I love this version of Bat Bat a lot, but she feels a little too strong right now. I just want to purpose a few balance changes to make fighting against her a bit more fair. I've been play testing her out a lot (About 6 hours at the time of writing this). A lot of these aren't insane nerfs/changes that won't render her unusable, but makes her a lot more reasonable and skillful to use.

Keep up the good work!

- Make her max number of runs 10
(55 is really crazy)

- Make it to where she loses 1 run every time she takes damage while at 0 bases
(Only losing bases when damaged feels like a slap on the wrist, this way bases act as a safety net for your runs before you start losing them. This way, it's not too harsh, but still punishing for careless play, further adding to the risk vs reward)

- Make her lose all bases after a short while of not dealing damage, when at 0 bases, have her runs decay 1 at a time
(3 seconds of not dealing damage sounds like the sweet spot, and a run decay of 1 run every 0.5 seconds feels fair. This encourages more aggressive play, and smarter combo strings. This adds the element of "Use it, or lose it" to her runs to further encourage using Dspecial)

- Make her lose all runs on death
(This removes her absurd snowballing over the course of the match and demands a bit more caution)

- Change hitting your baseballs from 1 run, to consuming all bases for an equal number of runs per bases when you damage an enemy with a baseball. Example being 1 run for 1 base on hit, or 3 runs for 3 bases on hit.
(This effectively nerfs her ball spam/camping/farming, and further gives incentive toward using baseballs as a damage source)

- Make her get 1 run when she reaches 4 balls at 3 bases. Right now, if you get 4 balls while at 3 bases, it resets your bases
(Intentional or not, getting all bases reset after getting 4 balls feels weird)

- Add some cool shocky/time stoppy looking effects to her DSpecial?
(Not really a balance change, but I just thought it was a cool addition)


What does everyone else think? I know this is probably meant to be more of a fun mod to play around with, but I feel like it is worth discussing. Please keep it civil, folks.

P.S. This took me way longer to write and consider than it should've.
