In the wake of the Pyra/Mythra combination character releasing in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo has released a new update that buffs several characters with reduced vulnerability and less damage with special attacks.
You can look at the full table of changes on the official Nintendo support page, but the majority of the changes allow fighters to not take as much damage with powerful attacks or reduce their vulnerability. Fighters changed include:
LinkCaptain FalconJigglypuffZeldaPichuGanondorfZero Suit SamusWarioDiddy KongKing DededeR.O.B.VillagerLittle MacMii BrawlerMii SwordfighterMii GunnerPalutenaShulkIsabelleJokerHeroBanjo & KazooieBylethMin MinSteve & AlexSephiroth
Rex’s spirit can now be enhanced as part of the update, as well. The hero from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, where Pyra and Mythra also originated, Rex uses personified weapons in battle, and he was already an existing spirit in Smash.
If you have several controllers connected to your Switch, you can disconnect them via other controllers when using the fighter-selection screen. Just press the A button over the player bracket for the controller you’re not using, and it will disappear.
