SSBM a different way

[Twillight]

If Melee or smash bros period, had life meters like in every other fighting game and not damage percentage, how much different would it be. would it be more fun or just another plain fighting game, Truly, I would hate it, but if the game was originally designed like that I would still hate it stil, what do yall think

 

[FerretStyle]

You could play Stamina mode and see for yourself.

There would be too many infinites. Infinites take away the fun factor

 

[Binx]

Lol stamina mode wobble FTW.

 

[Toesrus]

pokemon stadium + fox + infinate = win.

the game would be ruined.

 

[St. Viers]

lol....fox would be banned. He could just run and laser. No need to get near them at all. Pichu would be even worse than he is now. The fact that lefa and death isn't finite is whayt makes smash unique. And DI

IOW, It would ruin smash

 

[BigRick]

I herd infinates are halla good in this gaem

 

[Dylan_Tnga]

2 good?

Health meters are for games that aren't godly. Health meters are lazy.

Street fighter in all forms kicks ***.

 

[Twillight]

I think there will never be a game like smash bros, the only game that barely got close was onimusha blade warriors, it was enjoyable for the time being. but just think SSBM and replace it with oni's style of play.

 

[HAEMO_LACRIA]

I say less fun, this makes it innovative ! And for people who disagree play stamina; which really sux IMO

 

[Micheloxx]

its a lot better with percentage man, i dont know, ofcourse, there would be more infintes because of not high percentages effects

SSB with life meters is Stamina Mode. Stamina Mode is horrible, so there's your answer.

 

[MVPaintballer]

marth vs fox/falco on FD = G_G?

 

[Smash G 0 D]

The game would be completely different. Characters wouldn't have such easy ways to damage and Pichu wouldn't be able to damage himself. You can't really compare standard melee to a full on stamina mode melee. Stamina mode is for fun, but % is standard. So characters are made with stamina mode.

 

[Ice man]

life meters would ruin smash and none of us would be on these boards.

 

[Rigor_Mortis]

Only if the life meters were different for each character.

I.E. Heavy slow characters like Bowzer have a larger life meter than faster characters like Fox.
