Has any creators of the game asked you guys on balance or suggestions?

Can't speak for the invitational players, but at every booth/TV display setup the Nintendo reps were asking what improvements we thought could be made. At first I thought it wouldn't really go anywhere/they wouldn't listen to specific suggestions, but in the VIP area a competitive player (blanking on his name) suggested less landing lag after ariels, and bigger dash dancing, and they took the time to write it down and make sure they got the terminology correct! They seemed genuinely interested!

Make up terms. Complain about the b-canceling and how the landing-boxes aren't centered.

They should bring back wave surfing and dash spinning

u/Jamarac Jun 11 '14

don't forget plate spinning

I demand Inkdropping.

u/1338h4x missingno. Jun 11 '14

Just make sure there are NO NOOCHES.

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '14

In all honesty, I understand why they put nooches in the game. Sure, it may have thrown off landing boxes in the past, but without them people would just keep exploiting the wangcicles.

11

u/DJP0N3 Jun 11 '14

I'm not a big fan of wangcicles in the first place. They were never intended to be in the game, and I would be happy to put up with more nooching if it means less wangcicles.

The real lack of FHWaverolling is really killing the thought process of the players, only if they would remove it - we'd see much more chair stall play and generally better high edge.

u/Indeet Jun 11 '14

Fuckin reddit now I'm giggling reading all this terminology

u/omgitsjavi Jun 12 '14

I'm glad I'm not the only one

u/Tomhap Jun 11 '14

I totally want to diddle the fiddle again.

All this terminology is lost upon me..

SPLATOON

u/K2J Jun 11 '14

Nah, that's already in the new squid game Nintendo showed today.

1

u/squidstario Jun 11 '14

Did somebody say new Squid game?

1

u/K2J Jun 11 '14

Called "Splatoon"

4

u/-Chinchillax- Jun 11 '14

Inkdropping. Wow. I haven't heard of that term since before Brawl came out and everyone said it would be the next wavedashing.

3

u/sirdangolot5 Jun 12 '14

Seems so weird in retrospect, a thread on smashboards full of people getting excited over a clip of Yoshi tripping

3

u/dacalpha Jun 11 '14

Well you've got Splatoon for that.

When I'm playing Brawl with my friends and someone trips, one of us always yells out "sick inkdrop!"

4

u/Jamarac Jun 11 '14

i think we need more essential stuff like barhopping.

28

u/cooldanman22 Jun 11 '14

"Needs more Slippin-Slide"

19

u/Dabestfujiyoshi Jun 11 '14

el cancel needs to be nerfed, gives an unfair advantage

25

u/atwork1 Jun 11 '14

You can't el cancel an unfair. Only bairs can be el canceled

3

u/Dabestfujiyoshi Jun 11 '14

but can a bair be UN canceled into a slip n slide?

3

u/metalmonstar Jun 11 '14

only if you inkdropped the bair

1

u/MuonManLaserJab Lucas Jun 11 '14

What about el cancelling a pak chooie unfair

3

u/zyc7731 Jun 11 '14

Ikr either remove it or make it THE CANCEL! Sometimes I wish samurai wasn't 1/4 Mexican!

u/dacalpha Jun 11 '14

El cancel esta muy infierno.

u/MLGF That Annoying PM Ike shitposter Jun 11 '14

u/calvinwars JonnyGamble Jun 11 '14

Nerf Dash Spinning, Sonic is way too OP.

u/themrben101 Jun 11 '14

I just realized this. Aren't you "the Bork" as well?

8

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '14

Hahah no way! Yeah back when I used to play tag pro.

u/MuonManLaserJab Lucas Jun 11 '14

Taunt-cancelled jump smashes were overnerfed in Smash 4 and Brawl.

u/mendelsin SKREEEE (play Project M) Jun 11 '14

"I would love if you could improve on the wavesliding, but also decrease the lag boxes."

20

u/onassi2 Donkey Kong (Ultimate) Jun 11 '14

"The crouch-jumping was too fast and the rolldashes need to have less lag"

5

u/ParanoidDrone The One-Woman Wombo Combo Jun 11 '14

I'd be worried that if people did this en masse, they'd start to dismiss the legitimate concerns and suggestions as well.

8

u/Fr0ufrou Jun 11 '14

Well, the JCPivot-Resets did seem pretty OP.
