Spoiler: Waluigi WAA!



Waluigi joins Brawl Minus as the first newcomer into the series! Scream at, Breakdance on, and swing your tennis racket all over your foes as Luigi's self-proclaimed rival! Waluigi has plenty of jump height, but not as much horizontal movement. His Down Special is also a mixed bag of moves, so be sure to utilize all of the many tricks this cheater has up his sleeve! Or you can rely on the classic WAA!, which you can charge to maximum power!



A special thanks to MarioKing64DS for giving us permission to Minusify this character

Spoiler: Mewtwo Mewtwo Strikes Back!



Once again take control of the legendary psychic pokemon and see how he takes over the world of Brawl Minus! Shadow Ball now hits through opponents, but perhaps the most terrifying change is his Teleport, which can now not only be cancelled into attacks, but used twice in the air! And if you think you can escape your fate, THINK AGAIN! Mewtwo has foreseen this with his new Down Special, Future Sight, and will catch you in its trap, allowing him to come in for the kill! The era of Mewtwo has just begun!



A special thanks to Starwaffle and Pik for the models and the former PMDT for the animations

Can now grab edge during charge animation.

Can now grab the edge during the "moving" animation, instead of just the end



Reflector

SFX changed to be identical to Melee's

blipblipblipblipblipblip

Spoiler: Mr. Game and Watch 4 new recolors added!



Fair

Auto Cancel Added at interrupt



Up-B

Landing lag reduced when landing perfectly on a platform



Judge

Endlag 8 -> 15

Cooldown 25 -> 20

This change was made to reduce judgespam while also not making the move's cooldown too too long.



Dash Attack

No longer stage spikes opponents grabbing the ledge

Spoiler: Ganondorf Gandouken

- reverted to 3.Q

eruption

Charging in the air now behaves the same as charging on the ground



Aether

Ledge grab limit reduced from 5-3

No longer has Super Armor

Can no longer heal Ike to below 0% if Ike has between 1-3% damage

Spoiler: Kirby 4 recolors added!



Fthrow

kbg increased by 5 to prevent ease of chain grabbing.



Burning

No longer stage spikes opponents



Final Cutter

Removed all cancels other than Wall jump and ledge grab.

A lot of the cancels had lead into infinite recoveries due to how quick most of his aerials and dodges are, so we couldn't keep this function in any longer. Wall Jump and ledge grab however are harmless and thus were kept.



Copy Abilities

Marth- added lingering hitbox after initial thrust with slightly more shield damage than Marth's.



Final Smash

Fixed a bug where Kirby would enter an endless loop VS. Ice Climbers

Spoiler: Bowser 4 recolors added!



fSmash

Explosion GFX readded



Royal Rampage

Royal Rampage immediately enters endlag when walking offstage.

While this does aid Bowser players in small ways, this was primarily done to make his AI a bit less of a joke, since it thinks it's using Fire Breath.

Spoiler: Link Item Throw Power reduced from 1.5 to 1.25

This allowed us to nerf both the power of his bombs and his Deku Nuts without touching the items directly

Spoiler: Lucario All alt colors reworked



gravity increased 0.0625 -> 0.0665

Removed self damage on standard utaunt

removed self damage on max aura sphere charging



Ultra-taunt

- Now takes lucario up to 999%.



Double Team

- Grab cancel removed

- slowed reapper a bit.(fsm=.9)

Spoiler: Lucas Chimera Lucas and 3 recolors added!



uAir

Now given a tapped variant that does not freeze foes



pk-thunder

removed stun element

This was done to remove an infinite that was discovered with Lucas that worked against half the roster.

Spoiler: Luigi Princess? Luigi and 3 recolors added!



Green missile:

- Nerfed first hitbox knockback a bit.



- Added 2 secondary hitboxes to the move. Now has 3 total, descending in power.

While the first hitbox is really strong, the second and third are incrementally weaker.

the second hitbox comes out frame 24, and the last comes out on frame 36. there is only

ever 1 hitbox active, the others are removed before the others come out



- Now loses most of his momentum if he connects with a shielding opponent.

In previous versions, we had noticed that Green Missile was not only stronger in kill power than Super Jump Punch, but it was also much safer, effectively making Super Jump Punch pointless outside of recovery or being at the very top. Green Missile now has some risks to it that would make a Luigi player think about his options more



Super Jump Punch

-nerfed sourspot hitbox a bit, killing off the top at anything about 60 was a bit much for luigi's damage output and air to ground transition.

The sweetspot hitbox has not been altered.



Final Smash

TIME HAS STOPPED!

