  • Buff Neutral attack has received several changes to connect more reliably:
    • Buff Both hits have higher hitstun modifiers (2 → 7 (hit 1), 2/0 → 2/11 (hit 2)).
    • Buff The first hit has larger hitboxes (2.5u/2.5u/2.5u → 2.5u/3u/3u/3u), with an additional hitbox that launches opponents towards Villager like the previous farthest hitbox. Both of these hitboxes cover different spots in the Z-axis (X offset: 0u → -1.5u—1.5u), making them less likely to miss opponents during certain animations.
    • Buff The first hit uses extended hitboxes, with the closest one stretching horizontally (Z offset: 6.5u → 6.5u—7.5u) and the rest stretching vertically (Y offset: 5.5u → 5.5u—4.5u), improving its range.

    • Buff The tipper consists of two hitboxes instead of one, which cover a wider area (Y offset: 0u → -0.4u/0.4u, Z offset: 0u → 0.4u/-0.4u), making it less likely to whiff due to the z-axis.
  • Buff Forward aerial deals more damage (7.5% → 9%), with knockback scaling compensated (99 → 87).
  • Buff Back aerial's clean hit deals more damage (11% → 12%) with no compensation on knockback, improving its KO potential.

    • Buff The first hit uses set knockback (100/90 base/10 scaling → 145/100 set/100 scaling), and launches grounded opponents at an angle more towards Bayonetta (123° → 125°), allowing it to connect more reliably into the second hit.
    • Buff The second hit has an additional hitbox that is placed lower (Y offset: 25.5u → 20u) and extends farther horizontally compared to the existing one (Z offset: -1u—1u → -3u—3u), increasing its range.
  • Buff Forward smash has more base knockback (26 → 34/35) and a longer hitbox duration (frames 17-19 → 17-21).

Inkling[edit]

The change in Inkling’s Pummel.
  • Buff Pummel has a larger hitbox (4u → 4.8u) that is placed further vertically (Y offset: 4u → 5.2u) and horizontally (Z offset: 5.5u → 6.5u), allowing it to connect more consistently.

Ridley[edit]

  • Skewer:
    • Buff The sweetspot hitbox deals more damage (40% → 45%).
    • Nerf The sweetspot no longer triggers a Special Zoom nor crumples opponents with grab immunity, effectively making the move a hit grab. This significantly worsens a hard read into the move from Ridley's down throw at low percents, which is now unsafe on hit, and removes the infamous Skewer bury infinite in doubles matches.

King K. Rool[edit]

The change in King K. Rool’s Pummel.
  • Buff Belly Super Armor has more durability (14.01 HP → 18.01 HP), allowing it to withstand stronger attacks such as Falcon Punch from full durability, and improving its overall reliability. Considering the armor splitting damage between itself and King K. Rool, it's got effectively 36.02 HP.
