This is the list of known changes in version 1.0.4 of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. This update became available on November 17th or 18th, 2014.

Universal[edit]

  • Change Launch speed influence no longer affects moves that launch at angles between 65° and 115°, or between 245° and 295°, with directional influence taken into account. This improves the effectiveness of vertical finishers and combo tools.
  • Change DACUS has been removed, making certain up smashes slightly less versatile.


Bowser[edit]

  • Nerf Self-destructs using Flying Slam now KO Bowser first instead of the opponent. When Bowser is KO'd, the opponent is released from the grab, potentially allowing them to recover back onto the stage.
  • Change Certain properties of Fire Breath have been adjusted.


Giga Bowser[edit]

  • Buff What appears to be ending lag on most ground attacks has been removed.


Bowser Jr.[edit]

  • Nerf Down throw deals slightly less damage: 8% → 7.5%. It also does eight hits, down from ten.


Captain Falcon[edit]

  • Change Raptor Boost (and its custom variants) can no longer transition into the hitbox if it interacts with a damageable floor.


Charizard[edit]

  • Buff Four frames of intangibility have been added to Charizard's head for its shielding animation. This leaves Charizard less susceptible to shield stabbing, as its head is not covered by the shield during these first frames even at full health, and could therefore be hit prior to the change.
  • Nerf Dragon Rush deals less damage: 15% → 11%.
  • Change Some properties of what appear to be the headbutt in Rock Hurl and Flamethrower have been adjusted.


Dark Pit[edit]

  • Change Electrocut Arm (and its custom variants) can no longer transition into the hitbox if it interacts with a damageable floor.


Diddy Kong[edit]

  • Nerf Neutral infinite's loop hits deals less damage per hit (1% → 0.6%).
  • Buff Neutral infinite's loop hits launch opponents at a higher angle (60° → 70°/90°), they have lower set knockback (8 → 6) and they have a lower hitlag multiplier (2x → 1.3x). All of these changes overall make neutral infinite connect more reliably.
  • Buff Neutral infinite's loop hits have bigger hitboxes (2.8u → 3u).
  • Buff Neutral infinite's final hit has a larger hitbox (4u → 5u) which is positioned higher (y offsets: 5 → 5.5), improving its range.
  • Bug fix Diddy Kong can no longer use Peanut Popgun to cancel non-tumble hitstun.
    • Nerf This naturally hinders the move's utility at lower percents especially, as Diddy can no longer use Peanut Popgun to potentially escape combos.
  • Change Exploding Popgun can no longer hit damageable floors.
  • Nerf Monkey Flip's grab has more startup lag with a shorter duration (frames 19-36 → 20-36).
  • Nerf Monkey Flip and Flying Monkey Flip's grabs have smaller hitboxes (4u/5u → 3u/4u) which have been positioned closer to Diddy (z offset: 5/4 → 3/2), reducing their range.
  • Change Diddy's barrel jets from Rocketbarrel Boost (and its custom variants) have received additional visual wind effects.


Dr. Mario[edit]

  • Buff Forward aerial has increased knockback scaling (85 (early/late)/95 (clean) → 95/102)
  • Buff Down aerial's loop hits deal 0.336% more damage (1.568% → 1.904%)
  • Buff Down aerial has less landing lag (24 frames → 21).
  • Nerf Down aerial deals less damage overall due to having two less hits (14.336% → 12.88%).


Duck Hunt[edit]

  • Buff Up smash's first hit has received an additional aerial-only hitbox. As the previous hitbox was ground-only, this allows the first hit to affect aerial opponents.


Falco[edit]

  • Buff Forward aerial's landing hit deals considerably more damage (2% → 5%). Its knockback values were not compensated, drastically improving its KO potential.
  • Buff Forward aerial's landing hit extends farther horizontally (z offsets: 11/8 → 12/7), increasing its horizontal range.
  • Buff Down aerial has less ending lag (FAF 58 → 52) and landing lag (26 frames → 23).
  • Buff Blaster has a more generous repeat window (frames 7-14 → 7-17).
  • Buff Grounded Blaster has a shorter delay between shots (34 frames → 29).
  • Buff Grounded Blaster has less ending lag (FAF 64 → 59).
  • Bug fix Fixed a glitch in which Reflector Void failed to reflect Timber properly.
  • Change Landmaster's falling hitbox can no longer hit damageable floors.


