I'd like to pick up Steve but I'm not sure I want to buy all of the remaining characters since I don't know who they are. Does the fighter's pass become discounted at all if you buy it after already owning one of the characters? Sad to say, my days of going to tournaments are over so I don't...

Looks like Smash Wiki has the full list: https://www.ssbwiki.com/List_of_updates_(SSBU)/8.0.0_changelog#King_K._Rool Buff Belly Super Armor has more durability (28.02% → 36.02%), allowing it to tank attacks like Ganondorf's forward smash at max durability. Dash attack: Buff The move has more...

I'd almost trade the armor for faster throw time, or better yet, give it the same treatment as Samus' missiles: side + B = faster throw with no armor and less distance whereas smash side + B = longer throw time with armor. The biggest problems with both of KKR's projectiles is that they're VERY...

Increase the ascent speed of his up+B, possibly even doubling it. This alone would massively increase his viability in tournaments, as his current biggest issue is the number of characters that can keep him offstage indefinitely after pushing him off. All the weight in the world isn't going to...

The BA buff is amazing, but I feel like the backthrow buff may very well be the sleeper hit, here. The angle went from 45 to 35, and not only does this make it a kill option at far lower percents but it also means we're forcing opponents to recover from even lower, which should set us up for...

Don't know the exact number yet, but KKR's new belly armor has between 36 and 44%, as he can take a warlock punch but not a reversed warlock punch (which deals 44%). I'm guessing 40% as that's a nice round number but it could be 42% if the balancing team has a Hitchhiker's Guide fan or two on...

Just confirmed that it can take a warlock punch but not a reverse warlock punch, so it's absorption is now somewhere between 36 and 44%.

Some solid KKR buffs, but I must say I'm once again sorry for Little Mac mains. :( Minor improvements to teching and get up attack? Blech... I feel like Mac is an edge case where it's obvious to everyone that he's hurting but the devs refuse to touch him for some reason. I never play as him but...

Taken from here and translated: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/support/switch/software_support/aaab/detail/800_fighter.html King Krull (lol) Dash attack I've increased the distance. Increased the time that the attack judgment of a high attack power lasts. Over Smash Attack Increased attack power...

Good find... And I'm not versed well enough in how hitboxes work to know what happened there, but I'm inclined to believe that, if the frame on which a collision is detected hits the belly armor in addition to the rest of him, a counter will happen. Though, I invariably feel like that...

As much as I'd love one of the RE protagonists in Smash (or 8 of them via costumes), I can't help but feel they'd play like an echo fighter of Snake due to having the same toolkit in most of the games (guns, explosives, rocket launchers, etc.).

I'd say give it some time to see how the buffs shake out in the competitive scene, but it's definitely looking promising. Kirby Kid is a pretty solid KKR player (the only other one of note I can think of being Ben Gold). Here he is doing quite well in one of KKR's worst matchups: Also, I...

Leon's Bowser is absolutely amazing and can take top tier players like Salem to last stock situations regularly if not beat them outright, so I'd say it's DK, then (though I still see DK more often than D3 in tourneys). I have mixed feelings on 'Dorf: on one hand, we've seen Nairo beat Light's...

Just wanted to stop by and speculate that Tracer may very well have been planned to be DLC pack #5 (and may yet be) but Blizzard's handling of Blitzchung's statements caused Nintendo to, at the very least, put a pin in the whole thing for the time being. Overwatch's arrival on Switch had a...

I love how the expression on Nana's face is constantly just, "I NEED AN ADULT!!!" regarding what's happening.
