    With our release of 4.1 coming up very soon, people really want to know what has been changed! So to help tide you over until release, here are the list of changes from BC that take Minus to a whole new level!

    CHANGELOG
    Memory Expansion Code optimized.
    CPU Default Level is now set to 9, new names for CPU levels
    Footstools can now be performed with Taunt (Thanks to Magus and ds22)
    Tons of text changes/fixes, including in-game statements of things that may not work right (such as certain event matches)
    Smash 4 style Team Colors have been added
    Completely New HUD
    Stock Icons! (Stock Icons for our alt costumes and new characters by The Bug Man™)
    Coin Mode counts coins again
    Classic and All Star can now be played to completion
    Rotation Mode works again
    Tourney Mode redirects to Rotation for now

    Turbo Mode added
    Your favorite mode! Go nuts! Destroy your opponents by cancelling so many moves into other moves they won't know what they got combo'd by! Make mashing your controller look like true skill!

    Angled Camera Mode replaced with All Star Mode
    Your other favorite mode, you can battle foes as multiple characters! Select characters in the order you want them to be used, and beat your foes!

    Flower Mode replaced with Element Mode
    Each hit will deal a random element. In this mode, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!

    Added a Ledge Grab Limit, which is set to 5
    You are now only able to grab the ledge with invincibility 5 times before you have to land on the stage before you get invincibility again. This overdue code was finally put into place to fix the over prevalent amount of stall found in competitive play.

    Flat Shield Stun reduced from 7.4->6.4
    Lowered Shield Pushback

    Powershield Parry added, adding the following effects to Powershield:
    -Reflects Projectiles
    -Refresh powershield window
    -No shield damage, stun, or pushback
    -Total of 5 frames of hitlag (minus 1 frame)
    -Instant shield drop on release shield for the next 10 frames after hitlag ends
    -Up to 5 frames of intangibility on shield drop, capped by 10 frames after hitlag ends
    Before, Powershielding sometimes wound up being worse than regular shielding. This is never going to be the case again.

    Controls and Rumble can now be toggled in the CSS
    Press X when hovering over your name to adjust controls ad Rumble Rumble for that name
    [​IMG]
    Rematch code reworked
    During Pause Hold
    GameCube Controller: L-R-A-B-START/PAUSE
    Classic Controller: L-R-A-B-START
    Wii Remote + Nunchuck: Z-C-B-1-PLUS OR Z-B-1-MINUS-PLUS Wii
    Remote: B-1-2-MINUS-PLUS

    Upon seeing "GAME" Hold
    GameCube Controller: L-R-B
    Classic Controller: L-R-B
    Wii Remote + Nunchuck: Z-C OR PLUS-MINUS
    Wii Remote: PLUS-MINUS

    Return to CSS from SSS by Holding
    GameCube Controller: L-R-A
    Classic Controller: L-R-A
    Wii Remote + Nunchuck: Z-B-1 Wii Remote: B-1-2
    Some results animations reverted to 2.x.6

    uTaunt
    Now has a YESSSSSSS sfx on it

    Knee of Justice (fAir)
    No longer forces the foes to fly in the direction Falcon is facing

    FALCON PUNCH!
    Reverse Falcon Punch now deals 1% more damage than forward Punch
    This is to match Reverse's properties in vBrawl

    PAWNCH!
    Fixed this move from slowing down upon landing if Falcon started it in the air

    Raptor Boost
    -Damage increased to 15% total
    -KBG reduced 82 -> 62 to compensate for damage increase
    -Shield Damage increased from 0-10

    Falcon Kick
    -Is now B-reverseable
    Some results animations reverted to 2.x.6

    fSmash
    Shield Damage: 1->10
    fAir
    -Looping Hitbox hitlag multiplier reduced from x0 -> x0.5
    -Finishing Hitbox size 10 -> 8

    fSmash
    Windbox no longer affects Grounded Foes

    Fire Bird
    -Distance reduced to match Fox's
    -Repeating Hitboxes size 8 -> 6.8
    -Finishing Hitbox size 10 -> 8
    While we got rid of the PERSONALLY I PREFER THE-FIRE! Ages ago, we never rebalanced the move since. Well it's about time we finally got to doing that.
    Hop V 1.95 -> 2.34
    Jumpsquat 3 -> 4

