I hope Sakurai dies to corona so the next smash will have a chance to not suck so hard
Ultimate panders to the melee spaz way too much. Smash needs to be slower and more casual without losing depth. It's the reaction time demanded that's too fast and for that matter, the precision demanded is too high.
I also want randomized outcomes for every action so you're always at the edge of your seat having to see and react to what's happening because you could whiff, you could clobber them, you could trip and fall on your ass... any of these outcomes from just one kick attempt.
Also every action affects other actions in relevant ways, like if you run a lot, you wont jump as fast or as high because you're wearing your legs out... but if you're Mario, you can jump a lot more without weakening your kicks and running because he's frickin Mario.
I also want the movement to be slower but to also have jump momentum. This will help allow the camera to zoom in closer so you can see facial expressions.
Bring back the audience with a vengeance. They should be like 64 smash's audience, getting pissed at shit and even being able to toss a tomato or a boot at someone they don't like, which could trip them or disrupt anything they do, even ko them.
It'd be so surreal to see the melee minion's reaction to such a smash being made. A smash of humor over tryhard tourney faggotry. Smash the way it should have been.
