Tournament Mode [1.1.0] Community Patch Notes

[Shaya]

Hello and welcome to our sept-weekly ****fest!
Please avoid posting things you cannot confirm with evidence. Placebo be damned.
tl;dr if you don't read the blurb: I WILL INFRACT YOU

Spoiler: 'Angry' Extended Rule Blurb

Please avoid posting things you cannot confirm with evidence. Placebo be damned.
Please double check to see if something you've posted hasn't already been done so. In the top right corner you are able to search specifically within THIS thread, try the character name and see what others have said (+what's been disconfirmed or otherwise)
REMEMBER that damage decreases or increases nearly linearly affects knock back and hit stun. No need to say "this move kills earlier or later" when we already are aware of damage changes. IF damages aren't changed and knock back is different that should be noted.
For the most part, hitbox changes (size or angles) are hard to confirm without data backing and require hard evidence to be noted. Otherwise, hopefully we'll get a data dump some time soon #_#
Please be careful about comparing WiiU to 3DS with different versions, blast zones are different even on shared stages and other visual ques can be different. This means a move will kill at different percent in either version.

IF YOU ARE INSISTENT ON POSTING THINGS THAT ARE DUBIOUS AND DO NOT PRODUCE EVIDENCE YOU WILL BE INFRACTED AND/OR TEMPORARILY ROOM BANNED FROM THIS SECTION

Global Changes

• Nintendo has now made it obvious it is watching you while you play, eat, sleep and go to the bathroom to help decide Mii costume DLC.
• I am so upset Winnie the Pooh Bear was deconfirmed as a future playable character. We need to show Nintendo our OUTRAGE...
• Strong attacks have new animation effects on hit.
• Momentum from actions no longer sliding off ledges (MK/Falcon's dash grabs) has been reverted.
• UNIVERSAL invincibility duration on spot dodge and both rolls have been reduced by 1 frame.
• Hit lag modifiers greater than 1.0 are now safer on shield than before (Marth, Ryu, Roy, etc) dividing the hit lag frames the attacker receives by 1.25 (minimum 1.0) **

Table listing is in alphabetical order. You can sort the table by provided values for your convenience.

[U]Blah[/U] | - | [LIST][*][B]Magic[/B] -[/LIST]

 

[DJTengen]

I've tested it, Fox's jab lock is removed but the multi hit part of his jab seems to hit more times before the opponent can escape.

 

[Gunla]

I have two 3DS and will be able to test changes once time permits.

 

[Kodystri]

Robin's Down Throw has decreasued Knockback(So able to combo)

 

[Macchiato]

Zelda's Dtilt does 5.5% up from 4%

Zelda's Jab does 8% up from 6%

WiiFit's Sun Salutation heals 2% up from 1%

Tested

 

[RyeSSB]

Bair nerfed from 14% to 13%

 

[Katakiri]

Reposting:

Things I can confirm about :

1.1.0 MK's sword-trails are tighter. I can't get the sword trails to touch the foe without actually hitting them anymore. These moves are:

• F-Tilt
• F-Air (In fact the 3rd hit of F-Air's hitbox is longer than the sword-trail makes it out to be.)
• B-Air
• and D-Smash

• Up-Smash has sword-trails to the sides now, giving it a half-circle shape which is more accurate to the move itself.

It took 10 patches but MK no longer has moves that are shorter than their sword-trails.

 

[Yikarur]

Sheik: Fair weak hitbox is bigger, Weak Hit 4,8% -> 4,3% / Strong Hit 5,5% -> 5%, Landing Lag increased by 1-2 frames.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Realized my 3ds was a patch behind and I forgot to update to test, welp.

The fox change unable to cancel jab into jab is true though, so no more jab locks.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

From here: https://twitter.com/dantarion

Diddy Kong's Dsmash got a Knockback Buff
Toon Link's grab is 2 frames faster

 

[Yonder]

Luigi's fair damage decreased from 9% to 8%. Confirmed using one of the Luigi guides from before on here and comparing numbers.

 

[Pocket Freye]

Can confirm the fox double jab is nerfed. Pushes away, but the rapid jab might lock better.

 

[Funkermonster]

When used as a projectile and at low-mid%, 's Leaf Shield can now hit 2 times instead of just once and do up to 7% (previously only 3%). At higher percents it doesn't seem to work like that, but it seems to have slightly more knockback too. Can't use any footage, but try it for yourselves, I'm sure I'm right.

Tested on just so far.

 

[Nu~]

All of Pac-Man's glitches are gone. People won't sink through the stage when they step on the trampoline when we activate a new one.

Also, the angry hydrant glitch that made a hydrant on the ledge with a lingering hitbox is gone.

 

[HeavyLobster]

From what I saw in another chat, was Ganon's fair buffed?

I can confirm this. It does 1% more. Uthrow also does more damage, now 10%.

 

[Plain Yogurt]

Shulk's backslash hitbox comes out sooner, with the proof being that the animation looks super wonky now that the sword trail shows up sooner.

