Update History

3.0.0

• Down smash is automatically unleashed from charging state earlier and hit less often while charging (rehit rate: 3 → 4).
• The physics of Ness' yo-yo string are stiffer. This improves the consistency of down smash at the ledge.

3.1.0

• The physics of Ness' yo-yo string have been reverted back to their pre-3.0.0 properties.

Trivia

• The front hit has a hitbox before the final hit that is deleted on the frame it appears. As such, it never appears in the game.
