Brawl-/Character changes: Difference between revisions

*{{buff|Up smash has greater range and no longer has [[Smash directional influence|SDI]].}}

*{{buff|A clean Knee Smash is stronger and can be done on any part of its initial hitbox.}}

*{{buff|[[Falcon Kick]] is a multi-hitting attack, and restores his midair jump when used in the air. Grounded Falcon Kick also travels further, and is jump cancelable near the end of the move for follow up combos.}}

*{{buff|Back and up aerials are more powerful}}

*{{buff|Down aerial deals more shield damage (0 → 16), and can now be buffered into a down smash by executing the move just before landing.}}

*{{buff|[[Rock Smash]] is now Stealth Rock, which is moved to down special. It functions similarly to its original move, but the remaining shards stay out, making it a useful edgeguarding and neutral tool. Additionally, it can be B-Reversed and now interruptible during start-up lag by performing a [[shield]], a grab, or an air dodge.}}

*{{change|Knockback on forward and down tilts are now set, and are extremely weak.}}

*{{buff|Dash attack transitions into a neutral aerial immediately upon going off the ledge.}}

*{{buff|Holding B while performing an aerial move will make Diddy pull out a throwable peanut.}}

*{{buff|Neutral aerial has a sourspot that hits opponents towards Donkey Kong, allowing for more followups.}}

*{{buff|''Barrel Pull'': [[Hand Slap]] pulls out a [[Barrel]] if the special move button is held. The Barrels will disappear quickly and no longer explode. The move is also faster and has significantly larger hitboxes.}}

*{{buff|''Retractor'': [[Reflector]] has additional graphics, and now draws foes towards Falco when the reflector is pulled back towards him. It is cancellable into non-special moves on hit.}}

 

*{{buff|Falco can switch between fast and slow laser speeds using up taunt.}}

*{{buff|''[[Wavedash]]'': As in ''Melee'', air dodging diagonally into the ground allows Fox to retain his momentum, improving mobility and combo ability.}}

*{{change|Can slide off ledges by crouching while walking or dashing.}}

*{{buff|Back aerial has a much stronger hitbox on his foot, being able to reliably KO under 150%.}}

*{{buff|Up throw can be canceled into a jump on frame 30.}}

**{{buff|''Slow Illusion'': Holding the shield button causes the movement to become slower and multi hit, also becoming shield cancellable. Links with a grab if done this way.}}

*{{buff|Type effectiveness has been removed.}}

*{{buff|''Ivycopter'': Ivysaur spins its leaves during [[Bullet Seed]], producing additional hitboxes on its side. This also causes it to behave like a helicopter when used in the air, slightly pushing Ivysaur upward if the B button is held, and allowing it to move from side to side at will, greatly aiding its recovery. However, the helicopter effect only occurs once per being airborne, and Ivysaur must land after using Bullet Seed for the helicopter effect to take effect again while airborne. If used on the ground, Ivysaur can still move left and right, but does not float up. Aerial version cancels into up special and air dodge.}}

**{{buff|[[Chef]] cannot cause self-damage.}}

*{{buff|[[Final Cutter]] can move slightly farther horizontally. When on the ground, holding down on the control stick right before the jumping part of the move skips to the projectile-shooting part. It is also possible to cancel out of the move before the projectile-shooting part.}}

*{{buff|Dash attack pushes Lucas much further, and has [[IASA]] frames added to all frames after hitboxes cede, essentially giving it no ending lag.}}

*{{buff|Forward tilt can cancel into other moves.}}

*{{buff|Down smash has been altered, to where the first two hits deal extremely weak vertical knockback with less damage, while the third hit is much stronger, and sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}

*{{buff|Up aerial now has a freezing hitbox.}}

*{{buff|Forward Aerial is now stronger and slightly bigger.}}

*{{buff|[[PK Fire]] gives Lucas a larger push back when used. Holding B (or tapping thrice) propels Lucas forward instead of backward. It is also a multi-hitting projectile that deals more damage.}}

*{{buff|Pressing the Shield button during the latter half of the Dash Attack makes Luigi do a "tripping attack" that spikes opponents.}}

*{{buff|[[Green Missile]] always results in a misfire when used. They can still be charged indefinitely, but won’t gain any extra distance. The attack's priority has been increased too, now passing projectiles and opponents. Also, Luigi can pull off a short-distanced misfire (uncharged missile distance) in a 1/8 chance. Is footstool cancelable.}}

*{{buff|[[Luigi Cyclone]] can cancel into a neutral, tilt, or smash attack just before the final hit when used on the ground. It also has suction while in the air.}}

*{{buff|Forward aerial has fire graphics, is much stronger and no longer has a sourspot.}}

*{{buff|Start-up and ending lag on his [[Fireball]] are significantly shorter, allowing him to shoot them at a more rapid pace. Grounded Fireballs bounce less often and aeriall Fireballs come out two at a time. In addition, if one holds B, instead of launching a Fireball, Mario will use the Firebrand move from ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga}}'', a burst of flame from his palm that deals multiple flame damage hits, allowing Mario to extend combos due to being attack cancelable on hit.}}

*{{buff|By holding ''B'', [[Super Jump Punch]] can be performed twice in succession, akin to Pikachu's Quick Attack, and the final hit is much stronger.}}

