The Japanese are smart!

I just finished watching a match of a (Japanese) Lucario Vs. Diddy Kong, and the way they "tried" making it balanced really caught my attention.

Lucario was given 7 stocks while Diddy Kong was given 12. Now, the first person to lose 3 stocks lost the match just like any other normal match. I think Lucario was given lower stocks because of his power system.

Now, could we possibly use something like this?

[Zankoku]

I think you were watching a casual match of some sort.

 

[zeldspazz]

He's saying that they gave Lucario less stock because that way he is technically "losing" and his aura power kicks in, but they dont wait for stocks to run out for the game to end, they just end it once one person loses 3 of their stocks.

 

[Col. Stauffenberg]

So.... this wouldn't matter for any character other than Lucario?

I'm confused.

 

[Flayl]

Sounds stupid and sounds like giving Lucario an unecessary buff.

 

[ice_cream_man]

i'm just gonna say wow.

 

[WhatIsRaizen?]

This will make Lucario better than MK! Wouldn't it?

Imagine 3 stocks Vs. 99 0_o

 

[WhatIsRaizen?]

I'd really like to see a pro Lucario vs. a pro MK using this system now. lol

/is this a double post? sorreh

 

[zeldspazz]

Im pretty sure the power level for [x] number of stocks behind caps just like the percentage caps.

 

[Zankoku]

This is also a really dumb idea. I wouldn't even expect Japan to do something like this unless they were just messing around.

 

[AlMoStLeGeNdArY]

link or it didn't happen.

 

[rathy Aro]

Its not a bad idea if they want to give lucario an advantage. What's dumb is that they would give lucario, a decent character. an advantage, but no one else.

 

[DoonKoon]

I think they only do it for Lucario's disadvantage match-ups. This actually balances the game out for Lucario more, so it doesn't give him the advantage.

the videos are on youtube somewhere

 

[Col. Stauffenberg]

That's no different than setting a damage handicap to try to make up for a disadvantaged matchup. Which is an awful idea for so many reasons that I hope I don't have to explain.

It was a wifi match.
lol

 

[Col. Stauffenberg]

lol, that wasn't even to try to handicap the match, then. That was done so Lucario wouldn't be WEAKENED by the third player being dead.

 

[G-Beast]

against Lucario this isnt what i would call handicap..

 

[hippiedude92]

imagine, how long brawl tourneys would take if they followed this system? -_- lol

 

[prOAPC]

how did they do the math?

lol

If only the OP had said this was a wifi match with an observer, I could have immediately agreed that it was a smart idea. -______________-

I'm curious how they did that math though

oh amazing read stauffy.

 

[Pikabunz]

Even with those stock differences, Lucario is still a little weaker than normal.

 

[Padô]

I heard those players were playing many matches with Pokeballs on SUPERHIGH but unfortunately on this one they set accidently shut all the items OFF.

I know a good buff for Wario... Put 30 minutes on each match and I promisse I will fart 15 times in a match.

Ok, now honestly, what an bull**** idea won't change anything.

 

[T-block]

Lucario has 7 stocks up on the observer, and is 5 behind his opponent.

8 / ((-5*-5+11*7)/(5+7)) = 8/(17/2) = 16/17

So he's slightly nerfed

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

^this is a Smart tactic although it backfired slightly, It was a smart Idea.

 

[Zankoku]

lol, closing this now that we know.
