Certain Comeback Mechanics

Super Smash Bros Ultimate - Terry Bogard

Seeing a fighter defying the odds and making a comeback can be truly inspiring. It’s slightly less inspiring, however, when they gain insane boosts to damage on hitting low life. The X-Factor in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is a good use of a comeback mechanic, wherein the player gains increased damage and speed depending on the number of teammates alive, making it a good way to even the odds when down. It’s also good mechanic because it runs out. Now let’s look at Terry Bogard in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate who takes damage and past a certain threshold, is permanently buffed in terms of his strength and move set. So make sure you do just enough to ensure he doesn’t get time to use it. Or else.
