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. Up air

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Start up increased to frame 7.
    Current issue
    It combos multiple times, to the point where it can kill.

  2. Neutral air

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    End lag increased to frame 21 and landing lag increased to 9 frames.
    Current issue
    It is a non-risky combo tool that helps him a lot in neutral.

  3. Up tilt

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    End lag increased to frame 18.
    Current issue
    Its quick hitbox often sets up the up air combos.
