Peach

 

(click to show Brawl trivia)

Peach has one of the most unique playstyles in the game, focusing on pressure. This proved to be tricky: Experience showed that most buffs gave less benefit to Peach than other characters.

Due to this, Peach has been given a very special change: Peach Bomber can be interrupted during the jump! This unique change lets Peach apply her existing pressure game in new ways in previously poor matchups.

Along with a few other small boosts, this results in a character still distinctly Peach but fully competitive with the entire cast.

Balanced Brawl Bonus: Psyche Bomber

  • Peach can now cancel Peach Bomber into any non-special move. This allows her to psyche opponents out while also allowing powerful tricks such as flying forward with moves such as neutral aerial.

Other Major Changes

  • Golf club and frying pan do more knockback.
  • Forward, back, and neutral aerials all hit slightly harder.
  • Forward throw launches better against high damage opponents.
  • Down throw has less chain throw potential.
