new item idea emerges! the smash boost!

[liets]

this is honestly i think my best idea for ssb. my brother and i are kinda annoyed at how the super form final smashes can really just be unbalanced against regular epic attack FS's. so this is what i came up with: an item that puts your character into a super form for a short time. these would obviously be toned down from their FS forms, and the item would be preeetty rare compared to say a soccer ball or whatever. the characters that didnt a super form for their FS would either A: get a super form they had from one of their games (say villager gets golden tools), or B: get just a generic power up (damage dealt, send power, etc.) and they wold like shine or glow or something for the duration of the boost. the character would still be prone to damage and knockback (still working this out for super sonic ) . the item would probaby be a small, floating, shiny orb that stayed in one spot until someone picked it up. then it would immediately boost them, instead of them being able to have it mercilessly beat out of their body. i believe this could add an interesting twist to the battle; would you run from them and fight your other opponents? would you team up with your opponent to keep them in check? will this actually make it into ssb4? probably not. how do you think this would work with with certain characters, confirmed or not? i want to hear your guys' thoughts on my thought. looking forward to it!

sidenote: multiple smash boosts could appear at once, allowing multiple boosted characters

So, basically, a power boost, but no invincibility? Sounds pretty cool.

I like this idea a lot. I'm imagining stuff like Mario with Tanooki Suit, Samus with Gravity Suit, Pikachu could evolve into Raichu, etc.
Would work well if you powered up on your last stock for exciting endgame scenarios.

Obviously, the chance of this being in the game is pretty low, but I'm hoping they've thought of something equally interesting.

I'd rather just have balanced Final Smashes than this, to be honest. It's an interesting idea, but I like the way it is now.

I like this idea. Final Smashes will never be balanced. Doesn't matter since I will probably have all items turned off.

I too like this idea, but I don't think Sakurai would do it. Then again, anything can happen.

If Link got a super form, I'd like it to be his great deity form from Majora's Mask, but I don't think that would be likely.

well, this way, it could help balance the final smashes by making them all more similar, by making them just attacks, not forms. get what i'm saying?

Yeah, I get it. It's a great idea.
