I firmly believe that there is a limit to how many distinct matchups a competitive fighting game asks it’s players to memorize. When you start asking people to memorize hundreds of distinct matchups the game starts to reward memorization over its actual gameplay. However I also recognize that...

A lot of these posts, including the opening one, layout changes that would definitely make Kirby better but mostly in ways that any character could benefit from. I think an interesting alternative direction to take would be to think about what the SMALLEST change you could make to Kirby to make...

I have personally noticed a trend that people get more aggressive when you copy their neutral. I also feel that they become more likely to use it right after you copy it. Do you all notice these things as well, and is it part of your playstyle? I’ve recently started copying abilities off of very...

I just reread my post. I didn’t say anything about the intangibility being adjusted. I’m actually very comfortable with how it is in ultimate. Maybe your talking about the part where I mention being able to act out of love fast enough to get a follow up? I like what your saying about the armor...

Oh yeah. That’s a good idea too. I didn’t play Zelda in project m really so I didn’t consider that.

I agree that she would be better with a spacing aerial but I also feel that the lightning kicks define her play style. I’ve been speculating that she would be pretty much perfect if love popes opponents up and allowed for a follow up. I like love as a defensive mixup but it presently dosnt even...

I love playing Zelda but I honestly think you are challenging yourself to be much better than your opponent in the neutral by playing her. It’s an uphill battle. She’s got a quirky design with the lightning kicks instead of conventional aerials. This threads been helpful for me too folks. Thanks.

Zeldas design has some strong inherant flaws that aren’t balance issues but design issues. Having high risk lighting kicks as 2 of her aerials puts a lot of pressure on her other moves for spacing. They don’t stand up to that pressure well. She also has close to the body hit boxes on most moves...

Not all of the changes in brawl can be justified by saying that it was an attempt to appeal to a casual audience. Melee was actually extremely successful with the casual audience so it would reason that they didn’t NEED to change anything. I’m not here to argue that point though. It’s my opinion...

I think that the reason people take the thing Sakurai says the way they do is because his actions have already spoken for him. You can say what you want about his supposed intentions or philosophy as a game designer but some of decisions he’s made have sent a message. Brawl specifically features...

Thats really cool. The custom heavy version in Wii U also had super armor. It functioned a bit like having a counter in practice.

Could you link the capture the flag and the quidditch. I would like to see how that works. I was thinking about the handicap, because i think that its one of the most important parts of the format. You need to MVP to be fragile because that way you encourage defensive play. I personally just...

I have actually killed with faclon strike. Its easier to do with platforms but I did it on final dest in practice mode. Up air -> upair -> Falcon strike. I like the dash punch too. However I find that there are lots of situations where it just comes out too late to help at all. you have to be...

Just started a thread about a different team format if anybody here would be interested. I am all about promoting team smash. http://smashboards.com/threads/team-format-proposal-mvp.437081/
