*Characters can now perform any ground attack out of a run, including their [[neutral attack]], [[tilt attack]]s, and all [[smash attack]]s. In previous games, only [[dash attack]]s, [[up smash]]es and [[special move]]s could be performed out of a run. Characters can also instantly turn around to input any grounded attack in the other direction. | *Characters can now perform any ground attack out of a run, including their [[neutral attack]], [[tilt attack]]s, and all [[smash attack]]s.

*The linking hits of all [[neutral attack]]s have had their angles and knockback altered to drag opponents close to the user, in addition to not lifting them off if they are on the ground. This allows for neutral attacks to connect much more reliably than before, and gives all of them the ability to [[jab lock]] (with the exception of {{SSBU|Ganondorf}}, {{SSBU|Meta Knight}}, {{SSBU|Roy}} and {{SSBU|Chrom}}). However, this removes guaranteed [[jab cancel]] setups. | *The linking hits of all [[neutral attack]]s have had their angles and knockback altered to drag opponents close to the user, in addition to not lifting them off if they are on the ground.

**Neutral infinites have | **Neutral infinites (with the exception of {{SSBU|Mewtwo}}'s) have been reduced in damage, but do far more hits in the same amount of time and inflict less [[freeze frame]]s, making them harder to escape. Their pushback from hitting opponents can also no longer drop the user off edges. | ||
*The function of the 0° launch angle has been changed, now raising to 30° at greater knockback values, similarly to the [[Sakurai angle]], but occurring later than said angle. | *The function of the 0° launch angle has been changed, now raising to 30° at greater knockback values, similarly to the [[Sakurai angle]], but occurring later than said angle. | ||
