DACUS and Glide Tossing nerfed, why?

[Roche_CL]

Here's the thing..
This 2 advanced techniques from brawl were nerfed a lot in PM.

What was the thought process in that? I'm just curious.

I ask cause some friends who played brawl find kinda dissapointing that their advanced techniques were removed.
Maybe PM would attract more brawl players if those advanced techs remain the same.
I guess they feel like when melee players had L-cancel and WD removed in brawl .

Wasn't necessarily a direct nerf, but a result of character attributes being changed. DACUS is based on a number of factors so there's reasons behind why Ganondorf and Lucas have long ones while Snake's dropped off heavily.

Glide Tossing's reduced effect likely has everything to do with overall reduced traction.

They're both "victim" of faster jump start-up frames and increased friction.

As long as I can DACUS out of F-throws and do glide tricks off-stage with Link, then it's working.

Yeah Ike's DACUS is so much worse than in Brawl

Hmmm, that makes sense now, thanks for the explanation
