　　Now Playing: Sephiroth References - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

　　Cloud has also received a minor cosmetic tweak, with his Final Smash now triggering Omnislash Ver. 5 instead of a regular Omnislash for P2, P4, P6, and P8 color variants. The effect is the same, with the change being purely aesthetic.

　　Nintendo has also released the list of fighter adjustments added in the new patch--they mostly look to be buffs to various characters, with range increases and tweaks that make regular attacks "easier to hit multiple times." The characters that have been changed include Fox, Luigi, Zelda, Pichu, Young Link, Toon Link, Olimar, Rosalina, Mii Gunner, and Duck Hunt. You can see the full list of tweaks here.

　　Nintendo is currently giving away a free Smash Ultimate item pack for Switch Online subscribers, including a handful of helpful items for the game's Spirit Board mode.
