This is the list of known changes in version 1.0.8 of Super Smash Bros. 4. All claims on this page must be verifiable, preferably with a trustable source link, and must compare both the old and new states. Ensure that all changes are also listed on the respective pages.

Universal

  • Change Grounded to air ledge transition mechanics altered, affecting run offs and other momentum techniques; characters can no longer run off the edge of a platform while performing a special move.
  • Change The height at which a defender will land on a platform during a throw's animation overlapping a platform has been increased, reducing the ability for this interaction to happen. Notable on Ganondorf's Flame Choke (can no longer force this on Battlefield platforms against any character) and Mewtwo's Confusion.

Bowser

  • Nerf Up tilt deals 1% less damage: 10% → 9%.
  • Buff Up tilt's start-up and ending lag decreased: 12 frames → 11 (start-up), 51 frames → 41 (ending).

Technical changelist

Captain Falcon

  • Buff Non-angled and up-angled forward smash's knockback growths have been minimally increased, now KOing about 1-2% sooner.
  • Nerf Down-angled forward smash's knockback growth has been minimally decreased, KOing about 1-2% later.
  • Nerf Up aerial's knockback has been reduced while its sweetspot, sourspot and middle hitboxes all do less damage: 13%/12%/12%/10% → 11%/10%/10%/9%. This makes it a less reliable KOing option.
  • Buff Up aerial's reduced knockback allows it to combo up to higher percents.

Technical changelist

Charizard

  • Buff Neutral attack has been improved. Its hits connect together better and the first hit has increased weight-based knockback.
  • Buff Forward aerial's hitbox size and duration increased.
  • Buff Up throw's knockback increased, making it both the strongest up throw in the game and a viable KOing option.
  • Buff Down throw's knockback and ending lag decreased: 80 → 72, making it Charizard's best combo starter at low percents. Although it is less reliable as a KOing option, this is completely mitigated due to the same update's aforementioned buff of Charizard's up throw.

Technical changelist

Diddy Kong

  • Buff Jab improved. It transitions through to the second hit 2 frames faster, to the third hit 1 frame faster, and to the infinite portion 7 frames faster. The rapid hits additionally have reduced SDI capacity, and the final hit of the jab has increased reach, increased base knockback, and 4 less frames of ending lag.
    • Nerf The complete jab deals marginally less damage.
  • Nerf Down tilt's damage was reduced by 0.5% with decreased knockback, now only allowing him to combo into his KO moves from down tilt later, preventing him from securing KOs early.
  • Nerf Up aerial is worse: its startup was increased by 1 frame, it autocancels 12 frames later, and can no longer hit opponents below and horizontal to himself, lessening its usefulness for spacing attacks. Its base knockback was increased, making it more difficult to combo, while its knockback growth was decreased, weakening its KOing capabilities.
  • Nerf All of Diddy's grabs have 3 more frames of ending lag.
  • Nerf Up throw's damage was reduced (8% → 5%) and its knockback was increased, reducing its follow-up capabilities; reliable KO followups are no longer possible without the aid of platforms.
  • Buff Down throw damage increased: 6% → 7%.
  • Nerf Down throw has increased knockback growth and a very slightly more diagonal knockback trajectory, reducing its follow-up capabilities and removing all guaranteed follow ups around 135%. Despite its higher knockback growth, it still cannot KO at realistic percentages.

Technical changelist

Donkey Kong

  • Buff Cargo forward throw deals 2% more damage: 8% → 10%.
  • Buff Cargo back throw deals 4% more damage: 8% → 12%.
  • Change Cargo back throw's angle altered.
  • Buff Cargo back throw's knockback growth increased: 38 → 80.
  • Buff Cargo up throw deals 3% more damage: 7% → 10%.
  • Buff Cargo down throw deals 1% more damage: 6% → 7%.
  • Change Cargo down throw's animation has slightly changed. Donkey Kong now hops while performing it.

Falco

  • Buff Falco's air speed increased: 0.893 → 0.93.
  • Buff Falco's air acceleration increased: 0.07 → 0.09.
  • Buff Neutral attack has been improved. It locks opponents more reliably for all of its hits and all of its hitboxes' sizes have been slightly increased.
  • Buff Neutral aerial has been improved. Its hitboxes' sizes increased, its hits now properly keep opponents in place, and it always produces knockback towards the direction Falco faces, significantly improving its follow-up potential.
  • Nerf Neutral aerial deals 1% less damage: 12% → 11%.
  • Buff Forward aerial deals 1% more damage if all aerial hits connect: 5% → 6%.
  • Buff Forward aerial's start-up and landing lag decreased: 12 frames → 10 (start-up), 32 frames → 25 (landing).
  • Buff Forward aerial overall lag decreased: 58 frames → 50, giving it follow-up potential.
  • Nerf Forward aerial's landing hit deals 2% less damage: 5% → 3%.
  • Buff Up aerial's startup decreased: 10 frames → 7.
  • Buff Up aerial's hitboxes' sizes increased and deal more vertical knockback.
  • Change Up aerial's sourspot has been removed, now leaving it with a single hitbox that deals 1% less damage than the up aerial's previous sweetspot: 11% → 10%. While this means it is much more consistent in utility, it means it no longer has a hitbox that is extra powerful.
  • Buff Sweetspotted down aerial lasts 1 frame longer.
  • Buff Sourspotted down aerial's hitboxes' sizes increased.
  • Change Sweetspotted down aerial no longer meteor smashes grounded opponents. Instead, it now launches opponents at a slightly diagonally vertical trajectory. While this removes its follow-up potential at high percentages, it can no longer be teched by grounded opponents.
  • Nerf Falco Phantasm's start-up increased: frame 18 → 19.

Technical changelist

  • Buff Forward tilt's start-up decreased: 15 frames → 12.
  • Buff Up tilt's hitbox lasts longer and its vertical reach increased.
  • Buff Dash attack improved. It deals 4% more damage: 10% (sweet)/7% (sour)/5% (late) → 14%/11%/9%, it's overall range and knockback are increased, it launches opponents at a more horizontal angle, making it a reliable KOing option, and has 4 frames less of start-up: 18 frames → 15.
  • Buff Neutral (16 frames → 14), forward (20 → 18), up (18 → 15), and down aerial (26 → 23) all have less ending lag.

  • Buff Up smash's hits connect together better, with all three hits now connecting when the move lands and the first two hits now dragging the opponent toward Link instead of stunning them.
  • Buff Super Smash Bros. for Wii UClawshot now behaves like it does in the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS version.
