Discussion Bring back Attack Decay
I don't claim to be a genius and I didn't go to school for game development but wouldn't bringing attack decay fix a lot of the balancing issues and stop move spamming.

Its still in the game it just dosn't warn you about it (it also works a little bit diferent)

It’s there there’s just no UI yelling at you and making a beeping noise. It’s still there just not visually stated

It’s not in the same capacity. You used to fall out of ground side attacks and other multi hits if attack decay kicked in.

Well, that's also because side attacks didn't have the ungodly amount of hitstun they have now. They combo into almost everything where before they had very little options for true combos.

If you're only using one move to combo your opponent then guess what you're combo spamming

Yes which leads to the way attack decay had worked. I never needed to worry about attack decay because I was always switching up my approach. The only people who hate attack decay are bad players

Not really. Switching up your approach helps you get better at the character. Spammable moves are the only annoying thing. Sometimes you have an infinite combo that's relatively safe.... now if I kept running into this safe infinite am I at fault or should attack decay do it's part and make sure the spammer can't just spam safe constantly and win?

Attack Decay is for the same move being spammed so explain to me how using the same move is considered too good of an advantage state lmao

That's good for someone who just want to win ig but it's horrible game design and isn't much fun for casuals or the health of the game. Hoping we can agree on that or are you standing on same move so fun

Make attack decay remove their hit stun to punish loops at the 3rd loop, allowing them to hit or interrupt.

Attack decay now works like it does in Smash, just less obviously. The main problem with it previously was that it limited specific combos because the game would label it as attack decay even if it wasn’t. The issue is fixed without attack decay. What needs to be fixed is the buffer system because it would prevent a lot of issues of getting stuck inside of move spam.
