CHANGELOG

Spoiler: Changelog

Spoiler: Global/Codes

Strap Screen and game intro no longer specifies which version you are playing.
This information can still be found on the title screen and on the description of VS. Mode

Updated Minus Artwork for R.O.B., Wario, Olimar, and the Fighting Alloy Team (Artwork by Pin Clock)

All characters invulnerability during ledge attacks goes away the frame the attack comes out instead of the frame before.
In Minus many characters such as Wario have attacks that easily cover the ledge and ledge attacks would lose to them. Now they will at least trade or clank.

Gerudo Dragon
New GFX added

Gandouken

Spoiler: Bowser

SideB
Damage: 8>10
Kbg 0>50

Spoiler: Link

Bombs are now Combo Bombs

Spoiler: Lucario

DownB
Lucario learned Focus Energy! Pressing and holding down-b, Lucario will calm himself and focus his aura. This boosts his power to 1.2x default, making his moves hit harder and do more damage. In addition, some of his moves evolve into completely new versions. Naturally, executing these moves will break his concentration and he will need to Focus Energy again in order to use them.

SideB: Hold B when using this move with Aura to use Close Combat, a much stronger command grab that uses up his Aura abilities!

Up-b: When Lucario is boosted by Focus Energy, Lucario can use his power speed to use Extreme Speed a second time when started from the ground. This does not deplete his Focus Energy charge, so keeping double extreme speed is up to you not using the other moves to deplete it.

Down-b: When Lucario doesn't have Focus Energy stored, this move is how to initiate the charging process. When lucario does have a Focus Energy charge, this move because Double Team; an instantaneous kick from either direction that the player can choose. This move has the potential to kill at higher percents, and can be used to get Lucario out of tricky situations.

Careful though, as with these power comes the cost of expending Lucario's stored aura; Meaning in order to use it or your other boosted abilites, you will need to recharge.

Spoiler: Luigi

F-Air
Moved hitbox active frames one frame back (8-11, from 9-12) to match animation

Run cancel added after the second fireball comes out
Mario having this ability in the air made for a way too powerful offensive pressure, which became even more powerful with 4.0b's increased gravity. Now Mario still has good pressure, as well as a safe Fireball on the ground, but has to choose between his fireball options in the ground and air.
