Super Smash Bros. Patch 9.00 Summary
Of course, these are a lot of changes to go through, and so a simple summary should be useful. For anyone looking to play this patch of Super Smash Bros., you should note that the Ice Climbers have been significantly buffed (mostly with the AI partner being improved and their recovery no longer being stifled if the AI decides to attempt one first)
Other Super Smash Bros. characters have been sped up, notably Sonic, Ness, Lucario, and Bowser Jr. each having some of their attacks made quicker, allowing them to poke at their opponents in Super Smash Bros. more effectively.
Across the board, multi hitting attacks have been made more consistent, and rapid jabs no longer clash with opponents. This means that mashing A in Super Smash Bros. (with certain characters) will no longer deflect other sword hits.
