'''{{GameIcon|ssb4}} [[1.0.6]]'''
*{{buff|Grounded startup (frame 11 → 8) and total duration (FAF 86 → 82).}}
*{{buff|The grounded version has a new clean hit during its first two active frames which deals more damage on its near hits (12% → 14%). Its knockback values were not compensated, considerably improving its KO potential.}}
**{{buff|After the new early hit, the early mid hit deals significantly more damage on the near hits compared to the old mid hit (9% → 12%). The late mid hit starts two frames later than the old mid hit and hits equally as hard as the old mid hit.}}
*{{buff|Far hit X position (6.6 → 7), giving it more range.}}

'''{{GameIcon|ssb4}} [[1.0.8]]'''
*{{buff|Grounded Knockback scaling (84 (clean)/80 (early mid)/80 (late mid) → 85/85/82).}}

'''{{GameIcon|ssb4}} [[1.1.0]]'''
*{{buff|Grounded clean hitboxes X/Y/Z offsets (4.3/1/-2 (middle), 7/1/-2 (far)→ (2.6/0.5/0.8)/(6.5/0/2.5)). This gives the move more horizontal range.}}
