It's cause I think Bayonneta's combo's are ridiculous, you can combo into UpB 3 times & her recovery is stupid safe, Cloud... I think it's his sword and limit break that makes him hard to deal.On the upside, he has poor recovery. and diddy kong moves has surprising good range, "Hoo-Haw" is just too good,and his throws... I don't know if his throws are good or bad.

I'd say it'd be good for the game overall but I personally wouldn't be happy about yet another patch going by if all we got were those changes, why bother nerfing the top tiers if we aren't going to buff the bottom tiers?

Interesting, what low/bottom tier characters would you guys buff? I would buff DDD, Jigglypuff, Kirby, Mr.Game&Watch, and Wario(He's so weak now...).
P.S.:I think duck Hunt is good and higher than he is on the tier list, it's just hard to hit those moves.

P.S. "Hoo Hah" got nerfed hard a while ago.

Buffing vs nerfing is always tricky, you do need both to make your game balanced but endlessly buffing will lead to power creep and other problems.

Would I like a patch that nerfs them? Yes. Would I like a patch that only nerfs them? No. That's why 1.16 was so ineffectual. Sure it made Bayonetta ever so slightly less broken, but Jigglypuff and Zelda are still kind of just sitting there patiently waiting for buffs that will never come.

Jigglypuff will never be buffed. Sakurai clearly wants every game to have a joke character, and with the loss of pichu that became jigglypuff.

I feel like Rosa takes #3 over Diddy simply because of the reliable safe options and how hard it is to play around Luma with some characters

I'd rather have some characters buffed. Diddy Kong has been nerfed enough that he doesn't need to be nerfed again. Bayonetta does need to be toned a tad, just because one hit is all it takes, and her combos can be reliably followed up, regardless of the percentage. Or so I've been told. If I could buff Samus, I'd have the following.

  1. Slight increase in speed.
  2. F-smash would be given a better hitbox because it still whiffs!
  3. Faster charge for the charge shot and a little more knock back.
  4. More hitstun on the first jab.

I wouldn't mind seeing them nerfed but I would rather see others buffed instead. Nerfing them wouldn't fix puff or zeldas core flaws.
