Kind of insulting to insinuate that I don't understand how Melee works...but ANYWAYS.
It sounds like no one has any proof that there won't be a mini cut-scene whenever a Final Smash is performed, and are simply taking screenshots and making assumptions.
I doubt Sakurai would use there be mini-cutscenes. That would totally interrupt the flow of the game.
Assuming that there will be mini cutscenes based on screenshots is silly as well. Just because the shots are zoomed in on the character performing the Final Smash, there's a cutscene? In case you guys hadn't noticed. 95% of all of the screens on that site are zoomed in and taken at different angles.
OMG, cutscene everytime Samus lands after jumping?!?
Also, I don't think the character performing the final smash should be completely invulnerable. That wouldn't be any fun. Sure, they're dealing out a lot more damage, which is already an advantage in itself, but making them invincible would take the fun out of it. It would take the player out of the game; you might as well just set your controller down for 5 seconds. Even when a player got the kickass hammer in SSBM, they weren't invincible. They sure were hard to stop, but not invincible.
Also, what happends if there's a 4 player melee going on and one character performs a Final Smash on another? If there's a cutscene like some of you think, what do the other players do? Just sit there? I don't think Sakurai wants to break up the action with a cutscene just like I don't think he'd want a character to become all powerful and unstoppable for a period of time.
Just my 2 cents.
