VS Mode Idea

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I did have an idea for VS Mode that relates to the team mode for the Subspace Emissary.

We have Free-for-alls and Team Battles, but maybe there should be a Tag Battle as well.

In a tag battle, each player chooses up to 4 fighters in their party, which would add up to 16 fighters total in a 4 player match.

During the match, you can change the character you're using by pressing a certain button (like the Select button on the Classic Controller). Your party will share the same damage meter, so when you switch characters, you won't be healed at all.

If you're playing a Stock Match, you'll lose one of your party members if you're down to just 3 lives. When down to just 1 life, you can't switch characters anymore.

The key to winning in a Tag Battle is to keep an eye on your opponent's plans.

Would a Tag Battle mode work well for you?

It woul also be nice if your tag partner would enter doing an attack, sort of like a Striker in KoF, for combo potential. The switch should be limited somehow, too.

I guess that if you don't make this unique enough, it would end up being just like Zelda / Sheik in Melee.

Sounds like fun for tournaments, escpecially if they up the balance. In melee, you'd get tag teams of Sheik, Fox, C.Falcon and Fox again every time, save the occasional Peach or Jiggly. A tag mode would be more fun if there was less of gap between characters.

Sounds like fun, not gonna happen.

That would be a nice element to the gameplay though. I'd certainly play that religiously if it was added to the system.
