Super Smash Bros. Ultimate changes in balance tend to appear in waves. Whenever developers add new content to the game, players can expect to be greeted by a handful of character adjustments to the expansive list. But in the latest update, Nintendo’s decision-makers set their sights on a single fighter: Wii Fit Trainer.
The only line in the current version. Update 11.0.1 explains that “the vulnerability on landing after using the Wii Fit Trainer’s special side head had inadvertently decreased, so it has been adjusted.” Thus ends a reign of terror based on the exercise that began earlier this month.
On March 4, Wii Fit Trainer received what the community calls a “buff buff” or an improvement to its game that was not mentioned in the official change log, as part of the release. 11.0.0 update. Despite fixing a long-standing bug with the Wii Fit Trainer’s Header special, the developers somehow also reduced the landing motion recovery, or the amount of time between completing the animation of the attack and the player who was able to perform a follow-up action, in more than half.
This fan gave even more utility to the popular movement, especially when combined with the character’s special Deep Breathing to increase his fall speed. Under these circumstances, Header was incredibly difficult to punish by the opponent, as the user was able to recover so quickly after using it. The fan even opened up some new and interesting combo routes for players to learn.
As is often the case with these changes, Wii Fit Trainer users loved it, while other serious competitors hated it, but for the most part it didn’t seem to affect the results of the tournament during the few weeks it was in play or improve the rankings. of the fitness instructor. in various power rankings. With or without the shadow buff, Wii Fit Trainer is still believed to be a firm fighter in the middle of the road, which is a shame for how much fun they are seeing in high-end games.

I’m very much in favor of leaving things like this rock for a while before tweaking it with an update, even if it really was a mistake, but I guess we have to respect the vision of the developers here. I guess Wii Fit Trainer didn’t intend to have all that power.
