What if Rosalina was a heavyweight?

Like in the Mario games. How drastically do you think that would change the character? Would you like it? Would you hate it? Would you not care?

If she was a heavyweight, without any of her other attributes changed, then she would be pretty OP.

Attributes included, so faster falling speed, lower jumps, higher survivability, etc.

Weight does not influence how high you can jump. That is actually determined by the gravity attribute. I've actually tested this out with two different Bowser Jr. customizations.

Bowser Jr. #1
+43 Attack
+43 Defense
+43 Speed
No bonus effects

Bowser Jr. #2
+43 Attack
+43 Defense
+55 Speed
Anchor Jump + Sprinter bonus effects

Although Bowser Jr. #2 has a higher speed value than Bowser Jr. #1, his jump height is lower, because of the Anchor Jump bonus effect's impact on the gravity attribute. Anchor Jump doesn't just increase the falling speed of a fighter, but it also increases his/her gravity as well.

Simply put, while Bowser Jr. #2 should jump higher than Bowser Jr. #1 for having a higher speed value, Anchor Jump's gravity increase causes him to jump lower than if that bonus effect was removed altogether.

As for the subject on Rosalina's weight, no heavier than 100 would seem right, and she would still be very floaty with her low falling speed and low gravity.

She'd be too good. She's light because she has luma as a meatshield, it's a balancing mechanic. If they in turn nerfed Luma to compensate not sure I'd like it. Seems like it'd take away from her uniqueness as a character.
