Tilt B Attacks

[rsc_390]

My friend and I were thinking that every character should be able to perform tilt Bs in every direction. We decided this was cool after wondering why not too many character have them in Melee (off the top of my head i can think of homing missiles vs. straight missiles and close vs. far boomerang, and that's it)

If you were to add tilt Bs, every character can be given up to 3 new special moves

For example, what if vB in the air (tilt or smash) made you take out a bomb, but on the ground tilt vB would take out a bomb, while smash vB would make you take out a Powder Keg? I imagine Link would carry the powder keg like he would a barrel, but it would do heavy damage if it makes contact.

Or, what if you could control the distance of your ^B by tilting or smashing? That could make for some interesting variation and mindgames. This could be used to sweetspot the ledge if you're too high and you don't want to waste time dropping any lower.

Another option for some characters could be that tilt ^B does a damage attack (think characters like Puff or Yoshi w/o recovery ^Bs) while the smash ^B performs a recovery maneuver.

It'd be interesting

It'd be complicated.

The thing about tilt special moves is that it has to similar to smash B moves. It's just seems wierd if it's not (this comming from a Samus player). Also it should be weaker as well.
If the tilt move was completely different than smash B moves that would make things pretty wierd and complicated.

It will be very... freak. Because is complicated to do well the smash and the tilts separately... the b attacks with very diferent effects will be ... crazy... dizy @.@

I guess i'd have to agree with you. That's why I think the ^B idea (smash ^B makes you go farther than tilt ^B) could be cool.

In that same respect, any move can be split into two different versions. It could be as simple as one focusing on damage while the other focuses on knockback, or one is slow and strong while the other is fast and weak. Or it could be something more significant, like homing missiles vs. straight missiles (quite a difference!)

The simple idea could also be applied to the A button. What if you could perform air smashes? Perhaps Fox's tilt Dair could be the same as his current, while his smash Dair would act like Falco's ^_^
