I can't consider it Night Slash when he's attacking with swords made of water.

That's a stylistic choice, not necessarily a contradiction in terms. Slash is Normal even when it's made with claws made of rock or something.

Puff Up still kinda bothers me, though- Pokemon's not exactly a series with few things for the monsters to do, so why did Jiggs need a totally original Final Smash?

Because she's a Balloon Pokemon and Puffs up whenever she gets angry, it's not baseless.

What kind of Final Smash could Jigglypuff have otherwise(Question mark)

I'm sorry but there was no direction...you taught me that Jigglypuff has some of the better sprites in the Pokemon series.

I consider his "Aura Storm" Final Smash in Brawl to be Flash Cannon under a different name.

Also, I consider his entire moveset save the named moves to be one long use of Close Combat.

I have a message from another time...

Wait... Close Combat drops defense after each use.

... Taking damage makes you easier to launch.

Wait, but Close Combat doesn't increase attack... So close.

It's probably better to just justify it by saying "Sakurai" and move on. You'll hurt yourself otherwise.

I like to think Smash's Lucario has Justified or Steadfast as its ability.

It's a pretty liberal interpretation of either one, but both are at their core "take a negative to gain a positive" abilities.

I sure said that!

Steadfast increases speed. Aura doesn't do that.

... Except for Extreme Speed.

Lets just say that the Smash team doesn't know much about Pokemon...heck Goldeen is the useless Pokemon in Smash when it should be Magikarp. (I don't play much Pokemon, but I am aware that Magikarp is the useless Pokemon)

Or that Pikachu could only learn Skull bash in Generation 1 (and 2 by the time machine trading).

It's not the Pokemon that really matters, it's the move. Splash is Splash.

Goldeen being the useless mon is a reference to the anime I believe. Remember that in Smash 64 most of the Pokémon stuff was more related to the anime, hence why we have Jigglypuff to this day.

Just remember that this is a game where stoic racers in their home series become toku-style heroes, a character gets a tipper mechanic for no reason other than having something unique about them, and Rest is a difficult-to-land OHKO move. Don't try to question the logic of certain character design stuff.

I like to think Aura Storm was a Fighting-type Hyper Beam of sorts. And that Smash!Lucario has a completely unique ability instead of Steadfast or Justified that gives him his unique Aura capabilities.

Not to undermine your impressive smashing skills, but that gif's butchered aspect ratio is making me want to punch something.

I predict that inevitably, there will be more professional Brawlers then Melee Men, and there will be more professional 4Smashers than Melee Men. Smash 4 and Brawl have an incredibly reduced skill level, which opens up the game for all kinds of new crowds! What's that? There's no wavedash in 4? Perfect Pivot. There you go, now shut up! You don't have to train for three years, rubbing the prints off your fingertips, just to learn the freaking wavedash. In fact, for Project M, why do we still have the same input for wavedash anyway? Since the acute obsession for wavedash was the reason Project M exists, why didn't they just give it its own command, instead of leaving it as an exploit?? It does not make sense.

If I'm being perfectly frank, the elitism surrounding Melee and Project M pisses me off.
