Smash Ace
Alright I know this is going to get flamed a lot but I wanted to ask something about this and bring up some points, so bare with me.
I know the game has barely been out for but a month or so now, but all over the place, in videos and in discussions, I hear talks of how better Marth is than the rest of the cast. He has amazing kill power, speed, range, safety, he's the only character as of now that is KNOWN to have invincibility on one of his moves (sakurai wanted to turn marth into a shoto from street fighter, up B has 5 frames of invincibility sort of like a shoryuken). Everything he has seems better than everything else any other character has.
All I see is extreme unbalance. I'm in no rush to run off and ban the character now, but in the future if the game develops and pans out and we find out that Marth towers above the rest of the cast in every way possible, and tournaments degenerate into Marth vs. Marth, I feel like it might actually be a warranted course of action. If a character is truly so good that he waters down the gameplay and completely outclasses every other character in the game, I seriously feel like it should be done. If the rest of the cast turns out to be balanced and there's no other character that completely just dominates, it should be an easy choice. That way there could be character diversity and more even tiers.
But like I said things need to play out a bit and we need to see how the meta game evolves. How does everyone else feel about this?
