Notices
The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Neutral Special:

  • Change Arrows do not deal fire damage, and are not physically on fire.
  • Nerf The move has more startup (earliest firing frame: 14 → 18).
  • Nerf The arrows take longer to charge (50 frames → 60).
  • Buff The move has slightly less ending lag (lag after firing: 24 → 22).
  • Change The arrows fire at an altered, variable angle (4˚ → 5˚ (uncharged)/1˚ (fully charged)).
  • Buff Arrows have a longer duration (35 frames → 60).
  • Change Arrows fly slower (speed: 2.8 (uncharged)/6.3 (fully charged) → 2/4.4).
  • Change Arrows are floatier (gravity: 0.035 → 0.015 (uncharged)/0.005 (fully charged)).
  • Buff Overall, arrows have more range.
  • Nerf Arrows deal slightly less damage on average (4.5 (min)/12 (max) [rounded down] → 4/12 [rounded down]).
  • Nerf The arrows launches at the Sakurai angle, rather than upwards, and has less knockback (45 (base)/70 (scaling) → 8/50), removing their followup potential and preventing Toon Link from properly punishing opponents who get hit by them.
  • Buff The arrows do not have reduced shield damage.

Side Special:

  • Buff The max angle of the boomerang is slightly higher (33˚ → 35˚).
  • Buff Boomerangs have a longer duration (127 frames (normal)/163 (smash input) → 147/185).
  • Nerf Boomerangs deal less damage when moving out (base: 11 (clean)/7 (late) → 8/5).
  • Buff Boomerangs' clean hit lasts longer (3 frames → 9). The return also deals slightly more damage (2 → 3).
  • Change Boomerangs travel slower (speed: 2.4 (normal)/2.9 (smash) → 2.3/2.8), and turn around slower (acceleration: 0.047 → 0.04).

Up Special:

  • Buff Grounded Spin Attack has less startup (minimum frames: 9 → 6).
  • Nerf It has more ending lag (Spin FAF: 66 → 75).
  • Nerf It is more likely to drop some hits.
  • Nerf It launches horizontally instead of vertically (84˚ → 48˚), combined with the previous change, this removes its combo potential.
  • Buff It deals much more knockback (71 (base)/85 (scaling) → 70/180), granting it KO potential.
  • Nerf The aerial version grants less height, and rises slower, worsening its recovery.
  • Buff The aerial version deals more total damage (12 → 14). The final hit deals more damage (3 → 4), increasing its knockback despite slightly reduced knockback scaling (180 → 170).
  • Change The final hit launches at a higher angle (38˚ → 45˚), improving its KO potential off the top, but worsening it off the side.
  • Nerf It has more landing lag (24 frames → 30).

Down Special:

  • Buff Down special has less ending lag (FAF 40 → 37).
  • Nerf The bomb deals less total damage (base damage 8 → 4.2).
  • Buff The bomb only has one hit, making it more consistent.
  • Change The bomb deals more knockback.
  • Change The bomb has a longer timer (220 frames → 300).
  • Change The bomb is more prone to exploding when hitting the ground (speed to detonate: 1.7 → 0.7).
