Pretty interesting read.
"Director Masahiro Sakurai has always placed a great deal of importance on balancing games in the Super Smash Bros. series"
LOL well that's not a very promising first sentence given brawl. I shall keep reading regardless.
Edit: Well yeah, none of that was very enlightening. I know that the competitive scene doesn't exactly care about a character's performance in teams or free for alls, but it's nice that he points out that this is an aspect of balance because people still tend to ignore it. There hasn't been a single case where a character sees a higher placing in tier lists because of their stellar performance in teams tournaments vs their poor performance in singles. Seems like he focuses on bowser a lot in this game. Also the comment on falcon punch was pretty funny. I never really considered it to be very good in any situation, free for all nor teams. It has seen some very sparce use in tourny though so his comments are accurate.
