Bowser Jr. 1.0.8 changes?

[Bob da Bob]

So what are the changes for Bowser Jr. in the 1.0.8 patch?

 

[ProofByContrapositive]

I think the skid animation is way shorter

 

[Bob da Bob]

i feel like his up smash has less end lag

 

[Duck SMASH!]

Your best bet is legitimate testing alongside an old copy. Anecdotal evidence is unfortunately insufficient to determine any serious conclusions.

Tested side by side between patched and unpatched versions on 1/4 time. They seem to be unchanged.

His up-air previously did 11 or 12 % (I can't remember which), but now it does 10%.

Can't confirm since I don't main him, but I think his neutral B cooldown got significantly lowered. Can anyone confirm? Otherwise, he seems mostly unchanged. Haven't been able to test his jab since that was one of his most obvious flaws in 1.07. Anyone able to test?

He feels unchanged, I thought his Uair did 11% also, but I tested it on my 1.0.7 3DS (turned wireless communication off a week prior to be extra safe) alongside my updated Wii U version and all the moves deal the same damage.

My test consisted of using 1/4x speed on training mode with my unupdated 3DS and my updated Wii U version and having to do really awkward things to make sure I input a move at the same time. Sorry guys, no changes to the Koopalings it appears.

He has a new sound with his down-b

I'm more than okay with that.

 

[pikazz]

99% sure of placebo effect, but the SideB's Knockback (not spinaround) has slightly more knockback

like I said, 99% sure of placebo effect

 

[krazyzyko]

Roy seems to have a flaming sword now.

 

[Fatmanonice]

He has a new sound with his down-b

And sometimes when they jump. It doesn't seem to be for all the Koopalings though. It's most noticeable with Iggy.

Up-smash used to catch my buddy from the side if he dropped his shield to try and punish, instead of rolling. This seems much harder, you have to overlap now - previously, peach could be adjacent to me, and it would grab him into the usmash.
I can't compare this side by side, but if anyone else can, that'd be helpful. Upsmash hitbox seems smaller.

Seems my favorite edgeguard in the game is gone, the mechakoopas dont get the strong hit on the way down but pops off to miss with the strong hit when used for edgeguard, meaning my 4 mechakoopas against ganondorfedgeguard wont be repeated ever again ;(

I just tested it and MK edgeguards still work like they used to before the update, they're just inconsistent sometimes.

While I'd like a couple buffs, I'm totally okay with no changes.

i'd be okay with no buffs is jr was as good as people like Ness, Falcon and olimar.
