I think it would be cool if out of shield options were nerfed a bit, but you get more reward off of a parry.

[@thenoseguy]

Ganondorf would be even worse :(

[@sarimsalman2698]

[@ryan_raus]

Yes!! More reward for parrying!

[@thegoldenaegis]

Make every out of shield option come out at frame 1 for the funny

[@tyfi31]

I think it’s more likely that we’d get Ultimate Deluxe on the next console, probably with like a fighters pass 3 or something. I hope that isn’t the case but that seems like the most likely thing to happen

[@ryan_raus]

I agree. Either that or a new smash game in like 5 or 6 more years

[@zooker7938]

I wouldn't mind that at all - another smash game from scratch could not live up to the magnitude of Ultimate. My one fear is that the Deluxe version wouldn't fix the annoyances that Ultimate has - spotdodge cancelling, sticky platforms, bad online and the buffer system. But at least its likeley they would fix a bunch of bugs including PMLG.

[@ryan_raus]

[@taiphonix9232]

Just hope, for the love of god, they do NOT bring back some of those old enemies. For some reason, they needed to make new enemies for the SSE to fit Brawl’s artstyle and the only non-original ones were a few Mario Enemies, even though Melee had many enemies in its adventure mode. For reference, look at the Gamyga, Armank, Shaydas, Kracko- I mean Spaak and Mizzo (This one was cut but still appears in one area as a model) in the Smash Wiki.

[@Kochy1]

Wish they did something like Rivals where you could make your own skins for characters

[@Zathenos]

yeah, I loved that feature of Rivals, I mean, it was simple, just changing the colors of certain aspects of the skins but it was still really cool

[@The_Gabe]

Eh maybe it could work like the clothing in TF2

[@MainShane]

Yeah a simple custom color option would be cool

[@cjlite0210]

That'd be sick, idk how they'd do it, but it'd be cool to see!

[@ElectroKing77]

A few things I would like added to smash 6 -Bring back every stage (I hate that pokefloats didn't come back) -Return some transformational final smashes back (I miss wario man) -Make parrying better because you get almost nothing off of it now -Add back discarded skin like black yoshi and fire mario -Make WoL more immersive like add cutscenes, dialog and platformers section like Subspace and actual fun bosses -Ik you said custom skins but like a REALLY custom skin with being able to add colors like in certain sections like for instance coloring Mario's hat orange but his overrals like green or smth -Why is Cappy not in Mario's actual move set (ik his taunt but still) give Mario Cappy -Make is so you can taunt online -Give Link the paraglider up b and switch spin attack to a smash attack -Let Toon link's up b move horizontally on the ground -Make echo fighter actual godamn characters like why is Daisy a Peach clone give her moves from the Mario spinoff games -Add Walugi like why isn't he an actual character yet -Like you said add different gamemode but like online (like homerun contest, mob smash ect. or you could also add the special smash gamemode and squad strike online too) -Fix harazds off like you can specifically make one hazard off and leave the rest (like turn the ultimate chimera off but leave the ship platform to spin) -Give DK barrels (up b, side b, forward smash idk but put them somewhere and let them roll) -Bring back Codec calls for Snake and give DLC some -Tweak some of Plalutena's guidance and make it DLC accessable -Custom final smashes would be absolutely sick -MAKE IT SO YOU CAN REMATCH OFFLINE -Make it so you can pick a different character while in a lobby waiting for a match -Make it so stages are picked after characters like WHY did they ever change that

On the topic of Link and Ganondorf different move set. I 100% agree and should be more faithful to their most recent games or original games like Link has a moveset more faithful to BTOW or TOTK. I also feel like Sonic's moveset should come from Sonic Frontiers instead of just Spindash.

