Mii Gunner Balance Changes

Several of Mii Gunner's moves are either too risky to throw out or serve no purpose, while neutral air covers so much space that it needs more risk attached.

Balance Philosophy

Each mid-tier character receives a buff and a nerf: shave off the most unfair part of the kit while lessening the character's biggest weakness.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    Damage increased from 5% to 7%.

  2. Side special (Stealth Burst)

    Start up reduced to frame 32.

  3. Side special (Gunner Missile)
