Characters that have been overall buffed and nerfed from the demo's....

[Kain6th]

This is all subject to change when the final products come out, but from what i've read and seen so far, the following characters have received buffs and nerfs. feel free to correct me as this is only from a 2nd hand observation. someone with hands on experience may want to weigh in

Buffed:
Bowser
DK
Kirby
Link
Luigi
Mario
Pikachu
Pit
Samus (though it seems slight from the topic i read and the videos i watched)
Sheik
Sonic (really happy about this one!)
Toon Link (kinda unsure but it seemed like it)
Yoshi
Zelda
Zero Suit Samus

Nerfed:
Fox
Marth
Olimar

So yeah several characters were buffed, and only 3 so far nerfed. Seems right?

Olimar was nerfed? How? All I'm seeing is a not as finicky, easier to use recovery.

This seems about right, although I heard Olimar's recovery works great despite him only having 3 pikmin out. I only know of Fox's up smash being nerfed.

Fox can now use Fox Illusion, and then recover with Up B. I feel as though that makes up for the loss of Up Smash killing power.

Wasn't Zelda supposed to be nerfed? Also, there really should be a catagory for characters who didn't change in usability.

Ike got buffed up the most.

Oops, wrong buff.

I don't think Olimar got nerfed you just have to play him different now. He's not about spamming Pikmin now.

I haven't seen too much olimar game play so that was mainly from what i read from his respective board. If you have seen a video where he's just owning hardcore i'd love to see it
