Smash Ace
So, well, we apparently got buffs. The major one being a Kart Dash damage increase from 4% -> 7%.
Now, I kinda went over the physics of this move in another thread, so I'm just gonna point something out from that debacle here. Our new lowest speed damage is our old top speed damage - and that scares me because Hammer Combo already starts failing early.
This feels like it could be either a blessing in disguise, or it's forever going to ruin our sacred Side-B > Up-B Hammer combo. -on the upside, it does add more KB to Side-B > U-air, so if that kills earlier, are we better off?
I'm gonna do some labbing and come back with some results. I'll update this page as I go along. Any and all discussion and own experiments are welcome to be posted here!
[Note]: !! After some further checking, this thread is actually kinda moot due to some misreported patch changes - but other discussion is held here... Just... Kinda disregard OP.!!
[Edit]: Okay, upon looking into this, I don't actually see a change to dash... Quite irritatingly... Someone please feel free to explain what actually changed with dash to me, I'm just not seeing it.
[Edit 2, Electri-- No.]: Only thing I see buffed is actually the spinout. Which is good, but not really what I was hoping for... Oh well!
