Balanced Brawl

Balanced Brawl (or BBrawl) is currently a hack of Brawl to make the characters themselves more balanced. More information can be found at the Balanced Brawl Public Review Page at the Smashboards: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=239604

How is this different from Brawl+?

The creators of BBrawl accept Brawl for what it is, and enjoy playing it. So unlike Brawl+, none of the core physics have been changed:

-In game physics are the same.

-Character movement is the same.

-Hitbox sizes are the same for all characters.

-No stages are frozen.

However, timing of a few attacks have been changed, and tripping is removed

The goals of BBrawl are:

-Remove Infinites and Inescapable Lockdowns

-Character Balance

-Increase Stage Viability

Character Changes

When BBrawl was started, the creators decided to balance all the characters based around Diddy Kong, so all characters will fight as well as Diddy Kong. Not many of the characters will have huge changes, but the ones who do are still balanced to everyone else.