    Wavedashing
    sliding off ledges is allowed in more subactions, making it behave more proper and less clunky

    Dash Attack
    Attack Cancel moved from Frame 16 -> 23

    Nair
    Cancel frame 31 -> 25
    Landlag 7 -> 9

    Dair
    Cancel frame 31 -> 25
    Landlag 9 -> 11

    Fair
    Momentum boost x1.1
    This is so the move can retain its old properties after the Gravity increase in 4.0b

    bThrow
    Endlag is cancellable starting at frame 33

    Fire Fox
    Can now grab edge during charge animation.
    Can now grab the edge during the "moving" animation, instead of just the end

    Reflector
    SFX changed to be identical to Melee's
    BLIP BLIP BLIP BLIP BLIP
    Initial dash speed 1.3 -> 1.8
    Max run speed 1.16 -> 1.25
    Double jump multiplier .95 -> 1.05

    nAir
    New vBrawl based combo oriented nAir
    Before with the Multi-hit nAir, Ganon would find that rather than delivering a devastating 4 hit combo to his foes, that they'd be escaping it mid-combo or worse, deliver a devastating 4 hit combo....to a shield and being punished afterwards. While we have tried adjusting it in the past, we have ultimately decided it would be better for Ganon to try out a new nAir instead that focuses on his combo game, since most of his other moves are already finishers.

    bAir
    Speed it up by a tiiiiiny bit

    dThrow
    Damage reduced from 15% -> 8%

    Wizard's Foot
    This move is now B-Reverseable
    Some Results animations reverted to 2.x.6

    fAir
    Removed windboxes from the landing portion of the attack

    Eruption
    Fixed full charged indicators not synching when Ike goes from Air to Ground
    All of Ike's fire is now Blue dabadidabada

    Quick Draw
    Can now cancel into taunts on the ground

    Aether
    Changed from no armor to Super Armor (lasts till the last 23 frames)

    Down Taunt
    Hitbox added when Ike slams his sword into the ground
    Forward Tilt (Angled Up)
    All Hitboxes: Trip Rate: 100% -> 0%
    Hitboxes 0 - 1: DMG: 5 -> 11
    Hitbox 2: DMG: 4 -> 10
    Angle: 361 -> 40

    Inhale
    Odd of losing Power when hit: 128 -> 0
    When you get a copy ability it is almost impossible to lose it from being hit by your opponent.

    Final Cutter
    Endlag 35 -> 25
    Projectile
    Angle 56 -> 116
    WBK 120 -> 0
    KBG 100 -> 0
    BKB 10 -> 90
    Anti-stage-spike property added
    Kirby's UpB now behaves how it did during 3.Q, in which the hitbox now pulls foes towards Kirby to encourage more Kirby comboes rather than pure spacing, while also addressing the reason we removed this functionality in the first place by adding our anti-stage spike property to it.
    Jumpsquat 7 -> 6
    Spotdodge Active frames increased from 3-26 to 2-26

    dTilt
    Is now two hits, pulling foes towards Bowser with the first and letting them out with the second. Press A during the first attack to do the second.

    uSmash, dSmash
    Added the roll cancels that fSmash has on their charging portions

    Whirling Fortress
    Initial Hitbox now extends the same distance both in front and behind Bowser
    Endlag decreased on ground

    uAir
    Armor removed when hitboxes are not out
    Bair
    First hit has autolink angle, less endlag (10 frames?)

    Fair
    FSM between first and second hits (1.3?)
    Landlag window frames 2-50 -> frames 24-50 (moved from start of fair to immediately before start of second slash of fair)

    Arrow
    Can cancel arrow draw into Roll and Shield

    Gale Boomerang
    Returning dragging hitbox angle changed to 90 from 0 when reflected
    This eliminates a reflected Boomerang being very likely to kill Link if he doesn't shield. While this was hilarious and a long time Minus feature, we had to remove it due to giving Power Shields reflects causing the Boomerang to be a hinderance in every match-up rather than a few, and changing it to always have some sort of use and reflecting a much less fatal consequence.