[@DrFerno727]

I really want three things: -Being able to choose what characters you don't want to face online -The return of "For Fun" online, without the stress of losing GSP -BEING ABLE TO F'CKING USE THE CONSOLE'S CAMERA IN-GAME

[@KandiKid87]

Well, the first part to overcoming a skill issue is admitting you have one, even indirectly. 😅

[@ochako_gaming]

I think a rework for Ganon in the next smash game is likely (smash 6 is also likely because it makes nintendo money). Especially with Tears of the Kingdom coming out soon.

​@@leonardocaschetto8785because his whole design makes sense and works. He's supposed to be bad in the air. Ganon is the second biggest villain name under all of Nintendo IP. He shouldn't be just a rip of a bunch of other characters. Ganon has literally no moves unique to him.

[@ouinon2551]

Nah bro Subspace Emissary was insane, like all the insane cinematics but also not only just like spirit battles, there was 2d levels, real bosses (which some of them were brought back to World Of Light), levels with scrolling, and MANY ennemies that were only made for the story mode that you had nowhere else, that really created a whole mood

[@quesobuddy]

So, who's gonna tell him that teleport recoveries are easier to 2 frame cause you have more than 2 frames to hit them?

[@xjgal7702]

The extra funny part is that it is exactly 4 frames of vulnerability for real teleports (not quick attack) which are Mewtwo, Palu, and MK

[@petesoys6348]

4:33. As an addition to that, some other characters could use some heavy reworks as well, and the two main ones are Ganon (seriously, why is he a Falcon clone?) and Sonic. Thanks to Sonic Frontiers releasing, there's so much from that game they can take from, like give him the Cyclone Kick ability as an Up-Smash or one of his throws could use the Quick Cyloop. There's also so many things they could take from Sonic Battle too, like Sonic Flair for his Down-Smash or his Axe Kick as his Forward Air. There's so many things that could've been added to Sonic and now there's tons of new things that could be added. I just hope the Smash team make him a little cooler, like doing flashy poses after hitting a move (kind of like Incineroar) and instead of a Hit and Run character, it'd be nice to see him focus more on being a rushdown character. And of course, his alts could use some severe reworking. I'm fine with his last two alts, though they could lean a bit more into being Classic Sonic, but the other alts are just so bland, mainly just being different shades of blue with different colored arm bands, ankle cuffs, and shoes. The black alt and the grayish alt could lean more heavily into Shadow and Silver or some alts based on Tails and Knuckles would be great. There's much more things I'd love to list off, but then I might be here all day. I just hope that Sonic as a character could just be more faithful to himself in the games and not a blue ball that's running away. Also, some more Sonic characters would be nice like Eggman and especially Tails. Still excited for the next Smash game though, I mainly hope that the Sonic franchise gets a little more representation next time.

[@banana_bonanza]

Heres my perspective as a casual who enjoys watching competitive: The difference for me between FGC and Smash is that Smash is MUCH more back and forth (for the most part, anyway). FGC is mainly just linear super-combos. If you know how to do the combo, you fish for it until you get it, and then you just win. In Smash, not only is fishing for combos harder, but you rarely get a 0 to death at the highest level. So all the points you made about making advantage state better would just make it so much worse to watch in my opinion. Ledge traps are super boring (no offense) so having the 2-frame window doubled would just make that option even better. And spot dodges and air dodges and everything give people an actual option to escape disadvantage. You should have to actually outplay your opponent to win. Also, as someone who has very recently gone back and played through Subspace Emissary, it still holds up. Great game mode. 10/10

[@blockhead777]

Bringing back Board the Platforms and Target Smash.

