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.
-
Neutral special (Laser Blaze)
Buff - Proposed adjustment
- Slightly more damage per shot.
-
Side special (Stealth Burst)
Buff - Proposed adjustment
- Start up reduced to frame 27.
-
Side special (Gunner Missile)
Buff - Proposed adjustment
- 3 frames of end lag.
-
Down special (Cannon Jump Kick)
Buff - Proposed adjustment
- Slightly more horizontal travel.
-
Neutral air
Nerf - Proposed adjustment
- End lag increased to 22 frames and landing lag increased to 13 frames.
- Current issue
- It covers a very large amount of space.
-
Down tilt
Buff - Proposed adjustment
- End lag reduced to 26 frames.
Where The Source Is Unclear
- "Gunning missile will have 3 frames of end lag" is unusually low and the source does not say whether this is an absolute value or a reduction.
