I wanna know the answer too! Can anyone test this? I'd personally like it more if he gets impaled by the bridge. :chuckle:

or super sonic stays supery
or pikachu stays sparky
all are good ideas to try out, which i could with my copy of brawl, but chose not to, and instead wrote this post about good ideas to try out.

Well I hope not as that might mean the end of smash balls, or at least the banning of certain stages. However, it would be so epic to be a permanent Giga Boweser

Sorry. This topic was brought up on Brawl Central and we tested it. Came up negative. Bowser just gets hit, canceling the FS and the smash ball disappears.

Just throwing this in there before any lemmings swarm out the possibility of final smashes in competitive play-
Each final smash has different strengths just like how each character's moves have different strengths. In the variety it all balances out(or not, tiers and meta-game you know) so it isn't very logical to be banning FS just because you think some FS appear better than others. Since picking up the smash ball itself isn't as random as items are that random factor also isn't there so in reality unless we see some character's exploits of final smashes so common that they make the game unplayable(and not extremely specific behavior that exploits specific glitches that you could just outright ban) final smashes should be considered part of the game and competitive in the same way as any move, grab, edgeguard or other technique is.

Not really....smash balls are STILL somewhat random on who gets it and when you get it it's pretty much a guaranteed kill no skill involved, while competitions are about who is better not who can get lucky get a final smash and blow someone up.

I am glad that this doesn't work. Glitches like this would totally ruin the game.

A lot of fs are not garuanteed kills (Lucario, Ness, Lucas, Peach etc.) that being said, I've hated the idea of a final smash from the start. As soon as they announced the idea back forever ago when they were just starting the planning and stuff I've been annoyed as to how cheap and pointless they would be. Competitive play will most likely not involve the fs because it is kind of a matter of luck and not skill.

Did you just hate the idea for competitive play? Because if your with a group of friends that aren't as well as a player as you are, it can be fun to have items like these. Remember Smash Bros. is not just made for competitive play, it is made for everyone to have fun and enjoy the game.

But think of it, just truckin' it and like blowing captain Falcon across the screen while his limbs catch on fire by the explosive effect of his f-smash. Yea, you know you wish it was real.....

That sounds as if your doing as Bowser is turning into Giga Bowser.
What happens when Giga is Shrinking?

Have you played Brawl, or are you just speculating?
And since when is Marth's FS good? And landmasters are actually pretty good(Falco's can kill you while you're invincible on that respawn flying platform).

Remember Smash Bros. is not just made for competitive play, it is made for everyone to have fun and enjoy the game.
You forget that competitive Smashers have fun playing the game. Why else would we play it? It's not like we only care about winning or being the best. "Competitive play" only means that people try to get good so that when compared to other players on the basis of skill, they stand out.

Also, there's more than one way to play a game. That's what "options" are for. Competitive Smashers enjoy playing in a way that negates as much luck as possible so that the real winner is the more skilled player.

As for Smash Balls being banned, I support it - certain Final Smashers such as G&W's, Kirby's, Peach's, Luigi's, and Dedede's are simply crap compared to something like Lucario's, Mario's, Samus', Ganondorf's, Bowser's, and Ike's Final Smash. Also, Final Smashes in general aren't that good anyway; except for the most accurate or controllable ones (such as Bowser's), they can be easily avoided simply by grabbing the edge and camping.

Regarding the topic - It would've been funny if there was a way to make Bowser stuck as Giga Bowser :ohwell:.
