with the camera trying to follow him and he lands on his designated part of the stage in his landing position with hands in the air
Ex. 2: Bowser is approaching the battlefield in his Clown Car, looking at a screen with his opponents on it. When hes close enough, he jumps out into his spot.
Now for the select screen, I always thought it could be more dynamic and cinematic, for example:
The select screen has all the character standing together, or even set up on a table like trophies waiting to picked. Once selected, they come to life reminiscent of the N64 opening, waiting for everyone else to pick their character. Once everyone has their character and the prompt to select stage appears, the characters jump forward (or start running, or into a portal, think Mario Strikers charged select screen) and look at the stage options. Once selected, the game starts loading the stages, and the characters take their appropriate modes of transportation to the battlefield. (Sonic books it, Wario gets his bike, Ness walks into a portal etc.)
Post your cool ideas below!
