FFA needs stocks

[sombombud]

so does other modes.

stocks instead of kills? why

[Syx Hundred]

Because there is a strong potential for an AFK player just feeding stocks, or the match ends prematurely when someone is plain bad.
Bad players/decisions should result in the lowest score possible for that player instead of being able to dictate the entire outcome of the match.

no we need a timer with unlimited lives i hate the new FFA

[Aladim e a Lâmpada Maravilhosa]

Yeah, i agree with stocks. Played 3 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ games like it is now, never gonna play like this again.

Dag. I haven't hopped on yet today, was kinda hoping they got word ppl didn't like the way FFA was set up and would've changed it for matching when they added it. Can you party with a friend and still que for FFAs?

imo stocks promotes a more defensive and tactical fight.
as it is now, ppl are just spamming at each other. It really isn't a fun fight at all.
a bad player can still get a lucky up special or something and still win the game.

which is why unlimited lives and point based win worked better like the beta there's no point of playing it when somebody gets 4 kills instantly end the game

Why ? because players just hide and they land the last attack on guys you did 200 damage on then they get the win because why ? they landed one hit ? that's bs and you know it. they should either take into account damage and kills combined, or just do stock.

so you think someone sitting back and watching everyone kill each other is better?

No i think stocks in Smash, stocks worked better because it was just as much skill killing as it was staying alive.
Games went on much longer and didn't always come down to who was best.
sometimes its about positioning, sometimes its about your dodging ability.
most games usually came down to 1v1 to win the whole FFA.
i liked trying to strive to be in that 1v1 and hopefully win it all.
most times, it came down to 1v1 with each player having only 1 stock remaining.
that is a fun sudden death.
sometimes one player in the 1v1 only had 1 stock while other had 2 or even all 3.
was fun trying to overcome that.
if that player just avoids everything and doesn't get any kills, most likely going to lose the 1v1 at the end.
