1 BUFF I Would Give to EVERY Character In Smash Ultimate 

Hero's buff would be the mana cost for every spell except magic burst is 75% of the original cost. My bad, skipped over it in recording

Yoshi buff should be the return of the black Yoshi skin

I think a better buff for Robin would be that the Levin Sword only loses its durability when you actually hit the opponent with it. Not only would the player would not be punished for missing an attack with the Levin Sword, but it also mimics Fire Emblem's weapon durability mechanic more accurately.

Bro just forgot Hero…

Chrom with Marth recovery would be wild

Not reworking ivysaur bullet seed is wicked

I would also make Isabelles side B a command grab but not make it a kill move anymore, only a combo starter, otherwise it would be too OP. Another thing she also desperately needs is a bigger Up-Tilt and Up-Smash so that when an opponent is on a plantform and you are below of them it actually hits them. Yea, current Isabelle doesnt hit people on the platform with these moves, you can only hit them if you jump + aerial. And another thing that could be neat would be cancelling Up-B into any aerial.

Wolf flash not putting him into free fall would be so sweet

The buff I would give to Ganon is easily having side b not make him go into free fall. 4 games later and it still sends him into free fall while fox, falco, little mac, Ridley and incineroar gets to use Both side B and Up B for their recovery

I see the improvement in editing :) Also: NANA GRAB!? SHEIK 50/50?! HELL NO 🤢

It is absolutely wild how good most of kirby moves are. Almost every kirby move has a use and they all pair well together but kirby is limited by his horrid movement speed on air

For **insert character** I would give him back his **insert move** from **previous smash games/patch** 🗿

Dude, Dedede doesn't need anything done to his back air; that's one of his best moves, lol. What he DOES need is more air speed, as well as a faster inhale with faster/better reflect. Obviously there's some other things he could use but those are the biggest IMO.

Some of these buffs not created equal. Rob hurtbox decrease?? Into Toon Link zair endlag buff…. Into an enormous Wolf Flash buff?? I got some serious whiplash from that section🤣

Someone make a mod off this vid, "Larry Edition"

Ike having a wall jump like in PM would be an insane buff that I'd love

the crazy thing about Banjo with unlimited wonderwing is that it still wouldnt be nearly as toxic as minecart

Dr. Mario with Mario recovery would be life changing. We all know this.

As a Shulk main I have to mention this. Make it so that you can switch Monado arts while in grab or buried. Or perhaps make it so that Back Slash always snatches ledge. Or at least give it invincibility when it can grab ledge.

So basically just revert every major nerf a character has had lol

And so the trend continues of "I'm gonna buff every character!" *accidentally nerfs Pits* An across the board KB increase for Pit dairspike would make SH Dair OoS kill confirms a little bit worse, since they already start working at basically the perfect percent window for USmash to kill, so the current KB allows for the largest SH Dair FF USmash window. SH Dair OoS is useful because of how low it hits, being able to even hit Kirby's crouch animation, which I believe is the lowest crouch in the game? The bigger issue would be FS Dair (and other times you happen to hit FH Dair against standing opponents) kill confirms, as they already need to be nearish ledge to kill regardless of DI against most characters, so increasing the KB of Dair would make Dair single hit Nair FSmash/DThrow Bair not work at kill percents, leaving FS Dair combos to only kill once Bair both connects and kills on its own, which is much later. Both of the above are good options which not enough Pits use, at least that I've seen, so I don't fault someone for not knowing that this would actually be bad for Pits. A KB increase to only aerial opponents would be much better, and is actually something Nintendo already did once for Pits, so it's not even a weird buff. I'd still be a bit sad because some silly, niche combos that are bad but cool would stop existing, but ultimately more KB against aerial opponents with dairspike would be a buff. The way I'd buff them, though, is to make the hitbox of UTilt2 bigger, so that it hits more opponents standing on the ground in front of Pit. This would make Nairdodging through UTilt Nair DD Loops no longer the correct option for everyone not named Sephiroth (And Fox, Gren, and Pichu, who are just incapable of doing so), and heavily punish those who tried, as UTilt2 against standing opponents can combo into almost every button in Pits' kit, letting Pits do whatever they wanted to someone who Nairdodges UTilt1

Marth really needs his up-air to be fixed to be active for longer. The move ends way before the trail effects suggest resulting in the move just phasing through opponents and makes landing with it way harder than it should be

The buff I would give pit it’s his brawl arrows back , that would help a lot in a lot of areas , I don’t mind the weak spike when I can hit almost anywhere in a game with just one airdodge and for dark pit i would keep the same opinion as you with the spike or a stronger uppair since I think dair it’s more a combo tool than a spike anyways

Alright, some of these are reasonable or nice, but lots of these would be so toxic!!!

