This is a list of known changes in version 3.0.0 of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Universal[edit]
The new update brings new features on the general gameplay side:
 Perfect shields will no longer activate multiple times when the shield button is released once. This reduces its downtime, but makes multihit attacks harder to perfect shield, as each hit needs to be manually perfect shielded. Perfect shielding against a projectile has less ending lag. Dodges are more punishable when staled.- Stun Jacket has been removed.
- Created glitch where electric hitboxes have increased hitlag in training mode.
- Fireball deals less shield damage.
- Cape no longer puts opponents into hitstun during ledge return vulnerability.
- At the start of Mario Finale, nearby opponents will be slowed more, and for longer.
- Giant Punch has more range, no longer missing opponents up close.
- Charge Shot deals less shield damage.

- Up smash's clean hit has a longer duration, with the late hit having a shorter duration instead (frame 12 (strong)/13-14 (mid)/15-17 (late) → 12-14/15-16/17).
- Neutral aerial has less ending lag (FAF 63 → 55) and auto-cancels earlier (frame 56 → 51).
- The first 9 hits of down throw deal more damage (0.8% → 1%, total: 10.2% → 12%).
- Inhale
- Kirby dies later when performing a Kirbycide with Inhale, though he still dies first. This gives the opponent less time to recover after Kirby is KO'd.
- Kirby cannot lose Copy Abilities received by Inhale for a longer period of time (5 seconds → 10).
- Kirby is less likely to lose Copy Abilities when getting hit (Chance to lose: Damage Received/70 * 130% → Damage Received/70 * 100%).

- Visual glitch where Kirby would retain parts of Metal status with Wii Fit Trainer.
- Visual glitch where Kirby’s Bandana from Snake would move during the camera view of each frame.
- Opponents now properly gain intangibility when caught by Inhale; previously opponents would become stuck in a hitstun during Inhale.

- The animations for Peach's ledge attack and swinging animation have been adjusted.
- Toad no longer stalls continuously in the air after the first use.
