Olimar Balance Changes

Olimar is rarely punished for throwing Pikmin around or for losing them, so he should have to balance throwing them away against keeping them for close range.

Balance Philosophy

Nerf around three moves per character that are too oppressive inside an already strong kit. Not every suggestion needs to be implemented.

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. Side special (Pikmin Throw)

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Start up increased to frame 12.

  2. Neutral special (Pikmin Pluck)

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    End lag increased to frame 15.
