So I am one of those Melee fanboys that wishes Sm4sh was more like melee. But I also accept that it is its own game and that it doesn't have to be like Project M and just be as much like melee to make it better.
With that said there are a few things I've tried to just for my own experience make Sm4sh more enjoyable. Some things like "rage" I detest other things like no more ledge hogging I've just accepted. I've tried upping the damage ratio and honestly enjoyed the game more. I really hated custom movesets bc so many moves just felt either unfair or spammable. Then it hit me that if i could find the right balance of equipment pieces and use those same pieces on a custom moveset in slot 1 for every character you could have the same core experience at a faster/more competitive pace. Hopefully opening the door for 3stock 6min matches.
That's my current goal. Now I don't have all the equipmen unlocked (idk if you can upload a different save file. if not no worries) so if someone could direct me to somewhere I could download a save file with all the items unlocked I'd be much obliged.
I shall endeavor to test different item combinations and post my findings. I'm currently thinking the best way would be to increase strength/knockback and speed without increasing the defense so much to nullify it. But if i could also use equipment to maybe increase fall speed to compensate for increased movement speed I think the game would be not just more competitive but more fun.
There are only 3 item slots which limits the number of buffs/nerfs such as weakened shield regen, decreased ledge grab range etc. I want to increase the speed if i can without making every character floaty. Increases the speed seems to greatly increase the jump height so thus making it hard to balance everything. Thus far I've found the best overall to be ordinary shoes, high power gloves, and hard breakers shoes(stop on a dime). It balances out to +25 ATK, -20DEF, +20SPD. It still really feels like Sm4sh still but slightly improved.
If anyone has any useful suggestions or ideas I'm welcome to listen to them. I don't have all the equipment pieces and I'd like to get the ATK higher. (But increasing ATK seems to increase both dmg and then naturally knockback so it kind of makes it hard to not mess up characters combos) Ideally make the game go about 20 30% faster and make 100% DMG KO % instead of needing to get someone to 150% or relying on Rage.
tldr; Plan on figuring out which custom equipment would make sm4sh play faster and more competitive while using default movesets.
