What do you mean by varying win conditions? I don't think we should go that far, knocking the opponent off the stage is always going to be the kill. Smash is awesome because I can grab any character and play them decently, but I will always be able to get better by adding new aspects to the game. No move should be so complex that it would take me more than one game to figure out how to even use properly. Not to say that moves can't be deep, they just need to have a shallow end.Of course. I don't think controls should vary from character to character. I think routes to victory, primary win conditions, should vary. The hallmark of a unique playstyle is that it takes the same fundamental rules and builds on them. All it would take is a bit of experimenting to see what works to rack up damage and what works to finish the battle. I'm not a proponent of completely changing the gameplay style, the charm of Smash is in its basic control scheme.
But you're selecting that win condition before the game starts. It's not like one player is playing stock while another is playing stamina because of some character trait. I'm sure he wouldn't go that far, but you get the point.Skyshroud: I think he means more along the lines of using different means of getting to that kill, not just the same old way of beating the crap out of them: Galaxy Man's Black Holes; it's not just punches, kicks, beams, balls, or slashes, but a completely new, and workable, concept. Also, I believe Galaxy Man should be the new benchmark for uniqueness. Oh, and Stamina Mode has a different win condition, so HA!
Agreed with this. Telling us about all the different forms and how cool they are kind of loses its effect when...some of us might not know what they look like.I started to skim the moveset and I think there was a part where you said that the guy had a sword that was actually ten different swords.
I think pictures of said swords would make the moveset prettier.
Yes, but note that with the exception of Zelda and possibly Link, all the characters are Powerhouses and big compared to the others, while Haru is about Link's height and Mario's weight, with good speed. I can possibly see the move overused even with the chance of using another.I see your point, but Bowser's Fsmash max is 42%, D3's is 33, Ganondorf's is 33, Link's, if used properly, is 44, and DK almost makes the list with 29%. So, yeah. And, the other two are comparable to Zelda's... Oh, and I'll tone down the lag on the down B. Thanks SkyShroud, I was going for a random attack that can still be reliable.
What is it?Anyway, I having some trouble here with Gavin. It's just an extra touch at the end, but I Want to make it perfect. Here are the choices
1. I must say I'm used to being inspected by the ladies... But this is the first time I've felt this way with a man.

You guys decide!!!!!!
Phatcat pretty much already nailed my point, but just to elaborate...What do you mean by varying win conditions? I don't think we should go that far, knocking the opponent off the stage is always going to be the kill. Smash is awesome because I can grab any character and play them decently, but I will always be able to get better by adding new aspects to the game. No move should be so complex that it would take me more than one game to figure out how to even use properly. Not to say that moves can't be deep, they just need to have a shallow end.I <3 metaphors
If we want to aim for a level of uniqueness, I think Game and Watch is the benchmark. His moves are simple to pull out and hit at first, but there are lots of cool aspects to them that add depth and uniqueness to the character.
I think we essentially agree, we're just getting stuck on one another's wording. I'm assuming that decent isn't that good (you should be able to play someone decently if you have solid knowledge of fundamental skills like spacing, timing, etc). And I didn't mean that you should figure out the whole move the first go-around, just that it is usable. For example, Game and Watches Key attack. The first time you play with GW, it is a usable high priority attack with good range. However, as you play with him more, you learn how to slow fall the attack, the double hitbox, (which will then teach you how to poke shields with the move) and learning that the hitbox will actually go through platforms all help you use the move much better than attack. I just don't feel that the first time I use a move it should be so complex as to make me go, "What?"Phatcat pretty much already nailed my point, but just to elaborate...
Yeah, the win condition per se is always the same, getting the foe off the screen. How you arrive there can vary wildly, though. How you get them damaged, whether you gimp or spike or just smash them off; currently, pretty much every character can do each of these in functionally the same way.
Hehe, shallow end. I do see what you're saying with this, but I think that it'd be unnecessary limitation to keep moves so simple you can figure them out on the first go-around. We're not making an actual game here, like Akiak said. There's a distinction between remaining practical and dumbing down your ideas because of some theoretical casuals.
I don't agree that you should necessarily be able to pick anyone up at any time and play them well/decently; there should be some level of commitment to your character, and some sort of uniqueness to them. This doesn't mean to make them so outlandish that they're inaccessible without tons of practice, but that you have to take some time to switch playstyles and strategies.
If you want to nickname me, I supposes Skies (or the more clever spelling Skys) would work. Just cut off the 'houd' and pronounce it as such. Or, you know, call me whatever you want. I'll probably respond anyway.kitsuneko345 said:(I hate names that you can't make a cool, exotic nickname out of)
I knew you were gay.1. I must say I'm used to being inspected by the ladies... But this is the first time I've felt this way with a man.
So...how exactly do you choose?B:bag of tricks
EDIT: speaking of people returning, where's lenus?
Yeah, I think you're right. I pretty much agree with this, so yeah.I think we essentially agree, we're just getting stuck on one another's wording.

Actually, I think I like Shroud. I'm gonna call you Shroud.If you want to nickname me, I supposes Skies (or the more clever spelling Skys) would work. Just cut off the 'houd' and pronounce it as such. Or, you know, call me whatever you want. I'll probably respond anyway.
He's probably in hiding. BYM (Break Your Move) forces are all over the place, you know. He's probably under cover as some kind of ****** shopkeeper, selling Double Stuf Oreos off the coast of Fiji. In any case, I'm sure he'll rejoin us before too long.And I've been wondering about Lenus too, wyvern. He better not have abandoned MYM...
He's probably escaping from the snizzlepuff's twinkie condominium mastusko poppin clocks hobble snodgers.He's probably in hiding. BYM (Break Your Move) forces are all over the place, you know. He's probably under cover as some kind of ****** shopkeeper, selling Double Stuf Oreos off the coast of Fiji. In any case, I'm sure he'll rejoin us before too long.
Can I call you late for dinner?Or, you know, call me whatever you want.
Nah, they're all off in the MYM Chat thing. Curse them and such.They imploded. All of them.
I find that demeaning and offensive to those kinds of people. Even though that others by show those kind of signs and admit it don't give you the right to give a statement to that person, especially if they aren't gay. Heck, I could that you are gay, but I'm not one to insult others, even if it was a joke. I bet that you didn't read the post at all. Here is the original post, with one change in Bolding only:I knew you were gay.
If you noticed, the bolded text clearly states that I was addressing about my already finished Klavier and giving some extra little touches at the end. I didn't openly state I was Gay at all, but rather I gave an issue about ending my moveset with a small quip. So, there.Yes, but note that with the exception of Zelda and possibly Link, all the characters are Powerhouses and big compared to the others, while Haru is about Link's height and Mario's weight, with good speed. I can possibly see the move overused even with the chance of using another.

I'll just Apoligize, but I want to give my reason. It's just that comments like that can change people for the worst. You don't know how I live my life, so why talk about something that as if you were my next door neighbor or fellow worker/schoolmate. There's no need to divulge in that sort of idea.I read the post.
Now then, do you want me to go and get my fellow LGBT Smashers in here to laugh at the joke and think that you're overreacting, of do you want to apologize for thinking that the LGBT community needs some sort of sympathy every time somebody makes a gay joke (hint: We don't need one)
Maybe I should be a smash debater.... I might fit the requirements... I think. Do I?What has happened to my MYM while I was in chat..... it has gone to hell with debate and insult.
