Zekersaurus
Smash Journeyman
No iteration of Smash is ever the same. Each installment of the game adds something new and is vastly different from it's predecessor. There's no reason to think Smash 5 will be any different.
A lot of players like to talk about mechanics that they would like to return or mechanics that they want taken out, but in this thread we'll discuss ideas for brand new gameplay mechanics that you would like to see in the game.
These mechanics can be virtually anything, as long as it affects gameplay. For Example: altered physics, a 5th special move, new ledge mechanics, etc.
RULES
1. The Mechanic must be completely new.
The only exception would be that the returning mechanic would have to be implemented into the game much differently than in previous smash games (e.g. giving everyone a wall jump, or using meter for final smashes instead of them being item based.)
2. No Character Specific Mechanics
Example: giving Bowser more super armor, or giving Jiggs a 6th Jump.
The Mechanic must be something that affects gameplay as whole, not just one character. Things that affect certain groups of characters, like tethers, and wall jumps are ok.
3. You have to clearly explain what the mechanic is, what it does, and why you think it should be in the game.
I will update the original post with some your ideas as often as possible. Weekly at the very least.
