Smash 3DS Version 1.0.3 is out!!

[Colin Steele]

Pikmin confirmed sentient, no longer morally dispensable cannon fodder.

 

[MattTheGameFreak]

Really?

It's been about 10 minutes and it's barely been filled at all. (It has noticeably increased but not by a lot.....)

Stop the download, close-out of everything, and retry?

 

[ChikoLad]

It's downloading really slowly for me, jeez what's in it anyway? I'm a bit surprised since I saw a patch note shortly before it started and it was very short.

That's a whole lotta "stability".

>notices your location

Considering how I'm having the same problem, it's likely an Irish problem.

I have had my 3DS plugged in on charge right beside my router for what must be nearly an hour now, and it's only at 25% now.

The best way to find out about patch changes is to look at your replays and see if they de-sync or not.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

No I won't. It's filled up to just below the "Ver. 1.0.3" message so it is moving.

I ain't quitting so it can take even longer.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

If the download isn't working, you can always wait until you put your 3DS to sleep. The download will resume while in stand-by mode.

Don't know if this is legit, but take a look at the top comment of this post: https://www.facebook.com/Esports.D1/posts/1559966367571869

I don't know if I should take this update this seriously.

I'm wondering about taking a piece of paper and writing two columns (One with 1.02 and one with 1.03) and noting everything about every Megaman moves (damages, knockback, lag etc.) in the two version to see the difference.

But at the same time I feel that I'm taking this too seriously and it will be a waste of time, and there's also the "I feel better but I didn't take a medicament but a sugar" effect.

 

[rhysmorgan]

For all we know there could have been no changes to the characters whatsoever.

'Balance changes to make the game more enjoyable' could just be something we'd never realistically notice like a 1.5% spawn rate reduction for Mr Saturn, considering this is Sakurai we're talking about.

I honestly think it's gonna be Smash Bros's equivalent of Valve's "Updated the localisation files."

 

[MattTheGameFreak]

Longest drought has been added to the 3DS end fight stats.

 

[Gamingboy]

Nintendo doesn't do "patch notes" because they are Nintendo and have to be secretive about everything least we question their Nintendo-ness

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Someone on a different forum reported having problems accessing Challenges after getting the new patch. Is this true?

Edit: Checked for myself, and I can still access Challenges.

 

[Hugo154]

I experienced a glitch a few times before 1.0.3 where when you went online, then pressed B to cancel while it was connecting, it would just stay on the loading screen forever and never exit to the main menu. Tried it now after the patch and it exits immediately, so it seems that they fixed that.

Downloaded absolutely fine on my terrible 0.6 Mbps 3 mobile tether, took no more than 10 minutes.

 

[AuraWielder]

I don't know if I'm seeing things, but is Marth's range increased with this update?
I had a seriously hard time hitting with tippers upon release, but now I can consistently do it again. I think it's increased, but maybe it's the placebo effect. Still... it seems increased to me.

 

[ChikoLad]

Well the download must have sped up to what it should have been somewhere along the way, because it's suddenly finished.

Time to start toying around myself.

 

[Terotrous]

Someone test the Down B landing lag cancel with Link / Toon Link / Peach.

I'm kind of hoping this is true. ZSS needed some nerfs and landing Ness' Dair sometimes is a little difficult, so that's good news for me. Granted, if this is even correct of course.

 

[N-TG]

I just wish for some online stability and fixing the connection issues. I still haven't been able to enjoy online. Only spectate.

Every time I've played For Fun up to now before the patch, I've had horrible lag issues. I just played one game a few minutes ago for the hell of it and there was no lag. Hopefully this wasn't a coincidence.

 

[MattTheGameFreak]

I don't recall it being so prevalent before, but Ike has super-armor on his forward-smash now? o.O Sheik has hit me when I've used my forward smash, but I did not flinch, and she went flying...

 

[Reila]

Nice. I am really hoping Rosaluma were nerfed as some people are saying in some other site

 

[LancerStaff]

Thanks Sakurai, like the Smash fanbase needed something else to overexamine and generally act crazy over.

I'm just going to assume there were no changes until we get video proof.

 

[popsofctown]

The best way to find out about patch changes is to look at your replays and see if they de-sync or not.

I have like no replays saved, but someone do this. If you have a replay that desyncs, you know one of the characters in the replay was saved. Replays are strings of inputs, so once something behaves a little differently you'll see the characters start attacking the air, SDing, etc.

 

[Tollhouse]

So has the Pikmin AI been improved? I'm testing Olimar and I'm not noticing any Pikmin running away and killing themselves.

Glad I'm not the only one who had trouble with that Dair.

Some one said that Meta-Knight's hit-boxes were fixed, can some one confirm this?

Also, holy ****, I really was not expecting actual balance changes in patches, just bug fixes. This is shaping up to be a really stellar Nintendo experience.

Nice. I am really hoping Rosaluma were nerfed as some people are saying in some other site

If they did that, they may have gotten a good bit closer to a perfectly balanced game...

 

[Einyuri]

I am going to be sticking to the boards while I try out Palutena. So far she seems a little bit faster but this could just be me.

Edit: I've tried Zelda also and she seems exactly the same as she was pre-patch and I've clocked in prob. over 300+ matches with her. I'll be trying Lucina and Palutena over the course of the day and see if I can find anything in regards to those two.

 

[Darkzephr]

This is ridiculous. Nintendo clearly has accepted that people want to play this game competitively, but no other game does balance patches without specifying changes. I've got no idea if the chain grab I practiced for hours still works, If my kill percentages that I've been studying are applicable, or even if there was a huge change to the overall mechanics. Even casual games like Hearthstone give detailed patch reports. This is really frustrating.

I've checked lots of my replays involving Marth, Robin, and Ness, and they all still work, so it seems to me that nothing was changed about those three at least. Somehow I don't see them changing Marth's range significantly without also changing Lucina's, and hers definitely hasn't increased (she still can't hit characters on the Battlefield platforms from the ground with jab/f-smash, which Marth can).

Thanks for the info.

 

[Dr. Snakes]

I'm not seeing the Meta-Knight Hitbox fixes. They still don't match the animation. The same for Marth. Apparently, he's had a slight range increase, but he acts the same to me. FSmash still doesn't match the animation at the very tip toward the end.

 

[ChikoLad]

Just did some matches as Rosalina, and went to Training Mode too. Seems identical to before.

Don't know about that bug involving DHD's clay pigeon, though.

 

[TTTTTsd]

Yeah the replays thing is exactly why I don't know how serious they're going to be about bugfixing, just cause of how replays work. I feel like it's all in our heads. Prove me wrong though! (Any Doc buffs would be appreciated)

 

[Carrill]

Someone test the Down B landing lag cancel with Link / Toon Link / Peach.

That's still there. I tried it with Peach.

 

[Colin Steele]

That 4chan set looks pretty straight-forward to test. Some one with both patches should go ahead and try his Fsmash, and see if the post has any credibility.

 

[Zumakito]

Apparently Yoshi's jump armor got nerfed. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[ItsRainingGravy]

Testing right now. Will post results soon.

 

[Nocally]

just beat my own smash run high score, but I hardly think it´s because of the update.

 

[LancerStaff]

Pretty dang confident that there's zero Pit/Dark Pit changes.

 

[The Real Gamer]

The fact that we even have to dig around to look for changes is sad...

Nintendo gonna Nintendo.
