Nerf

Nerfed is a term to describe the weakening of certain attacks of veteran characters when making a sequel. It is often done as an attempt to balance the roster. However, sometimes it goes beyond that intention. For example, Kirby was considered one of the best characters in the original Super Smash Bros., but after he was nerfed in Melee, he became virtually unplayable in competitive scenes.

For example: From SSBM to SSBB, Peach's forward throw and down smash have been weakened, and she cannot double-jump cancel anymore.
