'''Balanced Brawl''', or '''BBrawl''', is a hack of ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]]'' designed by Thinkaman and Amazing Ampharos with the goal of balancing [[character]]s in competitive Brawl with as few changes to core physics as possible. It is normally loaded using Smash Stack by comex so it is playable on any [[Wii]], hacked or not. More information, videos, downloads, setup instructions, and chat can be found on the [http://www.balancedbrawl.net Balanced Brawl website].
==Differences from Brawl+==
Unlike [[Brawl+]], none of the core physics have been changed:
*Character movement is the same.
*[[Hitbox]] sizes are the same for all characters.
*No [[stage]]s are frozen.

===Features===
*Infinites like jab lock, slipping, footstool, and grab release are removed.
*Increased character balance.
*Increased stage viability.
*Planking is removed.
*No random [[tripping]]. Moves that trip the opponent such as bananas will still trip.
*Very few changes to timing.
*Certain glitches were removed.

===Stage Changes===
*[[Luigi's Mansion]] takes twice as long to respawn after being broken.
*[[Mushroomy Kingdom]] 1-1 scrolls at half speed. Additionally, both Mushroomy Kingdom stages have higher ceilings.
*[[Pirate Ship]] bombs do less damage.
*[[Norfair]] lava pillars inflict less knockback.
*[[Port Town Aero Dive]] cars inflict less knockback.
*[[Castle Siege]] has significantly improved loading time.
*[[Flat Zone 2]] lion tamers inflict fixed knockback.
*[[PictoChat]] has a few weakened hazards.
*[[Corneria]] has larger blast zones.
*[[Green Greens]] blocks spawn less frequently. Bomb blocks also do less damage.

==Character changes==
When Balanced Brawl was started, the creators decided to balance all the characters towards a power level about equal to that of Diddy Kong in standard ''Brawl''. This meant some characters received several changes, while others did not need more than minor tweaks. Most characters were generally [[buff]]ed, and only a few were [[nerf]]ed.
