List of updates (SSBU)/6.0.0 changelog

This is a list of known changes in version 6.0.0 of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Donkey Kong

• Forward tilt deals significantly more knockback, KOing at around 160% at the edge of Final Destination.
• Neutral aerial has increased range, and deals more damage (11% → 12% (clean), 8% → 9% (late)) with no compensation on knockback.
• Giant Punch reaches its full charge faster (frame 131 → 119), and deals slightly more knockback when fully charged.
• Grounded Spinning Kong's super armor starts earlier and has a longer duration (frames 8-17 → 5-17). It also connects more reliably against aerial opponents, and the last hit deals more knockback.
• Grounded Hand Slap has less startup (frame 15 → 12) and ending lag (FAF 57 → 47).

Kirby

• Neutral attack's first hit has less startup (frame 3 → 2), with its total duration reduced as well (FAF 16 → 15).
• Up smash's clean sourspot deals more knockback, better matching the sweetspots.
• Neutral aerial has less startup (frame 10 → 8), with its total duration reduced as well (FAF 55 → 53), and the clean hit deals more knockback, KOing under 150% from the center of Final Destination.
• Up aerial has less startup (frame 10 → 8), with its total duration reduced as well (FAF 38 → 36), and deals more damage (9% → 10%) and knockback, KOing under 160% from ground level.
• Inhale has less startup (frame 14 → 10), with its total duration reduced as well (FAF 68 → 64).

Jigglypuff

• Air dodge has less ending lag (FAF 75 → 64 (neutral), 123 → 107 (side), 175 → 159 (up), 103 → 86 (down)), no longer being laggier than every other air dodge in the game by a wide margin, although they are still the slowest.
• Down aerial has less landing lag (15 frames → 12) and auto-cancels earlier (frame 45 → 42), allowing it to autocancel in a short hop if buffered immediately.
• Forward throw launches at a lower angle, improving its edgeguarding ability.
• Rollout reaches its full charge faster (frame 60 → 54).
• Pound inflicts 2 additional frames of hitstun, and has increased shieldstun, improving its combo potential and shield pressuring ability.

King K. Rool

• Neutral aerial has less landing lag (frame 13 → 10).
• Forward aerial's sweetspot has more range, longer duration, and deals more damage (14% → 15.5%).
• Up aerial has a longer hitbox duration and the sweetspot deals more knockback.
• Blunderbuss:
  • The startup of Blunderbuss has been reduced (frame 30 → 25).

  • The higher launch power makes it harder, if not impossible to combo into a dash attack.