    Bomb Pull
    1.5->1.7 FSM
    No longer has a random chance to pull deku nut
    Instead, Link pulls deku nuts on a 45 second timer
    Link flashes white and green when a deku nut is available
    These changes eliminate some cheese and add some strategy to Link. Now he can't throw two bombs up in the air and mash until he gets a Deku Nut, nor can he be lucky and get two Deku Nuts in a row. On the flip side, Link can't kill himself by immediately throwing what he pulls on reflex without thinking about what he may have gotten or by doing those inputs reflexively. Now Deku Nuts have no RNG associated with them and can be utilized in ways more beneficial to Link and fair to his foes.
    - Adjusted MAX aura aura sphere size:
    - Base Aura Sphere Growth: 3.0 -> 1.2
    - Aura Sphere Size Table:
    1.0 -> 1.0
    1.33 -> 1.15
    1.64 -> 1.22
    1.97 -> 1.43
    2.34 -> 1.55
    2.81 -> 2.75
    3.31 -> 1.85
    4.0 -> 2.1
    These are all to stop an ULTRATAUNT MAX AURA Lucario from winning games just by using Aura Sphere, rather than playing the High Risk High Reward game he was designed to play.

    Double Team
    Endlang increased to prevent spam and enable Lucario being punished for Double Team Spam
    This isn't our ideal change to this move, but we're hoping this fixes the issues with the move for now.
    dTaunt
    Hold it down to extend the duration of the taunt
    Up Tilt (Early Hit)
    Hitbox 3: X Axis: 3.6 -> 5.5

    Up Tilt (Late Hit)
    Hitbox 3: X Axis: 3.6 -> 5.5
    In layman's terms, the hitboxes have been increased to match the length of the sword
    Win1
    Changed vocal SFX from "Come back when you can put up a fight" to "Now my Power is without rival!"

    Forward Roll
    Active frames 5-12 -> 4-12

    Dair
    Sweet spot angle 285 -> 295
    Sweet spot BKB/KBG 50/50 -> 53/53
    Sour spot angle 285 -> 295
    Sour spot BKB/KBG 50/75 -> 53/53
    These are nerfs to the move's power that should hopefully fix the issues it has

    Now transcendant

    Drill Rush
    Now transcendant
    Fixed his AI

    Spot Dodge
    Given the same GFX + SFX as PM Mewtwo

    fAir
    Granted a bit more range (1)
    kbg 95 -> 115

    bkb 15/24 -> 20/30
    kbg 110/100 -> 90/80

    Up Tilt
    BKB: 35 -> 45
    KBG: 130 -> 110

    Up Smash
    Hit 1
    Hitbox 1: X Offset: 6 -> -6
    Multihit and Final hit gain a 5th hitbox with the same properties as their 3rd Hitbox, except the X Offset is -5.5, rather than 5.5

    Shadow Ball
    Fixed holding armored foes in hitlag forever (removed hitlag every 7 hits)

    Teleport

    It's....Beautiful!!
    [​IMG]

    .....um.....okay?

    I don't think the problem was simply the ledges were abusable. I mean, they were! Don't get me wrong, but I think much of this could have been fixed by make the ledges like P:M where you don't auto-snap on to them. But okay. This change is alright by me. I think this more akin to throwing the baby out with the bath water, but it at least solves the problem.

    Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!

    20XX is finally here.
    Awesome. Hopefully these changes make Fox more of a threat.
    Thank you. I preferred the way it works in Smash 4 as a combo move.
    I was like :charizard:
    But then I was like :squirtle:

    I like this change. Removes BS RNG SDs, UKnoWatIMeen? I'm sorry. I'll stop.
    This is fine. The dev team should make nerfs that make the game more interesting rather than simply weakening a character. If you want me to be in depth, just check out Core-A Gaming's video on the topic.
    oohh boy.....
    Ok, to start off, I love the changes for WIN1. That voice gives me goosebumps.
    I like what you all did with the dair. Makes the move less spammable.

