All changes since the initial 5.0.5 release are included, changes introduced in 5.0.5a and 5.0.5b will be designated as such.

Fixed Bowser immediately going into idle when landing while in Special Fall
- Bowser's Aerial Up Special was the root of many annoyances, mainly from combo breaking, and being very tough to punish. This will tone those down while keeping it strong where its intended.
Royal Rampage
- Super Armor now goes away once the grab box goes away when whiffing the grab
- (5.0.5b) Changed detection hitbox angle 25 -> 0
  - The former hitbox would pop foes up off the ground which kept the grab from working properly.
Whirling Fortress
- Now starts on Frame 4 instead of Frame 1

YOU GOT BOOST POWER has been restored.
Jab 3
- Weak hitboxes were made into Strong Hitboxes.
Falcon Punch
- You can now charge up PAWNCH even if you reverse.

Two new colors based on Goodra and Dragapault have been added

Up Smash
- Jump Cancel changed from always available to on-hit only

Dash Attack
- IASA Frame 24 -> 36
Back Throw
- Final hit is No Longer Electric Element
  - The element and its hitboxes actually aided foes in living from this attack higher than they should have. Back throw should now have a better time killing.

Two new colors based on Snover and Toadscruel have been added
Giga Drain
- This move has been completely recoded to fix a crash in Turbo Mode.
- Knockback changed to send foes outwards instead of down.

Dash Attack
- Decreased Start-up (Frame 15 -> Frame 12)
- Hitbox now disappears as flames disappear (Asynch Timer 40 -> 35)
Olimar Kirby
- Fixed not having an antennae glow if you are an EX color
Ike Kirby
- Fixed a bug where Kirby could randomly gain a fully charged Eruption, even if Ike was never in the game
- Fixed a bug where Kirby would retain his Eruption charge when losing the copy ability, losing a life, and even between games

Up Smash
- Removed Weighted Knockback and Knockback Growth on first two hits
- Base Knockback on all first hits set to 40
- Base Knockback on all second hits set to 30
  - These changes should improve consistency when connecting hits.
Spin Attack
- Fixed a vBrawl bug where if Link uses this move without using his double jump but gets hit out of it, Link loses access to his double jump despite never using it.

Down Air
- Cancel moved back from Frame 5 to Frame 6
  - The move can no longer be canceled before the first hitbox comes out.

Up Smash
- Made Up Smash more consistent
- Removed weight dependant knockback on first 2 hits
- Set base Knockback on all first hits to 40
- Set Base Knockback on all second hits to 30
Dancing Blade
- Added a lower hitbox on the 4th Upwards blade swing to help Marth hit smaller foes.

Two new colors for Armored Mewtwo have been added
Down Throw
- First hitbox removed, now only second hitbox exists
- Total damage reduced 14% -> 7%
- SFX that would have played on first hitbox now plays on second
Future Sight
- Increased time before activated (Frame 134 > 120)
- Decreased time it stays activated (120 > 60 Frames before auto explosion)

Forward Smash (Tilted)
- Fixed hitbox placement so as to not hit people behind GnW.
- Adjusted damage interval from 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 to 1 > 1 > 2 > 2.
Neutral Air
- Fish Bowl
  - Hitboxes now follow the fish accurately. Added a FSM of x1.6666667 for frames 9-14 (it returns to x1 on frame 15) to keep the general speed of the move.

Fixed his bulb not glowing when playing as an EX color
Removed antenna hitlag from all attacks that feature it
Up Smash
- Adjusted Pikmin SDI Multiplier (0.3->0.6)
Up Tilt
- Removed IASA on Frame 31
Down Tilt
- Fixed ability to jump cancel when hitting shield
- Reduced momentum (2 > 1.5)
- Now halts momentum when hitting shields
Up Air
- Adjusted Pikmin SDI Multiplier(0 -> .4)
Pikmin Rope
- Fixed Pikmin Rope sometimes not detecting ledges
- Olimar’s landing lag when using the move with Pikmin is now the same as when he uses the move without Pikmin (10 frames)

