Hmm, doing a bit of research on "The Numbers™", it seems like most character who are considered "fast" have higher falling speeds.
Is this for balance reasons, or is it just a weird quirk of the design?
It's no quirk, C.F. and Shiek, are just heavy characters. It makes sense.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.The Smash Wiki's articles for Falling speed
, and weight
.
It's why I was curious about it; a lot of "fast"-type character have higher falling speeds, and I'm wondering if it's not to make them overpowered.
I understand that jump height, weight and fall speed have nothing to do with each other.
But I never think about it either.
When in a match, I just focus on my opponent. No need to memorize all that weight, jump and fall shit as long as you just observe the enemy you are fighting.
Fox being lighter than Falco is a surprise though.
And wasn't Dr Mario supposed to be heavier than The Mario? What is going on I don't even.
Physics are a joke and even the weakest characters stomp all over anything less than a Reality Warper.
Pretty much all you need to know.

I don't think Pit has that many combos actually.