1:05 Bros turning dk into another rob

DK Jab buff is a perfect example of cooler buffs often being better than stronger ones, but a lot of these are toxic (complimentary)

Changing Chrom's up+b entirely ? Maybe it'd be cool if he can cancel it like Cloud's or more horizontal movement, like a tiger blade (tales series). His move is actually like that in the series.

Honestly for Corrin, the buff I would give her would be the ability to act out of Side B kick earlier, completely negating her movement woes. She's sluggish, but that's part of why she has pin, and that buff would be HUGE.

Its funny how a lot of characters get minor buffs like a slight endlag reduction or a better grab which is relatively minor and won't change too much and then theres just "Give Cloud, Aegis, Palu, Joker, etc, something from their prepatch versions or previous game where they are all top 1-2 contenders and were far and away the some of the best characters in the franchises history" Ah yes lets allow Sephiroth to get wing at 40% because he was a stock down and now he wont lose it until he dies. Not much of an issue when you have a good MU into him but now every character that struggles vs him is pretty much guaranteed to lose because Wing is just that brokenly powerful

Cloud's sm4sh nair size is a crime. BRING BACK THE FALLING UP AIR

think it would be a good idea to do this same video where smash pros chime in and give their own ideas. it'd be cool to see what the character specialists would change for their character

For Lucario I would give him a lower shorthop. This would let him SH rising nair people and use the move significantly better.

Chrom and Ike's buffs would be so good, another one for Ike that would be amazing is to make it so side b doesn't put you in free fall

Yeah we killing the game with this one 💀

My buff for Byleth would definitely be: decrease the chamber time to arrow so that using the uncharged variant comes out quicker and can be used in neutral Keep the same strength tho

The biggest buff is either for Chrom or ICs. My pick is Chrom, though. Takes his position as a worse Roy and puts him as the best sword fighter in the game. Makes him a top 5 character

For Kirby I think there's a few worth contenders. The buffs I want either make advantage state far more consistent or help him in neutral greatly: 1. *Reduce D-Air landing by 3-4 frames* : Kirby can always do turnaround Up-Tilt out of D-Air but it requires a turnaround and he no longer has the advantage on hit to get the forward version. Reducing its landing lag would make D-Air followups more consistent and greatly improve Throw combos but it would be important not to buff it so much that he can get D-Air D-Smash easily with no need to auto cancel it. 2. *Reduce D-Air startup by 2-3 frames* : With D-Air Ride already being a thing you have to be careful with the start as too low and his loops become too easy and degenerate. Still 18 startup is rough so taking another 2-3 off should open more combo options while still not making it overly easy to set up into. 3. *Reduce Projectile Swallow Lag Immensely* : This was a neat change they added but the high lag makes it too impractical. Cutting the animation down makes it a better anti-zoning measure and helps a lot against projectiles overall. 4. Run Speed Buff: I am actually in a camp of letting Kirby really min max his ground game. Making him about as fast as Bowser (or at the very least have his full dash match his initial dash) would help with ground pressure and approaching. I actually agree that the buffs Kirby did get have made his moveset a lot more effective now than a lot of us, even us Kirby mains, initially gave credit for. Just a few more changes could actually make him a seroius meta threat but just one of those imo would already be gamechanging. That more air speed isn't bad. It definitely would help on recovery.

As a Zelda main, the down tilt buff would be absolutely evil. Sure there are other buffs she would maybe *need*, for example the grab as you said, make the nair consistent or make her f tilt faster. But making down tilt into fair or dash attack true at any percent? I'm rooting for it ALL DAY.

I wish Marth's Up-Air would be either active for 2 more frames, or it had it's hitbox expanded downwards a little bit; So it could consistantly hit with the last part of the animation while fast falling with it.

4:29 We have two games full of proof of why that's a bad idea.

I think a better buff for Meta Knight would be to allow him to use special moves again roughly 12 frames after the end lag of his side-b ends so newer players will Self Destruct less often.

That is a very nice Zelda buff. The one I always wanted in this game was to let her nair actually work better as a drag dowm tool.