[@WilliamiteWilliamiteStudiosWWS]

And here are the ten thing I want in super smash bros 1. Sandbag soccer and sandbag basketball from ssf2 2. Dutch angel dragons being playable 3. 12 player smash, 16 player smash, 20 player smash and bosses being playable 4. Capri the Capricorn glowhound being playable 5. Beez, egg and bumble (aka the berrymeat mascots) being a playable trio character 6. Nomad taisteal being playable 7. Sparker fluxer being playable (with Ezekiel temnyvolk as an alternate costume for sparker fluxer) 8. Chloe moonshine being playable 9. Fenrir evergreen being playable 10. Sempiternal saberwolf being playable

[@RushWheeler]

I feel like if Nintendo ever decides on making another smash game, reworks for characters would definitely be a lot more of a necessity. Mario's, Link's, Zelda's, Luigi's, Sonic's and Donkey Kong's movesets have not aged well at all since their furst conceptions. Then we have characters like Ganondorf, Toon Link, Lucina, Ness, Dark Pit, Lucas, Wario and literally every Pokémon in Smash, whose movesets don't even make sense with their source material aside from a few specials and maybe some smash attacks. The devs for Smash have definitely gotten better at designing characters that work, but not enough to make it feel like you're actually playing as those characters. There are even Rivals of Aether mods for characters like Mario, Luigi, BOTW Link, Toon Link, Lucario, Wario and Donkey Kong that completely enhance the characters and make them feel more connected to their source material.

[@lippyjr5400]

I can think of two things to add on to that, one is that ganon just needs an out of shield option, it just needs to be done, two is that I would love to have some sort of setting online where you can choose what character you would want to fight, this will not give you that character every time but it will help you if you’re struggling with ness or something like that

[@CookieGal-]

With the two frame thing, I think just make it not universal. They standardised a lot of things in Ultimate, and most were good, but this isn't a good thing to be standard. Better recoveries should be more vulnerable when actually grabbing the ledge, while someone like Ganon is more vulnerable when still getting to the ledge.

[@ahsoka5385]

I recommend Pjiggles series of Missed opportunities in smash bros, every things he mentions should be in the next game, it’s not huge changes but it would definitely add even more depths to the game

[@connergoldsborough4093]

I love all these ideas except maybe the two frame one😅 I like that one to feel like an accomplishment when you get it. I really think there should be some sort of casual online because when I get my character into high GSP I don’t wanna play them anymore.

[@trashkhan9710]

I also think that having 4 frames would make ''bad'' recoveries disproportionately more exploitable than the teleports, making them more OP in comparison

[@kristian7160]

Replayed sub space with my brother recently, having first played it with him on release (I’m 23 now). As you said, cutscenes and interactions were still so cool. Boss fights weren’t too bad, but the platforming/exploration was good at times and horrible at others - I recall a couple platforms that would just zoom off to your death.

[@digbydog9505]

Here's my take: Ganondorf with Reflector + Float makes him easily the best character for the Wait + React playstyle. i feel like wishing all those things on the worst character in the game is bound for karma in the long run when you have to approach him instead of the other way around. Edit: Watching the entire video. i am realizing a pattern. More fun advantage state, Less fun disadvantage state. Which in turn would be terrible for the game. "Mix up Recoveries" isn't entirely the best claim for adding 2 extra frames of vulnerability to ledge grabs since this means characters that have worse recoveries that always have to go for ledge... Just get screwed over by this rule. I.E Doctor Mario cannot go high. they legit cannot unless they were hit up to the skybox and somehow didn't die. That's a single example of a character that gets screwed over by the mechanic. Making Spot Dodges and Rolls weaker in turn cancels out all of the benefits of those moves. they are supposed to be a dodge. If you're good, you read the option and punish them for making such a risky play. i can get being frustrated over it, but if you're losing to a spot-dodging gremlin, are you really the better player at that point? Some of these very much feel like a "Make the game better for the winning player" instead of "Make the game Hard to get into, yet Rewarding when you do."

[@briguy4867]

Personally, some changes I’d like are: - Differentiating Echo Fighters a little bit more than their base, most notably Daisy and Dark Samus - Smash Run to return - Perfect shield grants higher reward - A casual gamemode like Volleyball, as you mentioned, or maybe a soccer mode like in Rayman Legends - The option for an Assist Trophy/Pokeball meter that acts like the Final Smash meter, or the Assist meter in Fraymakers - Redesigning some the veterans (I don’t think everyone needs a redesign, but characters like DK and Samus definitely need one) - The ability to build custom stages is more like how it was in Brawl - Maybe custom moves? But more balanced, and only one per special instead of two Some of these might be too big of an ask… Love your videos!

