• Hit 1 damage (8% → 11%) and knockback (10 (base), 132 (scaling) → 20/130), greatly improving its KO potential to the point of becoming stronger than the second hit, even with the second hit's significantly increased power.
  • However, this does prevent the move from leading into the second hit sooner.
• Hit 2 damage (10% → 13%). Its knockback scaling was not fully compensated (105 → 100), significantly improving its KO potential.
