Update History

9.0.0

• Up smash's first two hits have different angles (105° → 107°) and lower set knockback (39 → 28) on their ground-only hitboxes, and all hitboxes have gained a hitstun modifier of 3. This allows the move to connect more reliably, especially against opponents on platforms above Link.
