Biggest reason is debug process. it is a really big game. They need several hundred testers and splitting the release gives them more time to space it out

Sakurai says it is hard to balance the game. Discussing the process of balancing. he basically did it all by himself in Melee

Brawl had a 4 person team give grades to the power of characters. New one has 12 person team.
- 63,609

Q: Concern over balance after brawl's problems. A: it gets very technical. Sakurai was responsible for the changes from N64 to Melee. He had to use a broader grading system with help from staff when working on Brawl. The process became tricky due to biases in the graders' playing style. For the new games they have 12 graders, but there could still be balance anomolies.

- 95
- 18
