Super smash bros melee isn’t that balanced (though they did step it up since super smah bros 64). Pikachu and Pichu aren’t balanced Pikachu has more reach, power, weight and he doesn’t hurt himself. All Pichu’s got is maybe some more speed. Link and Y.Link aren’t balanced, Link has more reach on every single move, he has more power on everything, he’s hevier and he has better revovery because he can do the up-B and a hookshot. All Y.Link has is more running speed, less start up lag on 2 moves (f-tilt and f-smash), and maybe more combo ability due to reduced knock back. Roy and Marth aren’t Balanced Marth is faster, he’s hevier, he has more reach, he has a better sweet spot (since he has more reach and a better sweetspot all he needs is proper spacing and he can absolutly tear Roy apart), more Power on sweetspots (his sweetspots have better knockback than Roy’s), better Recovery because he floats more, better air attacks, he jumps higher, wider and he can combo better and he has more Power on every A attack. All Roy’s got is a few better B moves and more Power on grabs. I absolutly hate that I really do I just wish that Nintendo doesn’t make the same mistakes with Brawl.
