>Zelda and Meta Knight are excellent design
I think Cfalcon is fine, personally. He doesn't lose hard to any character in particular that isn't already problematic across the board. Same for Sheik. Mario needs more than very small tweaks, the character has very few weaknesses, if any.
My tweaks for Mario:
- laggier or shorter cape
- smaller up b hitbox with less priority
- maybe smaller f smash
- some kind of fireball nerf
Sheik just needs her old down throw considering many characters like Mario and Ness basically can do whatever they want with theirs. Maybe better side b chain thing or remove her down b chnage move like in smash 4.
I love Cap Falcon but if he had his 64 Falcon Punch, faster tilts, and lasting hitboxes using his fire, he would be off the charts with awesomeness.
Please don't buff Olimar or Yoshi or luigi, they are fine and great
Just nerf the stupid and let the other characters show they are solid characters that get bogged down by jank
Olimar has broken recovery, the worst survivabilty overall, too much need for setup, a confusing gimmick that's hard to keep track of, he can lose his recovery and most of his normals, surprisingly bad priority, he is clunky and stuck with his options, and he's luck based. If that doesn't sound like a bad character, then I don't know what is. Yeah his combos are great and his gimmick is fantastic if used right, but why if he can't even survive long enough for his pikmin to flower and stuff.
Yoshi doesn't 100% have his signature aMsa Melee stuff yet and he could do with a couple of small buffs here and there.
Luigi was a high mid tier at best from Melee and the standards have upped dramatically since then and he is barely changed.
