RATE THE SUPER! Smash Bros. Brawl w/Maximilian

[@KnightsDisillusion]

For anyone that wants to know why Luigi's Final Smash is a sex dance it's because luigi is channelling all of the negative emotions he has from being in Mario's shadow and creating negative energy out of it.

[@PikminandOatchi]

I would think Luigi is the type of person who wouldn't mind.

[@KnightsDisillusion]

@@PikminandOatchi Luigi's Final Smash. As exotic music plays, he performs a dance befitting a sorcerer's incantation. A barrier envelops him, negatively impacting all in his area. Random effects include getting launched, sleeping, moving in slow motion, tripping, fainting, and losing attack power. This technique is a reflection of the dark side he embraced in his brother's shadow.

[@Sanjixoxo]

I REALLY hate they change it :(

[@psychotovi8306]

Wow that is needlessly convoluted. I think the Poltergust is a better reference and just fits Luigi more.

[@cynical_perks8725]

Best part of this stream was watching Max trying to break the Smash Ball and dying... multiple times.

[@usagijojo2]

Brawl's roster looks so tiny now.

[@MagcargoMan]

True but it was the best one. Smash 4 added a lot of garbage newcomers.

[@Berschkaka]

MagcargoMan how can it be the best one if ultimate has the same characters and even more tho

[@MagcargoMan]

@@Berschkaka Because Ultimate goes for quantity over quality. I mean, Daisy, Dark Pit, Pichu, Roy, Corrin? I mean don't get me wrong, the idea of bringing everyone back is cool, but I really hope the next Smash wipes the slate clean for the roster.

[@usagijojo2]

I can accept that because Nintendo's simply at the bottom of the barrel in terms of their first-party characters. The likes of Waluigi, Captain Toad, etc. - as well as a ton of Pokemon most people wouldn't know - are all they have left for future installments. Even if they were to "wipe the slate clean" next time, any new characters would still be virtual nobodies that only the most devoted Nintendo fanboys would recognize and care about.

Meta Knight's final smash is better against multiple opponents. Press A when the screen is fading to hit everyone else on the screen before the final slash.

[@thelastgogeta]

Didn't know about that but not surprised. You can't measure the merits of a Final Smash hype wise in a vacuum, just like how some Supers are really great in certain scenarios if if they KO. Smash has this multiplied by stage design, other items/hazards and the number of opponents.

[@carlbloke8797]

JojoDigitalArtist The moves actually get better to use in 1v1 in later games

[@OstianOwl]

Coming from someone who loves Earthbound to death, PK Starstorm didn't get genuinely cool until Ultimate where they added Paula, Poo, Kumatora, and Boney along with sound effects and background effects from Earthbound and Mother 3. In Brawl, it's kind of lame and lacks impact for being such a powerful PSI move in the Mother trilogy.

[@MajestyRoyalPaladin]

Too bad most of them has the same animation.

[@lenixad0094]

I agree. They look better, but many of them are just "Beat the hell out of the guy in the air", and also many are just capture ones. Sure, they give their own twists, but it feels a bit unoriginal to me.

Daniel Llanos do both of you need your eyes checked? Aside from Little Mac and DK literally every other character still has their own unique Smash.

Jigglypuff actually got a pretty strong hitbox while shrinking, so as Zero suit samus, when she got her suit back on, yoshi sometimes spits fire like with the hot curry item and super wario is so fast on his bike, that he can drive faster, than the cars on big blue. Also he could infinitly fly with his aireals. And the difference of the sheik and zelda final smash is the angle it sends you. And finally, when you use your final smash as meta knight on someone, but there are still people left, he slashes them one by one with a weaker and dodgable version, before striking his victim.
