Was just playing Super Mario 64 and thought, should Smash Bros. have cartwheel jumps and back flips?
It will work like Mario's cartwheel jump in the 3D games. You need to change directions after running at one direction quickly to make the ground have dust on the ground and then press the jump button to do a cartwheel! I think black flips can be done by pressing then holding the block button and then pressing the jump button. You will be able to do a perfect or normal block along the process as well and grabbing will still have priority over blocking but not after your character already hit a shield.
It will be great when someone fast is chasing you and you perform a cartwheel that is twice as high as your character's normal jump and land a few meters away from them melee combat. And if the person keeps on using it, the jump's height and distance will be reduced. Plus both can do cartwheel jumps towards each other and have a new air attack just for that jump. Of course, the one pursuing you can also do one as well, so the jumping and landing will be pretty quick as well as the lag from running/moving after landing.
The black flip can be great when you performed a perfect block and then proceed with a down air attack right above your opponent.