[@mrelectrodude9391]

I’d love them to not end patches after the last DLC like how Splatoon does it, to prevent nonsense like Steve’s tech

One thing I disagree with... They SHOULD NEVER lock content behind online play. First of all, if they're going to keep up the stupid Nintendo Online thing in the future, that means a bunch of extra stuff is locked behind a big paywall (and they already do that enough with the DLC). Secondly... it harms the game's legacy. In the future when they shut down online and you can't play it anymore, all of that content is suddenly inaccessible. Achievements, yeah sure... but other unlockables? Please no.

[@jaxon3186]

How to fix link: Give him stasis as a grab and magnesis as throws, and a sheikah slate camera as a taunt Give him a stamina meter, shows up when charging smash attacks, climbing walls, and gliding Special: Electric arrow Side special: Urbosa's fury spin attack. if used as a smash input, charge the move then spin. If used as a tilt input, spin the sword while moving. In both cases lightning strikes the ground afterwards and it uses stamina Up special: On ground link can summon a cryonis pillar either under him or in front of him, in the air he uses revali's gale and automatically equips the paraglider Down special: Remote bomb. Link can press down b again to switch the bomb to a square Parry: Daruk's protection, reflects projectiles. Final smash: If link dies with the final smash glow he gets revived with 50% less damage. if he activates the final smash he shoots four divine beast lasers at his foe

[@curtisschneider1369]

I think 2 frames should be removed, at least for most characters. It feels cheap for the player recovering because there's nothing they can do about it, but if their opponent had to come offstage to edgeguard them, then they at least have options to recover.

[@pokemaster2352]

Add rollback, and skins would make it good imo

[@aJazzcat]

Teleport recoveries ALREADY DO have four frames of vulnerability in Ultimate

[@brokendoll3368]

Here is a suggestion that Nintendo will definitely love when they scroll through the comments ;-) Sudden Death: Instead of interrupting the game and starting anew, each player/team is brought to their last stocks (or they explode if they were behind) from the position they are currently in. This would mean that the person who is trying to get the clock running out would now be punished for letting go of stage control. It also prevents wins to be taken away if the player is currently dying but the timer cuts it (like in a star KO). (the percentages would also be kept as they are, the screen scrolling in would still happen) The thing is, the current way tournaments handle it makes little sense. They say "well, if this guy has a lead by 0.1%, he played better" even if it's Sheik vs Bowser. And I think people would hate Sonic less afterwards. A redesign that makes him unable to run away would not make sense.

[@notapplicable3]

For number 7 it's pretty telling that the first 2-frame clip he shows is Lucina, and then he complains about Pikachu and says he wants more players to recover high.

[@iantorcachaves99]

[@SonicTheCutehog]

Disregarding character additions, I'd want: - Online that's closer to Smash 4's having a casual mode and competitive mode and better online in general - Reworked movesets to characters with outdated/inaccurate movesets like Ganondorf and Sonic - A more balanced selection of new remixes for each series - A better Adventure Mode (I doubt it would be anywhere close to Brawl with how many more characters are in compared to Brawl, but better than Ultimate's) - More single-player content, either brought back from previous games or brand new - More new stages from other series like Smash games prior to Ultimate - Much better Modern Kirby representation rather than having 90% of the representation be from Dream Land, Adventure, and Super Star - Lower the amount of buffer frames to mitigate accidental inputs - A better balanced and designed roster and removing pay-to-win characters - Bring back tech like shield-dropping and making wavedashing more practical, while also supporting the competitive scene more

[@MiffedTurtle]

Couple things that I would want A restart match button so you don’t have to quit to the character select screen every time A training mode with more features (showing hitboxes, better cpu control, etc.) so that you can lab combos better

[@JarlZiccone]

Perhaps your idea for unlockable skins to show off could be part of the rewards for online tournament? Think they could go together aswell but also like the idea of skins for 5 wins in a row, 50 spikes etc, maybe one of them could be win 10 tournaments?

