Nintendo has released a new update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, bumping the Switch game up to Version 13.0.3.
This patch addresses an "online" issue linked to 'Global Smash Power' not returning to the appropriate levels. As usual, there may be compatibility issues with replay data from previous builds of the game in this latest update, so make sure to save them all before performing this update.
Here are the full patch notes, courtesy of Nintendo's official support page:
Latest update: Ver. 13.0.3 (Released October 8, 2024)
Online
Fixed an issue in which Global Smash Power would not return to appropriate levels when the connection was disrupted with specific timing at the end of a match.
Note: There may be compatibility issues with replays from Ver. 9.0.0 to 13.0.2. Replays from Ver. 8.1.0 and earlier are not compatible. If you want to keep your replays, convert them into videos before installing the update. You can do this via Vault → Replays → Replay Data → Convert to Video.
If we hear about anything else going on behind the scenes in this latest update, we'll let you know. This update arrives alongside Version 19.0.0 of the Nintendo Switch firmware this week. You can learn more about this in yesterday's post:

okay but can they actually make an update where you lose GSP for disconnecting because I fight the worst opponents on Quickplay (you can probably tell who I main) and they ragequit and it's all for nothing
looking back its still a shame how butchered the online got in ult. i wish they expanded the for fun/for glory model instead of consolidating every mode you do into GSP, its a very vague metric where the high number doesnt feel like anything
I was hoping that this was the update where they made the Event Spirits from the beginning of the year permanently available…
Can they make an update to make the song only available if you have save data of Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory accessible to anyone who downloads Sora?
The best I can do is to borrow the game from someone (if I can find anyone who owns it) and play enough to make save data of it, boot-up Ultimate to get the song, then return the game and delete it and its save data from rom my Switch.
Why didn’t they nerf Steve!?
@Markiemania95 I checked and I think it did, because the Super Mario Wonder Spirits are available to me now.
@Tyranexx “Blaurhhahhrrhhrrhhh!”
How utterly random to years later release a patch out of nowhere that addresses a problem that doesn't matter in the slightest.
@boxyguy wasn't the high number model specifically to avoid people being put off by a ranking model where lower = better?
GSP lets you compare with others without being discouraged that you're nowhere near the best in the world
@Markiemania95 I think that happened a while ago, man. I missed 1514-1517 when they dropped in January and had to wait until like May for them to show up, but my point is all 1528 spirits should be available on the spirit board now.
@Markiemania95 I missed that event as well but I was able to get those spirits on from the regular Spirit Board a couple weeks ago. They seem to be widely available now, though you might want to stock up on the Shuffle All item as to avoid grinding to get them to show up
Kind of random but still, nice for those who had this issue.
Personally, much happier to hear from comments that most if not all Event Spirits are permanently available with the only caveat being them showing up at random on the Spirit Board (but that's just how Spirits work so it's okay)!
I hope whoever performed this vital and wholly needed supplementary maintenance to this hip and current game was paid well for their endeavour.
Though let's be real we all know this was Sakurai bored at home one evening.
Sakurai broke his game with the later DLC characters and doesn’t take the time to fix it.
@Markiemania95 That was A WHILE AGO.
@Ruler-Of-All-Evil And I’ve had many replies TELLING ME THAT ALREADY. Why are the CAPS necessary?
@Lizuka Just because it doesn't matter to you doesn't mean it doesn't matter at all. I'm sure there are people out there who care that their GSP is accurate.
Still no balance patch for STEVE, as well as perhaps additional balance tweaks in regards to other additional content introduced during Fighters Pass Vol. 2.
RIP smash bros ultimate matches...
@HammerGalladeBro Then do it
Put the Smash Fighter Passes on sale or include them in the NSO Expansion tier Nintendo. That will revitalize the online matches some.
Also add Random to the character select for Online matches & tournaments that makes it a different character each match. That would be fun.
Also also include the Victory Music tunes in the Music Player please, I need to be able to play Cloud’s FF7 Victory theme and/or Sephiroth’s chant music on repeat in custom stages.
Preparations for one Shadow the Hedgehog, obviously.
Come on! It will forever bother me all the crappy copy-pasted characters or the people who actually care about characters like... I'd rather not say names but just look at the finished roster and tell me it doesn't look like a mess of lookalikes and unrecognizable franchises.
Surely, Sakurai should have predicted the year of Shadow. FWIW I will complain about Kazuya now, between Guilty Gear, SF, KoF, DoA, VirtuaFighter and Tekken — Tekken would be last on my list in terms of recognizable games, iconic characters, or general importance.