Fixed a bug that would crash the game if you loaded Pichu after Pikachu
Forward Air
- A landing hitbox has been added
  - 2% Damage
  - Knockback Angle 20
  - 50 BKB
  - 90 KBG
  - This serves to prevent an infinite
Neutral Special
- Nuzzle
  - Hitlag reduced x1 -> x0.5
    - this serves to reduce stun duration
- Discharge
  - (5.0.5b) Fixed shielding breaking your Discharge counter
  - Charge effect colors changed to be more clear Pichu has a full charge
Electro Ball (Side Special)
- Hitlag reduced x1.4 -> x0.7
  - this serves to reduce stun duration
Up Special
- Tapped variant’s damage armor reduced 7.5% -> 3%
Thunderbolt (Down Special)
- Jump Cancel Window moved from frame 22 -> frame 35

Quick Attack
- Pikachu will no longer be allowed to Attack cancel out of Up Special unless he is touching the ground when it ends.
- You were able to do 1 zip straight upwards and still get the attack cancel upon landing before, now its much less lenient

We noticed very early on that Ridley was overperforming; even in areas he wasn't intended to. This patch tones him down a bit while keeping him very strong where he was supposed to be. While this patch is mostly not for bigger balance changes, as Ridley is a new addition, we felt the need to address him sooner.

Ridley’s AI will now properly use Up Special while recovering.
Forward Air
- Endlag increased 12 -> 16 Frames
Back Air
- Endlag increased 13 -> 18 Frames
Up Air
- Endlag increased 12 Frames -> 14 Frames
Down Air
- Reduced damage of Strong hitbox 12% -> 10%
- Reduced damage of Weak hitbox 10% -> 8%
- Ridley can now only bounce off the ground with this move 3 times until he properly lands.

- Reduced damage of "bweh" multi fireballs 6 -> 2%
Side Special
- Move grabbox closer to his body
- Down throw
  - KBG Reduced 170 -> 120
  - BKB Reduced 50 -> 30
Up Special
- Damage reduced 18% -> 15%
Impact Event (DownB)
- Jump Cancel removed

Back Air
- Fixed a Momentum Bug when using this move out of hitstun
Down Air
- Fixed a Momentum Bug when using this move out of hitstun

Glow effects to her default costumes have been added
Charge Shot (Neutral Special)
- Reduced Endlag when canceling charging the move into a shield 14 Frames -> 4 Frames
- In 4.2 it was 0 frames, which also felt off. This allows you to cancel it without going into shield, which is also nice as now you can charge in the air as well, and if it was 0 like 4.2, it would always cancel into airdodge.

Neutral Air
- Reduced Shield Damage (8,8,8,13 -> 5,5,5,9)
Down Air
- Reduced Shield Damage (5,5,5,6 -> 3,3,3,4)

Adjusted Sphere textures in the Green/Orange racing suit to look more Green/Orange
Dash Attack
- Fixed Dash Attack being able to cancel into grab on any frame by pressing shield
Neutral Special
- Bounce Bracelet
  - Sonic can now only Bounce off the ground 2 times per airtime. If Sonic gets hit or hits an opponent, he will regain those bounces.

Two new colors based on Cloyster and Magcargo have been added

Spin Attack
- Fixed a vBrawl bug where if Toon Link uses this move without using his double jump but gets hit out of it, Toon Link loses access to his double jump despite never using it.

Bike
- Bike Explosion no longer creates a hitbox when it is destroyed by attacking it
- This Created a lot of situations with the new explosion from getting damaged (not the one from hitting a wall) that were frustrating and non-interactive. We tried to find a good solution and the best was to just revert its functionality back to how it was.

Yoshi’s broken egg shells are now the same color as the unbroken egg
Jab 2
- Ground Cancel on-hit removed
- Even without the cancel, the move is still quick

Glow effects to her default costumes have been added

Forward Smash
- Angled hitboxes set to end the same way non-angled hitboxes are
Down Air
- Removed the Tube Hitbox that’d hit aerial opponents that were in-between Zelda’s close and faraway hitboxes
Nyaru’s Love
- Momentum removed from the grounded version of the move
- The system changes of 5.0 caused this move, which went completely unchanged, to start functioning weirdly. This is the way we decided on fixing it as it keeps a lot of its utility, especially in the air, while making it a worse approach option and escape tool onstage.

(5.0.5a) Fixed a bug where selecting an expanded stage took you somewhere else
New Stage Striking system implemented
A third page has been added for Stages
Camera Speed on all stages normalized to 1.4