[@extremechiton]

I think all characters should get a rework. start fresh with brand new movesets for everyone. reduce the roster size, cut all the clone characters and replace them with more unique fighters, preferably not from fire emblem. with how many games some of these characters have, and abilities to pull from, completely reworking the character will bring a fresh take on the possibilities of what that character can do. for instance, mario: replace his dair with the ground pound , replace his cape with cappy, and his fludd with. . . heck, a bee sting attack or something with heavy shield damage. all of his normals, tilts, smashes get completely swapped out with other kinds of moves, and his recovery could be the cape glide acting like steve's elytra.

[@prochi99]

i skinned through all of this and exactly what i want

[@Iso_SSB]

I think it would be good for a lot of characters to get reworked, like sonic for example

[@DerNiker]

To be honest. I would like to see some specific parry mechanics for certain sword characters. This could enable special attacks or decrease the startup lag for some attacks to make them more viable. Think about Ganon getting half the startup for his downsmash or maybe significantly decreasing the startup of his uptilt after he successfully parries an attack.

[@aMelon69]

I need another Sonic representative in Super Smash Bros 6. I don't even care who at this point

[@Sylvastier]

Honestly Idea's are way too much to work, but.. If the roster were smaller, I'd want custom moves to return, except way more in line with the Mii fighters template. Instead of smash 4 customs where they just changed the properties of a specific attack, I'd like entirely new attacks that they can pull from source material so people can play every character in their own way. Smash Run as well was a perfect and creative idea to mix up the gameplay, would love it even more if they went full Kirby Air Ride and let you fight other players to make them lose stats before having an event boss or mix up trials at the end. A story is 1000% something that only makes the games better, I loved subspace just because it wasn't voiced either, characters wore their personalities on their sleeves and it was a unique and memorable experience that's hard to forget. Plus it makes the cross-over aspect of the game shine more than anything. No cross-over game truly feels complete or epic without one. Smash somewhat gets away with it just because they tend to do exactly that in reveal trailers, but the game itself still feels incomplete without a true story mode.

[@joecool6852]

I was so young when I played brawl that I don’t think that I even knew there were moves other than specials. Keep that in mind when I say that subspace is way better than world of light. I’ve gone back and played it a few times and it holds up today.

[@NintenRob]

I'm more of a casual and World of Light isn't comparable to Subspace. To me, it's more comparable to Event Match. To me, it was still fun but I'd still love an actual platforming story

[@Kingsbeak]

What i wanted to see if more features in custom smash. I want to tweak the jump height, stuff like the damage and be able to do it more precisely instead of just 3 options. Being able to essentially make it feel like a different game adds much more replay ability (be able to save it like settings in the regular smash game mode).

[@nottabananataco7330]

With how much the game is optimized and how people can just be killed off of one advantage state, I think adding the option to tech jump on stage and on platforms would spice the game up and allow people to reset to neutral more often

[@CatWarior22]

It would be cool if u could win like an accessory for ur character if u win a tournament. Like u could give donkey kong a gold tie for winning

[@cjlite0210]

I think the reason they didn't do another story mode like Subspace Emissary is because Sakurai was upset with people uploading the cutscenes to KZbin, so he straight up didn't have a Story Mode for 4 since he was worried people would upload all the cutscenes to KZbin again, and while World of Light does have cutscenes, they're reduced in number Of course, the philosophy about this idea has changed, and now Nintendo has been going after those who upload cutscenes and music without permission or reference to them, so maybe if Sakurai is directing the next game and he has the time and confidence, we could see a story mode in the next Smash game

[@samuraienjoyer9981]

Just a minor critique of the new video style: The massive subtitles at the intro hang around for a bit too long sometimes, maybe limit it to the first sentence or two.

