wow its just like balanced brawl. the explosion is a hitbox now

 

[DaDavid]

That's not how balance works. If a character is seen as being toxic during play where his moveset has options for everything or if he has a "one beats all" move, then there's a problem. I mean, just look at Meta Knight in Brawl.

I'm not seeing how something like Meta Knight can't be avoided by making others better and/or tweaking the mechanics of the game such that those options aren't as overwhelming anymore, without directly nerfing that character.

Whether or not that's how "balance works," it appears to be how Sakurai balances.

If there is a Direct tomorrow, you give me Krystal or Shadow!

SHADOW! SHADOW! SHADOW! SHADOW!

 

[Sashimi]

There are people complaining about this move...

Do you also get mad when you get hit by Falcon Punch?

No because Captain Falcon wasn't extremely OP in Brawl.

Neither was Diddy. He's good of course, but "extremely OP?" Naw.

 

[Kenith]

Well, he's going to be if they don't stop giving him so many buffs.
And was statistically better than every other character sans Meta Knight and Olimar.

 

[DaDavid]

Provided this game plays exactly like Brawl. Which we already know it won't.

The worry just seems premature considering how little we know about what changes other characters, and the game itself, has received.

I just don't want another game where five characters are viable for high-level play. Melee and Brawl were both like this.

I agree, it's very annoying to basically know which characters are going to be in a Grand Final, I suppose I just trust that Sakurai wouldn't be giving these buffs unless Diddy needed them in this new game.

I know Meta Knight happened and balancing has never been that great, but he's got a larger team and a different mindset going into this game than Brawl or even Melee.

Sakurai has been playing brawl minus. This move isn't op in any way, but it will be awesome if someone were to land a hit with it.

 

[Bamboo]

Diddy being my main in brawl. Im pretty excited Popgun buff !!

 

[Fansmash]

It's cool to know that this attack will be dangerous for the opponent and I adore the expressions of Diddy and Bowser.

 

[DrizzyDrew]

very cool addition to diddy...I would love to experiment with this

Yeah, Metaknight was kinda OP, using smashspams all the time and being fast, and strong both... I hope sakurai makes speed characters at the cost of their power this time... But then again, i guess there's always a way people will find out how to "misuse" a character.

 

[Lizalfos]

Cool, I can quote this.
I bet its part of giving every character at least one super powerful attack despite how bad it might be.

Jigs unviable competitively confirmed!

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

I meant the move being bad not the character.

 

[Thane of Blue Flames]

I'm wondering if Sakurai has just straight up scrapped Brawl and Melee models and this is actually going to be Smash 64 PART DEUX

"Try this on a shield break" -> Good lord, please let shield traps and ungodly hitstun return :D

Don't get hit.

 

[DrizzyDrew]

i wonder if this will also damage diddy?....hmmm

 

[DrizzyDrew]

i would kill to see this game in motion. The facial expressions say it all!

 

[Wasp]

i wonder if this will also damage diddy?....hmmm

I think so... same like Roy and Ike's fully charged Sword, Dedede's Rocket Hammer...

 

[WALUIGIOFFICIAL WAA]

This reminds me of Brawl Minus´s Diddy Kong

 

[Luco]

Stop buffing characters that were already good.

I get the feeling they plan on buffing everyone.

It doesn't ease my fears of insane comeback Lucarios though.
