Falco

The change in Falco's Forward Smash.

• Dash attack deals more damage on both early and late hitboxes (9% (early)/6% (late) → 10.5%/7.5%) with compensated knockback growth (70 → 63/61).
• Forward smash's hitboxes have been moved forward on frame 17, moving back again on frame 18. This makes it better match the move's animation and gives it better hit detection.

Mewtwo

• Forward throw's Shadow Balls deal more damage (2% → 2.4%; total: 13% → 15%).

Meta Knight

The change in the first two hits of Meta Knights's Up Smash.

The change in the third hit of Meta Knights's Up Smash.

• Up smash now has more range (hits 1-2: 4.5u → 5.5u, hit 3: 6u → 7u) and now has a trip chance of -1, making it so the opponent can't trip and fall out of the move.
• The first two hits of forward and back aerial deal 0.5% more damage (1.5% → 2%).
• Up throw has more knockback growth (70 → 76).

Wario

• Neutral attack:
  • The first hit deals more damage (4% → 5%) and has less ending lag (FAF 30 → 28).
  • The second hit deals more damage (5% → 7%) and has less ending lag (FAF 34 → 30).

Ike

• Up smash has altered knockback (base/scaling: 50/86 → 49/90), increasing it overall).
• Quick Draw deals more base damage (6% → 9%), and thus deals more knockback.

Mega Man

The change in Mega Man's Down Smash.

• Dash attack
  • Dash attack has less startup (frame 8 → 7, FAF 61 → 60).
  • The final hit deals more knockback (base knockback: 60 → 70).
• Down smash has more downward range, hitting below the stage more reliably.
• Crash Bomber deals more damage (hits 1-4: 1% → 1.5%, total: 8% → 10%).
  • However, this results in the multi-hits dealing more knockback at high percents, making them more likely to knock opponents out of range of the rest of the hits.

Rosalina & Luma

The change in Rosalina & Luma's Down Smash.

• Luma slows down more quickly when launched, resulting in it not being launched as far.
• Rosalina's down smash has more vertical range as well as more range close to Rosalina.

Robin

• Clown Kart Dash has more base knockback when spinning out (60 → 67).
• Dash attack's multi-hits deal more damage (1.8% → 2%), and some of the hitboxes having less base knockback (50 → 45 (early, hitbox 0), 40 → 35 (mid, hitbox 1), improving its consistency.
• Down tilt:
  • The first and second hit of down tilt has less knockback growth (30 → 11) less base knockback (20 → 17) and the final hit of down tilt launches at a lower angle (45 → 40).
  • Only the first hit of down tilt will hit opponents hanging from the ledge, whereas before the first hit would lift opponents into the rest of the attack. Additionally, airborne opponents with frame 1 intangible options (such as Rest) can now escape the final hit, as the lower knockback reduces hitstun.

Ryu

• Both hits of forward tilt (heavy) have less startup (frames 16 (hit 1)/18-19 (hit 2) → 15/17-18).
• Hadoken:
  • Hadoken, and in turn True Hadoken, deal more damage (7% (light)/7.5% (medium)/8% (heavy) → 9%/9.5%/10%).
  • Shakunetsu Hadoken's last hit deals more damage (7.3% → 9.3%).
  • Input multiplier reduced, but overall damage is still higher due to the base damage increase (1.25× → 1.2×).
  • All variants have less base knockback (Hadoken: 68/68/67 → 67/67/66, 58 → 57 (late, light and medium), 58/68/58 → 57/67/57 (late, heavy), Shakunetsu Hadoken: 60 → 58 (last hit)).

• Inkling can act earlier after refilling ink (FAF 30 → 25).

• Forward smash's sourspot has been pulled back (Z: 12.0 → 9.0) and the sweetspot is extended backwards (Z2 : N/A → 16.0). This makes the sweetspot easier to hit.
