Super Smash Bros. Patch Notes: Update 11.0 Buffs Several Fighters As Pyra/Mythra Arrive
Show me your moves, with less self-damaging power.
In the wake of the Pyra/Mythra combination character releasing in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo has released a new update that buffs several characters with reduced vulnerability and less damage with special attacks.
You can look at the full table of changes on the official Nintendo support page, but the majority of the changes allow fighters to not take as much damage with powerful attacks or reduce their vulnerability. Fighters changed include:
- Link
- Captain Falcon
- Jigglypuff
- Zelda
- Pichu
- Ganondorf
- Zero Suit Samus
- Wario
- Diddy Kong
- King Dedede
- R.O.B.
- Villager
- Little Mac
- Mii Brawler
- Mii Swordfighter
- Mii Gunner
- Palutena
- Shulk
- Isabelle
- Joker
- Hero
- Banjo & Kazooie
- Byleth
- Min Min
- Steve & Alex
- Sephiroth
Rex's spirit can now be enhanced as part of the update, as well. The hero from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, where Pyra and Mythra also originated, Rex uses personified weapons in battle, and he was already an existing spirit in Smash.
If you have several controllers connected to your Switch, you can disconnect them via other controllers when using the fighter-selection screen. Just press the A button over the player bracket for the controller you're not using, and it will disappear.