My one buff would be to allow ZSS to true combo out of grab. That's all

17:53 relatively recently, Terry mains have started jumping down and using crack shoot to spike him

The buff i would give bowser would be to make his n-air a multihit similar to palutena's nair, with many hits before the lounching one instead of the wierd hitboxes only on his limbs that make it's role as a combo starter and extender really inconsistent, i would also make it -8 on shield instead of-12, making it a tad bit safer.

Honestly I’ve had this idea for a while that dr Mario pill should work like snake grenade, being an item and movement option. I think giving doc that would not only buff his combo game but also his air mobility and landing options. The idea of an “item Mario” has always been cool to me.

Buff me Larry

I like the idea for Wii Fit, but I think a better buff would be to have big hit box on Fair, Nair and tilt attack as they both do reach the shorter characters like yoshi, pika and so on. Nair especially is very difficult to hit and not consistent, you have to jump and fall into the nair to hit the opponent making it a lot more difficult to use.

Hero has a lot that could be changed: Reduce the forward special cost, reduce his end lag 1 to 2 frames of his smash attacks, reduce dash attack end lag by one frame, improve forward and backwards throw launch distance, increase text size in menu for easier read

I love Maining K Rool, And Inkling the Buff i would give k rool is his crown because his crown is a projetile because people use crown against him so i would buff his crown so that way he can keep his crown during combos with it instead of crown as a projectile. For inkling i would buff her/his Blaster its a good up smash but if you think about it the scoop of it will let characters DI Away so thats the buff i would give inkling is so that way they wont DI Away from it anymore when they get buried by roller or on ledge

i think a good buff for jigglypuff would be to make it so rest will always cause a star KO from the top, makes going for it much less of a gamble

Give DK a projectile. Coconut gun or barrel throw I don't care which. It'll never happen but it should. It's such a huge part of the character. It's absurd that he's the only heavy with no sort of ranged move. They added the roll but for games now DK has struggled at a distance. Even a basic projectile would help. Bowser breathes fire. Dee Dee has the side B. Ridley is insanely cracked. Even Ganons side and down special has some quick distance closing that isn't utterly predictable in most encounters. DK needs some reworking at least a bit. I personally would do side b barrel throw and remove the other pitfall can easily be a down throw instead.

That Mii Swordfighter buff to up tilt is really good. I would have gone with that or a hitbox improvement to up-air that allows it to hit grounded opponents more easily (not necessarily ones that are low profiling, but most standing characters)

As a Byelth main I’d say that all we really need is an increase to our movement speed and then we become a solid high tier. Or if that’s too much, give landing side be the same end lag as ground side b.

My inkling buff (yes I know this is insane) is that ink scales knockback in addition to the damage

5:18 Yeah I really do think you're right about that. Dr Mario does deserve a better recovery. 5:41 Yeah that buff makes sense. I mean if he's going to have a throw that involves him shooting the opponent he doesn't make any sense to have it sometimes miss. It should always hit or else it's inconsistent. 5:57 That makes perfect sense. Honestly I've always felt like Marth was just kind of left behind since Lucina came into the game and Smash 4. Making Marth more easily able to land his tippers would be such a great improvement

For Cloud I would definitely make his Up-B more consistent. It’s outrageous how often it connects but the opponent falls out of it and can break your momentum or punish you. Being randomly punished while you just successfully landed an attack is dumb as hell.

17:07 So I guess this wouldn't technically be considered a buff but more like just a complete change. Piranha plants are extremely well known for spitting fireballs. Why is it the piranha plant doesn't even have a single move that involves that? I believe one of its air attacks spits a short-range flamethrower very briefly but that's it. It doesn't make any sense that piranha plant doesn't actually have more fire moves and doesn't spit fireballs

Bro needs to do a series called "Lurrning with Larry" with vids like this!

3:26 I like that buff. I'm not even a Ness player but I like that buff. An opponent jumping in the way of his PK thunder should not prevent him from being able to use it to recover.

