Iunno, they nerf lower characters too. I'm not even just talking about link! Look at charizard! It might have not been much but they still gave him a slight nerf. W-why?
Because F**kurai, that's why.

Is there any buff you'd give Link other than the jab cancel back? I'd increase the hit stun for up tilt and for the bombs.

Also, can we recap all the nerfs he got? Maybe we can see if there's a pattern.
First was the toss cancel, then jab cancel, and now it's bomb slides.

I agree with your suggestions on buffs. If there was another buff I'd give though, it would be to give jab 2 more hit stun and make dtilt faster.

Luigi does not counter Sheik.

If you want a decent counter, its Lucario.

Yeah...what? I completely fail to see how lucario counters sheik. Luigi has a lot of great tools on the other hand to combat her

I got some good wifi games in. I'm trying to be more bold offstage, get used to the attack chains/combos and generally get over my Brawl habits :)

Things that I hope that the patch changes

:4rob:
Up throw kills at higher percentage
Gyro deals less damage
Down throw gives a bit of knock back to get rid of combos

:4yoshi:
Improve egg throw
Side b can be cancelled
U air deals less knock back
Down air does not spike

:4megaman:
Lag on a bunch of his moves

:4link:
Buffs, buffs everywhere
Decrease on d air lag

:4olimar:
Pikmin can be blocked

:4tlink:
Removed from game

Nerfs/Buffs are supposed to help even the game out as a whole.

None of these would help the metagame, these would just destroy honest/obscure characters.

It's stormy and my power's gone out twice tonight. Fortunately I keep a flashlight in easy reach :smirk:
New thread title. If anyone wants to suggest titles go for it. I try to use LoZ references or events.

What the hell is wrong with Mega Man?

But in all reality, the only thing they need to do to properly balance the cast is buff the lower characters to match high tiers.

And maybe reduce the hitstun on sheiks d-throw. Damn thing combos into way to high of percents

Guys...are we sure there will be a balance patch? I didn't see any confirm anywhere. Can you post one if it actually exist?
Also, the first thing that needs a nerfato is Shiek Fair. Absolutely bull****.
Other than that, some buffs to low tiers Link included maybe and than it's fine for me

But.. mega man already has a ton of lag on his moves? Do you even Mega Man? Literally his only low-lag moves generate lemons.

I believe sword users should have increased priority or better hit-boxes to compensate for for the lag in their moves.

In the magical happy fantasy world of 'if SSB4 was balanced competitively'. This is why characters like Sheik, Falcon and Fox are top tier. :urg:

I think they need to nerf Pikachu's quick attack because it's ability to control neutral is insane.
>Covers ground very fast
>Combo starter due to its good hitsun
>Attack --> retreat makes it very hard to punish
>Controllability allows Pikachu to be able to land behind opponents after QA

Basically the only defensive options
availible are throwing out hitboxes in hopes of catching Pikachu or by just sitting in sheild and waiting for the madness to end.

Its not been confirmed. We're just assuming there'll be one since there was one that accompanied the mewtwo patch.

I watched a speedrun of and trying playing Other M again. I renew my criticism of that game. How can people think it's a good game, especially by Metroid standards?!

This was too good not to share
Okay, I seriously want a Zelda game where Link is a thief or has some Robin Hood-like background. I mean, dude's already wearing green! Link already robs everyone blind too! It'd be like Thief, Sly Cooper, sort of Deus Ex, and sort of Prince of Persia - Skyward Sword parkour's expanded. Link's already covered the chosen hero, blacksmith, rancher, fairy kid, sailor, train conductor, knight, and now he's like a hunter/archer for Zelda Wii U, so why not make him a charming thief in a future Zelda game?

Edit: And I sort of want people to react to Link breaking, stealing stuff just for ***** and giggles. :p

I wish we'd hear more about the next LoZ. I can't believe it won't be shown in E3. Xenoblade CX will have to tide over my wander-lust.
