We are OK!

Here is the Patch Notes thread:
https://smashboards.com/threads/v6-0-0-patch-notes.492129/

We will hand out large infractions and/or temporary bans to those who stifle this process of patch exploration
Some examples include
1. Posting false changes, good intentions or not.
2. Asking if anything has changed when the patch notes are there for you to read.
3. Immature behavior and complaining over the patch changes.

When checking changes, remember that Ultimate has many different damage multipliers.

  • Percent values taken from proper matches (non-training mode) have scaling adjustments based on it's current freshness; a 1% difference seen in a match may not be a real patch change and should be double checked before being posted.
  • For aerials remember that aerials performed during a short hop have a x0.85 damage multiplier.
  • Moves deal more damage (x1.2) in 1v1s matches than in matches with more than two players. This multiplier also applies to Training Mode.
~~~~~~~~~

What Nintendo's official patch notes terms mean:
  • "Attack speed" - Startup
  • "Power" / "Attack power" - Damage
  • "Attack range" - Hitbox size
  • "Launch distance" - Base knockback (BKB) and/or Knockback growth (KBG)*
  • "Launch angle" - Knockback angle
  • "Undamaged launch distance" - Base knockback (BKB)
  • "Vulnerability" - Endlag / First active frame (FAF)
  • "Vulnerability when Landing" - Landing lag
  • "Landing time" - Aerial auto-cancel window
  • "Time until launched opponents can move" - Hitstun
  • "Hitstun time" - Hitlag
  • "Hitstun Shuffle Distance" - SDI multiplier
  • "Super armor" - Damage-based armor or knockback-based armor
  • "invincibility" - invulnerability frames
  • "Hit detection" - Active frames
  • "Easier to hit multiple times" - Made hits of a multi-hit move link more reliably

*: Nintendo does not always specify if both BKB and KBG have been changed or just one of them when using the term "launch distance."

HELL YEAH, K. ROOL BUFFS!

Nair's landing lag is much more smoother and has better combos out of the late hit.
Fair actually feels like a move on a heavy.
Blunderbuss come out way faster and the normal shot kannon ball actually kills below 180%!

God bless Sakurai! (I know he doesn't do all the balance changes, but still)

Not a bad patch. Wish more characters were addressed in general but the characters that were are meaningfully different which is seldom the case with these updates. For Kirby I just wish they'd reduce the length of his eating animation for non explosive projectiles. It leaves him wide open and it'd be cool if he could use inhale as a more genuine answer to projectiles. I'm glad they noticed N-air's startup is atrocious but they should have gone as far as 6 if they want it to compete with B-air's applications.

I agree. I hope they do a balance update soon as well, but most of these characters that were addressed were considered really bad if not meh, so I am glad they got amped up. They wanted to probably get these two characters outta the way, so I hope between now and February (when we are supposedly getting the last character), we get a balance update that buffs everyone.
No one really needs to be nerfed. Id rather characters have dumb stuff, than no one having dumb stuff. Arsene needs a slight nerf, but thats all I feel.

I apologize if I'm missing it in there, but did you get the increased KBG on the kannonball as well?

6.0 DK changes are detailed below

Punch - Charges 10F faster (120 -> 110).
Fully Charged Punch - KB adjusted (78 KBG, 20 BKB -> 73 KBG, 35 BKB)
Fully Charged Air Punch - KB adjusted (78 KBG, 25 BKB -> 72 KBG, 40 BKB)

Down B - 3F less startup (15 -> 12), 8F less endlag (30 -> 22), and 1F less cooldown in between pairs of slaps (27 -> 26). Hits on frames 12-13, 23-24 with a total duration of 46 frames if you stop at 2 slaps for example.

Nair - Damage increased (11/8 -> 12/9). Hitbox sizes increased (4.5/4.5/5 - > 5/5/5.7). A new frame 10 hitbox (size = 5) was also created that only lasts 1F lol.

Ftilt - KBG increased (55 -> 78)

Grounded Up B - SA window increased (8-17 -> 5-17)
Grounded Up B First Hit - Hitboxes created with 366 launch angle (autolink angle) that only hits airborne
Grounded Up B Final Hit - KB adjusted (170 KBG, 40 BKB - > 157 KBG, 60 BKB)

It really doesn't need to at this moment. One change not included above is that its knockback, along with U-Airs, have been buffed absurdly.

N-Air went from 100 KBG to a whopping 117 KBG and U-Air similarly, from 108 KBG to 115 KBG, and now does 10% as opposed to 9%. To put into comparison, the Kirbycord have surmised that N-Air actually manages to do more knockback than B-Air, while also being -2/-3 on shield. U-Air now patches (not fixes, but greatly patches) his vertical can't-do-anything issue by giving him a real U-Air that can juggle and catch opponents in the air. It being faster makes it better as a FF aerial as well, being -3.

With air speed buffs out of the table, the dev team thought of the next best thing: boost his reward at all ranges, and all of it meshes incredibly well for what his gameplan is. I think he'll always struggle with stuff based on it being the archetype assigned, but he is much more fun and rewarding thanks to all these changes. Only time will tell what new combos Kirby has in store with these changes. Until then, watch out for ledgetrap N-Air. Please.

Edit: For source, I used https://rubendal.github.io/ssbu/#/Diff/5.0.0 - 6.0.0/Character btw.

Also, has anyone calculated Terry's weight yet? Wondering where he weighs in , especially compared to Ryu and Ken.

I think he is 108 compared to Ryu and Ken being 103. How is he heavier than Ridley and Banjo & Kazooie?

He's going to be an interesting one because his recovery doesn't snap (ala Cloud) so he's going to fall under the same heading of "Incredible neutral but damn near crap in disadvantage state".

I've been watching tournaments where folks picked him up early and players either do pretty well with him or get pushed off the ledge and die horribly.

His recovery though, he can mix it up in a lotta ways. I’ve seen power dunks, power wave stalls, both side specials, and up b to get back. Add to air dodge, quick and strong airs, and decent air speed, and he does fine offstage.

Yeah, he has mixups, but I can see him having trouble if forced to go low. His vertical recovery just isn't as impressive as his horizontal.

Fair point. He kinda feels like Banjo in that he has plenty of mixups, but is slow and easy to edgeguard. They both even have an invincible recovery move

I still think Banjo and Kazooie's might be more practical though considering Terry is pretty much stuck to the horizontal.

One last K. Rool change:


Gut Check seems to be a slightly better landing option, along with ledge-trapping.
It shouldn't randomly lose to Aether and other moves of that nature when edge-guarding anymore.


Also there's a few other undocumented changes:

-Fox's aerial damaged animation slightly raises his head. (Source)

-ZSS's Flip Kick no longer has a bury hitbox when she lands. (Source)

-A glitch with Snake's C4 where it would keep it's explosion hitbox on the opponent was fixed. (Source)

-A certain hitbox on the first hit of Charizard's Up-Smash that dealt 0% now deals 5% like the rest of the hitboxes. (Source)

-Mii Brawler's Counter Throw has a smaller grabbox, no longer grabbing behind them. (Source)
Wow, they really don't want this move to be good. Then again, most Brawler mains just use Feint Jump. (AKA Flip Kick's brother-in-law)

-Joker F-Smash hurtbox was altered so more moves won't whiff against it. (Source)
