Smash Bros Imperialism - Last fighter standing wins

Smash Bros, but when a fighter is defeated, his/her's roster spot is taken over by the winner. The fighter that eventually takes over the entire roster wins

[@karlispovisils5297]

@@JohnnyWonder12 that's far from the case. For example, the AI rarely takes advantage of the combo ability of Sheik. The AI does best with characters that simulaniously dish out good damage and knockback while having a good recovery. Speed and combo ability rarely matters (unless it's Kazuya). Byleth is excellent in both damaging opponents and recovery and also has DLC privilege, so they are easily one of their best characters.

Oh so like if a character with 5 spaces defeats someone else, that character can only take up to 5 spaces? Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm a little confused 😅

[@powermoongaming]

[@themostop6142]

This was really cool. I might try this with my friends where we bet on which characters we think will win. I also can imagine a lot of slight rule variations to make things more interesting. Maybe is the arrow points to the edge of the map it loops around. So if someone on top gets an arrow pointing up they go up against someone on the bottom. Or you could do team matches where you always select a character from the entire roster even if they’ve been eliminated, but they’ll be on a team with their captain.

[@JohnnyWonder12]

[@TheStickCollector]

Interesting concept. Wonder if anyone else would do this (live commentary and whatnot)

[@JesskuHatsune]

Yo, this sounds like a fun party game idea. Get the homies together, get some grid paper and colored pencils. We start our territory on our mains/secondaries. Spin the wheel to claim a character. Then after a while when we spin and it lands on someone else's territory, they fight to see who gets the spot, but both players can only use a character within their territory. To keep track, outline the grid paper and color in each corresponding square with their color.

[@FireflyMykah]

There should be a power creep where the more characters youve taken over the more stocks they start off with, i’m not sure if that’s possible with handicap but could be interesting It shouldnt be one to one maybe just whoever had more gets one more stock or something

[@JohnnyWonder12]

I agree, I wish I could take credit but this idea was heavily inspired by other channels (specifically from Deansworld)

[@TheAdrestio]

banger video idea and banger execution. 🔥

[@bubba6583]

Maybe for the next one you should do some way to reward characters for already having a lot of spaces. Maybe they’d start with an extra stock, or their opponent could have a handicap, or in a custom smash only one of the characters has some sort of advantage. Really fun video still!

[@JohnnyWonder12]

Actually I've already done that! I uploaded a sequel to this recently and I added some new rules to benefit fighters with more space, hopefully you can check it out :)

[@5thkiechannel]

When it comes to choosing the next direction, I think it should be: roll for the next character, roll for direction, if the rolled character has been dominated then continue in the direction until you reach a new opponent territory, if you reach the end of the map in that direction without encountering an opponent territory then re-roll for direction

[@J_larry]

I need more of this please

[@StrawberryGamesDev]

Generally a really good video! Editing is great, and your commentary was good! Good concept too. Couple of suggestions if you plan to do this again: I feel like characters that have more spaces should be more powerful. Or those that have fought more matches should be more powerful. It would be more predictable, but you wouldn't have as crazy upsets like you had at the end there. Either using Amiibo (which is horribly expensive admittedly) or having the lesser opponent have a higher percentage or cpu level would work. Ideally the more powerful opponent would have a stock for each space, but that would get out of hand and us impossible without mods. Secondly, I recommend stacking echo fighters. That way the roster screen in more square. You don't have to do this obviously, but it could better represent a battlefield. Lastly, use a randomizer that locks to the 8 main directions. I couldn't tell sometimes, but it looked like most fights were "up right" or "down left", never just "up" or "left". Honestly even just using the 4 cardinal directions alone might be better to avoid weird diagonal captures like with Olimar and Luigi. I say these things because I did actually enjoy the video and would love to see this idea improved upon! The idea of a huge war being waged on the smash roster is fun and original! I hope to see you grow and you've earned a subscriber from me!

[@JohnnyWonder12]

First off, I really appreciate the kind words :] Second, thank you for all these suggestions, the upsets and the weird arrow pointing was something I was aware of but didn't put too much thought into, but now that I've gotten several comments like these, I plan to implement a lot of these ideas to make the sequel even better.

If you want me to. I can see if I can make a thing that can make a randomly generated board that can have all of the charevters. A cool idea I have is making the CPUs amiibo that way they get better each episode.

[@tiuriopdam3934]

You should rule it that if they get more space they get a bigger handicap, the thing you find in the settings. This could make matches really interesting and some pretty quick but i think it makes some sense.

[@nathanparker6656]

“Some Sun with, plenty of clouds.” Got me dying😂

It would be cool if next time you did this you somehow buffed the fighter with the larger empire in each battle, like with spirits or the buff/debuff fighter feature. Or like spirits that gave you items or something. I liked the video tho

[@JohnnyWonder12]

[@yvetale]

If you ever do this again it would be cool to have a rare chance of the opponent being a random character instead of chosen by direction. That way dead characters can have another chance or others can get colonies, which is very in spirit with imperialism

[@michaelthex2684]

This ending is pretty accurate to the franchise that won lol

[@user-iu4of8ww8c]

i feel like the spaces owned by a character could be represented by their stocks, so the more space they have the stronger they are. Or like give them some sort of advantage if they have more spaces

[@MrAlbaniaOsc]

Love this idea

[@pavlospantazis8932]

I have an awesome idea. Redo this BUT if someone has conquered additional characters and then attacks again, then their conquered characters can also participate in the duel as teammates. To balance this, a team can only bring up to 4 teammates (chosen randomly from the list of their conquered characters that CAN attack this turn) and whoever those teammates can attack (that aren't already part of the team) then also join the duel as opponents Additionally, the characters leading the team have to participate in an attack if they can. That means that if they lose while participating then they lose their entire team. Otherwise if their team is compromised of only teammates and then it is not immediately conquered if they lose, they just lose those teammates. This can lead to up to 3 vs 2 vs 1 or 4 vs 4 fights To win in the endgame will require teams to breach the defenses of teams and strike at their leader

[@himynameisrussell]
