Tagging!

A lot of people are saying Electric is OP and needs nerfing, and I can see where they're coming from as it leads into an easy grab or super, but it does have some downsides. Unlike every other element, Electric doesn't increase damage. That wouldn't matter much since when combo'd with a grab it'll deal 230 damage minimum, more than any other single attack combo could deal (except maybe Stun).

However, if the opponent is airborne when hit by Electric, it doesn't disable their arms, only knocks them down (except Mechanica strangely). And of course if you're too far away the opponent will recover before your grab reaches them. In these instances, the former of which being pretty common, Electric is actually the worst element, as all the others atleast deal extra damage.

Again though this isn't to say Electric isn't powerful. Once people get a wider selection of arms I fully expect to see atleast one Electric arm in everyone's loadout.
