• Up smash has less knockback scaling (86/79/82 (red clean near/clean far/late)/94/86/90 (yellow/blue/white clean near/clean far/late)/84/77/81(purple clean near/clean far/late) → 83/74/78 (R)/91/81/85 (YBW)/81/72/76 (P)).

• Pummel now has transcendent priority.
• Pikmin can no longer be seen immediately when plucked out of the ground (frame 1 → 2).
• Order tackle can no longer be reflected when the Pikmin return to Olimar.
  • As a result, this fixed a glitch where reflecting Order Tackle would give the Pikmin a permanent power boost.
    • This hinders Order Tackle's utility in doubles, as Olimar can no longer attach Pikmin to a Fox holding out a Reflector, return the Pikmin and have the Pikmin deal over 999% damage and OHKO opponents when used as an attack.

• No longer clips through sloped terrain while using ledge attack as someone else grabs the ledge.

R.O.B.

• Tomes no longer disappear when landing on platforms.
• Fixed a glitch where female Robin's Levin Sword would not repeatedly flash to indicate that it was about to break.

Rosalina & Luma

• Luma's health points decreased: 52 HP → 47.

Samus

• Sweetspotted forward tilt deals 1% more damage: 7%/8% → 8%/9% and its knockback increased. This makes it capable of KOing middleweight characters around 180% at the edge.
• Forward tilt has received a sourspot on the middle part of Samus' leg. This results in it dealing little to no hitstun and 1% less damage: 6%/7% → 5%/6%.
• Forward tilt can no longer lead into Charge Shot tech-chases due to the aforementioned sweetspot's increased knockback and added sourspot.
• Super Missile's speed increased (however, the increase is rather negligible).

• Back aerial's damage and knockback significantly decreased: 11/10% → 8/7%
• Down tilt damage: 7.5% → 5%

• Spin Dash's rolling and jumping hitboxes deal 3% less damage: 10% → 7% (rolling), 6% → 3% (jumping). This results in a full Spin Dash combo dealing 6% less damage overall.
• Burning Spin Dash's invincibility decreased.
• Spring Jump can no longer be Pocketed.

Toon Link

• Hero's Shield now reliably blocks the lasers from Fox and Falco's Blasters.

• Part of forward smash has been made irreversible.
• Forward smash's range decreased.
• Upward angled forward tilt's start-up lag decreased.
