I find it sad that some people are mad about Pyra/Mythra because they're "anime swordsman". Like, I can only hope that's a joke, because if not, then they both don't understand the inaccuracy of that signifier in the first place, nor the reason it was even started as a complaint in the first...

Well then slow down Acceleratle or speed up Sonic? I think Sonic is fast enough for this game, and any faster would end up being uncomfortable for both sides, so I pick the former.

The next step would then be to yourself: "Is my criticism actually constructive? Does it mesh with what a fighting game usually has? Does a fighting game need this or is it there for a reason?" I think the problem the first poster had (and most people have with the type of people who seem to...

So wait, are we banning mapping specifically because it makes pro controller better than gc controller? If so, hell no.

Like @SMAASH! Puppy said, your criticism doesn't really handle scrutiny even in a casual environment, since agile characters, by their nature, will be able to get to items much easier and use them more often than less agile ones. On top of this, the bad recovery of most heavyweights works worse...

Their oppressive advantage states are only an illusion though. Well not quite. What I mean is that they seem to be more oppressive than agile characters because the skill level to reach that oppression is easier. However, when an agile character can combo and pressure, they have just as...

Doesn't really say how they should be fixed per se. The closest to that is noting Rivals of Aethers' heavyweight design being far more varied, which I, at least, have consistently advocated for for years. Honestly, I still see Rivals of Aether as more of an evolution of what the platform fighter...

Why are we trying to? Some characters should have more combos than others. This is one of the differences between fighters that should be highlighted. What I think would be a similar effect without removing uniqueness is giving more defensive tools for heavies to use (including making weight...

Glad you got with the times finally, considering everyone, including me, was basically saying that to you in the first 2 or so pages of this entire thread lol.

They might have been constrained by the engine, which is what I meant in that reply to you. But really, that last part about sticking with what they were familiar with is exactly what I've been going against in this thread and the main critique I have of those types of mods. Even if they...

Firstly, I simply said heavies get more DI, not that lighter characters get less, per se. The formula should simply be used to make weightier characters have more than base DI, not the inverse. Secondly, lighter characters should die faster anyway. Obviously not by removing DI from their...

Well, from my perspective, if I were given the goal, "make X smash game as perfectly balanced as possible without completely neutering the unique aspects of each fighter", I would sort of be obligated to be impartial. For example, even though Dedede, Zelda, and Link are my current Ultimate...

Not sure why you bring that up? Project M isn't as well designed or balanced as it could be because they try to emulate Melee, which itself isn't a competitively designed game.

While I like that they are making progress, it's 20 years too late. This slow trundle towards only sort of viable heavies is maddening when it can be done with a simple paradigm shift in what Smash is supposed to be.

And I've said it before. This idea that the dev team seems to go for with designing and balancing around casual play is the main issue of this discrepancy, and I would posit is the main reason why no Smash game has been closely balanced, with the most "casual" smash, Brawl, being the absolute...
