Am I the only one who realizes rotation mode could also mean...

Edit: Some people seem to think I'm suggesting a new mode. I'm not. I'm implying that the update of rotation mode could be used to be the mode talked about below. IE, one person might be 5 different "players" with the same controller options.




The all-wanted "switch-mode?" You know, where someone picks 5 or 6 characters, and when that character dies, the next spawns in?

For example:

Player 1 chooses Fox, Sonic and Dedede.
Player 2 chooses Snake, Mario and Lucas.

Player 2's Snake KO's Player 1's Fox, and Player 1's Sonic spawns in.

This mode could easily be used so that each person controlled several characters without having to set up a match again.

Discuss.

It's been thought of before. Not a bad idea though. If you had like 6 people (and 6 controllers), when you died, another from your team comes out and takes over as a different character.

Awesome idea. If you've ever played Tekken, then it'd be just like the 8 vs. 8 tournament (I think it was called team versus).

That would be too good. Probably won't get in though... No reason why, just a feeling.

This idea of having 3v3 (like King of Fighters, or Capcom vs SNK 2) would be cool...

but this isn't what it means.

So a big fat ol' "NO!"

Rotation will just mean that it'll be organized so that you know exactly who's turn it is next when a match is over.

A NEW match will begin w/ the rotated user put in.



HOWEVER: A new mode w/ "3 on 3" like those found in CvS2 and King of Fighters would be sweet! And I hope Sakurai has at LEAST thought of this and took the time to consider it. If he had and doesn't include it, I'm sure there are reasonable reasons as to why.

Yes. that would be like awesome, but like, even more awesome than that.

It'd be so awesome C.falcons head asplodes!!! And then Sonic jumps out!!

Great Idea, I'd love it like McAdams loves Gosling.

That would be pretty cool, but I'm not sure that's what the Rotation mode is even meant for, or if it could work that way.

I don't know if I'm understanding you here, but what's so hard about just hitting B at the character select screen, selecting your character, and hitting A again?

Also, if I understand what you're trying to say, then this won't work. Here's an example showing why:

Let's use your character selection:

Player 1 chooses Fox, Sonic and Dedede.
Player 2 chooses Snake, Mario and Lucas.

So let's say it's Fox vs Snake first and then the order goes like this:

Sonic
Mario
Dedede
Lucas

Okay, so player 1 loses. Sonic is picked for him. He fights, kills Snake. Mario is picked for player 2. All good so far.

But let's try a different scenario. Player 1's Fox fights Player 2's Snake. Snake wins. Player 1 plays with Sonic. Snake wins again. Now the next character to play should be Mario, but Mario belongs to player 2. I guess you could bypass this with the whole "take a break" feature, but yeah, I don't see how this is any more useful than just switching characters manually (other than the fact that it saves a few seconds).

What am I missing here?

I'd love Switch mode, but Rotation isn't evidence to it in the slightest. After all, Rotation was in Melee, just with a name that doesn't make sense until you actually play.

It would be an awsome idea, but like another poster said, it seems Rotation mode rotates after a match is over, not during a match. Still cool idea.

Oh my gosh! The screen with Popo and Nana tagging during their final smash proves switch mode! Lol yah right. I'd love to see it, but they wouldn't have time for it. Seriously.

IMO, you just play a match, and when it takes you back to the character select screen, you just pick your new guy. Easy as that.

Sorry, bud, but rotation can't be used this way. Let's say player 2's fox is up next in the rotaion. what happens if player 2 wins? then player one would have to use the char. player two picked out.

Sorry, but this 'mode' of play will only be available if they implement it anew.
