SUPER SMASH BROTHERS: BRAWL - FINAL DESTINATION
I'm currently working on Super Smash Brothers: Brawl. It has a fighting game style that's similar to Temple Siege, Hero Sanctuary or Custom Hero Wars, but it's a more or less recreation attempt of the real game.
Currently on starcraft, there are many "mass" maps which are rigged and useless to any player who attempts to become the victor of the arena, so I thought I'd give the words "Super Smash Brothers" a facelift on starcraft.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Players
Requires player 1, can have up to 6 players - Map Tileset
Badlands, Dirt (base) - Map Size
96x96
STORYLINE/INTRODUCTION
The players will battle against each other in an arena set up by the specifications of Player 1 (the host most likely), and will battle out to the death (lives), or have a timed match where deaths count, and the least deaths determines the victor. This is an attempt to make a replication of the real Super Smash Bros. Brawl, with a few acceptions due to the limitations of Starcraft.
You may choose a character at the beginning out of 12 available characters, choose if you want teams or FFA style match, Select teams (if teams is selected), Select Lives amount wanted (1-5, displayed at the bottom of the map), Select Items (On/Off, only all at once, cannot turn specific items off). After all of this is completed, you may Hotkey your building (Special Moves Buidling for secondary attacks and items), then the 3,2,1 countdown begins and you are placed on the battlefield based upon the game setup (teams or FFA). Spawn locations are provided in the middle of the map (as usual) and you will spawn after the death of a corsair (platform) if you die (life is subtracted). You may fall off the edge of the battle field "Final Destination" designated by the brown squares on the outter left and right sides of the battlefield.
FEATURES
- multiple maps/characters can be created in later series... not just a one time deal map
- knockback from attacks
- flying across map with deaths
- choose your own teams, lives, items (on/off), pickup/throw items
- 3 special moves (Up + B, Down + B, Left/Right + B) (possibly throw attack added later)
- the map can contain real arena style backgrounds that show in the minimap (as shown below)
- smash ball final moves (TBA)
- timed matches (1 minute, 5 minutes... etc.... TBA)
- actual SSB: Brawl music/sfx from game

UPDATES

All special moves are set and ready to go, just need to add in specs for DCs, items revamped, Pokemon revamped
I know that onix and chancey are not included in the actual game and this makes me a bit of a hypocrite because I have recently mentioned that it's a sort of "recreation", but these are the pokemon that I could think of that I can use with the limited units I currently have left to choose from for pokemon. Everything in this game is still up to debate, but I'm just displaying what I have so I can get bashed by all you wonderful gamers out there
.SUGGESTION BOX
I am in need of suggestions for the gameplay and certain aspects of the game. Here are a few questions I would like to ask the community:
- Should I include EUDS for %Damage in later versions of the game (displays your damage % like in real game as an integer)?
- Should I include EUDS for F4 through F7 for move descriptions, pokemon and items?
- Should I use EUDS for button pressing such as 1-4 on your keyboard for use of Special Attacks (spell casting) and item use instead of Barracks?
- Does the item list satisfy what you see? What about the pokemon list?
- Are there too many players? (is 4 sufficient?)
Comments? Questions? Answers? Concerns? Constraints? Complaints? Let me know ANY feedback.

None.
), then I'll continue work on it, but only in small pieces. Like for instance, since I started the map, I've had a lot of progress with trying to figure out what the best characters/moves/items/pokemon/map would be. So far, everything has gone great, and I don't regret starting this map, but finishing it while trying to do an engineering degree at a university is another story. I would love to finish this if I had the time, but within the next month I have 2 major events (a fundraiser, and a competition), midterms and a social life to try and maintain.
