List of updates (SSBU)/2.0.0 changelog

This is a list of known changes in version 2.0.0 of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Stages

• Fixed the UI and name-tags remaining mirrored in Training Mode after one of Palkia's attack, Spacial Rend, ended in Spear Pillar.

Mario

• Dash attack launches at a lower angle (60° (clean)/58° (late) → 50°/48°), improving its ability to setup edgeguards.
• Mario Finale's Final Smash Meter version has a higher knockback multiplier (0.9× → 0.91×).

Donkey Kong

• Forward aerial autocancels earlier (frame 63 → 56), matching the move's interruptibility.

Link

• Up aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 47 → 43).
• Arrows from Bow and Arrows travel a longer distance (40 frames → 46).

Samus

• Missiles follow the Pokémon Trainer's new Pokémon if they switch after the missile was fired.
• Missile has more range.
• Aerial Missile has slightly more ending lag (FAF 60 → 62), no longer being less laggy than Dark Samus's version.
• Bomb has less endlag when used on the ground (FAF 49 → 47).

Dark Samus

• Missiles follow the Pokémon Trainer's new Pokémon if they switch after the missile was fired.
• Missile has more range.
• Bomb has less endlag when used on the ground (FAF 49 → 47).

Yoshi

• Shortened the amount of time the player is unable to grab a ledge after using forward aerial (71 frames → 68).
• Yoshi is now granted grab invincibility during his grab release and throw animations.

Kirby

• Kirby's Dash attack has greater range and all hitboxes deal 2% more damage (10%/7%/4% → 12%/9%/6%), with knockback not fully compensated.
• Forward tilt has increased base knockback (12 → 40) and reduced ending lag (frame 28 → 24). This improves its safety as a spacing tool, and even allows it to KO at higher percents.
• Stone now has damage-based armor starting on frame 19 when used in the air. This makes the move harder to intercept.

Pikachu

• Pummel deals less hitlag (14 frames → 12), shortening its duration.

Luigi

• Up smash has more knockback scaling (98 → 102).
• Down aerial's clean hit no longer affects grounded opponents. As a result, it has more startup against them (frame 10 → 11) and can no longer meteor smash them, greatly hindering its combo potential.
• Standing and pivot grabs have longer durations (frames 14-19 → 14-20 (standing)/17-22 → 17-23 (pivot)), and increases their range as a result.
• Green Missile has less ending lag (FAF 95(grounded)/81(aerial) → 94/80).
• Luigi Cyclone deals more knockback (80 (base)/130/120 (scaling) → 85/140/130).

Ness

• Up aerial autocancels earlier (frame 45 → 34), matching the move's interruptibility.
• Down aerial deals more damage (12%/10% → 14%/12%) with its knockback scaling compensated (84/86 (clean/late) → 74).

Jigglypuff

• Forward tilt has less ending lag (FAF 28 → 25).
• Down tilt has more knockback scaling (55 → 68).
• Up smash's sourspot deals more damage, now doing the same damage as the whole move (13% → 15%).

  • The ending lag has also been decreased (FAF 40 → 38) and it autocancels earlier (frame 28 → 26).
• Forward throw launch angle altered (55° → 50°), now sending people into a more desirable angle for edge guarding.
• The Final Smash Meter version of Puff Up has a higher knockback multiplier (x0.815 → x0.92).

Peach

• Peach Parasol's multi hits have reduced knockback (FKB: 180/160 → 160/130 (hit 1), 90 → 80/70 (hits 2-5)).
  • This makes it less likely for the move to KO at 0%.
  • Consecutive hits will connect better in some scenarios.
• It is now easier to grab ledges with Peach Parasol.
• Peach Blossom's camera has been adjusted. The borders will now always display correctly in scrolling stages.

Daisy

• Daisy Parasol's multi hits have reduced knockback (FKB: 180/160 → 160/130 (hit 1), 90 → 80/70 (hits 2-5)).
  • This makes it less likely for the move to KO at 0%.
  • Consecutive hits will connect better in some scenarios.
• It is now easier to grab ledges with Daisy Parasol.
• Daisy Blossom's camera has been adjusted. The borders will now always display correctly in scrolling stages.

• Forward tilt deals more damage (12% → 13%).
• Down smash deals more knockback.
• Whirling Fortress now connects better.
• Giga Bowser Punch now launches crouching opponents the same as standing opponents.

Ice Climbers

• The partner Ice Climber's AI has been improved: the partner will now follow the main climber better.
  • This makes desyncs even harder to perform.
• The ledgegrab-box for Belay has been increased (X offset: 0u → -1u).
• Fixed a bug that allowed the partner climber to survive after the leader runs out of stocks.

Sheik

• Up smash's first hit has more range (6u → 6.1u).
• Down smash connects more reliably against aerial opponents (angle: 140° → 200°).

Pichu

• Pummel deals less hitlag (15 frames → 14), shortening its duration.

• Teleport can grab on to ledges more easily, with the new ledge grab range being roughly twice its original size.

Roy

• Down aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 55 → 52), matching the move's interruptibility.

