For the uninformed, Zhime is the best Zelda player to date, he has gone toe to toe with m2k and mang0. This is his combo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E91_wfIFnx8. Within the video he displays the high skill cap of the old fireballs. They had kill and combo potential. They were undoubtedly Zelda's most valuable asset.
At the time Zelda was considered to be an upper mid-tier character by most of the community(not OP by any means). Then the three fireballs were removed in favor of one fireball. IMO this was a huge mistake. her combo potential was gutted and she descended down most tier lists.
You may say this is because the fireballs stalled the neutral game and they forced the opponents to approach. That's the point of a projectile. Think about it: Falco lasers, snake's grenades, pika's jolt, Lucario's aura shperes, and many others. I don't understand why they gutted it.
Thoughts?
