In all honesty they should definetly do a small mario that turns into a regular mario at a certain percentage or after charging a certain resource. Imagine fighting a pikachu sized mario. The pikachu is a good mechanic too. Getting him to charge or discharge his attacks with thunder is fucking cool.

[@Team-Eclipse6024]

Honestly, I can understand giving Jordan a chance but some of these were too balanced so here are some of my suggestions. Mario: his ladder combos don't kill early enough currently, so we replace his current up-b with shoryuken (except you don't have to do the inputs) DK: taking notes from Krool and Kazuya, his grabs now have super armour. Yoshi: his current play style is way to interesting, so his egg roll is now a carbon copy of spindash (ironic).

If you feel like making a sequel to this, I have an idea for a K.Rool DLC privilege. When K.Rool loses, he pulls a hacker level cheat to get one last chance at a comeback. The hack changes depending on the rule set. Time matches? The clock rewinds by 15 more seconds if K.Rool is not in first. Stock? When K.Rool loses his last life, he spontaneously gets one more. Effectively forcing everyone to fight at a handicap. Stamina? When his stamina hits zero, he recovers 100 HP.