Ganondorf[edit]

  • Buff All aerials' landing lag decreased: 22 → 18 frames (neutral), 25 → 23 frames (forward), 22 → 20 frames (back), 22 → 20 frames (up), 30 → 28 frames (down).


Greninja[edit]

  • Buff Greninja can be at its maximum fall speed for an additional frame before it is forced into hard landing lag when landing (6 frames → 7). This notably means that Greninja now goes into a soft landing after a short hop.
  • Nerf The hurtboxes on Greninja's central body and head are larger (2.6u (body)/2u (head) → 3.2u/2.5u) and the head hurtbox has been extended overall, making Greninja easier to hit.
  • Nerf Up smash has considerably higher ending lag (FAF 42 → 52), significantly hindering its combo potential and making it considerably more punishable.
    • In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 1.0.0, the FAF was 50.
  • Nerf Up smash's first hit has a smaller hitbox (6.5u → 5u).
  • Nerf Up smash's second hit's sweetspot is smaller (7u → 6u) and it is positioned lower (y offset: -5 → -4), reducing its range.
  • Nerf Up smash's second hit's sourspot deals less damage (13%11%), significantly hindering its KO potential.
  • Nerf Up smash's late second hit deals less damage (11%10%) hindering its KO potential.
  • Buff Down smash deals more damage (11% (katanas), 9% (arms) → 13%/11%) without full compensation on its knockback scaling (93 → 90), significantly improving its KO potential.
  • Nerf Forward aerial has lower knockback scaling (92 → 84), significantly hindering its KO potential.
  • Nerf Up aerial's fifth hit now has set knockback (0 → 10) and no longer uses the auto-link angle (366° → 85°). This makes it connect less reliably with the final hit, along with making Greninja's drag down up aerial combos less consistent.
  • Buff Up aerial's fifth hit has a larger hitbox (5.5u → 6.2u).
  • Nerf Up aerial's final hit has lower knockback scaling (190 → 168), significantly hindering its KO potential.
  • Buff Up aerial's final hit's lower hitbox is slightly larger (6u → 6.2u).
  • Nerf Water Shuriken has more ending lag on the ground (FAF 25 (from release) → 32).
  • Buff Shadow Sneak and Shadow Strike have slightly higher knockback scaling (100 → 102 (forwards)/101 (backwards)).
  • Buff Shadow Sneak has less ending lag (FAF 77 → 67).
  • Bug fix Fixed a glitch where Greninja could cancel the landing lag from its aerials with Shadow Sneak.
    • Nerf This naturally hinders the mixup potential of Greninja's aerials on landing, as well as removing Shadow Sneak's ability to combo after certain aerials at specific percents.
  • Nerf Hydro Pump deals significantly less knockback (85 (base)/130 (scaling) → 65/100).
  • Nerf High-Capacity Pump has less set knockback (100 → 90).


Ike[edit]

  • Buff The third hit of neutral attack has less startup lag (frame 8 → 6), allowing it to connect more reliably.
    • Nerf However, its total duration was not fully compensated (FAF 40 → 39), giving it slightly more ending lag.
  • Buff Forward tilt has considerably lower ending lag (FAF 54 → 45).
  • Buff Down tilt has considerably lower ending lag (FAF 39 → 29).
  • Buff Down tilt deals more damage (7% → 8%).
  • Nerf Down tilt has smaller hitboxes (4u → 3.8u/3u).
  • Buff Down tilt now launches opponents vertically (361° → 80°) and it has more base knockback but less knockback scaling (50 (base), 90 (scaling) → 70/70). When combined with its lower ending lag, this grants down tilt combo potential.
    • Nerf However, this also hinders its edgeguarding potential.
  • Buff Down smash has less ending lag (FAF 74 → 71).
  • Change Down smash launches opponents at a lower angle (52° (hit 1/hit 2 (clean))/65° (hit 2, late) → 48°/61°.
  • Buff Forward aerial has less startup (frame 16 → 13) and ending lag (FAF 60 → 55).
  • Buff Forward aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 42 → 38), now being able to do so in a short hop.
  • Nerf Forward aerial has a shorter duration (frames 16-20 → 13-16).
  • Nerf Forward aerial has a shorter initial auto-cancel window (frames 1-5 → 1).
  • Buff Forward aerial has larger hitboxes (4.5u → 5u) although the far hitboxes have been moved closer to Ike to compensate for their horizontal range (y offsets: 9.5/6.5 → 9/6.2).
  • Buff Back aerial deals more damage (13% → 14%), improving its KO potential.
  • Buff Down aerial has larger hitboxes (4.8u/4.5u/5.3u → 6u/5.5u/6.3u).
  • Buff Great Aether's multi hits extend further away from Ike (z offset: 50/10/22/34/46 → 62/12/24/38/52), giving them more range.


