Pausing during a match to speed up transformation time.

[PKNintendo]

Do others allow you to do it? Im sure it's banned in tournies, but remember in Melee where you could switch in the air (preloaded characters FTW) to Zelda to recover. Thats impossible in Brawl, but pausing the game to speed up the transformation can allow you to recover easier...

Is it legal in friendlies?

 

[imdavid]

didn't you already ask this in the zelda boards.

 

[PKNintendo]

Wanted different responses.

haha, well in friendlies, it just depends on who you are playing. in a tournament, then usually no.

I doubt it since I'm pretty sure after you transform once you won't have the problem of waiting for ever, or do you have to load the characters, every single switch?

I've switched and recovered before (in brawl) but I was knocked up to the upper corner of the stage.

You have to wait after every tranform. I don't really see the point in doing the pause to transform faster exploit. In friendlies, it's not so serious that I would want to interrupt the match in such an obnoxious way. In tournament matches, it just wouldn't be allowed. Sounds like a funny money match idea, maybe?

Is this allowed in friendlies? You make the rules for friendlies by the consent of the two parties playing.

 

[Villi]

Who needs consent? Just tell them you gotta check your phone.

 

[eskimo bob]

look at it like this: what tournament would allow pausing in the middle of the match unless there's a phone call or such?

I might get a little irritated. I change back and forth quite often in matches.

If they only do it once or twice, alright, but like, 4 times+ would get annoying.

It would be totally sweet, though, to jump off stage as Sheik, transform, pause, come out as Zelda, jump then lightning kick for the kill.
