List of updates (SSB4)/1.0.8 changelog

This is the list of known changes in version 1.0.8 of Super Smash Bros. 4. This update became available worldwide on June 14th, 2015.

Universal

• Grounded to air ledge transition mechanics altered, affecting run offs and other momentum techniques; characters can no longer run off the edge of a platform while performing a special move.
• The height at which a defender will land on a platform during a throw's animation overlapping a platform has been increased, reducing the ability for this interaction to happen. Notable on Ganondorf's Flame Choke (can no longer force this on Battlefield platforms against any character) and Mewtwo's Confusion.

• For unknown reasons, Screen KOs no longer occur in training mode.

Bowser

• Up tilt deals 1% less damage: 10% → 9%.
• Up tilt's start-up and ending lag decreased: 12 frames → 11 (start-up), 51 frames → 41 (ending).

Captain Falcon

• Non-angled and up-angled forward smash's knockback growths have been minimally increased, now KOing about 1-2% sooner.

Technical changelist 1.0.8

Change	Old value	New value
Forward smash knockback growth on non-angled and up-angled variants	94	95
Forward smash knockback growth on down-angled variant	84	83
Up air damage	13%/12%/12%/10%	11%/10%/10%/9%
Up air knockback growth	10/10/8/8	16/16/10/10

• Down-angled forward smash's knockback growth has been minimally decreased, KOing about 1-2% later.
• Up aerial's knockback has been reduced while its sweetspot, sourspot and middle hitboxes all do less damage: 13%/12%/12%/10% → 11%/10%/10%/9%. This makes it a less reliable KOing option.
• Up aerial's reduced knockback allows it to combo up to higher percents.

Charizard

• Neutral attack has been improved. Its hits connect together better and the first hit has increased weight-based knockback.

Technical changelist 1.0.8

Change	Old value	New value
Jab 1 weight-based knockback	15/10	26/22
Transition from first to second jab and second to third	Frame 10	Frame 9
Jab 3 knockback growth	110	130
Forward air hitbox 0 size	4.3 (early)/4.5 (late)	4.6/4.8
Forward air (early hitbox 0) X-offset	7	7.5
Forward air (late hitbox 0) Z-offset	7	7.5
Forward air (early hitbox 0) knockback growth	98	97
Forward air hitbox duration	4 frames	5 frames
Up throw angle	60°	70°
Up throw knockback growth	160	220
Down throw angle	Sakurai angle	70°
Down throw knockback growth	300	130
Down throw base knockback	40	70

• Forward aerial's hitbox size and duration increased.
• Up throw's knockback increased, making it both the strongest up throw in the game and a viable KOing option.
• Down throw's knockback and ending lag decreased: 80 → 72, making it Charizard's best combo starter at low percents. Although it is less reliable as a KOing option, this is completely mitigated due to the same update's aforementioned buff of Charizard's up throw.

Diddy Kong

• Jab improved. It transitions through to the second hit 2 frames faster, to the third hit 1 frame faster, and to the infinite portion 7 frames faster. The rapid hits additionally have reduced SDI capacity, and the final hit of the jab has increased reach, increased base knockback, and 4 less frames of ending lag.
  • The complete jab deals marginally less damage.
• Down tilt's damage was reduced by 0.5%, decreasing it's knockback. This, however, allows him to combo into moves like forward smash later.
• Up aerial's hitboxes on frame 3 are removed, causing it to cover less range and have more starting lag, it autocancels 12 frames later, and has less interruptibility (frame 36 → frame 39), lessening its usefulness for spacing attacks and making it harder to combo with. Its knockback growth was also decreased weakening its KO capabilities.
• All of Diddy's grabs have 3 more frames of ending lag.
• Up throw's damage was reduced (8% → 5%) and its knockback was increased, reducing its follow-up capabilities & making reliable KO followups slightly more difficult.
• Down throw damage increased: 6% → 7%.
• Down throw has increased knockback growth and a very slightly more diagonal knockback trajectory, reducing its follow-up capabilities and removing all guaranteed follow ups around 135%. Despite its higher knockback growth, it still cannot KO at realistic percentages.
• Up smash's final hit knockback growth: 126 → 129.

Duck Hunt

• Neutral aerial's landing lag decreased (22 frames → 17).

