Lately I've been wondering if the mechanics for certain items have been modified. During my times studying the mechanics for the size changing items and Metal Box, I have been able to get down the following information...

Default Size Mechanics
s = size multiplier
r = ratio factors (launch rate, crouch cancel, smash attack charge, rage, stale-move negation, etc.)
  • Damage Dealt: ((s - 1) * 0.8) + 1
  • Weight: ((s - 1) * 0.6) + 1
  • Knockback Taken: r / (((s - 1) * 0.5) + 1)
Lightning Size Mechanics
  • Damage Dealt: ((s - 1) * 0.6) + 1
  • Weight: ((s - 1) * 0.6) + 1
  • Knockback Taken: r / (((s - 1) * 0.5) + 1)
Metal Box
  • Weight Multiplier: 4.5x
  • Knockback Resistance: 30 units
Now, I don't know if Smash Ultimate will reuse the same formulas for the size changing items and Metal Box as in Brawl and Smash 3DS / Wii U, but with the game's release coming soon, I thought it was worth analyzing.
