Super Smash Bros. Ultimate version 3.0.0 Complete Patch Notes

+3

The latest patch notes are finally released. The largest take away from balance seems to be that shields have been buffed, by lowering the amount of damage that attacks do to shields. There also seems to be some changes to make some characters more responsive.

Perfect shield triggering multiple times when you're caught in a flurry of attacks seems to be fixed as well, which is good.

I had problems downloading the 3.0.0 update, but I was able to update my version to 3.0.0 by using a friend's Switch who downloaded the update and syncing our versions. I kept getting server errors all night long, but syncing local versions worked first time, perfectly. I've also heard that you can delete all your game data (not the saves!) and redownload all the patches to fix it. Though this will take a long time, even if you have a decent connection.
