Ultimate<\/em> <\/strong>(Version 13.0.1) is coming soon, and it will include the &#8220;final fighter adjustments.\u201d As usual, \u201creplay data from previous versions will be incompatible\u201d after the update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The previous update in October (version 13.0.0) brought the last fighter Sora to the roster, and now, it seems like the developers are making the last balance patch for this long-running game. Nintendo has not announced the details of the update, so we will have to wait for the patch notes to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/NintendoEurope\/status\/1465248084561178627\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It has become a custom for Nintendo to send out notice prior to an update since <em>Smash Ultimate<\/em>\u2019s replay data is not compatible between versions. They are giving out a warning beforehand so that players have the time to convert their replay data to video format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official Japanese <em>Smash Bros. <\/em>Twitter account sent out a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SmashBrosJP\/status\/1465123344790040578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">usual reminder tweet<\/a>, but a tweet from Nintendo of Europe used different wordings and included the abovementioned \u201cfinal fighter adjustments\u201d notion.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Smash Ultimate<\/em> has undergone a number of balance patches to achieve a solid balance. Now, it is balanced in a way that gives a shot to a wide variety of fighters. Even the fighters used in offline tournaments are quite varied (see <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20211102-5377\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">related article<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Series director Masahiro Sakurai recently talked about his thought process behind fighter adjustments in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/news\/202111\/15239333.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Famitsu<\/a>, saying that he tries to add weaknesses to fighters instead of taking away their strengths, and that he thinks the current environment is well-balanced.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1397\" height=\"786\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1397px) 100vw, 1397px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211129-183976-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211129-183976-001.jpg 1397w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211129-183976-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211129-183976-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211129-183976-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211129-183976-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211129-183976-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211129-183976-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211129-183976-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211129-183976-001-746x420.jpg 746w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Sakura\u2019s beliefs about balance adjustments are probably reflected in the current competitive environment to some extent. Many of the fighters have a chance to win, because each of them has its own strengths and weaknesses. The next update is going to be the last one, likely because the game\u2019s balance is already in a good place. Lesser and lesser adjustments are being made with each update, so I wonder if the next update will follow this trend as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the previously mentioned Famitsu interview, Sakurai expressed that he\u2019s not thinking about making a sequel, at least for now. He hasn\u2019t been successful in training his successor either, and he added that if the series were to continue, Sakurai and Nintendo must first discuss how to make it work. With so much uncertaintly, the next update may be monumental, not only for <em>Smash Ultimate<\/em>, but also for the series as a whole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Super Smash Bros.
