List of updates (SSB4)/1.1.3 changelog

This is the list of known changes in version 1.1.3 of Super Smash Bros. 4. This update became available on December 15th, 2015.

Stages

• Walls present on the Ω form of Kalos Pokémon League can be wall jumped on.
• The lighting on the Ω form of Gamer is brighter.

Additions

• Cloud can be downloaded from the Nintendo eShop, with the new Mii Fighter costumes.
• Midgar is included with the purchase of Cloud.

Bowser

• Up throw has less ending lag (FAF 69 → 64).
• Up throw deals less damage (1% (hits 1-7)/10% (total) → 0.5%/6.5%).
• Up throw's first seven hits have a lower hitlag multiplier (1x → 0.5x). This makes the throw faster to execute although it still remains extremely easy to react to/DI.
• Up throw's final hit deals more knockback (0 (base), 100 (scaling) → 80/200), making it more potent against bystanders.
• Up throw launches opponents at a lower angle (70° → 82°) and it has more base knockback but less knockback scaling (90 (base), 80 (scaling) → 25/155). When combined with its lower ending lag, these changes not only improve up throw's KO potential but they also transform up throw into a highly potent combo throw, granting it combo potential right up until higher percents, including KO confirms into up and back aerial.
• Flying Slam's grab to slam transition is considerably faster (38 frames → 25), now only being a few frames slower than its Brawl counterpart.
  • However, the slam to grab transition has less intangibility (frames 1-23 → 1-16), as the intangibility frames were not adjusted for the move's new frame speed multiplier.
• Bowser has more control over Flying Slam's trajectory (base air acceleration: 0.18 → 0.21).
• The opponent has more control over Flying Slam's trajectory (base air acceleration: 0.17 → 0.19).
  • However, this does not fully compensate for Bowser's greater air acceleration, giving him more control overall.
• All variations of Flying Slam now have invincibility frames before Bowser leaves the ground.
• All variations of Whirling Fortress can now grab ledges from behind drastically sooner (frame 48 (Whirling Fortress) → 8), now matching grabbing ledges from the front.

Charizard

• Dash attack has less ending lag (FAF 45 → 40).
• Dash attack launches opponents at a lower angle: 70°/80° (near/far) → 50° (near clean)/60° (near late/far clean)/75° (far late)).
• Up smash has received several minor tweaks.
• Down smashhas higher knockback scaling (76 (far)/82 (near) → 79/85), improving its KO potential.

Dark Pit

• Electroshock/Electrocut Arm launch opponents at a significantly lower angle (50° → 43°), significantly improving their KO potential unless they are used extremely close to the upper blast zone.
• Grounded Electroshock Arm damage deals more damage (11.5% → 12%) and knockback (100 (base), 60 (scaling) → 99/67). When combined with its lower launch angle, this greatly improves its KO potential, especially from further distances from the blast zone.
  • The higher knockback values also apply to Electrocut Arm.
• Aerial Electroshock/Electrocut Arm have lower knockback scaling (60 → 58).
  • While this does give them lower knockback, their lower launch angle means that they KO noticeably earlier in a majority of cases despite this.

Ganondorf

• Ganondorf is slightly heavier: 112 → 113.
• Neutral aerial's first kick has drastically reduced knockback that allows it combo into the second hit more effectively similar to Captain Falcon's, has a new hitbox on his foot that deals high knockback for spacing properties, transitions three frames faster, has 3 frames less ending lag, and deals 2% more damage on the both the clean and late hitboxes on the second kick.
• The drastically reduced knockback on neutral aerial's first hit makes the move less safe on hit and on landing and less effective as a spacer unless hitting with the foot, while completely removing its KOing capabilities. It also deals less damage on the clean and late hitbox, and less total damage.
• Neutral, forward, back and up aerials all have 1 frame less landing lag.
• Down aerial has 2 frames less landing lag, and the hitbox is shifted down two units, giving it more range below him as well as making it easier to land the sourspot.
• Down smash's second kick now sends shielding opponents at a different angle, now pushing opponents away rather than towards him.
• Down smash now flips opponents.
• Warlock Punch and Warlock Blade have increased super armor frames and have added armor when ground reversed.
• Grounded Flame Choke grabbox modified so it no longer misses grounded opponents.
• Dark Dive improved. The multi-hits deal 0.2% more damage, the final hit deals 2% more damage, and has slightly increased knockback growth.

• Down aerial no longer meteor smashes grounded opponents.
• Down aerial has a new early hitbox designed to hit only grounded opponents; it deals less knockback (25 base/40 growth) and launches at an angle of 55° instead of meteor smashing. This allows Link to hit foes a second time with the attack right after bouncing off them, dealing a massive amount of damage (26% if both hits connect), which works until they reach about 60% damage.

Mii Gunner

• The second hit now uses a forward launching angle (130° → 50°), but it now uses a backwards angle flipper (3 → 4). This means that the opponent is still sent behind Mii Gunner at the same angle, but they are now facing Mii Gunner, rather than away from them.
  • Because of this, the second hit now pushes shielding opponents away from Mii Gunner rather than dragging them towards them, making the move safer.
  • However, this also makes it easier for the opponent to recover.
• Absorbing Vortex heals half damage from absorbing teammates' projectiles.

Mr. Game & Watch

Ness

• PSI Magnet heals halved damage from absorbing teammates' projectiles.