Chrom

• Soaring Slash's meteor smash hitbox has reduced knockback (FKB 160 → 150), and Chrom's falling speed is increased 15 frames into the descent (-6 → -7.5). This makes the move more likely to KO Chrom first when used in a sacrificial KO, limiting its ability to secure wins in a last-stock scenario.
  • Additionally, the descent will now sometimes fail to connect into the landing hit when used out of a jump, due to Chrom descending much faster than the opponent.
• Down aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 55 → 52), matching the move's interruptibility.

Mr. Game & Watch

• Forward aerial's explosion hitbox has increased range, matching the visual explosion more closely and allowing the move to catch opponents from below the ledge. This improves its edgeguarding potential.
• Down aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 51 → 49), matching the move's interruptibility and allowing the move to auto-cancel after a full hop + Fire.
• Up Aerial's location reassignment glitch has been removed.
• Oil Panic's grounded mobility glitch has been removed.
• Down Taunt's air puff now correctly vanishes and reappears when interrupted.

Pit

• Lightning Chariot will launch crouching opponents the same as standing opponents.

Zero Suit Samus

• Forward smash now has a sourspot at close range that has less knockback scaling (109 → 97).

• Dash attack deals more damage (11%/8% → 13%/10%) with knockback not fully compensated (Early: 100 base/45 scaling → 96/44; late: 100/30 → 98/27).
• Charizard's down aerial landing lag animation no longer causes its tongue to clip through its head.

Diddy Kong

• Neutral aerial autocancels earlier (frame 50 → 27). It is now early enough to buffer short hop and fastfall with no landing lag.
• Monkey Flip release glitch has been fixed.

Lucas

Rosalina & Luma

• Luma's physics have been reverted to those from Super Smash Bros. 4 for the most part, giving it access to options that were removed in patch 1.0.0.
• Luma now advances once again with jabs thanks to the mechanical changes in its physics, albeit way less than Smash 4 jabs.
• Luma's up tilt deals more knockback.
• Down tilt sends Luma farther forward, increasing the range. This also removes a bug that made Luma bonk its head on the floor while performing the move.
• Dash attack connects more reliably.
• Rosalina can grab ledges faster after using neutral (frame 68 → 67) and forward aerial (frame 84 → 83).

• Palutena can grab ledges more easily during Warp.

Pac-Man

• Forward aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 43 → 26), which allows it autocancel out of a short hop fast fall.
• Down aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 56 → 50), matching the move's interruptibility.

• Fixed the Witch Time slowdown glitch.

Inkling

• Shortened the amount of time Inkling is unable to grab a ledge after using neutral aerial (60 frames → 56).
• Splat Roller:
  • Splat Roller has altered knockback (60 (base)/80 (scaling) → 25/105). This decreases the bury duration at lower percents, but increases it at higher percentages.
    • By the time the new bury duration overtakes the old one, the bury duration would have already been very long anyway, and the move no longer buries for a notoriously long amount of time at low percents.
  • Splat Roller hitboxes were moved back, giving it less range.
  • The ink from the Splat Roller no longer launches specific characters such as Ice Climbers much higher when using their respective up specials on the ink.

• The Final Smash Meter version of Plasma Scream has a higher knockback multiplier (x0.62 → x0.71).
• The instant KOing glitch involving Sonic has been fixed.

King K. Rool

• Down throw has a different bury scaling formula (90 frames + 0.5*damage → 60 + 0.75*damage). This allows buried opponents to more easily escape at low percents, but more difficult at high percents. Specifically, it buries opponents for less time below 125%, and buries them longer above 125%.
  • This change makes direct KO followups beyond 125% more consistent, especially against opponents good at mashing.
  • It conversely makes it take longer for followups at low percents to start connecting, as well as makes it easier for opponents bad at mashing to avoid slower KO followups like forward smash below 125%.
  • The infinite jab combo (down throw to jab, repeat) that worked at 200%+ has been removed, now having the opponent "bounce" on the third loop.
• Blunderbuss:
  • Blunderbuss has a shorter windbox duration, (5 seconds → 2.5 seconds).
  • Blunderbuss no longer turns opponents invisible when KOing at their last stock.
• Propellerpack's horizontal hitbox is smaller, making it difficult to KO opponents straight to the upper blast zone and making it less safe when recovering. Most notably, it doesn't snap to the ledge as often as it used to.

Isabelle

• Fixed item collided with two Fishing Rods that would behave erratically, most noticeably infinite Assist Trophy glitch.
• Fixed the Slingshot Crash glitch.
• Neutral aerial autocancels earlier (frame 39 → 34).

Incineroar

• Up smash has more knockback.
• Incineroar can grab edges earlier after using up aerial (frame 58 → 56).
• Down aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 59 → 45), matching the move's interruptibility.
• Up throw has more knockback.
• Cross Chop travels farther vertically and horizontally (Height multiplier: 0.81× → 1×). While this hinders its potential as a KO confirm follow-up from down throw, this more prominently improves its recovery potential.
