She really needs to change.

No she doesn't...you can't compare her to another character. Every character is different for a reason. Her bullet speed is just right to fit her role as a closer range variant. She is a mid range tankier character so she has more health and slower bullet speed to help her take out characters that get to close with her detenation. If you make her bullet speed faster she loses that ability her bullets would fly out of range of anyone close to her and the detenation would be useless. Captain cannon has high bullet speed because He has a scattershot to deal with close enemies.
Captain Cannon hits like a truck when accurately played!!! Petrified Cactus hits like a Tank when you play with good timing! But the thing is, Cannon is shooting a Cannonball projectile which can fly pretty quick. Cactus is shooting eggs! Eggs can't withstand much force without being crushed can they? Plus, she's shooting them from their mouth. If you've played Mario Bros 2 and fought Birdo you'll see, you can't really spit eggs with that much velocity! hur hur hur
Captain Cannon also is the worst pick for long range fights. A normal Cactus will take him out long before he can even dream about going to win that fight.
And if you compare 2 characters you actually have to compare the whole characters, not just cherrypicking things.
P. Cactus got 150 HP, while Captain Cannon only got 125. That alone should tell you that P. Cactus is made to go closer.
And 150 HP is a lot. With the health upgrade (160 HP), P. Cactus can even survive an Imp Punt.
If you've got an Imp problem in your garden, you call Petrified Cactus. After that they will only dare to approach in their mechs.
Basically to say is each character build for a certain purpose, role, strength and weakness.
You need to learn those traits and adjust your playing style accordingly (instead of asking the character adjusting to your playing style).
- Petrified Cactus is not designed to be a sniper when she's more of close to mid range. She has 25 more health at the cost of movement speed and projectile velocity. Besides, increased projectile velocity would make timing a little more difficult when trying to hit anyone through cover and someone pretty close to you.
PS: You can't just make demands on nerfs or buffs when you'll realize that she's a top tier character. There's probably not many players that are accurate at detonating. (Except I am the one that can play Detonate classes like a pro)
