PP Mode

[BluePikmin11]

Let me explain this mode:

- PP Mode is a mode where all of your attacks become of limited use, similar to Pokemon.
- The amount of PP is determined based on how powerful the attack is. Maximum PP is 30.
- There are two types of PP, Special and Standard PP.
- When in this mode, exclusive items appear, the Special Ether and the Regular Ether.
- The special ether restores special attack's PP to by 1/5.
- The Regular Ether restores standard attack's PP to 1/5.
- Keep in mind that these ethers are are not common, for a reason.
- When PP runs out for a certain attack, it becomes unusable, there is no recharge.
- PP can quickly deplete, Kirby's constant AAA standard combo can quickly deplete if used for too long.
- Successfully dodging an attack from an opponent gives you one pp to your special or standard pp.
This mode can be combined with stamina mode.
- There is a small info message on top of the player that indicates the amount of PP left when using an attack.
- Stock mode cannot be combined with PP Mode.
- When time runs out, the one who has saved up the most PP is the winner.

What do you think of this possible idea for SSB4?

And when you run out of PP, you remain stuck with Struggle?

I think it should be specials only. It isn't something you could really balance but taking away recovery moves and projectiles could be cool.

Or pp mode could just be a laser weaving gauntlet

I'm not a fan of stamina mode. So I'm against this idea.

so wait
If you never attack you win?

Heheheh...PP mode.
Maybe like an event match where ya have play as Pikachu and have to KO Jiggly with a 5 hit combo. After 5 uses of Thunder the event ends because yer out of pokepower. Why ya mxin ethers with pokepowers? Then again smash bros IS the place for crossovers.

Then it goes to sudden death mode.

How about just normal play with the pp instead. That way its the same as a normal battle but you cant stale move

 

[Jimnymebob]

The biggest problem with this, other than the whole not attacking thing, is what move do you regain PP for when you pick up an ether?
Say if I've run out of 2 specials for example.

you gain all pp for every special move when you pick up a special ether.

This doesn't exactly look like a promising game element.

SORRY GUYS, I RAN OUT OF UP-B.

 

[Mr.Jackpot]

Am I the only one who read this title and thought of Falco?

 

[LosTimeTurner]

pp mode will make all the little kids laugh

Not a good idea. If all your attacks are reduced to zero, your screwed.

I could see an Event Mode match with the Pokemon using this, but as another game mode, I don't really see this working out well.