Jigglypuff[edit]

  • Bug fix The instant reversal glitch of Rollout (by holding away while landing with Rollout when facing right) has been removed.
    • Nerf This slightly hinders Rollout's utility.
  • Bug fix There was previously an issue where if Jigglypuff landed with rollout while facing left and holding away, Jigglypuff could not turn around at any point after landing with Rollout and the move lacked a hitbox. This was fixed.


King Dedede[edit]

  • Nerf Forward aerial deals 1% less damage: 13% → 12%.
  • Buff Down throw's angle altered: 70° → 80°, making it less susceptible to DI.
  • Nerf Down throw's knockback scaling increased: 60 → 82. This hampers its combo ability at higher percents.
  • Nerf All variations of Gordo Throw require 1% less damage to be reflected: 3% → 2%.
  • Nerf All variations of Gordo Throw have had their hitbox sizes decreased by 0.4 units.
  • Change Dedede Burst's hammer hits transition into each other faster.
    • Nerf Due to the above change and the lower knockback on each hit, characters can now air dodge out of and escape Dedede Burst.


Kirby[edit]

  • Change Copy abilities whose base character's neutral special was altered by the patch have been altered in the same way.
  • Change Many behaviors, such as Stone and its custom variants and Final Cutter, have been adjusted.


Link[edit]

  • Buff Non-tipped forward smash's first hit's has lower base knockback (60 → 47), allowing it to more reliably lead into the second hit.
  • Bug fix Link can no longer throw a bomb with down special to cancel landing lag (outside of special moves which already could not be canceled).
    • Nerf This hinders the safety of his aerials and air dodge, hinders the combo potential of his aerials and it prevents Link from canceling hitstun if he lands while in non-tumble hitstun.
  • Bug fix Link can no longer throw a bomb with down special to cancel tumble hitstun.
    • Nerf This not only makes Link considerably more susceptible to combos, since he can no longer throw a bomb to cancel the hitstun and act sooner but this also considerably hinders his endurance, since he can no longer throw a bomb and then utilise momentum canceling to survive longer.


Little Mac[edit]

  • Nerf The period Little Mac can be at his maximum fall speed before using hard landing lag has been shortened: 4 → 3 frames.
  • Nerf End of roll intangibility: frame 17 → 15.
  • Nerf All hits of neutral attack except the first deal less damage: 3% → 2% (second), 8% → 7% (third), 1% → 0.7% (infinite).
  • Buff Due to their lower damage, neutral attack's second hit and infinite connect better into the following hits.
  • Change The first hitbox of forward tilt's each hit has a lower X-offset: -5 → -3.8
  • Nerf Neutral aerial's SDI multiplier increased: 1x → 2x.

  • Nerf Extreme Speed Attack hit 1 ending lag: 0 → 5


Lucina[edit]

  • Nerf Neutral attack's first hit deals less knockback (25 base/60 scaling → 20/50). While this does allow it to connect more reliably into the second hit from far ranges, this more importantly prevents it from linking into the second hit until much higher percents, hindering its reliability as well as its safety on hit.
  • Bug fix Fixed a glitch where using Counter after being edge-trumped no longer changes momentum.


