So, what was changed in the update?

[Thundering TNT]

I was just curious about what (if anything) got changed involving Mac in the newest update?

Recovery improval? Might be one great daydream though, not sure.

The only significant change I've noticed is that you have to be noticeably closer to the opponent than before for F-Smash to pass through the opponent. I figure either the windboxes on startup are stronger or the movement is spread more evenly on the start-up instead of being a quick burst motion.

In fact, if you're as close as possible and up-angled F-Smash, you'll still hit them because you don't pass through them as far. That's good.

Up-B still has a dead zone. His recovery is just as bad as before. HIs attacks don't appear any more powerful. I haven't noticed anything else.

could be placebo, because i don't have any way to test pre-patch/post-patch differences, but i feel like mac's dsmash was re-set to pre-1.06/7's angle. ie. it hits the opponent at a more horizontal/lower angle again. can anyone with a dual set-up check that please? not that it makes much of a difference, tbh, but i think it's a buff.

I thought it was always a 30-degree hit.

i'm really curious as to where this 'recovery buff' thing is coming from. imo there is no truth to that at all.

i haven't noticed a recovery distance, or if there is one, its too small to make a difference. i still have to space it the same as before.

Been playing a lot of LM lately. Havent noticed anything different about his recovery as well.
