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. Side special (Boomerang)

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Moves slightly slower.
  2. Down tilt

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    Deals slightly less knockback.
    Reason
    So that it combos better.