*{{buff|[[F.L.U.D.D.]] is always fully charged. It now pulls opponents towards Mario and can be canceled into anything except Fireball, Super Jump Punch, another F.L.U.D.D., or a jump.}}

*{{buff|Up smash now has better hitboxes on the side of the attack.}}

*{{buff|[[Shield Breaker]] pushes Marth forwards further while grounded. When airborne, it produces much more forward momentum, and is interruptible by aerial attacks during its hitboxes duration and ending lag.}}

*{{buff|[[Dancing Blade]] is slightly slower. The third hit angled down is a strong spike and final hit angled up is much stronger. An aerial Dancing Blade is now a single chop, acting like a faster forward aerial that also propels Marth slightly.}}

*{{nerf|Meta Knight is drastically lighter, now only being a single unit heavier than Jigglypuff.}}

*{{buff|The food from [[Chef]] produces vertical knockback and does fire damage and launches five projectiles at once. The pan is much stronger, but the projectiles are slightly weaker.}}

*{{buff|Pichu no longer takes any recoil from normal attacks. Instead, while performing an aerial, special, or smash attack, the player can hold down the button to strengthen the move at the expense of self-damage.}}

**{{nerf|It has much less base knockback (80 → 48).}}

**{{buff|It has more knockback growth (64 → 69). When charged, it has much more growth (69 → 93) at the expense of 6% self-damage.}}

*{{nerf|Forward smash is significantly weaker (73 base, 89 growth → 69 base, 54 growth) and sends at the Sakurai angle.}}

**{{buff|It is now a single hit that does 18% damage. When charged, it does 8% damage to Pichu but much more growth (54 → 74).}}

*{{buff|Hitting the ground during its downward aerial causes an explosion ([[Bulbapedia:Zap_Cannon_(move)|Zap Cannon]]). Boosted down aerial also meteor smashes and is a stall-then-fall.}}

*{{buff|Pichu's tapped neutral special is [[Bulbapedia:Nuzzle_(move)|Nuzzle]], which stuns opponents in front of Pichu at close range without self-damage. Pichu's held neutral special is [[Bulbapedia:Electro_Ball_(move)|Electro Ball]], which causes Pichu to take self-damage but leave behind a sphere of electricity that can stop approaches. Electro Ball is an exception to the recoil feature, being weaker than Nuzzle.}}

*{{buff|Pichu's tapped side special is [[Bulbapedia:Fling_(move)|Fling]], a move that launches him forward, striking opponents at the beginning of the move. When held, side special becomes [[Bulbapedia:Wild_Charge_(move)|Wild Charge]], which sends Pichu even farther and deals more damage at the expense of self-damage.}}

*{{buff|Tapped up special is still [[Bulbapedia:Agility_(move)|Agility]], but it does not damage Pichu or leave it helpless, and is one quick burst of distance that can be used up to three times in the air. Held up special is [[Bulbapedia:Volt_Switch_(move)|Volt Switch]], which functions the same way but causes damage to both the opponent and Pichu.}}

*{{buff|Tapped down special is [[Bulbapedia:Thunderbolt_(move)|Thunderbolt]], which is weaker than Thunder but is faster and does not directly hit Pichu, thus removing the self-damage. Held down special is [[Bulbapedia:Discharge_(move)|Discharge]], which causes significant self-damage to Pichu, but is also much stronger, able to KO below 100% if sweetspotted.}}

*{{buff|There is more control over the arrows shot from [[Palutena's Bow]] - there is no limit to their turning speed. Palutena's Bow can also be charged longer, and gains more power. Arrows fired upwards are much slower and smaller. Aerial charge animation can be cancelled near startup by pressing the shield button, which sends Pit tumbling.}}

*{{buff|[[Angel Ring]] spins much faster, racking up damage much faster, and propels Pit further. It will also now propel Pit off ledges instead of stopping on the edge. Using Angel Ring in the air will instead make him execute a weaker glide attack. Holding the special button will make him soar horizontally after striking.}}

*{{buff|Down tilt is an extremely fast close-range explosion with [[IASA]] frames as early as frame 8, with vertical knockback. Can be quickly comboed into other moves if it lands.}}

*{{buff|[[Charge Shot]] charges quicker and is drastically stronger, being able to KO well under 100%. The projectile is also slightly larger. Uncharged shots have a paralyzer effect.}}

*{{buff|[[Bomb (Samus)|Samus' Bombs]] are now Power Bombs, which start slower and have a much stronger explosion.}}

*{{change|{{b|Zero Laser|Samus}} will never transform Samus into Zero Suit Samus.}}

*{{buff|Second hit of jab can cancel into crouch or dash,}}

*{{buff|When sweetspotted, the forward aerial is stronger, and has drastically increased hitlag.}}

**{{nerf|Opponents break free almost instantly.}}

*{{buff|[[Egg Throw]] has a fire trail and produces a small explosion upon impact, with increased power. Eggs tossed also do not explode until impact with another character, damageable object, or wall/floor.}}

*{{change|Pressing the grab button for the last hit of a jab will fire a weak shot.}}

*{{buff|Down aerial is no longer a [[stall-then-fall]], behaving like a normal aerial.  This move spikes unless the A button is held.  This causes her to perform a multi hitting flipping attack propelling her up.}}

*{{buff|Down special only uses the attack portion with A. This is so the move can be followed up with specials better. Can jump in either direction, and double jump is regained.}}
