Smash Ultimate Patch Notes 11.0.0 - Side by Side Comparison

@Taelin Cusic Mainly because Ganon could successfully grab his opponent offstage, but if they stage teched, they would still win the interaction, which would probably end in Ganon dying. At least now Ganon has way more of a chance at actually recovering if he does indeed land an Up B offstage.

I can't believe they buffed Dedede's gordo of all things. I get that the character needed some help, but buffing his most degenerate move was definitely not the solution

[@Andre-od5hf]

I mean dedede sucks outside of his gordo (most of his moves are almost completely unuseable without it being used with the gordo as a cover). So i guess they could have helped some of his other worse moves yeah but still, atleast they are honing his strenght (and the gordo is what makes him unique compared to other heavy weights, other than his godlike recovery).

Boy do i love one note characters in smash they even went out their way to buff wii fit side b this game will forever cater to degenerates bad habits

[@ButterStick64]

3:55 That Min Min Nerf was definitely attempting to prevent that 0 to Death you can do at the ledge. Also one Mac buff💀

[@phantasm1234]

More Little Mac buffs would be greatly appreciated.

[@TheSonicFan4]

2:43 up special? You mean up smash? Or did you show the wrong footage?

[@spaghettiknight6100]

FYI, Dedede's Gordo went from a 50% to 60% chance of sticking on a wall.

•Pichu on release: did little damage to himself and had a very small hit box •Pichu after the big nerf wave a while back: Dealt more damage to itself and had larger ear hit boxes •Pichu after the latest patch: deals less damage to itself and now the ears are invincible during certain moves 🎵But of you close your eyes...🎵

They nerfed wario really badly in prep for adding Waluigi who will be broken in comparison

[@mango-gm5th]

I like your smash reviews, but these patch notes videos are unparalleled. Top quality stuff, keep it up!

[@whiffunderscore703]

It still surprises me that they nerfed most of the relevant top tiers except peach and pikachu. Kind of weird if ya ask me

[@MotivatedStudent2000]

Peach got heavily nerfed a long time ago, which was really unnecessary

[@Buddz-ky1sk]

@@MotivatedStudent2000 I would like to disagree. She had WAY TOO MANY combos available to say the least, so that patch made it so that only the beeg brain folk could get those combos, which is fair. She's basically supposed to be that character you see people play good and be like "I'm too impressed to be angry"

[@king_eziel]

BSD are in a tier of their own with patch notes coverage. Everyone else just reads it, as if we can't read, but they go as far as to SHOW IT. It's beautiful, I love it. Thank you Cfive & Vyq, THANK YOU!

[@Synoctic]

Palutena grab nerf is soo justified it finally makes sense now.

[@ODISeth]

Thank you BSD! Y’al always pull through explaining those patch notes

[@JeffUy287]

At least Samus is untouched. ZSS: But I.... Samus: He meant me.
