Does anyone think that doc would be a better/worse character if he had a normal sex kick instead of the reverse?

also, do you think the game would be fundamentally different if ALL sex kick were reverse sex kicks?

i know nothing about doc,
however, i think that if the spacies' sex kicks were reversed that would affect nair shine.
im not sure luigi mains would like it.
thats my 2 cents

yeah, shieldstun would be reversed too if they got stronger longer. thats one thing that was always weird this weekend when i got hit by doc's late nair, the shieldstun was much longer and made it safer and stuff.

things like nair across the stage would be different, and nairs oos would be significantly weaker, especially as a "get off me" option.

i feel like if a normal nair was the "get stronger later" and one character had the initial hitbox is strong option, it'd feel broken.

I'd rather have Fox's nair reversed. That would be pretty ****. I mean you could just throw out nairs all day and **** ****

Actually no I like Fox's nair as is.

The standard sex kick and the reverse sex kick both have advantages and disadvantages. For example, standard sex kick oos is good while Doc's oos is not as strong. But Doc's sex kick is good when FH n.airing, especially against puffs.

Yes, yes, I realize they're different. I personally think that they did it right with a weakening hitbox for most characters, but otg was doing veeery well when it came to placing that meaty hitbox places. As a user of sheiks weak nair to combo things, I think it'd be terrible for the weak hitbox to be first, cause the move would last too long to follow it. I think the way peach and luigi get out of combos would definitely be different. They'd be able to put on some damage, but it probably wouldn't cause knockdowns and such like they do now.

With that being said, I think docs initial hitbox nair is sufficiently strong for most things. It just goes from okay to beastly.

I just think that the fact that they made docs the way it is gives us something to think about, and I don't think its a topic that's been discussed much, from what I can tell.
