This is definitely true; you do hear horror stories of games hurt by poor patches. Many are complaining that StarCraft 2 is being overpatched, and that this is hurting its competitive development.
It means the block sizes of the download when you buy the game from the eShop (not the ROM size itself, particularly.)
MK8 2.0 added the on-screen map, bumped up the VR cap to 99999, made the game compadible with the DLC, and a bunch of minor things, if I remember correctly.
Okay, I went through each move of Zelda's to find any changes. There seem to be at least a couple true changes, and a couple POSSIBLE changes that were made:
PS, I tested it all, damages, approx KO %s, angles, etc.
NAir
* The Approximate KO % seems to be changed around a little. It KOs slightly earlier than before on the final hit AT HER HANDS while the center hit-box appears to KO slightly later. (Hands: 242% // Middle: 285%)
Standard Special [1] - Nayru's Love
* This one was probably just something I missed before when testing Nayru's Love, but apparently the center hit-boxes of the final hit are slightly more powerful than the tip hit-boxes. (Center: 277% // Tip: 349%)
* The move's IASA appears to start slightly later. Needs more testing, but when using it it felt slower, and I try to 'memorize' the visual of the IASA "Frame", and the IASA "Frame Visual" looks different than it used to, I think.
Standard Special [3] - Nayru's Passion
* The explosion hit-box feels like it has better range. It felt puny last time I tested the move, and could hardly hit above/below her, but now it feels like it can hit very well above and below her. I'm not sure 100% though if this is a true change.
Down Special [1] - Phantom Slash
* The fully charged phantom slash appears to KO slightly earlier. I'm not 100% sure, but the damage difference seems too large to just be a change-in-testing-style error. (KO%: 136% < Both hits, fully charged. Used to be 145%.)
Down Special [3] - Phantom Breaker
* Similarly to variation 1's power boost, this one appears to have a slight power NERF at full charge. But I'm FAR less sure about this one, as it was only a 4% difference. So THIS one actually could have been a testing-style-change inconsistency.
As you can see, the found changes are very small, and likely won't make an difference in custom variation choice, or competitive viability. Anything you don't see here appeared to be unchanged as far as I could tell. I even tested her pivot grab, and we can rest easy knowing it has the same range.
Well, duh. That's what I meant by the "obvious notes." But they never explained what they meant by "Other changes to enhance the user experience."
Uhh. You have slight control over the angle of each of the 2 hits. You have to control it so both hits land. It's a fantastic move; if the first hit always linked into the second one it'd either be too good or take no skill (and cause complaints). If you know how to use it, only online matches should cause trouble because of the lag.
Whats perfect about having half of the roster "not being viable" for competitive play or to place high in tournaments?
I posted something earlier in this thread. I'm updating to 1.0.3 on my good 3ds now to confirm it myself.
I've been trying for a while just to find someone with 1.0.3 so we could test to see if TL was change. If you have two 3DSs and would be willing to see if TL has changed that would be awesome, and I would really appreciate it. His ATs have been confirmed to be unchanged, so I'm just wondering what % his moves (including zair) do in 1.0.3.
I read other people saying they found the opposite to be true, so it seems unlikely that anything changed with the online mode.
Screenshots can now be shared. This is the main advertised feature.
For what it's worth, according to an interview balance for Smash 4 so far was based primarily on votes by a persistent body of 12 top members of the dev team that played every night, who met with Sakurai twice a week.
But doesn't that logic apply to changing knockback and damage? Knockback in particular could create all kinds of issues, infinites and such, they have to check every matchup against a move just to see if their tweak made a difference. It takes a lot of work no matter what you patch, I just find it unlikely they will prioritize spending that time on balancing the characters over fixing glitches that break the game's physics.
That's actually a good point. who knows what they are thinking.
Because people cry about how OP a character is instead of saying how much their used character sucks lol. But that would be cool if they buffed not so great characters. Like taking away falcos dair startup animation and landing lag =]. But this 1.03 i've read they increased falcos dair hitbox and gave it more meteor smash hit on enemies making them fly down farther but havent confirmed.
also to add, they couldnt patch melee lol no networking capabilities.
Short hop falcos dair and see if it create this tripping animation please =/
Wait you could do this?
Exactly! With few exceptions, I'd rather they just buff the weak and avoid nerfing the strong. Only nerf when broken. If good, just make everyone else good to match!
Thank you based Dantarion. You're the kind of people we need.
Now I don't put any stock in this, but I've run into someone claiming that Palutena's lag has been reduced all-around. Unfortunately, I haven't used her often enough to counter this claim.
There are no character moveset changes.
Just saw Dantarion's post, I trust the guy and retract my statement.
No it is still doing 2% i just checked it out from up close and farthest possible. can you check and see if falco Short hop dair trips around 23%? or creates a get up animation
I don't play falCo much but on 1.02 cannot cause ike or Kirby to fall and do a get up animation with a dair at anything even up to 50%
hmmmm i gotta try it out again i guess thanks for checking really appreciate it
Some people don't care about online play or may have more than one 3DS. They could post the results online for others to exploit.
