Well, you might as well stay mad forever then kink. Ryoko already said he wouldn't be re-implementing 1.0 Dins. :p

Also, there's a zelda 2.6 changelist in the zelda social thread. Last page. Critical sweetspots are slightly bigger and norm sweetspots are a bit more powerful. About 8% earlier kill when I tested.

did zero suit get changed at all? I had a feeling she might have been quietly buffed and nobody would notice lol

Feel free to post complaints that I won't read.

I didn't take into account basically anything from 2.5 so any major difference in character placement for characters that did not receive many changes is because of just that: I threw out basing the list on reflection of my previous thoughts on characters and just went off first thoughts in this build standing alone.

I find this list to be very agreeable. Just from first impressions, anyways.

what all did he get? i played a dev build at sethlon's not even two weeks ago and the only outright noticable nerf was his usmash being slightly weaker. like, killing 10% later.

Arrow shot slower/longer:making SH arrow to waveland or item toss worse/undoable
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=QHcWCsLuAgc#t=128s
As well as the arrows themselves slower (this is why they feel weirder to control differently, and obviously goes along with making them worse).

Bair also lasts longer, don't know if nerf but pretty sure i'd say (I mean I think the hitbox is lasting longer as well but you then can't wall with jumps as much which is important or just plain do something else in the air after it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=U8ivImWJO4Q#t=316s
http://www.youtube.com/watch? ist=UUYfqQybWKZ36R3E07KuQFg&v=6Ub2eoALL4U&feature=player_detailpage#t=140s [Walling]
and maybe effects its SH Autocancel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=QHcWCsLuAgc#t=20s).

Then there's more stuff than that but change list awaits: like grounded side-b having its IASA come a bit later, making Side-b cancel to grab require a bit more space (as well as control to lower closer to the ground to prepare for the cancel taking longer)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=U8ivImWJO4Q#t=76s

And shield taking longer to end
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=U8ivImWJO4Q#t=61s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=U8ivImWJO4Q#t=435s

And Up-b taking longer to end and aerials being more like Brawl as in weaker and shown visually to be less meaty [Look at Up-air/Nair, in Brawl you can see the actual sword much better as it spins]).

I put Ivysaur mid tier because I think she's going to do some incredible stuff in the hands of the right person in the very near future. There has to be some **** with her we haven't figured out. She has too many options not to be amazing. And now that her approaching and baiting is faster with a buffed Fair and razor leaf, mmmm I'm hype.

If you could DA someone though, wouldn't you be in a position to just outright grab them? Besides falling off edges with it?

DA overshoots a lot of defensive DDing. It also has more reward than a grab, since most of Diddy's throws are positional in nature rather than setup.

I feel like Diddy is definitely very strong in PM, but something about his playstyle just doesn't click for me. Which I feel is pretty odd because he was one of like two characters that I could actually have some fun playing in Brawl. Gave him the ol' college try, but he felt kinda Brawl+ to me, at least back in 2.5. Don't really know if that's changed in 2.6.
