So, I'm considering getting another family member, who uses these two weapon types as his primaries. I know it seems like an odd assortment, but one of the fairly cool effects of Brawl that I've been playing around with, is the ability to 'shove' people back to pole arm range (And knock them over). It would seem that haivng a cool pole arm WEAPON to go with such a maneuver would be quite valuable. Has anyone tried this?

Also, it may be that the requirement to shove someone that far would be so great that the critters you could do it to would be very far beneath you anyway.
