I've never really been too much of a fan of the Super Smash Bros. games, but I got into Melee recently. Some of the stuff that can be pulled off is still really cool to me, such as grabbing or reflecting thrown items, mid-air interception attacks, etc.

A lot of times I wish there was an instant replay function so I can view impressive sequences of actions, but I don't want such a feature to be abused to the point of interruption of the gameplay flow, or to be triggered accidentally or (God forbid) automatically.

So how do you guys suggest a hypothetical replay function be implemented (of course, you're free to think that such a feature shouldn't be included, but that's not really what I'm asking)?

Quite simple -- allow replays after the match.

The concept of "instant replays" during a multiplayer fighting game is, well, stupid.

Allowing replays of the entire match is not.

Instant replay would kill the flow of the game.

I am in favor of a general match replay feature as seen in most driving sims lately.

When SSBM is paused it already gives you some limited camera movement. It would just be a matter of RAM and programming controls to give a decent user-controlled replay.

How about rather than just showing the winning character posing, it could show some of their best moves in the background?

Why don't you just record on your own?