16:11 Here's some for my guy (warning lengthy): Crown item: Granted this is on you to lose/exchange but even then, I hate how overly one-sided this projectile is (outside doubles and playing other characters too), it's pretty ridiculous it has infinite throws, can hit multiple times in the air (only happens when you get out of hitstun, ie after performing a wall tech or get footstooled) and has opponents able to reset the despawn timer on top of infinite throws, the only to get it back is to pick it up as KKR which can be a nightmare considering all that. Adding a two throw cap before despawn (akin to Banana) back to KKR (or seven seconds of no one having crown beforehand) and allow the in progress animation (I'm aware of quick/long inputs to skip it but I'm talking about outside that as it can get in the way of neutral and disadvantage) to be cancellable with the momentum, imo will be the perfect way to balance it with the least amount of changes, despawn timer resetting is also unaffected by this change as the throw cap makes resetting it ok. I'd rather not remove the animation as a whole as it's funny out of context and I'd rather not remove tech or playmaking capability. I'd also say for KKR to be able to use it in item form if you press B during Side Special before the crown is thrown (uses part of the crown pickup animation in reverse) but that might not lead into the best playstyles. Down Special: More consistency, it can fail when it feels like it shouldn't due to moves being able to extend past or outright ignore the detection hitbox, it should be more consistent like a swordie counter but keep the back vulnerability and allow the counter to be reversed while facing the opposite direction before startup. Air Speed: Slightly increase it, nothing more to say on that. Neutral Special: Be able to use the command grab version at any time and have minor armor on a successful suckup of a foe or cannonball (this is so it won't always be a death sentence for sucking up the cannonball instead of a foe, granted they can also grab), no longer completely lose to large enough shield (gradually move shielding foes closer to it), I'd also say the blank shot to provide a moderate windbox but that can be kinda cheese and Ultimate removed most of those from fighter moves so I'm not sure if I'll agree with that one, more horizontal control when using the inhale in the air (not as much as air speed of Up Special). Side Special: Crown rehit always being consistent would be a little ridiculous but make it a little more consistent and make the armor on throwing it more consistent. Up Special: We need more than Up Air stalling or "mixups" and either to save jump then use it or use jump then use it as a last resort. Give it more horizontal distance (will sacrifice a slight bit of vertical height), the propellors the ability to beat out weak projectiles and maybe being able to cancel into an airdodge (not an aerial) would help reduce the chances of being stuck getting back to stage. Belly Super Armor: Make it usage based rather than damage based, this will make it worse against multihits but better on strong single hits. It shouldn't be possible to one shot it because of high damage design, maybe no longer trigger a shield break, deal moderate knockback instead and remove KKR's ability to use belly armor (moves will still work but with 4% less damage and less knockback) until at least 3 (?) minutes pass, kind of a full rework so I'm not sure if it will happen. Dash: Slightly reduce the hurtbox of KKR. Standstill/Walk: Slightly reduce the hurtbox of KKR. Dash Attack: Covers the entirety of KKR rather than just the belly, remove the unsafe extra belly armor frames, slightly more shield damage. Up Smash: Falldown hitbox does more shield damage. Up Air: Exposed belly armor frame removed, I'd also say to never get the heightless version as soon as you use it out of hitstun (but slightly delay the height increase) to prevent SDs from buffering it after a light attack at ledge hits you but you'd technically be able to get infinite height in doubles, the falling version might be useful onstage but it's already situational as is. Down Air: Exposed belly armor frames removed. Neutral Aerial: Probably either his best or second best move, often contested by Forward Aerial. It should cover the entirety of KKR to make it better as an OOS option which we lack, it probably would make it an even better edgeguarding tool but we need OOS options more and make it frame 6. That's all I got, most of his other moves are fine aside from blindspots, namely Forward Smash and Up Tilt. I don't think the changes will make him a completely good character but it should make both disadvantage and a bit of advantage easier to manage. Also here's a tip, you can airdodge up after throwing crown to make it go slightly higher (combine on stage with a double jump for max height). Also offtopic to KKR but give Little Mac his Side Special back at least once after getting hit (not infinite) or something better (maybe it with some armor), while accurate to boxers in the air, it's very tragic how much of a brick he is to being gimped in the air. The Smash 4 guidebook also said his "recovery is lacking and to "avoid ledges whenever possible"

Bro just made wobbling possible again

Think a better buff for ice climbers would be that if popo dies first, instead of nana disappearing she would become the controllable character. This would be a huge buff but also a bit of a nerf as nana is actually launched further by attacks. It would make for incredible comeback plays as nana has the meteor on her fair that could absolutely destroy people

As a buff to Lucario (for a future game bc it's moveset changing) I would change one of his moves into a recoil move from Pokemon like double-edge, and give him a way to self-damage like Pichu. I think it would make him a much more interesting threat, while also doing better justice to the root game, where a big part of the gameplay is synergizing around your Pokemon's ability.

I think my buff for incineroar is instead of super armor on his UP-B i would make it a two parts UP-B just like shulk or cloud's one without the downside that put's you in free fall

Great video! I like the changes that would give character more combos or reliable kill options.

