THE FIRST FINAL SMASH MAJOR TOURNAMENT
Ойындар
IT'S FINALLY HAPPENED! I hosted an edition of my $2,000 Coinbox Smash Ultimate tournament, but WITH Final Smash Meter turned on! This ended up being one of my favorite tournaments I've ever hosted, and showed an all new meta that we should consider for the future.

Peach final smash dealing damage in addition to sleep + healing, feels so funny. it's unfairly OP. but it's so funny. idk how they put this in the same game as Jigglypuff's final smash. like night and day.

For a second I thought the "final" in the title meant this would be the last smash tournament for Smash Ultimate ever lol
I can’t stress enough how amazing this format is, I’m actually excited when you post new videos with it and it has renewed my love for the game- not exaggerating.
This is fucking awesome I love it. way more exciting moments, and there's an extra incentive for people to play aggressively because you want to save your final smash for the 2nd stock.

Seeing Sonic players being forced to play the game and being punished for their camping is extremely satisfying to me. Props to Ling for showing us what a good Peach player with FS is like (extremely broken).
I love fs meter so so so so so much and I'm so happy to have been able to watch sets like MKLeo and Spargo play with it enabled

Smash Bros and apple trivia. What's not to like?
Wow peach in this format is more broken than steve is normally. Sonix proved there's some counterplay to that OP final smash with his springing out, but I bet if FS meter was the standard people's "counterplay" to peach would be like people trying to "adapt" to steve camping, aka barely anything (Not saying I didn't enjoy watching the peach players here I loved this tournament)
I’ve been wanting this since smash came out with supers 🙌
Love this ruleset
Other fighting games have supers, Smash should too!
This format is so hype to watch. Feels fitting considering most fighting games have supers. Does it make sense, with Final Smashes mostly being an instakill, to switch to a 4 stock format instead of 3?

We have to talk about Apple Reviewer.
Finally, the competitive world is introduced to the wild place known as final smashes. People have figured out how broken peach/daisy's final smashes are, and if anyone actually played Zelda, they would realize how broken theirs is too. The two worst final smashes are probably sonic's (if you know how to avoid it and aren't caught off-guard, just go up top and they can do nothing) and Jigglypuff's (criminally easy to evade. If you get hit, that is entirely your fault). I really hope to see more tournaments with non-competitive rulesets in the future. If Item Breakers has taught us anything, turning select items on can be loads of fun and not ruin the competitive experience at all if you do it right. There is loads of content in here.
this actually makes ultimate 10000x better to watch sonic actually playing the game
This is really better than normal rules
Why can’t I ever be there for the full thing 😭 I’m vacationing in Italy so your stream starts at like 11:00 PM
Normally I hate watching top tier sonic play. They pretty much all do the same thing and every match is at least 4 minutes long, but to see ling with that serendipitous 9-0, I sat back with a big ol smile on my face and enjoyed myself.

Going off memory, if final smashes were legal the biggest concerns are 1. peach and zelda(one heals and sets the opponet up for a kill, and we all know why zelda fs is bs) 2.Characters with a vacuum effect(luigi, palutena, megaman. Similar reason to zelda if the person can get creative with the final smash off ledge) 3.Marth/Lucina(they are literally designed like a homerun bat and can guarantee kills even close to 0%) 4. Maybe Sephiroth, purely because of the random status effect causing multiple issues. And I could genuinely see it causing rng upsets similar to hero shenangians in normal play every other fs falls into similar categories and is more so dependant on specific setups imo
An FS meter tourney sounds decent. If some Final Smashes didn’t need meter for their full effect
Let's go m2k ..hbox
This format is pretty sick. I wish the final smashes were more balanced because it's not that crazy of a concept for fighting games to have ults that you charge up.
The extra commentator came out of nowhere lol
Wait i just thought about something, links can counter peach final smash with bomb 🤔
When I’m in a glazing competition and my opponent is maximoose while jejajeja is playing
These dudes so unfamiliar with playing simple casual games they have no idea what they're talking about with final smashes half the time lol

Now I understand why final smash meter is always turned off lol.
idk if anyone else has said this but zelda fs meter can kill at very low percent, if you get them offstage and zleda goes to the blastzone, faces the blastzone, and starts her fs then it sucks them in and throws them into the blastzone for free. m2k is wrong about how good zelda fs is and hbox is wrong about how bad it is.

I'm pretty sure it's the exact opposite. Final Smashes in Sm4sh were *far* more casual. The introduction of a weaker version that uses a meter, and the conversion from all transformation final smashes to cutscene final smashes were most definitely attempts to make them more suitable for competitive.

i don't think it's "designed with casual in mind" either because any other final smash are atleast balanced in some way, and from a game design standpoint they're all fair, despite having different hitbox size, it still needs certain percent to kill