Welcome to MINUS WORLD.

Everything but Luigi is now completely frozen in time.

His foes cannot escape anything coming to them.

They won’t even realize they’ve been KO’d.

Time flows again.

Spoiler: Mario Side Taunt

-Animation reverted back to Brawl animation to fix animation issues.

-0.4* Frame Speed Modifier added on Frame 41 until Frame 61 (making the wait between the two Frame points about 50 Frames).

-Metal is activated on Frame 72 (technically Frame 132).

-Can interrupt on Frame 81 (technically Frame 141)

-Total length increased to about 160 Frames from 150 Frames.

In short, we fixed the Metal Cap animation's quirks and slightly sped up how long it takes to get Metal.



AI

-Will now use the double UpB if he is below the edge

Spoiler: Marth Famicom Marth and 3 recolors added!

Spoiler: Meta Knight NES Meta Knight and 3 recolors added!



Dimensional Cape:

Sweetspot kbg 101 -> 95



Drill Rush:

Startup 15 frames -> 17 frames

Endlag 8 (on final hitbox hit)/30 -> 15

Final hit knockback 1 WBK -> 50 BKB

Now transitions into grounded ending animation when landing

Spoiler: Ness PJ Ness and 3 recolors (one Minus exclusive) added



PK Flash

No longer goes into Special Fall



PK Thunder 1

Added a small pulsing hitbox around Ness that can repel foes. This hitbox comes up every 15 frames and deals small damage and knockback.



uTaunt

Press A to OKAY! moved here from side taunt

The easter egg that used to be on side taunt was originally a leftover from Bat Ness, but we moved it to the proper taunt so you can OKAY even more

Spoiler: Peach Turnip Pull:

Can no longer be performed out of special tumble states (shield break fall, star ko, etc)

Fixed an RNG related glitch where Peach would not pluck items with the intended frequencies (specifically Peach should now be able to pull green shells)

The reason Peach pulled nothings in 4.0b was because she was attempting to pull Snorlax and Waluigi (the Assist Trophy). However, Pokemon and Assist Trophies aren't always loaded, so she tried to pull unloaded data, winding up in pulling nothing. Now she will pull something that is always loaded in any match.

Spoiler: Pichu All recolors reworked, Melee alts added, Ukelelechu added



Jab

- furthest hitbox x-offset 16 -> 14

- second furthest hitbox x-offset 11.5 -> 10.5

Spoiler: Olimar Pikmin Toss

- Cancel moved back 3 frames (18 -> 21)

Spoiler: Pit dTaunt

Is now Heavenly Light. Shower foes above you with non-flinching damage while performing this move.



up-b

Pit can no longer use this move multiple times in the air

This was removed due to it leading to Pit having an infinite recovery. Don't worry though, Pit Players, you still have your SideB in the air to aid your recovery!

Spoiler: Pokemon Trainer Pokemon Trainer has been removed from the game

This section is only really here so it won't have to be explained in each Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard's sections. Pokemon Trainer has been a longtime stay in Minus, but his removal was decided on for the following reasons: To fix bugs related to spawning and buffers (sometimes they would suddenly UpB right from the respawn pad despite you not pressing anything) as well as the difficulty of balancing Squirtle Ivysaur and Charizard with the ability to change into one another at will, given they are all drastically different characters in terms of weight power and playstyle. In turn, each Pokemon now has a grounded DownB and a unique Final Smash.

Spoiler: Ivysaur 5 recolors added!



Bullet seed:

Velocity gain increased to adjust for gravity changes



DownB

Ivysaur forgot Leaf Storm

and has learned Giga Drain!

Grab your foes and draw them to you for a healing grab! Great for when you’re in a pinch!



Final Smash

Is now Solar Beam

FIRE A HUGE POWERFUL LASER BEAM THAT KILLS

Spoiler: Charizard 5 recolors added!



fAir

Fair redesigned to be smaller but slower, and stronger.



SideB

Is now Dragon Rush

Dragon Rush is a horizontal recovery move with mild heavy armor and hits multiple times.



Fly

UpB ledgesnap changed from 9-4



DownB

Is now Stealth Rock. Stealth Rock can be B Reversed.



Final Smash

Is now Blast Burn Blitz

Charizard fires off 10 non-aimed Blast Burns in rapid succession! use this move wisely!

Spoiler: Squirtle 5 recolors added!



Improved entry animation



Now has a grounded variation of Aqua Jet (DownB)



Final Smash is now Whirlpool

Squirtle creates a deadly whirlpool around him that traps foes inside. He can move along the ground while using this move.

