Super Smash Bros. got its first release in October with Sora. Ultimate roster was finally complete, and now, the game’s balance tuning is also complete after a new update that’s now live. 

Erste reported by KotakuNintendo announced on TwitterThe latest Ultimate balance update Ver. 13.0.1 has been distributed and will be “the last update related to the balance adjustments of the game.” However, Nintendo said that other updates might happen to fix problems related to Ultimate. Masahiro Sakura, Director of Ultimate, also used the update to express his gratitude to all involved. 

“Balance adjustment is now complete,” Sakurai writes on Twitter. “Thank you to everyone involved in the coordination. The fighters used in the top-ranked battles and the average online win rate are all different, so I think this is a generally desirable distribution.” 

The actual update features nearly 60 changes to character moves, spanning 24 different fighters. The update includes damage increase, speed boosts and animation length changes. Check out the complete update patch notes. As stated by Kotaku, there are quite a handful of buffs – more buffs than nerfs, even – so many of your favorite fighters are probably feeling a touch stronger than usual.