 

[Keychain]

Can confirm Roy's forward smash is still ridiculous.

 

[Yikarur]

Sheik has no damage changes (fully tested). F-air HAS NOT been changed (still does 5.5% and 4.8%). I WILL POST GIFS. The launch trajectory on all of her moves has no noticeable changes (could have small possible differences, but not really that visible).

Test it again. I hit 9 times with the weak fair hit, the damage was
4, 8 12 17 21 25 30 34 38 = 4,3

 

[Scykoh]

I've tested all of Jigglypuff's attacks and can't comment on frame data, but all of her attacks damage compares to the damage listed on the ssbwiki. I couldn't find any other damage list, so my apologies if any of that information is outdated. The one exception is that has her throws listed as 11%, where they're 10% but I know they were 10% in 1.0.8 as well.

 

[LiteralGrill]

It seems that Luigi's down tilt can now trip. And potentially combo into his up b.

Source: https://twitter.com/iba_nnu/status/626931827949727744

This Tweet goes to a vine showing this off.

 

[Potaters]

I am almost certain of this:

Palutena's Fair does 1% more
7% -> 8%
Edit: Also, I'm less sure of this but Palutena's counter turns her around when attacking. If it did before, guess I just got hit by some weird hitboxes.
Edit 2: Possible placebo, but G&W's up air feels harder to connect with both hits. First hit seems to windbox them even if it hits, which I didn't notice before.

 

[PenguinFluff]

Yeah, Luigi's fair got a 1% damage nerf.

But, dtilt doesn't pop them up now and it SEEMS like an UpB buff. Can't confirm yet.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Guys what's the 3DS version that was right before this? Need to check if I can test Iggy with my unupdated 3DS and updated Wii U

1.0.8.

I just tested this and short hopping at higher percents, makes leaf shield *STILL* hit twice

...ew.


Anyways, re-posting:
Confirming that Zero Suit Samus still has Triple Jump Glitch (RCO Lag) when hit out of Boost Kick.

 

[Yikarur]

http://giant.gfycat.com/DentalSlightGelada.webm
@Sheiks Fair Landing Lag

 

[ElOtroMiqui]

Dantarion confirmed Mario was untouched

 

[pnkgoldcatpeach]

Palutena:

Uptilt goes higher and you can't fall out of it. Tested on 0% Kirby and Sheik
Forward air does 8 damage instead of 7 (apparently on 3ds version it does 9%... but I can't confirm this)
Side tilt can do 12 damage now (cause it has been altered not damage wise, but function wise)
Auto Reticle does 8,9,9 damage (like first time you use it does 8, next time does 9, next time 9)

Dtilt has always been able to trip, but it used to hit opponents up, instead of away.

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

Can confirm Palutena fair damage change, from 7% -> 8%

 

[Keychain]

I have the 3DS and Wii U version so I can test those alongside one another. 3DS version isn't updated.

 

[Ray_Kalm]

Buffs for Ganon so far.

FAir does 17 (light) - 18% (sweet) from 16 (light) - 17% (sweet). Due to this, it kills earlier as well.
Uthrow does 10% now from 7% (still a two-hit move, and can follow up somewhat at 0% against a few characters now).

 

[Bribery]

Kirby:
Fthrow: 7% -> 5%, MUCH better for combos now. Nair, Fair, Uair, Upper Cutter are all true combos in training mode. .

 

[Excision7]

Sonics down throw got buffed, 6% —> 7%

Sonic seems much quicker than before.

 

[NachoOfCheese]

Kirby:
Fthrow: 7% -> 5%, MUCH better for combos now. Nair, Fair, Uair, Upper Cutter are all true combos in training mode. .

Confirmed.
We can add this in @ Shaya many people have confirmed it.

 

[TheWozny]

Samus's Dsmash might have more reach and knockback.
Also, I think he jabs might go into each other instead of being able to shield out of the first jab. (By means of more hitstun and seemingly more knockback on first jab).
Also, Fsmash might do more % on sourspot.

 

[Regralht]

Yoshi is no longer stuck in his down B animation after doing it immediately from a ledge hop on the right side of Dreamland. Here's a video of the glitch that I'm referring to.

 

[FullMoon]

So far it looks like Greninja's has a faster shuriken start-up (you can actually do a short hop double shuriken like how Falco could in Brawl, he could do that in 1.0.4 but couldn't after it) and D-Throw got a damage nerf from 6% to 5%, however it's now a kill setup into F-Air at 140% on Pit.

Also this is now possible thanks to it:

Greninja confirmed footstool god.

 

[Mugutu]

Sonics down throw got buffed, 6% —> 7%

Sonic seems much quicker than before.

pretty sure dthrow has been 7% for a while, and his speed seems exactly the same.

 

[Antonykun]

ok I know mii swordfighter's Down throw has been buffed in trainig mode I am capable of doing d-throw u-air at 90% and yes this does lead to the kill no this is not something i could do in 1.0.8
