Characters that are fine:
Marth, Game and Watch, Luigi, Diddykong, Donkeykong, Wario, Snake, Rob, Toon Link, Lucario, Metaknight, Dedede, Peach, Wolf, Falco, Zero Suit Samus
Characters that need small tweaks
Mario- After KB nerfs needs small buffs. IMO Maybe a slight Fludd Buff Otherwise focus on his Gimping game a bit, OR make one of his throws more functional. Remove Dtilt buff,
Link- If his Arrows are toned down PERHAPS work with his recovery a bit I recall an idea of letting him tether after Up B or maybe make Up B hit harder. Gale Boomerang have more funtionality.
Zelda/Shiek- Shiek is fine. Zelda needs some tweaks. Din Fire less laggy either on Zelda or the move itself or maybe causes shield damage.
Samus- The Zair and Dtilt nerf will help signifgantly and I like the Jab link thing. It maybe just me but I think tone her Fsmash down just a bit.
Kirby- Needs a tiny buff. Maybe more damage on Nair or something. Still a fair char.
Pit- Like the Ftilt buff but may need a setup in Nair or a less SDIable Fsmash
Fox-I think he is good but maybe still hindered by his fastfall and light weight. Add Shield damage to Dair or maybe even adding it to Lazers
so Fox has a better chance at poking through shield with other moves.
Sonic- New Dtilt is a awsome but lets add a Nair setup and Emergency Kill Bthrow.
Olimar- Still seems too overpolarizing to many characters. Either change him or help the chars deal with him more.
IceClimbers- A character that is basically immune to grounded grab attacks maybe still tipping the polarization scales too much.
Falcon- Slight nerf to UpB needed but compensate with a Side B that allows for more followups or a Dtilt that is more functional. Or maybe tack some Shield damage to Bair. Besides that Fine for the most part
Pikachu- Seems fine but might need a tiny buff here or there
Characters that Need something different.....:
Ike- Mixed on his case. Id say add Shield damage to Jab 1 and 2 and well as Fair and Filt. I also think he should keep the Dsmash change but nerf the knockback a bit. Also Make throw have more rewarding angles such as Dthrow have less growth to it.
Bowser- Poor Recovery and Huge Size still hinders him greatly. Either make throws more useful, Fire Breath faster or more functional, or add some Shield damage to Fair and Ftilt. OR work with his Recovery maybe make it function more like grounded fortress but weaker or somehow make it push enemies signifigantly away when caught in it.
Yoshi- Dont know but maybe needs some throw buffs which equates to better setups.
Pokemon Trainer: Switching speed up make him more diverse and flexible within his stamina mechanic.
Squirtle- Fine
Ivysaur- Still feels like the weak link of the three. Needs a Razor Leaf buff or Shield Damage added to Fair, Dtilt, Nair, or maybe Razor Leaf pick one or two.
Charizard- Feels more Balanced but needs one or two buffs perhaps in the areas of Fair, Ftilt, Uptilt, or Upsmash for a better OUTTA Shield option
Jigglypuff- Keep the Dair buff but make it less powerful or focus giving shield damage into her Bair and maybe re-add nair buff. Concerned about Diddy matchup
Ness - Stills suffers from Short Range, Sluggish Moves, and an awkward recovery. My suggestions is make PK fire happen faster, have less end lag or activate on more occasions (especially on shield) or perhaps make Fair or DashAtk safer on shield.
Lucas - Hard to say. Ill wait till the purposed fixes are in place
Ganondorf - Actually feels he's at average or slighly below that but still needs an at lease average Approach option or something to deal with the most polarizing of his matchups. IMO It could be adding Super Armor to Flamechoke, Making Jab faster but weaker, or work out somekind of method where his attacks have more Shield Stun......but yeah....its still difficult though..........
Brawl Devs should have gotten him right in developement
Done for Now
