List of updates (SSBU)/2.0.0 changelog

This is a list of known changes in version 2.0.0 of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Stages

• Fixed the UI and name-tags remaining mirrored in Training Mode after one of Palkia's attack, Spacial Rend, ended in Spear Pillar.

Mario

• Dash attack launches at a lower angle (60° (clean)/58° (late) → 50°/48°), improving its ability to setup edgeguards.
• Mario Finale's Final Smash Meter version has a higher knockback multiplier (0.9× → 0.91×).

Donkey Kong

• Forward aerial autocancels earlier (frame 63 → 56), matching the move's interruptibility.

Link

• Up aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 47 → 43).
• Arrows from Bow and Arrows travel a longer distance (40 frames → 46).

Samus

• Missiles follow the Pokémon Trainer's new Pokémon if they switch after the missile was fired.
• Missile has more range.
• Aerial Missile has slightly more ending lag (FAF 60 → 62), no longer being less laggy than Dark Samus's version.
• Bomb has less endlag when used on the ground (FAF 49 → 47).

Dark Samus

• Missiles follow the Pokémon Trainer's new Pokémon if they switch after the missile was fired.
• Missile has more range.
• Bomb has less endlag when used on the ground (FAF 49 → 47).

Yoshi

• Shortened the amount of time the player is unable to grab a ledge after using forward aerial (71 frames → 68).
• Yoshi is now granted grab invincibility during his grab release and throw animations.

Kirby

• Kirby's Dash attack has greater range and all hitboxes deal 2% more damage (10%/7%/4% → 12%/9%/6%), with knockback not fully compensated.
• Forward tilt has increased base knockback (12 → 40) and reduced ending lag (frame 28 → 24). This improves its safety as a spacing tool, and even allows it to KO at higher percents.
• Stone now has damage-based armor starting on frame 19 when used in the air. This makes the move harder to intercept.

Pikachu

• Pummel deals less hitlag (14 frames → 12), shortening its duration.

Luigi

• Up smash has more knockback scaling (98 → 102).
• Down aerial's clean hit no longer affects grounded opponents. As a result, it has more startup against them (frame 10 → 11) and can no longer meteor smash them, greatly hindering its combo potential.
• Standing and pivot grabs have longer durations (frames 14-19 → 14-20 (standing)/17-22 → 17-23 (pivot)), and increases their range as a result.
• Green Missile has less ending lag (FAF 95(grounded)/81(aerial) → 94/80).
• Luigi Cyclone deals more knockback (80 (base)/130/120 (scaling) → 85/140/130).

Ness

• Up aerial autocancels earlier (frame 45 → 34), matching the move's interruptibility.
• Down aerial deals more damage (12%/10% → 14%/12%) with its knockback scaling compensated (84/86 (clean/late) → 74).

Jigglypuff

• Forward tilt has less ending lag (FAF 28 → 25).
• Down tilt has more knockback scaling (55 → 68).
• Up smash's sourspot deals more damage, now doing the same damage as the whole move (13% → 15%).
• Back aerial has less start-up (frame 12 → 10).
  • The ending lag has also been decreased (FAF 40 → 38) and it autocancels earlier (frame 28 → 26).
• Forward throw launch angle altered (55° → 50°), now sending people into a more desirable angle for edge guarding.
• The Final Smash Meter version of Puff Up has a higher knockback multiplier (x0.815 → x0.92).

Peach

• Peach Parasol's multi hits have reduced knockback (FKB: 180/160 → 160/130 (hit 1), 90 → 80/70 (hits 2-5)).
  • This makes it less likely for the move to KO at 0%.
  • Consecutive hits will connect better in some scenarios.
• It is now easier to grab ledges with Peach Parasol.
• Peach Blossom's camera has been adjusted. The borders will now always display correctly in scrolling stages.

Daisy

• Daisy Parasol's multi hits have reduced knockback (FKB: 180/160 → 160/130 (hit 1), 90 → 80/70 (hits 2-5)).
  • This makes it less likely for the move to KO at 0%.
  • Consecutive hits will connect better in some scenarios.
• It is now easier to grab ledges with Daisy Parasol.
• Daisy Blossom's camera has been adjusted. The borders will now always display correctly in scrolling stages.

Bowser

• Forward tilt deals more damage (12% → 13%).
• Down smash deals more knockback.
• Whirling Fortress now connects better.
• Giga Bowser Punch now launches crouching opponents the same as standing opponents.

Ice Climbers

• The partner Ice Climber's AI has been improved: the partner will now follow the main climber better.
  • This makes desyncs even harder to perform.
• The ledgegrab-box for Belay has been increased (X offset: 0u → -1u).
• Fixed a bug that allowed the partner climber to survive after the leader runs out of stocks.

Sheik

• Up smash's first hit has more range (6u → 6.1u).
• Down smash connects more reliably against aerial opponents (angle: 140° → 200°).

Pichu

• Pummel deals less hitlag (15 frames → 14), shortening its duration.

• Down aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 55 → 52), matching the move's interruptibility.

Chrom

• Soaring Slash's meteor smash hitbox has reduced knockback (FKB 160 → 150), and Chrom's falling speed is increased 15 frames into the descent (-6 → -7.5). This makes the move more likely to KO Chrom first when used in a sacrificial KO, limiting its ability to secure wins in a last-stock scenario.
  • Additionally, the descent will now sometimes fail to connect into the landing hit when used out of a jump, due to Chrom descending much faster than the opponent.
• Down aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 55 → 52), matching the move's interruptibility.

Mr. Game & Watch

• Forward aerial's explosion hitbox has increased range, matching the visual explosion more closely and allowing the move to catch opponents from below the ledge. This improves its edgeguarding potential.
• Down aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 51 → 49), matching the move's interruptibility and allowing the move to auto-cancel after a full hop + Fire.
• Up Aerial's location reassignment glitch has been removed.

• Down Taunt's air puff now correctly vanishes and reappears when interrupted.

Pit

• Lightning Chariot will launch crouching opponents the same as standing opponents.

Zero Suit Samus

• Forward smash now has a sourspot at close range that has less knockback scaling (109 → 97).
