==NTSC-J to NTSC-U changes==

===Gameplay===

*The distance traveled by [[Smash DI]] is 40% longer, allowing the defender to get out of combos much easier and making it so multi-hitting attacks are less reliable.

*All attacks have 1 extra frame of [[hitlag]]. The exact formula was changed from <code>&lfloor;&lfloor;&lfloor;d/3 + 4&rfloor; * e&rfloor; * c&rfloor;</code> to <code>&lfloor;&lfloor;&lfloor;d/3 + 5&rfloor; * e&rfloor; * c&rfloor;</code>

*The [[momentum slide]] has been removed for all characters.

*[[Beam Sword]] given an altered sound to sound less like a [[wikipedia:lightsaber|lightsaber]], presumably to prevent copyright infringement.

*[[Title screen]] changed from 'Dairantou Smash Brothers' to "Super Smash Bros." and has a brighter logo.

*The punch and kick sound effects are completely different. The Japanese version has more violent hitting sounds, while the US/PAL versions have Bowling ball-like hitting sounds. Other hit sounds effects such as the "Slash" and [[Ping]] sound effects remain unchanged, although some moves had their hit sound effects changed.

*Stage Select screen has a rough English translation for stage names placed over the series icon in the Japanese version, this was removed in the US version.

*{{buff|Captain Falcon [[run]]s faster (70 → 75).}}

*{{nerf|Captain Falcon keeps less horizontal momentum from a grounded jump (0.35 → 0.31).}}

*{{nerf|[[Falcon Dive]] covers less distance.}}

*{{buff|Clean back aerial has increased base knockback (0 → 10).}}

*{{buff|Down aerial deals more knockback (10 (base), 80 (scaling) → 15/90).}}

*{{buff|[[Spinning Kong]] has more vertical lift (676.32 → 809.72).}}

*{{buff|Down tilt deals 2% more damage (10% → 12%) and has increased base knockback (0 → 25).}}

*{{buff|[[Reflector (Fox)|Reflector]] has an increased reflection multiplier (1.5x → 1.8x).}}

*{{change|Jigglypuff has all new voice clips due to its name change from "Purin" to "Jigglypuff".}}

*{{nerf|Link walks slightly slower (0.4 → 0.37).}}

*{{nerf|Link's [[gravity]] is higher (3.2 → 3.4). While this does improve his vertical endurance and his ability to land, it also makes him more susceptible to combos and more notably, it reduces the height of his jumps and his Spin Attack, hindering his recovery.}}

*{{nerf|Up tilt has smaller hitboxes (120u/90u → 100u/80u) and the far hitbox has been moved closer to Link (z offset: 260 → 240).}}

*{{change|Luigi is bigger (1.0x → 1.12x). This improves his range but makes him easier to hit.}}

*{{buff|Luigi's head hurtbox dimensions are marginally smaller ({155,200,150} → {155,160,150}).}}

*{{buff|Super Jump Punch covers more distance due to Luigi's larger size.}}

*{{change|Mario is bigger (1.0x → 1.12x). This improves his range but makes him easier to hit.}}

*{{buff|Mario's head hurtbox dimensions are marginally smaller ({148,160,138} → {148,140,138}).}}

*{{buff|Rolls travel farther.}}
