We keep hearing about "buffs", but is there an actual concrete list of them yet?

[up][up]That explains it. Since they found out some of Greninja's nerfs ended up being beneficial in the long run, Nintendo simply figured the reverse should be true as well. tongue

Also, what do you mean benificial nerfs?

Prisoners of the shame tier must be given only a brief taste of freedom every once in a while so that it may then be taken away again and their spirit be broken.

[up][up][up] Greninja's F-Air and Up-Air got knockback reductions in the first 3DS patch, later it turned out that this allowed these moves to combo into more stuff at lower percentages (F-Air can combo into a dash grab at lower percentages for longer and Up-Air combos into itself also for longer).

As for the patch changes, Smashboards is gathering them.

Characters given big buffs: Zelda, Ike, Marth, Lucina, Charizard, Meta Knight, Falco

Characters given small buffs: Mii Swordfighter, Greninja, Samus, Ness, G&W, Bowser, Palutena, Rosalina, Lucario

Characters nerfed: Diddy, Captain Falcon, Mewtwo, Kirby

Mixed bag: Sonic, Villager, Link

Yeah, it seems this patch was really good to a lot of characters. I still need to check out Ike and Charizard.

By the way, does Donkey Kong have constant streams of "Expand Dong", references in his Support pics?
From what I've seen, yeah, DK has a lot of "Expand" memes in his supports. And I'm sure the Meta Knight ones about nerfing him are just jokes about him being nerfed from Brawl to 4 in general.

Just to get it out of the way, here are some additional posts I've seen:

  • Poorly drawn human anatomy
  • Demotivational posts
  • Posts saying things that have nothing to do with anything
  • Posts having absolutely nothing in them
  • "9/11" posts
  • Random spoilers (DO NOT play as Ness or Lucas if you value being spoiler-free. On the same note, I haven't seen any for Xenoblade when playing Shulk, but I assume it's there)
  • Fornication posts (generally when playing almost any female character)

Everything else is usually OK, although I sometimes notice posts that involve memes or memetic people in gaming that are bound to go over the heads of most players that I usually find more amusing, such as:

  • He has no style (Diddy, especially after the Hoo-hah nerf)
  • So happy (Yoshi)
  • A mushroom with a V in it (referencing Vinesauce I think)

But mostly, I just find the stage bland, since it uses Battlefield's layout but lacks the Scenery Porn that stage has. I'm sure Nintendo will take care of the troll posting at some point too, but I only really started seeing them about a day later after the stage was released.

You know, if I ever do get Smash Wii U, maybe I shouldn't get the Miiverse stage. It'll probably get me in trouble with my folks.

I rarely see any troll/s#%^posts when I play on Miiverse. The posts I see are actually funny and amusing at times. Or they're campaigning for unrelated characters for the Ballot.

Suzuku Castle is still miles better as far as the DLC stages go.

Your works are one trope short.

From what I've heard the messages don't appear if your Wii U isn't connected to the internet.

[up][up][up] Well, I guess I just wouldn't play on it then. A poorly drawn penis or some other anatomy popping up on the screen would probably lead to the Wii U being drop-kicked out the window by my dad.

Does anybody here know if the Metaknight d-throw to Shuttle Loop combo has been buffed? I feel I can do that at much higher percents now, but maybe I just wasn't using it properly before.

How did Mewtwo get nerfed? Not that he needed it, mind you.

Confusion doesn't slam the opponent onto a platform if there's one above Mewtwo anymore according to that thread. That was useful because it allowed Mewtwo to attack while the opponent is lying down or guess their roll and punish. Normally most characters can just jump after Confusion without Mewtwo being able to do anything about it.

Essentially, nothing particularly relevant unless you like Battlefield and company.

In general, the nerf count all seems pretty minor sans maybe Diddy and Sonic.

Yeah this was basically the patch of many buffs.

Shame a lot of characters missed the chance to get some, like Robin and Dr.Mario tongue

Dr. Mario has gone from "better than Mario in every way except recovery" to "worse than Mario in every way except nostalgia".

Dr. Mario gives me an excuse to hum 'I Am The Doctor' as I beat people up which makes him superior to Mario.

The thought crossed my mind that if we were to get a Ganondorf-esque Mario clone, that I would enjoy Metal Mario more than Dr. Mario. And to keep with his original 64 appearance, have him have armor and not flinch until he reaches a certain percentage, at which point he can be sent flying.

Robin wishlist:

  • Less landing lag on aerials.
  • Better frame data on smashes.
  • BETTER RUN SPEED FOR NAGA'S SAKE.
  • Improve grabs:
    • Speed up pummels.
    • Longer grab range.
    • Enable better followup options for throws. Everyone's getting Hoo-hahs, and Robin's up air is glorious already.

Seriously, in a game containing Ganondorf, Bowser, Donkey Kong, and King Dedede, Robin should not be the slowest character in the roster.

I need to fight Robins more often. Played as Mario against a Level 9 Robin 1-on-1 a few times this morning, and lost every time. I didn't expect her to be so good at juggling, and that Dark Magic grab move gets me every time.

That said, I was pretty proud of myself for reflecting a fully-charged Thunder back at her with my cape at one point. Wasn't able to do it again, though.

You'll need the level 9's frame-perfect reaction time to consistently land Nosferatu. I'd ask someone better at Robin than me whether it's a good out-of-shield option, but not many people play him at all.
