Charizard Balance Changes

Balance Philosophy

Each mid-tier character receives a buff and a nerf: shave off the most unfair part of the kit while lessening the character's biggest weakness.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

1. Down tilt

   Buff

   Proposed adjustment

   Start up decreased to frame 7.

   Current issue

   It has a small hitbox and is a little slow.

2. Neutral air

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   End lag increased to frame 21 and landing lag increased to frame 12.

   Current issue

   A big hitbox, fast start up and combo ability on the same move.
