List of updates (SSB4)/1.1.4 changelog

This is the list of known changes in version 1.1.4 of Super Smash Bros. 4. This update became available on February 3rd, 2016.

Universal

• The "controller glitch" has been removed.
• A move's chance of tripping during low knockback has been changed (2-25% → 2-12%). This makes moves less likely to trip; for moves without an additional trip chance, the rate is about halved.

Additions

• Bayonetta and Corrin can be downloaded from the Nintendo eShop, with the new Mii Fighter costumes.
• Umbra Clock Tower is included with the purchase of Bayonetta.
• Castle Siege and Coliseum have two new music tracks included with Corrin.
• All invincibility frames from tripping have been standardized to 5 frames and all follow ups' invincibility frames have been standardized.

Bowser

• Dash attack deals more damage (10% (clean)/8% (late) → 12%/10%). Its knockback values were not compensated, giving the move more knockback.
• Up throw has higher knockback scaling (155 → 180), hindering its combo potential at high percentages.
  • However, this also improves its combo potential at lower percents, in addition to allowing Bowser’s up throw, up air combo to KO at lower percents.
• All variations of Flying Slam have increased grab range.