Falco

• Falco's air speed is higher (0.893 → 0.93).
• Falco's air acceleration increased (0.07 → 0.09).
• The first two hits of neutral attack now always launch opponents in the direction Falco is facing, improving their reliability.
• The near hitboxes on the first hit of neutral attack are larger (3u (middle)/2u (near) → 3.2u/2.5u)), with the near hitbox being positioned closer to Falco (x offset: 0 → -0.5).
• The near and far hitboxes on the first hit of neutral attack have swapped priority.
• The near hitboxes on the first hit of neutral attack launch opponents at lower angles (80° → 68° (near)/77° (middle)).
• The first hit of neutral attack has more base knockback (30 → 35). This improves its jab canceling potential, but hinders its ability to lead into the second hit.
• The second hit of neutral attack's near hitbox is much larger (2u → 5u) and it is positioned closer to Falco (x offset: 0 → -0.5).
• The second hit of neutral attack's near hitbox launches opponents at a lower angle (50° → 45°).
• Neutral infinite's near hitboxes are larger (3u (middle)/2u (near) → 3.2u/2.7u).
• Up smash's first hit's late foot hitbox now overrides the early foot hitbox.
  • This means that the foot hitbox can no longer hit grounded opponents above Falco, preventing it from hitting opponents on higher platforms.
  • However, the move always failed to lead into the second hit against opponents on higher platforms, allowing Falco to simply land the second hit, which is much more powerful.
• Up smash's second hit has less startup lag with a longer duration (frames 14-19 → 13-20). The animation was unchanged, giving the move more range below Falco.
• Up smash's second hit now has a part value of 1 on its hitboxes. As the first hit's hitboxes are deleted, this has no affect.
• Neutral aerial's loop hits have more set knockback (15 → 22) and they now use the auto-link angle (110° → 367°). These changes greatly improve neutral aerial's reliability.
• Neutral aerial's loop hits have a larger middle hitbox (4u → 6u) and it is now static, now fully covering Falco's body.
• Neutral aerial's second hit deals less damage (3% (hit 2)/12% (total) → 2%/11%).
• Neutral aerial's final hit has higher base knockback (40 → 55), improving its KO potential.
• Neutral aerial's final hit now uses one large extended hitbox rather than multiple smaller hitboxes (4u/4u/3u/3u → 8u), giving it more range overall.
• Neutral aerial's final hit now always launches opponents in the direction Falco is facing, making it more consistent.
• Neutral aerial's final hit has considerably more hitlag (1x → 2x). This makes it benefit more from frame canceling (even with its higher knockback) but this also makes it easier to DI and it significantly hinders the move's safety on shield.
  • The changes to shields in 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 would remove the shield safety disadvantage caused by the higher hitlag.
• Neutral aerial's final hit has startup lag with a shorter duration (frames 21-24 → 23-24).
• Forward aerial has less startup lag (frame 12 → 10), ending lag (FAF 59 → 51) and landing lag (32 frames → 25).
• Forward aerial has a a shorter duration (frames 12-34/35-36 → 10-27/28-29).
  • However, the final hit's lower startup lag allows Falco to complete the move in a short hop, which he previously could not do.
• Forward aerial's loop hits have a shorter rehit rate (6 → 4). This gives forward aerial an extra loop despite its shorter duration, increasing its maximum damage (8% → 9%) as well as making it connect more reliably and making it harder to escape on shield.
• Forward aerial's landing hit damage (5% → 3%) without full compensation on its base knockback (30 → 50), significantly hindering its KO potential.
• Up aerial has less startup lag (frame 10 → 7).
  • However, its total duration was not fully compensated (FAF 36 → 35), giving it more ending lag.
• Up aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 26 → 23).
• Up aerial has a shorter initial auto-cancel (frames 1-6 → 1-3).
• Up aerial's foot hitbox is slightly larger (4.8u → 5u).
• Up aerial deals less damage (11% → 10%), with the foot and leg hitboxes also dealing less knockback (27 (base), 100 (scaling) → 35/90), considerably hindering its KO potential.
• Up aerial's foot hitbox launches opponents at a lower angle (68° → 65°), hindering its KO potential along with its lower damage and knockback.
• Up aerial's leg and body hitboxes launch opponents at higher angle (68°/80° → 75°/85°), with it no longer being possible to LSI the leg hitbox.
• Up aerial's body hitbox deals drastically more knockback (30 (base), 20 (scaling) → 35/90). When combined with its higher launch angle, this transforms the hitbox from a drastically weaker sourspot to the move's sweetspot.
  • However, this also removes the hitbox's ability to lead into followups at higher percents, including potential KO confirms.
• Down aerial's clean hit has a longer duration (frames 16-18 → 16-19).
• Down aerial's late hit has a slightly larger hitbox (5u → 5.3u).
• Down aerial's clean now launches grounded opponents upwards with a less horizontal angle (285° → 80°). This means that the move can no longer be teched at higher percents, giving it much more consistent followup potential as well as granting it KO potential at very high percents.
  • However, this also removes down aerial's ability to lock and trip at lower percents, hindering its followup potential at lower percents in certain scenarios.

Link

• Down tilt deals 1% less damage: 12% → 11%, its knockback decreased and it comes out faster. This lowers its KO power, but improves its combo ability.
• Up smash's hits connect together better, with all three hits now connecting when the move lands and the first two hits now dragging the opponent toward Link instead of stunning them.
• Clawshot now behaves like it does in the version. Link's grab range has been doubled in terms of Clawshot length and grab distance. Clawshot also grabs just before it droops back down to the ground, while Link's standing grab has been sped up by two frames.

Meta Knight

• Neutral attack has been improved. It deals 0.2% more damage: 1% → 1.2%, its ending lag decreased by 12 frames, its hitboxes split to cover more space, it is harder to SDI out of, its knockback growth decreased and its hitbox size increased. This makes it much more reliable as a damage racker, even at high percents.
• Forward tilt's last hit deals 1% more damage: 3% → 4%.
• Forward tilt's last hit's ending lag decreased by 10 frames.
• Forward tilt's last hit's angle altered. While this slightly improves it KO potential at the edge around 150%, it weakens its combo potential.
• Neutral aerial's landing lag decreased by 4 frames.

Ness

• Ending lag of PSI Magnet significantly reduced.

Olimar

• Fixed a glitch where Pikmin Order no longer reverses from ledge grabs.

Palutena

• Up tilt's loop hits deal 0.2% more damage: 1% → 1.2%.
• Up tilt's hitboxes moved: bone 1000 → 0. This means the hitboxes are now centered around herself rather than her staff, and thus its loop hits connect together better.

• Consecutive uses of Balloon Trip now result in less distance.

Wario

• Neutral attack, dash attack, forward tilt and forward smash now always launch the opponent in the direction Wario is facing.
• The first hit of neutral attack has altered angles (65°/75° → 55°/72°) and knockback (35/28 (base), 50/50 (scaling) → (45/38)/50/40)), making it connect more reliably into the second hit.
• The second hit of neutral attack has larger hitboxes and it has an additional near hitbox (5.5u/3.5u → 5.8u/3.8u/3.3u), although its far hitbox has been moved closer to Wario to compensate its horizontal range (z offset: 12 → 11.7).