Luigi[edit]

  • Buff Forward smash damage: 14%15%
  • Change Forward smash's side angle: 55° → 53°
  • Change Down smash's second hit angle: 70° → 60°

  • Change Super Jump Punch (default) ground sweetspot z-offset: 6.1 → 7.0
  • Buff Super Jump Punch (default) air sweetspot radius: 2.1 → 2.2
  • Change Super Jump Punch (default) air sweetspot z-offset: 4.7 → 5.5


Mario[edit]

  • Change Up tilt deals less damage: 6.3% → 5.5%, but the slight knockback decrease the damage reduction brings makes it slightly easier to followup at high percentage.


Marth[edit]

  • Bug fix Using Counter after being trumped from the ledge no longer changes momentum.


Mega Man[edit]

  • Buff Mega Man now receives additional backwards momentum when aerial grab released (0 → -0.8). Because of this, Mega Man is sent much further out when aerial grab released; removing most of the guaranteed followups which were previously possible against him.
  • Bug fix Fixed bug where Mega Man could use Rush Coil to cancel hitstun.
  • Buff Leaf Shield can be acted out of sooner.


Meta Knight[edit]

  • Buff Neutral aerial deals more damage: 7% clean/5% late → 10%/7.5%.
  • Nerf Forward aerial's first two hits' aerial-only hitboxes have lower set knockback (90 → 40) and no longer use the autolink angle (366° → 85°), leaving them unable to drag opponents down and set up locks.
  • Buff Last hit of back aerial has increased knockback scaling: 180 → 212.
  • Buff Up aerial's Y offsets increased: 17/14 → 19/16, giving it more vertical range.
  • Buff Down aerial's Y offsets (-4.5 → -6.5) and Z offsets (3.5/4.5/-4.5 → 2.5/3.5/-5.5) are farther apart, increasing the move's range and coverage below Meta Knight.
  • Change The sword trails of up aerial and down aerial match the hitboxes better.
  • Buff Dimensional Cape has a more horizontal angle (60° → 53°) and higher knockback growth (105/93 → 107/98), improving its KO potential.

  • Nerf Down throw's five hits before release deal less damage: 1% → 0.6%.
  • Nerf Down throw's release has increased knockback: 90 base/30 growth → 70/80, hindering its combo ability at high percents.


Olimar[edit]

  • Buff The Pikmin's safespot distance from Olimar has decreased (5 → 4), making them follow Olimar sooner.
    • Nerf However, there is also a shorter distance between the Pikmin's own safespots (5 → 4).
  • Buff All Pikmin except purple Pikmin run faster (40 → 60 (overall run speed), 2.4 (red/yellow/blue)/3 (white) → 3 (R/Y/B)/4 (W).

  • Nerf Peach can no longer ledge cancel Vegetable to instantly pull turnips and items.
  • Bug fix Fixed how aerials performed while floating would not affect the stale moves queue.
  • Bug fix Peach can no longer throw a turnip with down special to cancel landing lag (outside of special moves which already could not be canceled).
    • Nerf This considerably hinders the safety of her aerials and air dodge, hinders the combo potential of her aerials and it prevents Peach from canceling hitstun if she lands while in non-tumble hitstun.
  • Bug fix Peach can no longer throw a turnip with down special to cancel tumble hitstun.
    • Nerf This not only makes Peach considerably more susceptible to combos, since she can no longer throw a turnip to cancel the hitstun and act sooner but this also considerably hinders her endurance, since she can no longer throw a turnip and then utilise momentum canceling to survive longer.


Pikachu[edit]

  • Buff Forward smash's early and late hits have higher knockback scaling (65 (clean)/100 (late) → 73/102).

  • Nerf Rosalina's down tilt has more startup lag with a shorter hitbox duration (frames 4-8 → 5-8).
  • Change Rosalina's down tilt's near hitboxes have swapped priority.
  • Nerf Rosalina's down tilt's near hitboxes are smaller (3.5u/3u → 3.2u/2.5u) and the nearest hitbox has been positioned closer to Rosalina (x offset: 0 → 1).

