[L~A]

It was announced last week, but here it is: new update for Super Smash Bros. on 3DS is available. As usual, you can download it from the Nintendo eShop (I didn't get a prompt, I had to search manually).

With this update, games is now in ver. 1.0.4. Still waiting for official changelog. eShop does mention some fixes and character balancing. Update requires 859 blocks (EU) / 658 (NA)

Warning: replays recorded with ver. 1.0.3 or earlier won't work with ver. 1.0.4! Update is required if you wanna play multiplayer, online or even locally.

Adjustments will be made to balance the game.
Other adjustments will be made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.

A user on Reddit is making a list of all changes.

 

[Moonlight]

Shiiit. Hope they'll actually explain stuff.

 

[WonderzL]

Still no changelog? shit

 

[random25]

Dunno how I can save my awesome replays, guess I got to refrain from getting online first and video record my best games.

Hoping for a detailed change log, Nintendo

 

[Falawful]

The end of Rosalina's tyranny.

Or something.

 

[L~A]

Shiiit. Hope they'll actually explain stuff.

I doubt it. Nintendo eShop page doesn't mention anything. Downloading the patch to see if there's anything in-game.

By the way, update requires 859 blocks of free space.

 

[Zeyphersan]

That's a big update

 

[Wheresmycoffee]

859 blocks!?! I was only barely able to clear out enough space for the last patch!

 

[kuroneko0509]

Time to F5-ing this page non-stop

 

[L~A]

Pretty sure patch includes 1.0.1; 1.0.2 and 1.0.3.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

658 block required in NA.

 

[Razzle Dazzle]

Hoping for some improved Pikmin AI!

 

[FatalT]

Very cool! It isn't auto-prompting me either but it's definitely searchable on the e-shop. Downloading now! Thank you for the heads up!

Pretty sure that's because maintenance for Smash Bros. 3DS isn't over yet. Also why there's no message in-game yet.

Official websites haven't been update yet either.

 

[dragonlife]

Fuck. Why isn't there an easy way to save replays? Nintendo, please.

We should be able to transfer replays to our PCs as video files, dammit.

 

[AzVal]

downloaded but dont know what to test

Probably why we don't have a pic of the day yet, too.

 

[foxuzamaki]

infamous game balance patch, surprised they didnt wait til friday

 

[Majine]

658 block required in NA.

Why did they feel the need to invent a goddamn memory unit?

Does Mega- and Gigabyte sound too nerdy?

 

[Masked Man]

The JP site hasn't even acknowledged the release yet (still says "will release by the end of the month"). Still hoping this patch will kick Rosaluma and ZSS off the throne. ;P

 

[Muzy72]

Crossing my fingers for proper patch notes

 

[_Ace_]

I guess that's because replays are not videos but input records.

 

[eRonin]

Kill Luma and check how long it takes to respawn. It's thought that based on 3DS and Wii U differences, there was a 5-second nerf to the respawn time.

 

[AzVal]

has anyone else applied it i downloaded it but still shows 1.0.3 in game

At least you can rest assured Little Mac likely isn't touched saved for buffs based on Sakurai's acknowledgement of him being the worst-performing character online (apparently)

 

[Blizzard]

The end of Rosalina's tyranny.

Or something.

Did she ever even win a tournament? Plenty of other fighters had their #1 spot, even briefly. The queen is gone before we ever knew her! ;_;

 

[dragonlife]

I guess that's because replays are not videos but input records.

Well, yeah.

But we should have options. At least it'll be easier on Wii U with streaming hardware/software.

I have some really cool replays I don't want to lose

 

[Dryk]

I'm not holding out much hope. But I do hate it when balance changes aren't documented, it's a huge waste of everyone's time.

She won the first US Nationals I think.

Unless they get rid of Wario's grab release (less severe) or roll-cancel grabs (more severe). Either of those would be nerfs that I could easily see them doing.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

My Luma died at 0:50~ and came back at 0:37~

 

[random25]

Give Megaman extended lemon range (coast-to-coast) and we're good!

 

[kuroneko0509]

blocks aren't their invention :^)

 

[Blizzard]

She won the first US Nationals I think.

Yay if so! I didn't watch that one.

 

[eRonin]

She won the first US Nationals I think.

The finals was a Rosalina mirror match, won by Dabuz (a legit good Smash player though)

 

[FSLink]

Lightweight indefinite glitch on platforms still works with Palutena.

Can't seem to do turnip ledge cancel with Peach anymore so unless I'm just screwing up the input tonight, this is confirmed.

Double PK thunder 2 for recover with Ness still works. :3

 

[Blizzard]

Double yay!

What's the lightweight indefinite platform glitch with Palutena?

 

[_Ace_]

Yeah I'm with you. I have some cool replays as well but I can't do much.

I may have to record them with my smartphone.

 

[FSLink]

Double yay!

What's the lightweight indefinite platform glitch with Palutena?

On say, Battlefield's platforms,if you press downB but delay the B she can cancel the dropping animation with Lightweight. This lets her use it again even during cooldown.

I can only hope so! D:

Yay for Lightweight still working! Bummer about the turnip ledge cancel, though.

 

[Fandangox]

SOMEONE TEST FALCON'S DASH GRAB AND ALL OF SHULK RIGHT NOW

 

[L~A]

Japanese website updated... no changelog, as expected.

 

[AnkiRendan]

Rest in peace, bomb throw cancel. It's gone ;.;

 

[FSLink]

Useless but since it's done the same way as the Lightweight glitch, Peach's turnip farm still works too.

Luma nerf confirmed. Takes 13 seconds instead of 8.

Pikachu side B 2 (Heavy Skull Bash) still has the silly momentum thing where if you get launched far and mash sideB and suddenly his recovery is god like.

Expected but the Yoshi glitch in Multi Man Smash was fixed. This was what it was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pss1GQ5qrjM

AI Yoshi doesn't grow big anymore.

 

[Razzle Dazzle]

Olimars down throw into down smash bug was removed. Also is it just me or does the range seem... longer? Can anyone confirm this?

As far as his AI goes seems kinda junky still.

 

[Vylash]

patch notes: Little Mac removed

 

[Dryk]

Japanese website updated... no changelog, as expected

The community will reproduce them out in short order, but it's lame that Nintendo won't release them.

 

[Kyzon]

Might be wrong but I think Zelda's teleport knockback was scaled down

Edit: maybe not

 

[illmatic22]

Damn, sucks what they did to replays :/

 

[Jrs3000]

If you have the patch you can get back online now.
