Design by committee sounds like a pretty bad idea. The fact that you gave Lucina sweetspots when her character design was intended NOT to have those doesn't really give me any confidence that this project is practicing good game design.

Give players a universal reason to approach.

Who would you trust to balance the customs?

First things first: damage percentages are used to break ties for all modes, with sudden death happening if those, too, are tied. Now, you know that DoT one gets when they're near the blastzone? Extend that all the way to the center of the stage, and then have the damage shrink as a character...

I like the way you think Fframran, but i'd take away the ability to perfect shield unblockable attacks. I mean, isn't an entire 60 frames (or more) long enough to move out of the way? While we're wishing, I'd also love for certain melee attacks to ignore perfect shielding (i.e. they are always...

The least-game-impacting items are probably the smokeballs, sandbag, and food, in order of impact. If a competitive mode wanted to include items that weren't smashballs, those would probably be it.

Seconding this, they have a lot of tournament experience that would come in handy and they both communicate their ideas very well.

Sounds unfair to the rest of the tournament players. I guess its for the best since longer matches between the top players makes for better spectating in addition to the increased accuracy.

Is there a reason for using 3o5 partway through a 2o3 tournament?

There are too many characters in smash for that to work, seeing as each individual character has 20+ moves to know, instead of the usual 4 to 6 moves available to most moba characters.

Probably better to just ignore posts like that, man. I for one am super, SUPER impressed with abodango's pacman right now. I don't even care about the time-outs, its just refreshing to see high-level play from relatively unplayed characters. Same goes for number's wiifit trainer, very...

Creating an interesting and unique playstyle sometimes means that a character doesn't get moves that represent the series they're from.

In regards to projectiles, I'm not very convinced of their dominance considering the proliferation of anti-projectile specials among the characters. That's probably why there are so many in the first place!

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this, but is there a thread or post I can read that can better explain the necessity of team attack?

Don't feed the trolls. I'm glad that PM exists; players can continue to play their favorite characters and its interesting to see how the development team's balancing efforts evolve over time. At this point though I don't see a reason for anyone to continue playing vanilla brawl.
