It’s been a long ride for Smash Ultimate<\/a> fans since the game released in December 2018. Three years of DLC, amazing tournaments, and of course, controversial balance changes, all leading to the final patch released this 1st December. <\/p>\n

While Nintendo has confirmed this is the last balance patch, should a bug be discovered in the near future, they are committed to working on hotfixes as it’s required. <\/p>\n

As for who got nerfed, there are a few notable names. Pyra\/Mythra, one of the best characters in the game according to a large portion of the community, was hit with a couple. Pyra’s Side-B received more vulnerability, and Mythra’s forward Smash getting reduced knockback. <\/p>\n

Min Min also recieved some much deserved nerfs, depending on who you ask, as her nair got more end lag and a lower Dragon Beam duration on her f-smash.<\/p>\n
