This is a list of known changes in version 3.0.0 of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Universal

The new update brings new features on the general gameplay side:

  •   Perfect shields will no longer activate multiple times when the shield button is released once. This was creating more downtime than a single perfect shield.
  •   It is easier to punish dodges if they are used too excessively.
  •   The downtime of a parry against a projectile has been reduced.

Overall, there is one nerf that has come back most often, it's the reduction of the power of some attacks against the shields. This could make the attack that was nerfed less effective against the shield of his opponent but much more motivating the player to create combos that can destroy them.
