Ah I was wondering about final smashes. Cus back in Inkling’s orginal game their Final Smash is a Special that happens after they paint enough ink on the ground. So if fs were completely off the table it might be a bit of a hassle explaining why they wouldn’t have access to them. But I’ll probs still try and think up a reason why they won’t go around constantly using it cus then that would probs be a bit busted lmao. Maybe I’ll just make it a reeeally big amount that they’d need to ink (but tbh considering the dlc boss battle inkling spamming their specials would be a very in canon for them to do lmao. But don’t worry that’d be way too op to even consider implementing lmao)I want y'all to embrace the world of Nintendo in it's entirety! I've been trying to bring in as many different creatures and people as I can for enemies and NPCs; feel free to do the same.
I haven't put too much thought into Final Smashes. If I'm following the lore from their respective games, Pit and Toon Link wouldn't be able to use their FS at all. Pit lost the Three Sacred Treasures, and in the RP itself he's lost one of his unicorns. Toon Link loses the Triforce of Courage at the end of Wind Waker. In the old RPs, it was common for folks to use dice rolls to determine whether a FS hit their target or not, but that was during the Brawl days when the FS were much simpler.
I've stated in the rules that canon doesn't have to be strictly followed as SSB doesn't really follow the canons of the various games it references. I usually have Toon Link keep his Triforce piece as LoZ RPers tend to have their characters sense the closeness of another Triforce bearer through their piece. For example, after some adventuring, Toon Link and Princess Zelda are a few meters away from each other, and the Triforce marking on their hand starts glowing, or tingling, or something.
I have thought about the SSB being unable to use their FS due to what has happened to the Hands, but some Smash Fighters have FS that's easy for them to access simply because they carry the item needed to use it (ex. Luigi's vacuum) or it's an ability they can use naturally, and so on. It may be easier to just say that Final Smashes only happen during SSB tournaments. I'm open to suggestions on this topic.
For power ups, it's fine to find item boxes and such. A character could find a floating ! block that's common in the Mario games, for example. As I said, embrace the Nintendo universe! Just be responsible with it.
But more importantly I’m hereby declaring that if loz characters will have that triforce sensing ability that it will be called The Triforce Tingle
