The most BROKEN Assist Trophy in SSF2 History...

Should be come back?

[Jam-ogkm]

It's a shame cause I think the spirtes for him and Misa look amazing

[Bryan-yfyq]

Light has four seconds (symbolizing death) to write a name. If he’s hit, he’s “caught, ” and he burns the notebook, and disappears. Otherwise, the opponent dies in 40 seconds, like in the anime, . If you really wanna go crazy make it so that it’s a random chance of who he kills, or even that he only goes after which ever player has more stocks, because he’s always about going after powerful people. Or have it that Misa plays a role and has to grab an opponent in a few seconds to get a name

[tomasfarinha]

Just make it so if you hit him he stops writing completely
What is light yagami gonna do against an hedgehog throwing hands?

[gamecube]

"I couldn't imagine a world without Light"

"Yes, that would be dark."

The way to balance light, fix the infinite assist trophy glitch

[OddDeity]

Misa: I can't live in a world without Light.
L: Things most certainly would be dark.

[HaroldX]

Can't even have shit in a fan game

[Pefonmo]

In Jump Ultimate Stars, Light is an assist character with a similar ability. He just drops an apple on your head and if you get hit, you get the insta kill countdown

[shiftyboi]

Fix the inf assist glitch ❌
Remove entirely the assist ✅

[APerson-]

nerf idea: make it so if he gets hit, the opponent doesn't die, so you have to protect Light for a full ten seconds for the effect to work

[robertpaiva]

I actually just thought of a way to balance light.

Light doesn't write the opponent's name in The death Note right after he is summoned. Instead when he is summoned he starts going on one of his incredibly long mental rants, just standing there and making a creepy face for 20-60 seconds. (I'm not sure how long it should be)

After he stops thinking he finally pulls out the death note and writes the opponent's name in it, starting the 10-second timer.

"No fun allowed" ass removal 😭🙏

[BizarreJokestar]

It was later ported over to CMC+, where they opted to just spike the opponent no matter where they are at the end of the ten seconds countdown.

[Mario]

I mean, a better suggestion is this, instead of death from heart attack, make the "death" a cause of death instead, and this can be as random as a truck suddenly appearing and hitting you, but more importantly *it can be evaded or countered*

[LeoTheGamingCat]

Honestly, best way to balance him is two things:

1. Make it so Light will write *any* name at random, including whoever summoned him at equal chance. It now becomes a game to see who dies.

2. Make it so Light can be interrupted.

[redstonewarrior]

Better idea.

Remove the 10 second timer. As soon as Light writes a name, the opponent dies.

Instead, make Light go on a 9 second rant before writing the opponent's name for 1 second. If Light gets hit before he finishes writing a name, he drops the death note and then despawns a short while later.

[tristancampbell]

I'm surprised to see so many references to the SSF2 community hating something just because it's OP (Which is why it was rare). If you hate the trophy so much, tell them to add the option to disable certain assists, not remove it entirely.

[notspoileratall]

Best way to balance this?
1. Make it a 40 sec timer, the actual time in anime, and make the timer disappear if the victim lose stock during that time

2. Let the rival hit and disturb Kira so he cannot write in the deathnote, and make him write slow.

3. That infinite trophy glitch? Yeah no, big nope, that has to go 😂

[Shranu]

How have people not said the obvious solution. We’ve seen instant kills in smash bros, give him a countdown of however long, and if they are 100% or above they die

[hwate]

All you had to do was make his timer 40 seconds and make him _slightly_ less rare to compensate. Forty seconds is lore-accurate, and *multiple* stocks can be taken in 40 seconds.
