This is the list of known changes in version 1.0.4 of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. 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.

- It also does eight hits, down from ten.
Charizard
- Dragon Rush (Side-B Custom 3) now does 11% damage instead of 15%.