    but......why did you add the Transcendent property to Glide Attack and Drill Rush? I love playing meta knight. He's been my main since 4.0b, but even I can admit that his Side b was stupidly powerful. I wouldn't mind transcendence being added in addition to it being slowed down or having less knockback or something. Also, why doesn't Pit get transcendence on his Glide Attack? He could actually benefit from it since his Glide Attack KO's earlier than his aerial side special. Only problem is he lacks the range for the move to connect reliably. MK's glide attack goes significantly farther than Pit's and is a great KO move as is. I'm not mad; I'm just confused as to what the mindset for this was.
    So I guess that means you can no longer do this...
    You guys actually listened! Thank you!
    Finally! Pit no longer has a "gimpable" recovery!
    Dair is no longer a useless move. Awesome.

    "Ivysaur and its foe." :waluigi::waluigi::waluigi:
    8 jumps?....8??
    Is this the change log for version 3.Q? It's a cool buff, but...it seems like a bad idea.
    Good. F*** that move.

    lol :wario:
    YEEAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
    [​IMG]
    I can't wait to play the new version. I think you guys did a great job! :nesmk:

    Looks great! I'm sad that Ike's uair didn't get buffed (even just as a recovery option), and I'm a bit surprised you didn't nerf Dragon Rush, but I approve of everything else.

    Here are my favorites:
    • New modes
    • Powershield is good again
    • Both players can set controls at the same time
    • Quick Draw -> taunt
    • Final Cutter pulls foes in
    • Mario spins endlessly in midair
    • Drill Rush can be stuffed easier
    • Mewtwo's uair and utilt don't kill as early
    • You can cancel Peach Bomber into specials besides Toad
    • Jigglypuff rules the air again
    • Sheik's Transform is B-reversable
    • Sonic's dash attack's final hitbox no longer lasts forever
    • Wario's bair would no longer win
    • Wolf no longer recovers for free
    • Yoshi jumps out of shield
    • Yoshi can no longer grab you from halfway across the stage with no warning
    • Zelda's Transform is also B-reversable
    • Final Frustration now has proper music
    I only regret that I have but one like to give to this changelog.

    *its

    If you're going to be pedantic, get it right.

    Not sure why there's such a push against auto-snap ledges... the game is called "Brawl Minus" and not "Melee Minus" or "Project M Minus" for a reason.

    [Mewtwo would still be able to abuse non-auto-snap ledges anyway, and I'd think y'all would know this if you'd watched Emukiller play PM in 3.02...]

    Frankly, removing autosnap ledges would require even more balance reworking... Falco just spamming dair at the edge would go from somewhat obnoxious to a legitimate and really annoying edgeguard strategy, because he doesn't just rocket downward like in Melee/PM >_> (the option is no less rewarding but much much less riskier with how he works in Minus).

    Not a fan of everything, but I like most of it and some changes are quite interesting. Looking forward to playing with 4.1!

    *Excitedly looks for Jiggs and ICs changes*

    Jiggs's changes are nice; nothing spectacular, and the jumps honestly aren't going to be broken. For recovery, if you don't get back on stage, and weren't being heavily edgeguarded, you should be thinking about your gameplay. I don't see it listed, but was her taunt fixed to work in both directions now?

    ICs's double block I always considered intentional in the same way mario has his double fireball. You can create a really specific lock on any stage with a wall using them, but it needs to be carefully executed and still has no change on any legal stage. Given how bad they already are, I don't see this being needed, even if it was unintentional originally.

    Peach Bomber being finally fixed is wonderful.

    Ike's taunt is a really nice touch; I'm hoping it meteors.

    Bowser had no notable nerfs; Neutral B having armor whilst on the ground and also in the air is degenerate on smaller stages if you ask me. Maybe change it to heavy armor or even light armor? If the latter, I think it's fair to make the shell invincible during the move to compensate.

    Thank the based gods for the Sneaky Snek and Ivysaur updates.

    Ganondorf Nair now combo move again? Pray to thine Minus Backroom for this beautiful harvest.

    Royal Rampage only grabs grounded foes, making it incredibly easy to punish.

