Super Smash Bros. Ultimate`s big 4.0 patch is out now and it introduces a variety of changes and tweaks. Alongside the release of Hero from Dragon Quest--who can be acquired via the $25 USD Fighters Pass or purchased individually for $6 USD--the game`s growing roster has seen some balancing. Most notable are changes to Charizard and Ridley.The 4.0 update buffs Charizard significantly. His side smash attack now has increased power and launch distance. The pinwheel-like air attack--executed by performing a neutral jump and pressing attack--sees Charizard`s vulnerability reduced after landing, but the hit detection lasts a little longer. Further, his forward throw now launches players just a little farther and his side special, Flare Blitz, causes him to grab the edge a little faster.Ridley also sees a buff in the 4.0 patch. His back air attack hits harder now, while his dash attack has more range. The up smash attack`s hit detection lasts longer and it launches farther. Ridley`s side special, Space Pirate Rush, has reduced vulnerability, but players will get launched farther if thrown at the edge of a map. And Wing Blitz, Ridley`s up special, now has increased attack and movement speed.In addition to modifications to a plethora of fighters, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate`s 4.0 patch notes introduce a variety of changes. Among the many changes are balance tweaks and a new adventure difficulty. The new Very Easy difficulty for adventure mode gives you more leniency while fighting through the World of Light. The Final Smash also gets a time limit, meaning you can no longer just sit on the attack. Finally, the 4.0 update introduces two new modes: Online Tournament, which occasionally offers special rule sets, and Spectate, which gives rewards for betting on the winner.You can check out the full fighter adjustments below and on Nintendo`s website.Super Smash Bros.
