According To Sakurai, Patch 1.0.4 Will Be The Final Balance Patch

[Starman90]

People. Just stick to Melee and PM.

 

[ThePenguinGamer0]

For me, balance patches don't really matter. No character feels too OP when I play the game. What I've been worried about with these patches, however, is the deletion of my precious replays, which thankfully I don't have to worry about anymore. Back to characters though, they all have gotten buffed or nerfed enough, in my opinion. Let players just learn how to counter certain attacks already!

 

[JagoTheTiger]

He's here to stay, folks.

The Banana feels are real here/

 

[taolem]

I guess we don't need to worry about anything being removed anymore.

But honestly, even as a long time Diddy main, he does need a nerf.

 

[warriorman222]

Okay, this site follows eventhubs, and even makes the same name error for Sakurai's name. ok

 

[Smearglangelo]

That's okay. Sm4sh seems very balanced for a Smash Brothers game. Online could also use some improvements.

 

[DarkKiru]

i said balance patching

i hope it's a mistranslation

i don't even care if they're not major patches, just bring the terrible characters in line with the really good ones and I'll be happy

I've heard several people so far say its a mistranslation, I could totally buy it. Eventhubs has ALWAYS been pretty bleh with their translations.

"Sakurai: We don't have any such plans, but at the very least we will be working on a few things connected to the online play experience, bit by bit."

AKA no current plans at the moment.

You people need to chill.

 

[Akaimizu]

You can't rush these things. For proper balance, you need to sit back a bit (while things aren't haywire) and let things properly settle before jumping in. It's way too easy to jump in and fix something that (you find later) never needed to be fixed. This is taking an approach a bit more like actual fighting game companies like Capcom or SNK. They take their good ol' time and let a recipe get fully digested before they decide to tamper with the formula.

Exactly. As long as they keep an eye on the balance in the long run and make adjustments when necessary I'm okay with this. Which would people honestly rather have, a meta that turns out to be SLIGHTLY unbalanced for a few months or a meta that changes every month before it has a chance to develop?

 

[ZobmieRules]

Sweeping changes aren't needed, just lightly smoothing jagged edges. The metagame doesn't change that hard, and people are ever so slightly less butthurt. (BTW, buff please? It's impossible to win with him online.)

 

[Jugoken]

We should all balance the game ourselves with custom equipment, and get into the fun meta game of Smooth Lander + Heavy Gravity AKA MELEE 2.0 :D

 

[Jugoken]

With custom equipmentwe can nerf and buff whoever we see fit! :D

I had a evil, crazy idea that we force Diddys to use Rocketbarrel Kaboom, Exploding Gun, and Battering Peel.

 

[Altais]

I'm just happy Robin can now grab the ledge backward after using Elwind.

My money's on Shulk.

Damn it...
So Dark Pit will forever be the king of second bananas when it comes to Pit? Lame.

Agreed x9000.

 

[Tanark]

Are they serious? So, they just sit and watching

Diddy sweeps the tournament? Oh, come on please,

 

[Jugoken]

IF MR.E CAN BEAT DIDDY WITH HIS MARTH, WE CAN FIND AWAY WITH OUR MAINS TOO! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqsgNI_nn2c

 

[Kingkool]

Ya but Sakurai has said a lot of things that he's gone back on. Not to mention he did say that they would still patch any huge glaring issues and if they keep getting data in about Diddy winning 90% of online matches and Diddy dominating tournaments then they'll most likely fix it. Sakurai says a lot of things that we as a community should stop overreacting to.

 

[Ganreizu]

Damn it...

You might as well ask why the duck hunt dog doesn't sit on the duck's back instead.

 

[BigHairyFart]

I wasn't aware Diddy was 'broken.' What's broken about him?

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Sakura: When playing with your personal friends, I think it's probably more interesting that you can almost cheat a little through customizing your character. *Laughs*​

YOU HAD ONE JOB, DERRIT!
ONE F***ING JOB!

Gosh darn double post.

You forgot that one guy.
...and me

 

[~Burst~]

This is a lie.
Broken mechanics will be found before mewtwo and the inclusion of mewtwo without any testing? Not gonna happen.

 

[ATH_]

I'm half-okay with it. He did say that if he noticed a common problem he would possibly deal with it. So maybe the top 5 will all be reduced to everyone else's level, while the bottom 5 will receive the buffs they need to compete consistently.

 

[Master Jelly]

Well, looks like my G&W is stuck in low tier hell again. Back to PM.

 

[Engage]

As a R.O.B. main who eats Diddy's for breakfast, I am expanding my robotic dong as we type. R.O.B. is fine the way he is, I say just buff his fair to have less landing lag, so I can fair into fair into fair into fair into fair, and make it unF-air.

 

[A_Phoenix_Down]

I don't see any problems besides Diddy but I mean if you wanna go scrub status by all means use him lol... I actually don't think hes that bad to be honest.

But I'm kind of glad if the balancing patches end here. Like I said, the balance is fantastic in this game. Plus, that means the meta can truly be and remain valid.

 

[Retroend]

i'm not surprised by this at all. i had no faith in sakurai concerning this matter to begin with.

 

[TheMiSP]

Would be nice if G&W could get his Brawl smash powers back. I really hoped for him to be the one that's superb for going against top tiers...

 

[BSP]

Expecting loads of Diddy in the top 8 of Apex now since there's no chance of him getting touched before then.

Sigh. Hopefully people adapt instead of running to him.

 

[JesseMcCloud]

R.I.P. Meta Knight. Your reign of terror is officially over.

 

[The Derrit]

Gosh darn double post.

Double post instaban gg

RIP SWEET PRINCE he was da bess 2008 - 2014
BRAWL >SMASH 4 -> At least i main PM Metaknight. Tho i play Smash 4 Diddy Smash 4 ROB will always be my boy He got downgrab upair too kids

 

[N.T.A.O ChangeOfHeart 死の剣]

He's here to stay, folks.

Another MetaKnight here folks yet we blame Brawl and result to banning. I bet Smash-4 wont be like it use to once Diddy Kong takes control now.

I knew this would happen btw, never trust Nintendo they don't care about their fans.