    TIL that's a thing. So I guess Bowser is easily counterpicked by command grab characters and quasi-hovering characters. That being acknowledged, stage picking something like Lavender Town and spamming short hop -> Rampage against anyone else in the cast requires a lot of footsies just to not get hit, and provides not a lot of room to punish.

    Ike's uair kills at 80 on most characters, beats nearly every hitbox above him, and can be combo'd into. Also his recovery did get buffed.

    Don't be too grateful for this -- all they did was increase the size of Pichu's head HurtBox a little, and not as much as I suggested.
    No 25% overall size increase like I recommended. Pichu is still way too small.
    Plenty of attacks still miss or don't work properly against it when it's simply standing still.

    Pichu's canon size should not be the most important factor when balancing a fighting game.
    Look to Melee for to see how Pichu's size should be balanced.
    Yes, I'm quite disappointed that all of that work and testing I did to find the best new size for Pichu was effectively shrugged off by the Devs.
    The 25% size increase was important. :/
    [​IMG]

    I think he just wanted the old Ikecopter vertical flight distance back. I miss that too.

    On a different note, anyone else notice the new SFX on Peach and Yoshi? > . >

    I thought I was just really lucky when I would use aerial side+b to grab Bowser out of that move... didn't know this was a legitimate counterplay strategy LOL

    Sounds like ZSS uair :^) :^) :^)

    Old Ikecopter is fun and it's probably not *ridiculously overpowered* to give to Ike, but probably makes him feel more obnoxious to fight against... that's my guess for it being left out, as I don't think Ike would become truly top tier/broken when he still seems like he'd have basic frame data issues vs some other top tiers, as well as a mediocre recovery when he's not recovering high.

    After some more testing, I discovered two things: the fire around Bowser now deals damage, and Bowser can grab some characters out of the air if they're attacking. He's more likely to be able to grab someone out of a regular attack than a special, but that isn't a hard rule: he can grab Meta Knight out of all four of his specials.

    Everyone has at least one easy answer to Royal Rampage.

    By character:
    • Mario: Cape.
    • Peach: hover and attack.
    • DK: full hop -> fair -> fair.
    • Waluigi: short hop -> dair. Land well behind him or he'll grab you.
    • Waluigi: full hop -> dair. Get the timing right and you'll bury him.
    • Link, Toon Link: full hop -> dair.
    • Sheik: full hop -> dair -> jump. (You can jump cancel dair after it hits.)
    • Samus: short hop -> Power Bomb.
    • ZSS: Flip Jump. Flip Jump has invincibility frames but doesn't lead to easy follow ups, so use it if it's too late for anything else.
    • Ness: short hop -> PK Fire. You aren't in much danger as long as you land behind Bowser, so take the time to aim PK Fire at where he's going to stop.
    • Lucas: if you have time, launch a PK Freeze before jumping.
    • Lucas, Dedede: full hop -> dair -> land behind Bowser. Depending on your positioning, Bowser may attempt to grab you, but as long as you jumped high enough before starting dair, he'll whiff the grab. However, whiffing a grab gives him extra armor, so it's better if you can avoid that entirely.
    • Jigglypuff: jump -> Rollout -> anything. Just make sure you charge Rollout enough that it bounces off him.
    • Jigglypuff: jump -> Sing.
    • Squirtle: full hop -> Hydro Pump. If you follow Bowser and time it right, you can reliably freeze him.
    • Ivysaur: jump -> dair. Between the sweetspot buff and Bowser's size, it's hard to miss.
    • Meta Knight: Drill Rush. This only works if you start on the ground and angle it upwards. Also, there's a lot of startup lag, during which Bowser can grab you.
    • Fox: short hop -> Fox Phantasm -> attack.
    • Falco: short hop -> Falco Phantasm.
    • Wolf: Wolf Flash.
    • Falcon: full hop -> Raptor Boost.
    • R.O.B.: Arm Rotor -> bair.
    • Pit: Mirror Shield -> Angel Ring -> grab. Bowser will turn around and whiff a grab when the fire around him hits your shield, giving you time to put it away and punish. Note that if Bowser manages to start a Whirling Fortress, that will block Angel Ring, so you might just want to grab. (You can grab Bowser out of Whirling Fortress.)
    • Olimar: jump away and stick red Pikmin on him. (The fire will block all other types. Even purple.)
    • Snake: short hop and stick some C4 on him.
    • Sonic: full hop -> Bounce Attack -> Bounce Attack.
    • Sonic: jump and Spring Jump. Worst case is he takes a little damage and you take none. Best case is you start a combo.
    • Everyone with a command grab: command grab. Your grab will beat his whether or not you jump first. However, jumping is safer in Ivysaur's case, since Ivysaur rushes forwards before the grab comes out.

