Editing User:Ac2k/Changes for SSB4

A list of changes I'd like to see for the next ''Smash Bros.'' game. Please tell me what you think of it on the talk page.

==General==
*Keep all characters, and declone the semi-clones.
*Declone all Final Smashes.
*Bring the Self Destruct to how it was in Melee (if you die when not knocked back, it is still an SD).
*Tether recoveries should not be able to be used until 2.5 seconds after grabbing the ledge, and no edge grab limit.
*Characters with tether grabs should be able to use their respective grabs as tether recoveries. They should cover a shorter distance but not cause helplessness.
*Remove random tripping, but keep tripping in attacks (banana peels, etc.)
*Characters should not sink downwards in water unless in hitstun. (To prevent stalling using moves like Mr. GW's down aerial)
*Characters should lose all invincibility after letting go of a ledge.
*Allow stages from all three previous games to return (like the ''Mario Kart'' series).
*CPUs should never self-destruct when using a move on stage (Level 1 Yoshi using Egg Roll, Landmaster, etc.)
*CPUs should fully utilize all parts of their characters' recovery.
*Star/Screen KOs should grant the point for KOing as soon as the animation begins.
*Remove all infinite/0-death chain grabs/grab releases.
*All characters should have the exact same grab release animations (Wario, Ness/Lucas).

*The area on the Control Stick for inputting Special Moves should be equal in all four directions.
*All rapid-fire attacks (neutral attacks, Flamethrower, Angel Ring, etc.) should be easily SDIable and techable.

*All characters should be able to gain distance from glide tossing in every direction.
*Frozen characters should not immediately unfreeze when hit by a flame attack.
*Flowers should be unable to be shaken off.

*Allow trophies of Adventure enemies to have data, weaknesses/resistances, damage, HP, etc.
==Multiplayer mode==
