Ok, whilst I can see where you are coming from, I'd like to issue an argument out: Not every character has to be balanced in vanilla.
A slight nerf is fine for WIllo for sure with some of the absurd stuff that is being done, but Willo should not be nerfed to the point of being unfun.
Because there's the main thing: Most of the vanilla cast is just unfun for Starlight.
Hence why Willo is designed to have the opportunity to be faster if you are skilled.
So, like, for example, should I nerf MCSonic because he can break vanilla stages, or is there some sort of disconnect here? Because nothing says OCs have to have a similar balance to vanilla.
(Sorry if I'm just causing an argument here, but I felt like I had to say something. I've already agreed with a slight nerf, but not one nerfing into the ground to the point of being balanced with vanilla.)
