interestingly enough, Samus is one of the first fighters i researched and created patch notes for, but since i was doing the fighters in order, i've had these ones lying around for a while now. Note: this thread is part of a project i am doing to create a hypothetical finalised patch for the game. Before you say anything, yes i am aware that we may never get another balance patch, but with rumours of the switch getting a port of the game, they may do something similar to what they did with MK8, and if so, there would most likely be a balance patch involved as well.

Run speed: 1.504 -> 1.51
