Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Patch 1.2.0 Released

Today, Patch 1.2.0 for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was released, notably two days after the patch’s announcement on December 11th, 2018.

Patch 1.2.0 includes:

• Game balance alterations
• Adjustments to challenger difficulty
• Better communication between systems in arenas
• Changes to preferred rulesets

Your preferences for online matchmaking are said to have higher priority, so you should be more likely to find a match with the ruleset you want, however the patch notes also state it might take a little longer than usual to find matches now. There were also multiple fighters noted as having been changed, these characters being:

• Donkey Kong
• Link
• Kirby
• Luigi
• Ice Climbers
• Young Link
• Olimar
• Toon Link
• Villager
• Greninja
• Pac-Man
• Duck Hunt
• Isabelle

We don’t know what changes these characters got or if they have been nerfed or buffed, but you can keep up with the changes as the community finds them on the patch notes thread.

Author’s Note: Are you like the author and are happy to see that the system for preferred rulesets has changed? Please let us know in the comments below!

 

Edit: nvm found the patch notes...turns out its just mostly bug fixes

 

Did you know if the Patch Notes AI changes affected in some way World of Light?

 

That was quite fast for game fixes.

It's a shame they didn't fix the multi-hit linking bugs for certain aerial attacks. I guess if we do get true buffs/nerfs they will be in February.

The patch notes aren't super detailed. There could be some World of Light gameplay changes based off of these nonspecific bullet points:
– Game balance adjustments.
– Various gameplay fixes.

 

luigi's in this
i just hope luigi wasn't nerfed
he's my best character
and i only just picked him up

 

I like how they have to redo the difficulty for approaching challengers

Of course, they do it when I already finished unlocking the characters lmao

I know, right before I own the game too, I’d’ve liked the challenge

 

What they really need to patch is the difficulty for the more rare the spirits. From the actual difficulty to the shooting challenging after. It's ridiculously tough

 

This is good news for me! (now I can get the harder characters faster now without having to do World of Light)!

(Hopefully they don't pull a Smash Wii U move where the A.I. is the same high level for all Unlock fights).

 

Difficulty lowered on computers *sigh* unfortunately I've already unlocked them all. I really didn't mind the difficulty, but I can understand why it'd be frustrating.

 

That moment when you realize that Greninja actually got nerfed

I dunno, some challenge is pretty well for me

 

Wait, they've nerfed Greninja even more?

lmao

Why did he even need nerfs? He wasn’t exactly ‘game-breaking’, but I guess Sakurai just does what he wants.

 

"But I guess Sakurai just does what he wants."

This time, Sakurai left balancing completely to the balancing team. He wasn't involved in adjusting parameters at all.

Yeah, stop being that shill that blames Sakurai for everything.

Ok? That still doesn’t change that Greninja doesn’t need nerfs.

 

No Inkling fixed (either buffed or nerfed), eh?...
