An update:



As some of you may have noticed, there's much less for this patch as a whole. The majority of catalogued changes are mainly bugfixes, and many character Discords have reported no gameplay differences for a good chunk of the cast. It seems likely that the majority of the changes that are not known at this point are just bugfixes, if not all of them (alternatively, there may be changes to less competitively oriented features like final smashes or visuals that we're not aware of at this time).



Because a handful of these changes do affect gameplay (namely Pac-Man & Z-dropping out of hitstun), it is likely Nintendo just classified these as balance changes. We will still be attempting to figure out what has changed regarding fighters, but just be aware that it may be slower because some of these characters were not known to have major bugs or issues with their programming.



It's not terribly surprising given the recency of the patch compared to launch, but ultimately we're happy that this is more of a first run as we adjust back into doing these routine cycles (it's been some time since 1.1.6 Wii U!), and we look forward to working with you all in the future.
