Patch 1.1.2 Incoming

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I wish I had known this patch would be pushed last night! I played some great matches last night, wake up so I can share some of my replays this morning, and find out 1.1.2 has already been installed and all my replays broken. Ugh!

And they say that you shouldn't put off until tomorrow, what you can do today. Today pretty much proved that statement with the new update's installation.

wish I wasn't out of touch this week ... my poor replays never had a chance to see another light!

so it's out now guys. supposedly 21 mb from what i read, guess it was really just to fix diddy

 

[Depressed Gengar]

What exactly was wrong with Diddy anyways? It must have been pretty significant to warrant an immediate patch.

There's this glitch where if Diddy interrupts his shieldstun animation during multihit attacks he'd become immune to grabs until you hit his shield again.

 

[ZenJestr]

he was 100% immune to grabs after....something. I forgot what you needed to do to trigger it (there's a YouTube video on it, just search Diddy immune to grabs or something like that) but yea once it triggered he couldn't get grabbed at all.

All the kids whining about lengthy load times never knew the struggle of the 90's gamers. Yeah there's a bit of load time, but after the start, that's pretty much it.

I don't remember seeing any load times on my SNES

Anyway, is it confirmed that the only change in 1.1.2 is the Diddy bug fix?

 

[ItsMeBrandon]

Well, the Diddy bug fix is the only thing mentioned in the notification. Not even stuff like "changes to enhance gameplay experience," if I read it right.

Which is weird, because this would be pretty much the first time Nintendo's released any specific patch notes for the game.

 

[Stromp]

These oversights are terrifying. How do you just MISS something like this?

Agreed. Glad it didn't take too long to patch

In programming terms, this is what we'd call an "edge case", or maybe even a "corner case". There are a lot of conditions that have to be just right for the bug to even have a chance of appearing. Short of testing every character shield dropping against every move and type of move. While it's exceptionally odd that it only applied to Diddy, it's not very surprising that it wasn't caught.

inb4 more than Diddy patched

So the patch only fixed the Diddy glitch, huh? I guess I have to update my game again and mess around offline for a while and then take another break from Smash again.

I'm not worried about the replays because I've never saved any since the patch before it.