[@facepwnagewtf]

Definitely need a better story mode. Imho subspace worked so well because it was something entirely different from the rest of the game and was a great pallet cleanser that helped keep the rest of the gameplay fresh.

[@suhndoo]

good point bro. as a kid playing subspace it felt like a whole other game

[@ianjjenkins]

I think that for the tournaments, you can arrange them for online or for local as in the smash bros tournaments that people do. I also like your idea of adding rewards and keeping them just like they can be, with themes. I also want to add a way for people who can't play online to do tournaments that are themed instead of making it themselves.,

[@noahwynn3706]

Maybe for the online tournaments once you get high enough on elite smash you have the option to join tournaments for like real rankings. It would help out the competitive scene a lot and it could bring more casuals to more intense competitive play.

[@FuriousFear]

"maybe there could be 2 alternate characters. classic link and botw link"... my man just invented young link

[@mistermarlett]

very fun video to watch :) i think all of your desires should be in base game smash 6, spicing things up as well as giving incentive for more competitive players to play casually to unlock skins keeps games so much fun, even small cosmetics like donkey kong with boxing gloves or somethin

[@bentobraixen]

i think you should be able to customise skins by yourself in game like a customiser tab where u can change colour palettes it would probably eliminate the problem with 3rd party characters having bad skin options

[@GrayscAle-jn9zs]

Good video. Dont have anything to add but I'm leaving a comment so the video gets just a little bit more traction :) I agree with your ideas, especially the technical stuff

[@ComboFood]

I’d love a “Playable Bosses” mode where one person/CPU is a regular character or a Boss like Giga Bowser/Ganon/Master Hand/Rayquaza/Marx/Duon/Galeem/Dharkon/Tabuu/Petey Piranha

The knot in poppt’s headphone aux cord got me triggered 😅

[@Sasha0317]

Among many changes, i hope they change the online (quickplay) waiting lobby to just be training mode, as opposed to the shitty version of it we have now. Like, ability to turn items off or spawn them, control what the AI is doing/its level, basically just all the features training mode has. It would make time between matches so much more useful.

[@MainShane]

Wouldn't like alternate skins locked behind online play. Especially if they're essentially alternate characters like Funky Kong. Like, lock them behind character KOs, games played, etc. Like, some people just don't (or can't) play online and I don't think forcing people to play online will be better for anyone

[@jp8824]

1. Fix online 2. Get rid of GSP and replace it with a COD style xp and level system. It would make progression so much more rewarding if you weren't punished for losing a match. And add a Hardcore/Competitive matchmaking option and a Casual/Standard option. As well as giving larger xp rewards for completing challenges (ex. 500 xp for getting 50 spikes with a character etc) 3. Let people quit in the middle of online matches 4. Add a lot more options to custom smash like the ability to turn off end lag, have unlimited jumps, and increase hit stun, etc 5. Allow mods online and offline and have an in-game menu to download them from 6. Have the ability to view hit boxes and frame data in training mode

[@pinkzki6473]

I 100% disagree with the 2 frames to 4 frame lede grab. I think it would greatly separate normal limited up specials to huge optimal up specials. Like the competitive scene already has a problem with most characters you see playing are characters that are hard to edge guard like sonic, Byleth, pikas, wario, peach, etc. if you make it easier to edgeguard you will completely disregard characters that have a very linear recovery and who “can’t go high” and don’t have a lot of options off stage.

[@Bylethsummoner3]

For the tourneys you can give a unique color (like gold) for winners or a crown over the persons icon. Sure its simple but it feels better

[@okayokey]

Well they can make a tournament type thing where like when you win your match, you get 1 or 2 stocks back, and go into another match that’s already playing. Once everyone else is knocked out, you win. It can be like a kinda Battle Royal like that.

