Overview

There were two primary goals here: reduce the number of projectiles and make the projectiles themselves simpler. Spamton was causing pretty bad slowdown issues after an update a while back, often causing the game to crash. He also easily exceeded the projectile limit causing his projectiles to often just disappear. The main culprit was obviously up strong, which used a staggering 32 (mostly aesthetic) projectiles to function. Now it uses 0 and just uses effect layers. Besides that, all of his specials have had their projectile count reduced, while making the remaining projectiles more powerful. Heart on a Chain went from 15 to 5 projectiles, Flying heads went from 4 that spawned another 4 to 1 that spawned 1, and the Pipis creates 1 instead of eight. This has many benefits; most obviously performance, but also making the game more fun for both players. The opponent doesn't have to deal with as many projectiles any more, while the projectiles themselves feel way better to use as the Spamton player. Also of note is his new Up Special, the Comeback Special. His old one was, to put it bluntly, an abysmal move that had little use, felt awful to use, and was just overall terrible. Yeah, it could heal him, and could do a tiny bit of damage, but it was so slow that it could never be used well. The concept of healing through kromer has instead been moved to his down throw. His new up special cements his recovery as excellent rather than just good, as now he has a high-reaching recovery tool in addition to his numerous jumps.
