Masahiro Sakurai talks all about game balance in the new Smash Bros. games
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U eShop | 45 Comments
Masahiro Sakurai had a whole lot to say about game balance for the new Super Smash Bros. games in his weekly Famitsu column. You can find an overview of what Sakurai said in the magazine below.
“Now that Sunday’s day off is past, I’m currently working on the character adjustment for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. At the moment, Bowser is very strong. He’s really strong. Fans of Smash Bros. probably never saw him as too much of a strong character, but this time, his ability to knock others out is very strong!”
– Bowser’s Smash attacks, special attacks, and aerial attacks now have quite the ability to send opponents flying through the air
– The best part about this is that it feels great
– This great feeling is what Sakurai would like to focus on for the upcoming Smash Bros. games
– He’s putting more care into that part of the game than ever
– Sakurai says having strong attacks are also something that must be carefully balanced
– This is because it may feel unfair to opponents if they’re too overpowered
– In order to meet the right standards, Sakurai and the rest of the development team have been spending a lot of time adjusting stronger attacks to see what works best
