Clear challenge M7 for another Up-B,A: Ok let's talk onstage first: in the normal game, when you get a hit or a throw, the opponent goes too far for you to follow up. With heavy gravity, they stay in range for you to follow up and you can chain moves and reads to stay on the offensive really well. Everyone gains a ton of combos, and everyone's air-to-ground mixups become harder to predict (because of the faster fall speed). It makes airdodges a lot worse, accentuates the need to tech the stage to avoid combos (which become tech chases) and the need to have good DI.In the offstage game, the recoveries in the game are so good that we rarely see any edgeguarding in base sm4sh. By upping the gravity, everyone gets sent at a much lower angle, and must recover more horizontally so as not to fall too low. This gives more opportunity for the edgeguarder to intercept the recovery and put the opponent in an even worse position, if not outright kill him. It also makes moves that send horizontally more useful now, whereas they were kinda used just for damage before, if at all.A: No, pretty much the only characters that have bad recoveries already had them. The exceptions are sonic and DHD, because their recoveries are affected in an unnatural way. Although even someone like sonic still has a few ways to come back since the ledge mechanics are so lenient. Meanwhile, some characters are still borderline impossible to edgeguard like pikachu, shiek, zelda, G&W, peach etc etc. The recoveries are so good that they really feel natural in heavy gravity instead of broken.A: No, we're trying to customize the game to be the best it can be. It just so happens that melee is a good game and they end up sharing some good qualities (they are games in the same series after all). This is still very much sm4sh though, so don't expect the gameplay to be similar (although nerfed, defensive options are still much better in sm4sh). If anything SLHG mode customizes the game to be between melee and brawl.A: I'm glad you asked! First and foremost, play it. Really just play it and enjoy yourself.