    Now for what everyone can do:
    • Grab. ZSS has it easiest, followed by others with tether grabs, followed by characters with good reach, like Zelda and Marth. However, everyone can do it with good enough timing, even the Ice Climbers.
    • Short hop -> don't attack -> land behind him -> punish.

    I was talking about this request, not a buff to the move's power.

    There are a few changes that weren't documented by this changelog. I'm not going to point any fingers as to who's fault that is, but I'm casually going to compile a list of true changes from 4.0BC to 4.1. ....Eventually.

    This version seems like it'll be good. A bit sad that powershielding is a thing, but eh, no such thing as a perfect game. Major good things:

    Blast Burn in the air is no longer a suicide button!

    Kirby's Final Cutter can into combos now, apparently? Will probably use that a lot.

    ZSS's final smash actually works, so that's one more mode I can actually progress in. Maybe.

    It seems we got some more missing stuff.
    Things that happened in 4.1


    • Yoshi Foot doesn't have the electric sound or Yoshi's "Yoshi!" when it hits.
    • Tink's bombs go through people causing damage as a projectile and not an explosion.
    • Samus' Down B does the vBrawl SFX for morphing into a ball.
    • ZSS no longer says, "Be still." when she does D-Throw.
    • ZSS D-Taunt can be cancelled before saying, "Mine."
    • Ike doesn't say, "Prepare yourself," when Eruption fully charges.
    • Ike's Side Taunt is now vBrawl instead of "I fight for my friends," and "You'll get no sympathy from me."
    • Why is Fox's fire pink.
    • Why is Falco's fire purple.
    • What happened to Tink's bombs?
    • Kirby loses Copy Ability when All-Star opponent changes (apparently).
    • Wolf's Victory and Losing Anims have been reverted to vBrawl.
    • Falco's Victory and Losing anims have been reverted to vBrawl.
    • Mario's victory and losing anims have been reverted to vBrawl.
    • Zelda's victory and losing anims have been reverted to vBrawl.
    • Snake no longer throws his box onto the loser on the victory screen.
    • Link's losing anim has been reverted to vBrawl.
    • There's a sound effect when Falcon wins that says, "Alright! First place!" that overlaps the victory screen announcement.
    • Wolf no longer says, "Weaklings" or "Playtime's over" when D-Taunting.
    • Wolf's entry no longer says, "Playtime's over, Star Fox."
    • Peach no longer thinks F-Throwing you is fun.

    I like how no minus dev has addressed the inconsistency of Pin saying Ike wouldnt lose certain things, and then they were removed anyway (dodging out of qd), and how using grounded specials out of qd was possible regardless of nsm, yet it was removed despite not being in rhe changelog in which it was removed.

    I like the changes he's received, and at this point dont mind if the things I mention dont return, I jusy think it's unprofessional to not only go back on your word, but also to neglect acknowledgement of such and address it as is. The only reason I mention this so much is because Pin himself told me what to expect, and then didnt deliver on these things.

    Other than that, I'm enjoying all the changes as they are. :D

    Trust me when I saw a lot of this version and its changelog inconsistancies are not my fault. Next version the changelog will be 100% accurate.

    I forget if I asked before, but what version was it possible for Ike to do those things mentioned?

    The patch before Ike's NSM was removed, he was able to perform grounded specials out of QD even without NSM active. I believe in the oatch for BC, the ability to shield out of QD was removed "to disallow spot dodges" but rolls were adversely affected as well. If there were a way to make it so that at least rolls would be possible, that would be nice.
