Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Version 13.0.1 patch notes released
Update: The full list of patch notes have been added to the story below.
As Nintendo previously announced, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would be receiving one final round of fighter adjustments via a new update, and that time happens to be now.
The Version 13.0.1 update for Smash Ultimate is now available, and the patch notes have been released.
There are 22 characters included in these balance adjustments with Sora, Pyra & Mythra, Steve, Min Min, Piranha Plant, Ridley, Inkling, Cloud, Ryu, Bowser Jr., Robin, Rosalina & Luma, Mega Man, Ike, Wario, Meta Knight, Mewtwo, Falco, Ice Climbers, Peach/Daisy, Link, and Donkey Kong.
There's quite a few buffs given out this time around with Mega Man, Ryu, Inkling, and Piranha Plant's looking nice on paper though we'll need to see how they play out.
In terms of nerfs, Min Min and Pyra/Mythra appear to be the hardest and pretty much only ones hit, which isn't too surprising given some of their tournament results and general tier placements.
While Nintendo has confirmed this update is indeed the final one with fighter adjustments, they've now stated more patches may come in the future if needed to fix potential bugs.
