Hitbox visualization showing Ridley's down special, Skewer.

Update history

8.0.0

• The tipper hitbox deals more damage (40% → 45%).
• The tipper no longer triggers a Special Zoom nor crumples opponents with grab immunity. This significantly worsens a hard read into the move from Ridley's down throw at low percents, which is now unsafe on hit, and removes the infamous Skewer bury infinite in doubles matches.
