How is Sakurai removing an advertised feature of the character? Did the Luma suddenly vanish from the game? Does Rosalina being vunerable to pummeling suddenly completely destroy the purpose of Luma altogether? Rosalina was advertised as a character capable of conducting a Luma for utility and flexibility. She's still got that, they've simply tweaked it and until we play the new patch, we won't know how much it really hurts the character.
But lets put that aside, are we really going to be using canon as an argument against this nerf? Because last time I checked, Rosalina treated the Luma as if they were her kids, and never threw them against lasers and bombs as a human shield. You could argue that now she'll have to be more careful about keeping the Luma alive and safe, almost like, I dunno, a Mother? If canon is going to be pulled in here, we better see Ganondorf running around with Super Armor on 90% of his movepool.
But with that all said, I digress. I feel that we need to take baby steps when it comes to balance patches. Don't make any hasty judgements until the patch is in our hands to fully explore. Keep in mind, if Sakurai claims to be listening, you can make your voices heard if a nerf feels too extreme. I'm sure we'll be seeing patches for a good year at the very least.