From a business standpoint there's no reason not to. The only thing stopping it (aside from licencing) is sakuri not wanting to work on it and knowing nintendo, they'd probably just get someone else to be the head designer

I want the meta to fully embrace the project m philosophy: if everyone is broken than the game is balanced

[@badwithusernames3238]

Most smash mods would beg to differ

[@Aj-if6rj]

Well you can’t do it like Nick all-star brawl that game sucked

[@AWanderingSwordsman]

It almost always turns out that one thing happens to be more broken than everything else. I can't think of one game that didn't develop and incredibly centralized meta that took this approach.

I'd give World of Light a 6/10. I really liked the bosses, and unlocking more characters was fun. I really liked the puzzles, but there are too many spirits. A Smash story mode should have levels that are different from each other (Subspace Emissary does have some levels that are samey [Looking at you, Great Maze] but they also had some fantastic levels [Looking at you Giant Porky Statue]). Also both games' boss fights need more interactivity when they get hit. It always feels like you aren't doing anything until the very end of the fight.

[@ElectroKing77]

I agreed if they made it more immersive it would be more fun

[@TheJLankey]

Global leaderboard for each character. This will allow us to see who is the best player of each character. Tourneys could give more points towards this.

[@bradleyherring940]

Subspace Emmissary has a very special place in my heart. It was the first game my cousin and I beat together! Also, when Ultimate was first coming out, I thought Wild Link was going to be a new character who used greatswords, spears and his whole inventory!

[@MelodyLumina]

my opinion on a ganon rework: some people like ganon for the moveset, but ganon is a falcon clone right? so rework ganon and put his old moveset on black shadow, captain falcon's rival in f-zero

[@shush916]

Am I the only one that was staring at the knot in Poppt's headphone wire the whole time?

[@ElectroKing77]

No no you're not I was too

[@soniboo9202]

I don’t even consider World of Light a Story Mode, which I’m pretty sure that was the intention of it. If anything it seems it’s supposed to show the fact that there won’t ever be a Story Mode with a Roster as big as Ultimate. However, assuming we get a Reboot with a Brawl-Sized Roster, I do see another Story Mode definitely being possible, my only problem with that is a lot of the Characters would probably mostly be the ones already Featured in Subspace.

[@Mango-cr7ey]

Another problem with Tourneys is that you can be "matched" into a bracket with CPUs

[@lkeblock1662]

It would be nice to see better customisation available in the game. The ability to use custom stages in other places like custom smash, training ect, custom smash with squad strike, improvements to stage builder, the ability to remove stages from stage select as part of a ruleset, character alt presets and stuff like that. Custom random would be cool too as someone who likes to just play random sometimes but has select characters that I don't enjoy playing.

[@outbound368]

I hope they add custom moves back they had so much potential.

[@thegombagamer0224]

I think nintendo won't want to have fewer characters, and since it would be impossible to renew every character's license,I think they are going to remake ultimate. If they do this, I would hope that the fighter pass character's would be free and make new character's as paided dlc. Hopefully, they would patch ultimate Deluxe so Steve tech would be gone and we would get balance patches again.

[@sykillion9645]

If it’s impossible to renew every characters license, how would be able to keep every one in the game ?

[@thegombagamer0224]

@@sykillion9645from what I have heard from speculation videos (which aren't the most reliable source) if they port the game they can transfer licenses from one game to another but if they change the game to much then they can't. I don't know how much they can change the game before it's considered a new game.

[@chrisbeach423]

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe changed the came with the double items, but they own all the characters. Even if they made smash ultimate deluxe im sure they would have to renew licenses for the characters. Im sure everyone would be on board anyways maybe except Disney with Sora

[@smashdriven1640]

These are actually some quite good ideas. Well said Poppt.

