• Pummel now has transcendent priority.
• Pikmin can no longer be seen immediately when plucked out of the ground (frame 1 → 2).
• Order tackle can no longer be reflected when the Pikmin return to Olimar.
  • As a result, this fixed a glitch where reflecting Order Tackle would give the Pikmin a permanent power boost.
    • This hinders Order Tackle's utility in doubles, as Olimar can no longer attach Pikmin to a Fox holding out a Reflector, return the Pikmin and have the Pikmin deal over 999% damage and OHKO opponents when used as an attack.

Rosalina & Luma

• Luma's health points decreased: 52 HP → 47.

• Sweetspotted forward tilt deals 1% more damage: 7%/8% → 8%/9% and its knockback increased. This makes it capable of KOing middleweight characters around 180% at the edge.
• Forward tilt has received a sourspot on the middle part of Samus' leg. This results in it dealing little to no hitstun and 1% less damage: 6%/7% → 5%/6%.
• Forward tilt can no longer lead into Charge Shot tech-chases due to the aforementioned sweetspot's increased knockback and added sourspot.
• Super Missile's speed increased (however, the increase is rather negligible).

• Back aerial's damage and knockback significantly decreased: 11/10% → 8/7%
• Down tilt damage: 7.5% → 5%

• Forward smash's range decreased.
• Upward angled forward tilt's start-up lag decreased.
