I don't see a single problem with making the "V-Ism" part of the Smash Ball. I think you should be allowed to have the option to use one or the other, or a combination of both in a way. You have to be filled up at least 50% to use the Final Smash, and 100% allows you to use the custom combo. When you pick up the Smash Ball, it fills you up 50%. When you take damage, the gauge slightly increases with the amount of damage you take. If you die, the gauge resets to 0.
When you activate the "Smash Combo" the gauge drains. If the gauge is still at 50% or higher during the combo, you can cancel your actions into a Final Smash-- but this drains your gauge to 0 immediately.
After using the Smash Combo or the Final Smash, your gauge is locked for 30 seconds. Even if you collect the Smash Ball during this time, your gauge won't increase. This can add a lot more pace to the fight, because if you're still in "recharge mode" and you pick up a Smash Ball, nothing happens except the ball is gone-- which allows you to deny somebody the energy charge. Of course, this can cause a flaw in the game where it literally becomes all about the Smash Ball.
When the Smash Combo is active, you can cancel moves into other moves, but in order for the cancel to work, your move must hit. The Smash Gauge drains automatically when the Smash Combo is active. Normal moves drain it faster, and special moves drain it even faster. This encourages you to actually know your moves are going to hit, rather than just button-mashing-- adding a bit more depth to the game. The character's movement speed should not increase-- only their attack speed. With the Smash Combo active, your moves lose all knockback in order for the combo to be effective-- but this means that the Smash Combo alone cannot knock an enemy off the stage. When the Smash Combo becomes inactive, the player that activated it will be left alone for a short period of time, allowing the opponent to counter attack.
Final Smashes will be weaker at 50% energy, and stronger at 100%. If you are using your Smash Combo to segue into your Final Smash, the Final Smash that comes out will be slightly weaker in power and knockback than the 50% energy FS. This will still usually be enough to kill the opponent, provided you used your Smash Combo effectively, but if you fail to use the Smash Combo properly and use the FS in desperation, it has a high chance to not be very effective-- especially for the characters with the weaker FSs.
And of course, you can opt to turn off the Smash Gauge but keep Final Smashes (classic Brawl), or just get rid of the Gauge and Smash Ball completely (classic Melee).

If they lose based upon someone who is using the ownzone, they are goid to scream too high heaven and force us to implement a time limit or remove it completely. Or complain about how they want thier Awshum combos to not be tied down to a single area, get what i mean.This is 80% of gamers.
