Pit & Dark Pit 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. Neutral air

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Start up increased to frame 6.

   Current issue

   It is often unreactable.

2. Forward tilt

   Buff

   Proposed adjustment

   Start up decreased to frame 8.

   Current issue

   It is too easy to avoid.
