Jolt Haymaker has a bigger hitbox when you do it point blank
So basically your close-up burst move got slightly Bigger
Also Jab-Jab KO punch works now

I'm not entirely sure what the Jolt Haymaker change means. If you activate it early, is the hitbox bigger than before or what?
If there's increased range at the bottom i wonder if it can hit ledge

I know it's early days but are the buffs from the latest (3.1.0) patch enough to take Mac from being considered the worst character?

If not, then it's still appreciated.

I've been seeing Little Mac gets some results after his buff such as him placing 8th in a power ranking, so shouldn't we have a data thing for Little Mac's results? You know like you did with Kirby?

For once being in the air proved to be useful:

Little Mac finally got buffed- Hooray!
In no way that will really matter- Boo!

Well, I'm sure some LM main will find a way to exploit increased hitstun on up-tilt and make use of those frames shaved off of neutral.

Based on what I've heard and seen the up tilt buff is actually really significant. It now confirms into multiple moves and is safe on hit at lower percents. Increased knockback on up special is something I've personally been pining for, so it's nice to finally get that. Stronger counter is nice and the numerous neutral special buffs seem good on paper, but I'll have to see how they fare in practice.
