Character Tweaks [revamped first post!]

[Kosheh]

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Half of you are talking like like you're going to be playing a Flash game seriously. >_>

I can't wait to see your CUSTOM STICKS you've built as you nervously anticipate the release of this game! Are you using Sanwa or Seimitsu buttons? It really matters, you know, Smash being a game of REFLEXES and TIMING.

as fun and interesting as that might be, i have to agree with koopaul in that it would be against the spirit of the entire franchise. its always been about simplicity and accessibility

this this this this THIS

Smash Bros. is an entry-level fighting game experience. As much as you can say "Yeah, Smash is in its own genre, the brawler genre" it doesn't quite have the following of games like, say, Street Fighter. Like - I totally understand where most of you are coming from: "Hey let's put the V-ISM from SFA3 in Smash sounds dope dur hur" - but what you're really not thinking about is that Smash-Variables (?) being manually controlled defeats the purpose of the game. You're taking something that's "guaranteed kill against beginners, dodgable technique by advancced players" and making it into "technique that can only be used by god-tier players". Chances are none of you will even be able to pull those techniques off manually - and I'm not saying that because I suck at the game or anything
There's way too many variables with those combos to even make them work half the time - most of those attacks are chained together don't knock the player back until higher percentages and most of them require some sort of evasion technique to increase the typical movement speed of the character.
Also keep in mind, PROS, that another experienced player isn't going to simply stand there while you try to begin the perfect start to your "awesome combo" - that and most of those hack combos shown were mostly dependent on player-opponent placement on the map. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if most of those combos were tool-assisted (input macros)

As cool as the idea is - no, don't do it. The only way I could see this working would letting the combos be automated every time with an alternate button press - as someone suggested, maybe A+B; the entire animation plays with showy-ass combo with a nice zoom-in finish and the "CHAAAANG~!" critical hit noise plays as the camera quickly zooms back out showing your obliterated opponent's unfortunate KO. There's still the argued "variation" - every character has two Final Smashes. One just looks cooler.
