This is a thought I had, what if we as a community banned together to spam Nintendo with demands for one last and final character balancing patch to incorporate changes to allow for more combo potential to characters who need it. Just think about it, they've already shown us that they've been listening to us since they host annual Smash tournaments now. And we also know they are capable of doing a patch.
To set some ground rules to the changes we want:
1. No changes involving the mechanics or physics of the game...and by this I mean no asking for L-canceling or wave dashing. Sakurai himself even stated in a recent Q&A that he doesn't want to add techs like that, and to ask him to do so would eliminate any chance we have of getting anything fixed.
2. Changes should only involve stuff like knock back, damage, shield damage, hit boxes, frames (start up, cool down, and hits)...an example would be like adding range to Marth's sword or reducing the knock back of Marth's down throw to allow for easier follow ups.
Lets work together to come up with the changes we want beforehand and then send them to Nintendo via their mailing address (found on their website), and any other means (excluding anything illegal).
I understand any skeptics out there that doubt that this would even be possible, and to that I say be a little more optimistic, if we fail we fail, what's the worst that can happen?