  • Nerf Up aerial's loop hits hits now function properly, making it hit one less time, dealing less total damage as a result (8% → 7%).
  • Nerf Up aerial's final hit has less knockback scaling (155 → 138), significantly hindering its KO potential.
  • Nerf Needle Storm has more ending lag on the ground (FAF 41 → 47), hindering its safety and combo potential.

Toon Link[edit]

  • Nerf The period Toon Link can be at his maximum fall speed before using hard landing lag has been shortened (4 frames → 3).
  • Buff Neutral aerial has less landing lag (15 frames → 12).
  • Bug fix Toon Link can no longer throw a bomb with down special to cancel landing lag (outside of special moves which already could not be canceled).
    • Nerf This hinders the safety of his aerials and air dodge, hinders the combo potential of his aerials and it prevents Toon Link from canceling hitstun if he lands while in non-tumble hitstun.
  • Bug fix Toon Link can no longer throw a bomb with down special to cancel tumble hitstun.
    • Nerf This not only makes Toon Link considerably more susceptible to combos, since he can no longer throw a bomb to cancel the hitstun and act sooner but this also considerably hinders his endurance, since he can no longer throw a bomb and then utilise momentum canceling to survive longer.


Villager[edit]

  • Buff Forward item toss on the ground has less ending lag: frame 25 → 24.


Wario[edit]

  • Bug fix Change to DI system results in the removal of Wectoring, a glitch allowing Wario to rocket back onstage just after being able to act after knockback.
  • Buff Wario now receives additional backwards momentum when aerial grab released (0 → -0.6). Because of this, Wario is sent much further out when aerial grab released; removing most of the guaranteed followups which were previously possible against him.

  • Nerf Forward aerial's third hitbox is no longer unblockable.


Yoshi[edit]

  • Buff Four frames of intangibility have been added to Yoshi's head, nose and arms for his initial shielding animation. This leaves him less susceptible to shield poking, as his head is not fully covered by the shield during these first frames.
  • Nerf Dash attack has more ending lag (FAF 45 → 50).
  • Nerf Egg Lay has more startup lag (frame 17 → 21) and a longer total duration (FAF 40 → 44).
  • Nerf Egg Lay and Egg Launch have smaller grabboxes (5u/6.8u → 4u/5.9u).
  • Bug fix Fixed the "Giant Yoshi Glitch", which allowed characters to grow to ridiculous sizes in Multi-Man mode after being swallowed by Egg Lay.
  • Bug fix Fixed a glitch which allowed Yoshi to teleport back to an edge after using his up special after a ledge jump.
  • Bug fix Fixed a glitch that allowed Yoshi to execute a super high High Jump immediately after using Yoshi Bomb.
  • Bug fix Fixed a glitch which allowed Yoshi to slide far forwards with his up special after performing a boost pivot grab.
  • Change Yoshi can no longer slide on slopes with Yoshi Bomb.


Zelda[edit]

  • Buff Up tilt's ending lag decreased: frame 35 → 33, improving its combo ability.
  • Buff Up tilt deals more damage: 6.5% → 7.2%.
  • Nerf Pivot grab's Z-offset decreased: -4 – -18.7 → -4 – -15.7. This lowers its range.


Zero Suit Samus[edit]

  • Nerf Air dodge has more landing lag (14 frames → 21), now matching the rest of the cast.
  • Nerf Up smash has more startup lag (frame 8 → 10).
  • Buff Up smash's first hit has a longer duration (frame 8 → 10-11).
  • Change Up smash's loop hits all start 3 frames later.
  • Nerf Paralyzer has more ending lag (FAF 25 (from release) → 29).
  • Nerf Fully charged Paralyzer launches grounded opponents at a lower angle (60° → 315°), now keeping them on the ground. This not only makes it harder for Zero Suit Samus to get aerial followups out of the move (along with its higher ending lag) but it also notably prevents her from re-stunning fast fallers with another fully charged paralyzer, removing the move's ability to potentially infinite fast fallers.
  • Change Fully charged paralyzer now has a negative trip chance against grounded opponents (0% → -100%). This prevents the move from tripping grounded opponents despite its adjusted angle.
