Nintendo has announced that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be updated to Version 9.0.1 this week.
This follows on from last week's major update which added the new Minecraft character DLC and Mii Outfits. It also made various game-balance adjustments and fixed several issues to improve the gameplay experience.
Version 9.0.1 is a minor update in comparison and will include some fighter adjustments. Maybe some fixes for Steve?
In addition to this, Nintendo has announced a new online tournament. It'll start this Friday and runs for a total of three days. Only fighters who are skilled with tools can participate. Here's the Minecraft promotional artwork featuring Steve:

all want is a Puff Buff then I would be happy.
Please let it fix the horrible way the game selects random music throughout all the available tracks, for Final Destination and Battlefield. As it stands, the My Music adjustments for those stages mean absolutely nothing. I don't want say, Environmental Noises having a chance to play on an unfitting stage but also don't want to block it's chances on Pikmin stages.
@Coach_A WHAT?! GREAT GAME WHATS IN THE UPDATE DUDE!!!
Time to forget to save my recordings again!
@LatsaSpege sadly I think puff is well balanced... if only... puff is one of my favorites.
@Ghostchip you know, just THE ENDING.
No big deal. It's not like the early access game the site reviewed is now finally finished
@LatsaSpege maybe Kirby downB can break shields again like it did in previous titles
@Coach_A Cool! Awesome game I played for a while! Took forever to get that sword ninja guy
@Ghostchip New, awesome survivor was added and several items were reworked. Most notably, new bleed stacks refresh old ones now.
Make incin faster
Fix all the bugs that softlocke steeve
One fix ness two fix steve bug, three plz don't nerf steve he is only broken cuz ppl are smart and can build fast!, and fore buff kirby for the love of god plzzzzz!
Guessing it's a fix for the Steve stage bug and possibly to adjust the...unfortunately angled victory screen.
@Coach_A You can Contact NintendoLife about it through the "Contact" tab near the bottom of the site, you can submit news tips to them through there.
I don't get how they manage to break video playback with every update. You would reckon they would have fixed this a long time ago, or if it is just a bug inherent in the code or assembly method, what makes the bug unpatchable?
@Kehkou it’s not a bug or anything breaking. These replays are not videos, they’re performed in-game by recreating the battles; if anything about the game changes, then the replays would be incorrect or unpredictable in a newer version.
I hope they don’t buff Ness, JigglyPuff, Metaknight or Kirby. Maybe they’re just a bad matchup for my main, but I feel like I always get cheesed.
I think Kirby needs more follow-up lag on his up-special, etc.
@Eel If that's the case, that's just shoddy design. Either they should be encoded (something the Switch can do as background, i.e. screen record), or if they are hung on the inefficient idea of real time calculation as opposed to simple video playback, updates should auto convert the videos.
Thank you Eel for clearing that up!
@Kehkou
What I don't understand is why replays can't be automatically converted into video to begin with.
@Franklin Exactly... The Switch can do this very easily. Someone at the N dropped the ball for sure.
@Franklin To save on storage.
They need to have an update were they give Daisy and Lucina their own movesets
@Coach_A Will you shut up, man?
@Kehkou Because videos take up a lot of space. Smash’s replays only use a minimal amount of data by comparison
@TheAwesomeBowser If you don't like it why not mute him? That's why the button is there lol.
@LzWinky This makes sense. A setting to choose the save format or a prompt to convert all replays on every update seems then to be the best solution.
And I'd expect Steve to be stupidly overpowered even with the glitch fixed.
I'm sure they'll fix some weird Steve stuff. Wondering if they'll remove his instant shield break.
I'd love to see more character buffs, since 9.0 was light on buffs and several characters still need them, but I'm not crossing my fingers.
@Ryan_Again They just buffed Ness, so that's not happening. Puff, Kirby, and to a lesser degree MK all need buffs, though. It's called cheese for a reason. If your opponent is chasing you, then play around it. In my experience people who cheese can't deal with opponents who don't take the bait.
you know maybe we could get some marth or pit buffs 0.0
@Giran0 Lucina is just different enough from Marth to make sense as a character. I agree with you on Daisy, echo fighters shouldn’t be a simple skin change like Daisy is for Peach.
@AlexanderDaniels Yeah man, I've actually contacted Nintendo Support about it. They said they've never heard of this issue and will present it to higher ups, but I doubt it