As a Fox main I think down throw should be buffed because it has 0 usage except throwing at a specific angle which isn’t the optional throw. Down throw should be allowed to true combo into aerials at low percent only

some of these are really clever. I'd like to see someone make a mod with all these changes

I was hoping K Rool’s buff would be that he does two front flips for his dair

Prediction: The biggest buff will be Ganondorf, and the smallest one will be Game and Watch.

Is funny they buffed the Pits Down Air Spike Knockback on aerial opponents(0 to 10) but that wasn't near enough. If the base knockback was closer to Samus's Down Air, it would be so much better

THANK YOU!! I've been telling people that Mac recovering Side B after hit would benefit Mac in a massive way

Mac should've never been able to lose his side b when hit off stage.

10:12 Well as a Sonic main I am definitely in favor of that. Especially with the footage you just showed that showed Sonic actually killing himself because his homing attack missed when trying to hit an opponent who was off stage. Yes it's better hit more consistently.

An ACTUAL Pythra buff would be having my guy Rex sticking around to cheer for the rest of the match after up taunt. But for real I’d add a weak flame pillar hitbox behind Pyra during her landing up B. More accurate to XC2 and makes it so you don’t get punished for not reacting to DI perfectly without just mirroring the move

King ddd has the worst turnaround dash… not falcon?

imo Wii Fit wants the same buff you'd give Captain Falcon more than an up throw kill confirm. WFT has the same dash frame data as the Captain but also has a completely upright dash animation so you get clipped by a ton of aerials other characters would not. This dash is the biggest reason that Villager can be a tough matchup for Wii Fit for example; you're eating slingshots for days and have a lot of trouble closing distance. Having an 11 frame dash like the majority of the cast would give Wii Fit both a better dash up shield or ftilt and a better dash away turn around Sun charge which is what the character's neutral game is built around. Wii Fit gets all the kills you'd ever want so the most relevant buffs would be things that get you that first neutral win easier so you can get deep breathing up as quickly as possible.

That plant segment had me dying bruh the way he went, "what"

Perfect young link buff. A dair that spikes would finally reward me for reading my opponent 5 times in a row. His mix potential would shoot through the roof.

As a bowser player decreasing fair’s endlag wouldn’t change his game plan at all. It’s already relatively safe to use on shield when spaced and already is his second best combo starter after nair. The buff I would give would be making his rise and fall with side b be invincible.

As a PT main, my bias will show here... Squirtle I say needs more air speed, Ivysaur needs bullet seed replaced, and Charizard needs better out of shield options so more reach behind him on up smash cause my god he's such a sitting duck.

For Steve, his Down-throw has more knockback and has slightly more kill power Yes, I know Steve's down-throw is a combo opener, yes I know it is a nerf in disguise, but it still is a buff since it technically powers up a move

I just want the Blue Wizard Kick from Smash 4 customs for Ganon, that shit was FIRE. There's some neat custom moves I wouldn't mind becoming their new specials in the next game. I have always been a fan of Celestial Firework instead of Counter/Reflect for Palu simply because it's cool.

I think biggest buff will be a low tier so King K Rool and the smallest buff is probably Sonic realistically

I’m no game dev, so this could be absolutely broken, but I think giving ganondorf some armor on his down b would go a long way towards making him a better character (anti projectile/camping application)

Why give Ganon a kill confirm? He doesn't struggle to kill. His issue is exactly the same as Dr Mario. Bad recovery in combination with bad air drift speed. Thats what hurts Ganon the most by far.

i feel like mewtwo tail hurtbox is not as much of a problem as him being the same size as Rob but as light as Olimar. Currently loosing neutral once very often leads to either death or reaching kill percents. A bit more weight would mean you can afford to lose neutral more, and would make mewtwo less vulnerable to stray hits and trades that can cost him very early stocks.

I would buff lucas mobility as a lucas player. His combos and killing are perfectly fine, but having more ground speed would be pretty game changing.