[@Artericos]

current smash bros: ULTIMATE Poppt1: what i want for the NEXT smash

[@Taraku43]

My idea for fixing Online Tournaments is 1. Make Tourmaments be creatable by the players. That way Online Tournaments got a use for, well, Online Tournaments. Tho also, every month or so there being a special Tournament with a few unique skins attached to it. For example a Summer Tournament where you can get Mario, Link and such in Summer Outfits. Or for Tournaments based on older titles you unlock their skins from that game, like being able to play as Melee Fox with the design

[@troymayes7669]

I love this input for casual play, but I think that a lot of the mechanics I love to see in the competitive scene. It would be cool to be able to tinker with settings and have like laggy mode, where moves have either more end-lag or start-up lag. the could also go to the other side and implement turbo mode into the game where moves have less end-lag or start-up lag or no lag at all.

[@chrisbeach423]

Laggy mode? 😂

[@rymehr8826]

For number 7 poppt just wanted more ledgetraping 😂

[@raphaelgoulet6779]

Turning skins into unlock-able content would be brilliant ! However, it would have to be color swaps - asking for new models on a AAA scale is comparable to asking for new characters

[@potatomanorigin9172]

The 2 frame take is one of the worst things I ever heard. Ledge trapping is already broken, but with the addition of 4 frames it will be even better. No one will go off stage which is boring. Also not every character has good 2 framing options which could ruin the still relatively good balance of the game.

[@jessievelasco6074]

To ganon with a reflection and a float like peach he'd be so intimidating after but not too op cus he's still ganon you hit him off his float and he's dead that would be great

[@yinja3406]

i think young link should have down b as masks from zelda majora's mask and his final smash to have something to do with fierce deity link

[@lennardnorden]

There are 3 things I would love to see for the next smash game. First of all, I would love to have a better online service, because this one is not good at all. Secondly I would love a more "competitive" online game mode. And for the last thing, I would just loveee a subspace 2.0!!

[@griffincofell4738]

I wish they had a straight up ranked/unranked online play. Like, ranked can be for if you're climbing gsp but unranked your gsp wouldn't go up or down. I think that would make both experiences a lot better (after the concept of smurfs gets worked out lol)

[@waheedabdullah6371]

What I want are: bringing back Smash Bros Fighter Ballot If they're not going to bring back trophies; then I want spirit descriptions & spirits of characters' final smashes Bring back custom movesets and let us use them for battling gamers around the world Custom movesets for final smashes Give Ganondorf and Captain Falcon distinguishable movesets More new stages that aren't DLC Bring back all the DLC fighters from Ultimate as unlockable veterans for a real Palutena's Guidance New Snake Codec Calls Make Robin's final smash less confusing Make Mew a more useful Pokeball like back in Brawl/Smash 4

[@ElectroKing77]

I agree with everything on this list Especially custom final smashes

[@ComboFood]

For the unlockable alts, remove any gold colours/shinies from the base alts and make them the unlockables with shiny effects around the character

[@TokyoKing5]

think i kinda wanted is 3rd attack button instead of 2 jumps mainly cause feel the characters need more expression in thier movesets literally we all know mario characters have way more stuff they can do outside of what they gave them or even giving the Link's more diversity by have more options with all the other weapons they get in there respective game.

[@absurdlybritish9541]

It's pretty easy to show how good Subspace was. I got bored of WoL after an hour or so. Subspace was actually interesting, it wasn't just a series of "battles WITH A TWIST"

[@phermion]

I don't think that increasing the ledgesnap vulnerability to 4 frames would make teleport recoveries worse. At certain angles you can just recover so that you have 0 frames of vulnerability when you snap to ledge anyways.

[@Tiquono]

Every character should have a skin unlocked for winning an online tournament with them

[@catfishthespacepirate]

As a semi-casual player (i play with a competitive rule set but still play for fun, and i use spirits and stuff), i actually quite enjoyed world of light. It's simple, sure, but as someone who never played subspace emissary, it was all i needed. I'm on my way to 100% it now as well.

[@nathancreech56]

Great video! I agree with all of your ideas, honestly. I am currently studying abroad from the U.S. in Tasmania, have you ever been there? It’s been a great time so far
