This time Corrin didn't get touched.

The VR video stated, "Dozens of stages supported".

So not all of them?

EDIT: Maybe the 2D stages like Flat Zone X aren't included

LOL PICHU GOT GUTTED

AND THEY REVERTED THE FISHING ROD TOO THANK THE LORD

 

[Mythra]

>They actually Buff the Puff

 

[drag0nscythe]

Oh hey they fixed Charizard's jab finally.

Not the Fair autocancel fix I was hoping for but I'll take what I can get.

No Ridley buffs. Shame.
Looks like they buffed pikachus grab and killed poor pichu,

 

[Iridium]

Well, Link got nothing, but Lucario finally got some needed buffs.

 

[Will]

This time Corrin didn't get touched.

dude if ike is mr. nair then corrin is mr. fair, every corrin i fought has used that move to chain into itself so many times it puts ike to shame

it's only fair

I saw this earlier on Nintendo Life. It's actually suppose to be a competent eye tester making use of the 3D. The price is most likely to stop random people from buying it and only having practitioners who will seriously use it, buy it.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

They posted a youtube video about the vr

Wow! I always wanted to see Smash Ultimate as if it was running on the 3DS!

 

[Noipoi]

Incineroar got very minor buffs

ayyyy

[Scoliosis Jones]

Oh don't worry, I'm the youngest of my brothers so I know how to get my *** handed to me in video games and keep on having fun while playing.

That’s ironic, because when I was younger, I crushed my older brother at Smash so bad and to a point that he actively stopped playing a lot of Nintendo games.

My dad still laughs about it.

 

[Iridium]

You know what I just remembered. Whoever uses VR might have to deal with occasional jump scares with Screen KOs.

Joker Side Special Made it easier to hit multiple times with Eigaon.

Villager Up Smash Attack Made it easier to hit multiple times.

This makes me happy. I am happy

 

[Icedragonadam]

So Patch 3.1.0 in a nutshell.

-VR
-Amiibo Arenas
-Wall Jumps got nerfed
-Many multi hit moves got buffed.
-Characters like Pichu, Peach/Daisy, and Lucina got nerfed
-Characters like Little Mac, Bowser. Jr, and Lucario got buffed.
-Kirby didn't get buffed.

I'm also sad Lucas didn't get any buffs as well.

 

[Will]

>d-tilt to ko punch just got even more confirmed
>unnecessary super armor buff that makes up smash super safe
>they actually fixed f-tilt
>side special can probably hit on ledge now like in smash 4

>Ridley gets nothing

VR looks neat I guess.

Yeah that happened to me with quite a few games with my brother, Smash is one of the only games I still play with my brother anymore since he can still beat me in it.

 

[Z25]

Back to Detective Pikachu though can we talk about how the movie opens?

Spoiler

Tim’s first Pokémon would have been cubone a Pokémon that like him would be mourning the loss of its mother and wears her skull.

This also comes back at the end when the last obstacle was ditto being cubone to get rid of tim. Ultimately leading to Tim learning to accept loss and his past actions to live a better life with his dad in this new second chance.

That’s pretty deep.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Peach Fair got nerfed. I'd poor one out for Peach mains but that move was honestly kind of stupid sometimes. She also got an F-Smash buff to compensate somewhat so it's not all loss for her.

Not sure how "gutted" Pichu really is. Those self-damage nerfs will certainly add up throughout a battle and the F-tilt nerf probably hurts, but he's still a small hurtbox with kill confirms and lightning loops. It'll definitely hurt him in the long run though.

Looks like this is the first patch with real nerfs though rather then just minor tweaks. Only top tiers seem to be effected by the nerf hammer and it wasn't all losses (Wolf having a Jab fix and buffed Shine seems nice and might even make him more fun to play in the long run, imo). They also seem to be sticking with the "buff more then nerf" philosophy looking at characters like Jr., Mac, and Captain Falcon gaining more then the top tiers lost.

There's tons of QoL changes overall though, especially to multihits and jabs, which is hugely appreciated.

When you look at the patch notes and see Pichu's section

This is false accusation.

Pichu is massacring himself.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

They buffed Bayonetta.

 

[Sari]

Oh boy they nerfed Luigi's down-B by shortening the invincibility duration. At this rate the next patch will have it deal damage to you when using it.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

They buffed Bayonetta.

Man, he does not like what he sees under his sheets.

Don't I know the feeling.

 

[Will]

honestly didnt expect that many mac buffs

his ground game just got upped pretty good but i wont be satisfied until im able to use haymaker again after i get hit which will probably be never

Oh boy they nerfed Luigi's down-B by shortening the invincibility duration. At this rate the next patch will have it deal damage to you when using it.

I think they shortened the duration because of this.

 

[ZephyrZ]

All these multihit buffs and still no Zelda nair fix.

Less important but we need a Squirtle bair fix while they're at it.

Oh boy they nerfed Luigi's down-B by shortening the invincibility duration. At this rate the next patch will have it deal damage to you when using it.

They were actually fixing a bug that let him be invincible for the entire move's duration, including the endlag.

It'll hardly effect actual competitive play.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I for one am glad they did that to Isabelles fishing rod

 

[TheCJBrine]

Goodness were the Pichu nerfs really necessary?

I know people can be good with him, but I found him hard to use well. I guess I just suck.

Now, what do they mean by Ice Climbers recovering midair jumps the same way as other fighters? I guess I failed to notice much of a difference when playing for some reason, and I didn't realize you could desync Nana while grabbing, heh. I just tried desyncing by doing different moves and such quickly, but couldn't keep it going.

Glad to see that Bayonetta seems to have been buffed! I haven't looked at the list closely yet, but all of her changes seem to be moving in the right direction.

I had a long day at work, both figuratively (the internet was down for a few hours, so I had to make up lessons as I went along while only having a vague idea of what level my students were at) and literally (my shift was about an hour and a half longer than normal).

To try and unwind, I might look into Fullmetal Alchemist, since I haven't watched that series yet. Does anyone know if Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a standalone series? Or do I need to watch the original one to know what's going on? (I know the original anime went off in a different direction from the source manga)

No love for the big boys apparently, Ridley got nothing while K. Rool got a very minor buff at best. Some of the top tier nerfs may make those matchups a bit easier for them though.

Speaking of which, they're really trying to play into the glass cannon role with Pichu thanks to the increased damaged it takes plus the larger hitbox. I can see that making playing Pichu more stressful now that there's more of a risk factor.

 

[PeridotGX]

when only gets worthless buffs

 

[Deleted member]

I know people can be good with him, but I found him hard to use well. I guess I just suck.

She's been widely considered one of the best characters in the game since launch so it's probably warranted. Though aside from the Ftilt and hurtbox nerfs it might not be that bad, depending on how much self-damage she takes now.

 

[Deleted member]

Jeez Pichu got put through the ****ing ringer. Granted, I feel like it’s impossible to make Ult Pichu’s kit any worse than a tier, but bloody hell did they balance him out.

 

[Sari]

I for one am glad they did that to Isabelles fishing rod

I'm glad that they reverted it too but I was expecting some brand new buffs instead of just reverting a nerf from the last patch. Considering that almost no one uses her competitively she is in desperate need of buffs.
