Link to original post: [drupal=2103]If One Move Was Changed...[/drupal]



Lately, I've been thinking that on some characters, if just one of their moves was changed, that character could be so much better or worse.

Olimar: If his recovery was changed, (into one that's mediocre like Ike's) he could be a high-B/low-A tier character! Why? Because, in my opinion, Oli has great moves... all except his recovery. And if you asked Smashers who their worst match up, most of them would probably tell you Olimar! He really gets under your skin! The best strategy, for me, has always been to just try to knock him off the stage as much as possible.

Diddy Kong If he didn't have his banana peels, Diddy would probably be high-C tier. His peels are the beginning to so many of his combos and they totally control the stage! And it's obviously the main reason he's (in most tier lists) considered an S-tier character.

King Dedede: If he didn't have a chain grab, he would probably be a high-C/low-B tier! He does have pretty good moves such as Waddle Dee throw, his aerials, etc. But the reason so many people use him and do well with him is his AMAZING chain grabs! I have a feeling many people are going to disagree with this but it's just my opinion.


Meta Knight: If he had a chain grab like D3. *Shudder*

Anyways, that's it for now! I would really like to your opinions so post 'em!!!

If Ganon's Warlock Punch had the same startup and cooldown lag as MK's Dsmash, then we'd have a balanced game. ;D

What if the spacies didn't have lazors? If Snake didn't have grenades? If Diddy didn't have bananas? If Sonic was slow? If Link could glide?

If Mario has Marth's range.

And Ness had Melee Fox's shine.

And Ganondorf had 64 Pikachu's throws.

And Kirby had 5 jumps.

And Wario had Mario's range he stole from Marth.

... I'd probably quit Smash.

If Wario had Melee Luigi's Dsmash I'd quit this game.

I would be very happy?

Unless you mean that it's what it is now + a tether, and not just the move being replaced with a tether.
But I wouldn't quit for that.

Replace Meta Knight's crappy fsmash with his final smash.
That would balance the poor guy.

If Peach's USmash always sweetspotted, all of her kill problems would disappear. And ZSS with a decent FSmash would be nice too.

If bowser was always in his giga bowser state he would have a auto win on everyone.

Seriously though, if bowser was smaller and had a less ending lag on some moves he could go a long way.
Actually, if bowser had some anti-CG shield he could even further.

If CF had more priority and knee had a better hitbox he would make a good character.

Make Ike's forward smash slightly faster. It would break the game, literally; the disc would just crumble to pieces after so much fsmash.

Remove Dedede's chain grab. This is coming from a Dedede main. That'd let Bowser and Ganondorf actually become slightly viable. Who knows? Maybe it could let Wario take the #2 spot to boot.

Falco vs Ganon is like 99/1. :(

LOL, Snake would be like 65/35 in his favor against D3. He is only bad against the CG, and the edgeguard out of the CG. You wouldn't be able to put him into the one position where he is bad against you.
