• Forward Smash causes less knockback and is slower.
• Up Smash now causes with 2 hits.

Aerial Attacks

• Neutral and Forward Aerial now lock enemy more efficiently.
• Down Aerial's Meteor Smash causes stronger knockback, but also has more lag in all terms (starting, ending and landing).

Grabs and Throws

• Down Throw now causes a stronger, more vertical knockback, and no longer can be used for chain grabbing.

Special Attacks

• Blaster no longer cancels when used on midair upon landing. It also has more lag between consecutive shots.
