**{{buff|Mid forward smash deals 1% more damage (17% → 18%) and more knockback (50 (base), 70 (scaling) → 60/75), improving its KO potential. The late hit has higher knockback scaling (60 → 102) and its angle was altered (70° → 45°), significantly improving its KO potential despite dealing less damage (14% → 12%). It also has decreased ending lag (FAF 50 → 49).}}

**{{buff|Clean up smash deals more knockback (40 (base), 90 (scaling) → 50/89), improving its KO potential. Late up smash also has significantly increased base knockback (5 → 55) and its angle has been altered (40° → 80°), granting it combo potential at medium percents while also drastically increasing its KO ability.}}

*[[Down smash]]:
**{{buff|The weakening of [[Smash directional influence|SDI]] makes down smash significantly more difficult to escape from combined with their lower SDI multiplier (1.2x → 0.8x). The 19% damage increase to [[shield]]s and the increase to [[shieldstun]] also significantly improve its shield pressuring potential.}}

**{{nerf|Due to consisting of six hits instead of seven, down smash deals 2% less damage (15% → 13%), and the final hit has less base knockback (70 → 55) and launches opponents at a lower angle (70° → 50°), hindering its KO potential and removing its ability to lead into {{b|Thunder|Pokémon}}. It also has increased startup lag (frame 6 → 8), more ending lag (FAF 55 → 66), and less range (5.76u (loop hits)/12u (final hit) → 4u/10u).}}