Spoiler: Ice Climbers Note: For the sake of simplicity, the name Nana is used to refer to the Partner Climber, and likewise, Popo refers to the climber you play as.



Nana

Can now only die when in hitstun

While this doesn't affect too much compared to her only being able to die in special fall, it does fix a few flukes and ensure that Nana's death comes from her opponent, not from her messing up.



Belay

Solo upwards initial velocity 1.9 -> 2.8



Squall Hammer

Nana snap distance 30 -> (basically) infinite

Initial solo grounded velocity reduction 25%/10% -> 0%

Gravity .1 -> .065

Max downwards velocity 2.8 -> 1.8

Mash window 6 -> 8

Mash boost .6/.8 -> .8/.9

Aerial solo initial vertical velocity boost .6 -> 1.2

Grounded acceleration .09 -> .1

Grounded max horizontal velocity 1.1 -> 1.3

Aerial acceleration .08 -> .09

Aerial max horizontal velocity 1.3 -> 1.5

Synced wall bounce momentum conservation .75 -> .5

Can grab ledge after frame 12/13



tl;dr version: Nana will teleport to Popo at the start of squall hammer similarly to belay and Squall Hammer generally moves slightly faster and is more responsive





Grabs

Nana can now grab again

All of Nana's throws freeze foes to prevent infinites

Spoiler: Jigglypuff Down-throw BKB 40 -> 50



fSmash

Cancels removed



Side Taunt

Gravity has been removed, replaced with Secret Power

Jigglypuff spins around and poses, unleashing a Secret Power. What kind of power? That's a secret!

Spoiler: R.O.B. Uncharged laser now hits straight up on grounded targets. Still hits away aerial targets.

Uncharged laser knockback on grounded targets E/E -> 46/E

Base Knockback increased, Growth decreased



Charged laser attribute reverted to Paralyze.



Grounded side-B reverted to 2.X.6

R.O.B. will now fly towards his foes while using this move, but only if he starts this move while on the ground.

Grounded side-B reflect property removed, still reflects things when he starts this move in the air.

When we took the zoom functionality out in 4.0b, we saw R.O.B. got hurt by this more than we expected, and we we researched him, we found it was only really broken when he gained tons of momentum in the air with it. Thus, why the function was only restored on the ground, and was given different utility in the air. Now R.O.B. should have a decent way of getting in on his opponents again!

Spoiler: Roy Awakening Roy and 3 recolors added!



Up Smash

Reworked, is now a single sweeping hit



Neutral Air

Damage increased on sweetspot by 2% on both swings

Landing lag reduced by 5 frames

Spoiler: Samus Power Bomb

Cancel removed from ending animation.

This is to prevent a cheesy strategy that involved Samus covering herself in a barrier of power bomb explosions.

Spoiler: Sheik Impa Sheik and 3 recolors added!



Dash Attack

Added intangibility so to prevent her from being hit while invisible.



Up B

Intangibility restored to prevent her from being hit while invisible. 0.8 FSM added after hitbox terminates to add endlag making it more punishable.

Spoiler: Snake MGS Snake and 3 recolors added!

Spoiler: Sonic Racing Suit Sonic and 3 recolors added!



dAir

Cancel into Spring is now an on-hit cancel

knockback angle changed to be a standard meteor

Spoiler: Toon Link nAir, bAir

Kill power reduced



dAir

Jump Cancel moved from frame 15 -> 19



Ice Arrows

Are now flinchless when on the ground

Before, Ice Arrows were a major nuisance on the ground. Disrupting the foe by imprisoning them in ice, and then sliding them away in a way that is hard for TL to follow up on (but still gave him a positional advantage). Now, Ice Arrows are better in the air for snipes, while Fire Arrows are better on the ground for traps, and Light Arrows are the best of both worlds.



Bommerang

KO Power reduced, KB Angle changed to be less vertical



Bombs

Pull speed reduced from x1.7 FSM to x1.6

Spoiler: Wario Bike

Now has little to no gravity in the air.



Wario Waft (UpB)

Fixed a glitch where he would not gain any height with this move if hit by a windbox



Cratestipation

Wario will now let go of whatever item he was holding when spawning the crate. The item will be placed next to him on the crate.

This fixes a bug where the crate would not spawn if Wario was holding an item when using this move.



bair

Hitboxe durations now properly match animation

reduced priority

landing hitbox removed

Wario is no longer bAir: The Character

Spoiler: Yoshi 4 recolors added!



Can no longer jump in the air for 20 frames after your previous jump.

This is to prevent Yoshi players from accidentally wasting both of their midair jumps.