Its very clear the characters you don’t think much about are Larry. As much as I would love pre-patch nair on Ike, he doesn’t struggle with kill confirms. If we could only give him one buff, it should be to something he struggles with the most, which is his recovery and neutral game. Now I can’t really think of a way to buff his neutral without a slight rework so I will talk first about his recovery. The solution is very simple, give him super armor at the apex of his up-b. His biggest problem is recovering against anyone who has a counter or can spike him on ledge. This buff only helps him if he perfectly spaces his up-b so it won’t feel like you can’t edge guard him at all. Now for the slight rework I was talking about. In Ikes games, (I’m assuming most of you have never played) Ike can canonically fire beams out of the Ragnell similar in appearance to Clouds netural-b. I’m baffled that they never incorporated this into his move-set as even a fairly mediocre projectile would dramatically help Ike out in neutral since he wouldn’t always need to approach. Now the rework comes to which special do we change. My vote is to make the new attack his neutral-b and remap his current neutral to down-b, thus getting rid of his counter. Lets be honest, his counter is whatever. Its not a critical part of his kit in anyway. In conclusion either of these changes would be far more impactful than reverting his pre-patch nair.

4:07 : Okay, The only buff I'll give Bowser is to restore and improve his Melee Command Grab. I love his Command Grab it can Combo and great kill throw

8:57 That's an interesting idea, but you don't want to make it too easy for him to confirm kill with the waft.

Luigi cyclone does still go higher depending on your mashing. That being said, it's like a third of Dr. Mario's and a shell of its former self. Smash 4 Luigi was such an interesting competitive character and they absolutely massacred him.

Some other buffs i'd have perosnally would like for certain characters would be: Lucario: Give him back his Brawl weight. Alltho having ihm start with aura is prob overall better? Robin: Make his movement speed faster. Mewtwo: Tail hurbox gone would be great but honestly I think making him a heavier character would help a lot too. Byleth: Make down B a bit faster and/or let him have armor when using it mid-air. Pits: Make Dair spike more consistent. I feel like it's one of the harder moves to actually spike with and if you don't spike you're putting yourself in a worse position.

For Yoshi I would do one of 2 things. Either: Cut the startup for Eggroll in half or more (14-16 frames of startup instead of 32) and have it accelerate faster. To compensate for the faster startup I'd probably remove the intangibility it gets during parts of its startup animation. This would allow it to be an okay grounded burst option/escape option. It'd be like Minecart, but only work on the ground and have its same crappy hitbox, no kill power or armor meaning you can easily punish it if you anticipate it. But could allow it be a potential escape option near the ledge or just an option to create space. Or Significantly cut the time to cancel it and allow him to act much faster out of it. This would allow it to be a decent approach option if he has the space to start it up, but could get predictable if used too often, it'd also potentially open up more edge guarding opertunities by letting him chase off stage opponents faster. I see this being decent but not too degenerate since if you wanted to do fast approaching aerials on stage, he wouldn't have access to back-air, his only real disjointed aerial. meaning it'd still be possible to swat him if he gets too predictable with it on stage. (It'd also be kind of cool if he could slide and do a grounded move if he canceled it on the ground, but that might be too over powered being able to do like a sliding F-smash or Up-smash.) For either of these buffs I would not touch the shitty hitbox, or kill power. And it'd still basically have no velocity in the air. It'd still be a way shittier version of minecart/clown car and probably still be one of the worst moves in yoshi's kit but it'd at least have some use cases and maybe have some possitve aspects that set it apart from the other mobility side specials (instead of it being set apart by just how much worse it is than all of the other versions).

14:09 Oh wow! Up for some reason I wasn't aware of that or maybe I just never really bothered to notice. I think because I'm dodging the attack or blocking the attack so I'm not like trying to hit the duck. Maybe that's why I never noticed I'm not sure

I have a idea for a buff of the Mii Fighters; Give them more *original* outfits (like some that were in SSB4 like the Neon Suit, etc.) and let's have them have an actual render in the VS splash screen, not this beta placeholder with the blacked out face

Chrom with a Lucina recovery would be game changing

As a Zelda main, I would have taken the faster grab. Zelda already conditions most of the cast to shield, it would make her pressure and zoning a lot stronger if she had the grab to back it up. Like, I get it, she still has a good grab and throws, but think about how Pac-Man's grab is such a good and fast tool for him to break up the opponent's defense. Zelda could do that but way better because her throws are really good.

If Isabelle's Fishing Rod were a command grab it would be in the running for one of the best special moves in the game. Absolutely oppressive.

For the characters I use when I try to play more or less seriously, I would make Lucina's dash attack quick and powerful, I would give Pyra the ability to jab 1, grab, pummel, forward throw, back throw and up throw before catching her sword after using her side B, I would remove Mythra's helplessness after using her side B, I would enlarge Corrin' side B tipper hitbox, and finally, I would add a weaker, but faster variant of Byleth's neutral B. Stuffs like these. I have other ideas, but this is just me daydreaming
