User:Toomai/SSB4 tweaks

Just various (non-bugfix) tweaks I think should be in the next SSB game.

General

• Remove Brawl's ability to act while taking knockback.
• Allow trips to be teched.
• If Brawl's reverse edge grabbing remains, add "grab the edge from behind" animations.
• Make all sacrificial KOs favour the user.
• Give all characters that can eat items a hitbox upon eating an explosive, not just Wario.
• Make it so that once player A throws player B, A cannot regrab B for 10-20 frames (not sure what the best value is).
• Either remove Flame-Grass-Water triangle or apply all other Pokémon type interactions. (Arm/Leg would be Fighting, Body/Spin would be Normal, Kirby's Stone would be Rock, DK's Hand Slap would be Ground, etc.)
• Have a way to visually approximate how much health an item has (splintered Crates, leaking Smash Balls, etc).
• Have freeze frames be based on the attacker's timeframe, not the target's. (e.g. kneeing/zapkicking/thunderstomping someone under the Timer will have both characters resume animation at the same time)
• Hitboxes produced by something attached to a character should be undodgeable for that character. (Pikmin, Gooey Bombs, etc).

Single-player

• In adventure mode, have underwater segments. While underwater, everything animates at 0.7x speed, Smashers have infinite first jumps, and flame hitboxes either turn into normal hitboxes (if direct) or don't exist (if indirect).
• Have Giga Bowser return as a boss somewhere.

Luigi

• Apply "green flame" effect to Fireball (definitely), Green Missile (probably), and Fire Jump Punch (possibly). Identical to flame effect, just green.

Peach

• Put double jump between Melee and Brawl heights.
• Allow Peach Bomber to activate on shields. The hitbox has high shield damage for a reason.
• Give a "whoops" animation for when Peach tries to pull a Vegetable in the air (like when Olimar tries to pluck from the air).

Bowser

• Attacks to Bowser's shell clang as if outprioritized (unless they cannot clang), followed by Bowser chuckling during the freeze frames.

Yoshi

• Fix Egg Roll. Give it reasonable hitboxes; give Yoshi some sort of protection while rolling.
• Let Yoshi eat items.
• Let Yoshi grab the edge with his tongue.

DK

• Get rid of that stupid hurtbox covering the blank space in front of DK's chest.
• Let DK use Hand Slap in the air. Hitbox would be small but damage would be about the same.

Diddy

• Deal minor self-damage (~3%) if Peanut Popgun overloads. Maybe also have a weak hitbox.
• Let Diddy pull as many bananas as he wants, but only if he doesn't own any of the ones that currently exist.

Links

• Give different special moves to whatever alternate Link forms there are. Grappling Hook, Deku Leaf, Gust Jar, Fire Rod, whatever.

ZSS

• If ZSS starts a match, don't produce Power Suit Pieces.

MK

• Don't make all of MK's sword attacks transcendent. Maybe leave most of them, but have a few that aren't.

Dedede

• Cause down throw to always knock the opponent down. Alternatively, give it an angle in the 70 range or non-fixed knockback.

Wolf

• Wolf's 60-frame restriction on meteor cancelling is ludicrous and unjustified. Bring him in line with the average.

Ice Climbers

• Have some way of approximating how much damage the trailer has (e.g. exhausted standing animation once above 100%).

Ike

• Don't have Quick Draw cause helplessness. (Alternatively, have it cause helpelessness if it misses and a meteor smash if it hits.)

G&W

• Don't give Judge 9 a smaller hitbox thatn the other numbers.
• Reduce Oil Panic's multiplier from 2.8x to ~2.0x and remove the upper and lower limits.

Olimar

• Weaken Blue Pikmin attacks; they're really not that much weaker than Red ones.
• Change Blue health from 14 to 12.
• Don't make Red Pikmin drown faster than the others.
• Gives Whites an actual Poison effect instead of just using Darkness. They would of course be immune to hitboxes with the effect should anything else have it.

R.O.B.

• Make the supercharged Robo Beam move at the same speed as a regular one.
• Make Arm Rotor faster and a more reliable reflector. Also have R.O.B. spin both arms, not just one.

Items

• Don't have Bob-ombs blow up while held.
• Bring back the Cloaking Device, though possibly as something else. (Vanish Block? Repel Gel? White Crystal?)
• Cause Blast Boxes to instantly detonate if hit by either Flame attacks or Explosive attacks.
• Make large items impassable (therefore stand-on-able), and have them disable edges they're sitting on.
• Allow characters to set down large items by pressing shield (or maybe have that replace the neutral throw option).
• Allow Gooey Bombs on the stage to attach themselves to people should they walk by.
