No. As someone who has played

No. As someone who has played Super Brawl, it was broken and unbalanced even more than Lockdown is. It's the reason why "mini-game" PVP was created in the first place.

The mechanics of this game aren't well-suited for PVP. That being said, I'm sure there could be someone insane enough who would want to be 1hko'd by a Gran Faust every five seconds (Read: T3 Lockdown), and by all means, all the power to them.
It would be interesting to see the Crown return, though.

What if...

I don't really know much about how the game is coded, but couldn't the damage just be scaled down so it isn't one-hit KOs everywhere? That does seem to be the main complaint about it.

Uhh...

Yeah, the damage dealt was insane. But what if they just apply the same exact damage system there is in Lockdown? It would be a Free-For-All Lockdown without points to cap. For those people in LD that just go for damage and don't care about the team, it would be perfect.

PS: Move to Suggestions or everyone will start raging on you.

Bombers are useless, since their main point is provide support, plsu have to charge and get close to enmies. Poalris spam will dominate more than flourish+skolver. Even if damage is scaled down, you cant fight somethign it interrupts and pushes you away. Die 2 seconds after spawning, with no safe zones. Or the opposite, die bya kid that spawned right in front of you. Sit in a corner and spam whatever gun you desire.....

Its more of a gamble than show of skills.

All of that was 'fixed' in LD thanks to special abilities, protected spawn zones, and a capture system that requires players to be constantly moving, besides being team-based.

The best way for it to work is by giving default gear for everyone. Maybe make a FFA with caliburs and cobalt only.

I'm for bringing it back, make some tweaks to it and make it a free for all option other than lockdown.

I loved it. I would probably pay superbrawl more than lockdown, and we have heart trinkets now... everyone has access to them. I wouldn't mind trolling in superbrawl with bombs. hahaha...

I'm for bringing it back as well. A free-for-all combat game would be nice, you could win or lose on your own merits alone, rather than depending on the random team-making of Lockdown. Teamplay can be fun, but sometimes you want to fight without depending on others. And why does it have to mean one-hit kills with Gran Faust? It doesn't one-hit you in Lockdown, there's no reason why it couldn't have some similar sort of balance in Super-Brawl.

I've been aiming to get this

I've been aiming to get this type of Brawl back since the April 4th launch of Spiral Knights when it came out of beta.

I'd like to see this PvP return with some GM attention driven to it. It was fun to have silly PvP events hosted by the Developers and GMs alike. Pinwheel and Whirlybird were cool snipes.

Since I often see complaining

Since I often see complaining about people in LD weighing down their teams by trying to treat it as a Deathmatch game to the point of totally ignoring capture points, I have to say +1 to an explicit "Hulk smash!" game mode. Let people who enjoy LD do so with one less annoyance.

Imma signal-boost Kupoo, too. Maybe just beefing up resistance wouldn't by itself be all that is required to make the game mode work, but that is not a valid argument against the notion that it would be a good starting point. I think disabling trinkets and limiting players to 2 weapon slots (or creating sub-tiers for slots used, if the playerbase ends up being big enough...) would also help keep things interesting.
