Jesus Christ Nintendo, what year is this?

He's not wrong. Hell, there's even a character designed to automatically force any other opponent into a passive role.

But we should. Because it'd be hilarious.

Except that is not how game balance works at all, and that if you want an actually competitively viable game that has the slightest chance at a sustainable community, things need to be balanced all throughout, with as close to equal matchups for every character against every other. That is why...

The point is that people are forced to face Little Mac primarily on a stage where they'd never actually be made to face in in actual competitive play.

For what it's worth, in an actual tournament, any opponent worth their salt is going to autoban FD at the slightest possibility of going up against a Little Mac. For Glory is just a ridiculously broken mode, and Little Mac just happens to be one of the characters that really benefits from it...

After having gotten my hands on the game, and having seen first hand how silly the grind is for all the custom moves, as much as I really wanted to have them in competitive play, this really kills it. From a mechanical point of view, they offer a lot of new gameplay opportunities to a lot of...

Relying on counter picks for 'balance' is always bad for fighting games. No exceptions.

To split the Smash community up as much as possible, as that is surely the best method to ensure a healthy, long lived community!

No 10characters

Frame data. As in, the data for the timing and hitboxes of characters and their moves. There's no way to put in an objective algorithm for calculating tier placement. There are too many situational elements to the game, as well as the fluidity of the metagame and dependence on mind games for...
