This is a list of known changes in version 3.0.0 of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Universal[edit]
The new update brings new features on the general gameplay side:
Perfect shields will no longer activate multiple times when the shield button is released once. This reduces its downtime, but makes multihit attacks harder to perfect shield, as each hit needs to be manually perfect shielded.- In Training Mode, perfect shielding against a projectile grants 3 more frames of advantage. This has been properly applied to normal gameplay in 9.0.0.
The value for "dodges refresh one level after X time of the last-used dodge's interruptibility" is now 1 second (from 0.5 seconds), so dodging can only be done once a second without penalty rather than twice.
Stun Jacket has been removed.
Created glitch where electric hitboxes have increased hitlag in training mode.
- Fixed a visual glitch on the Acorn Plains layout Mushroom Kingdom U where looking at two clouds from a lower angle will cause the one on front to overlap the other in a transparent sheet.
- Removed a layer inside the platforms on Kalos Pokémon League which caused some textures and model fragments to become transparent when looking at certain characters.
- Fixed a visual glitch on Pilotwings which caused some models to clip through the screen.
- Fireball deals less shield damage (0 → -2.5/-2 (clean/late).
At the start of Mario Finale, nearby opponents will be slowed down more (10 → 20) for a longer period (60 frames → 75).
- Giant Punch has more range (5u → 6.5u), no longer missing opponents up close.
- Boomerang deals less shield damage (0 → -4,5/-3/-1.5 (clean/late/returning)).
- Charge Shot deals significantly less shield damage (0 → -2.5 (uncharged); 3 → -7 (fully charged).
- Samus no longer launches herself off screen when grab and Bomb occur at the same time.
- However, the phantom knockback would still occur at the exact frame of the hitbox and the explosion.
- Created visual glitch where Samus’s tether grab beam would disconnect from her arm when performed in the air before landing.
- Charge Shot deals significantly less shield damage (0 → -2.5 (uncharged); 3 → -7 (fully charged).
- Dark Samus no longer launches herself off screen when grab and Bomb occur at the same time.
- However, the phantom knockback would still occur at the exact frame of the hitbox and the explosion.
- Created visual glitch where Dark Samus's tether grab beam would disconnect from her arm when performed in the air before landing.
- Up smash's clean hit has a longer duration, with the late hit having a shorter duration instead (frame 12 (strong)/13-14 (mid)/15-17 (late) → 12-14/15-16/17).
- Neutral aerial has less ending lag (FAF 63 → 55) and auto-cancels earlier (frame 56 → 51).
- The first 9 hits of down throw deal more damage (0.8% → 1%, total: 10.2% → 12%).
- Inhale
- Kirby dies later when performing a Kirbycide with Inhale, though he still dies first (distance from the blastzone: (-10 → -4). This gives the opponent less time to recover after Kirby is KO'd.
- Kirby cannot lose Copy Abilities received by Inhale for a longer period of time (5 seconds → 10).
- Kirby is less likely to lose Copy Abilities when getting hit (Chance to lose: Damage Received/70 * 1.3 → Damage Received/70).
- Fixed multiple Inhale Glitches:
- Fixed a visual glitch where Kirby would retain parts of Metal status with Wii Fit Trainer.
- Fixed a visual glitch where Kirby’s Bandana from Snake would move during the camera view of each frame.
- Opponents now properly gain intangibility when caught by Inhale; previously opponents would become stuck in a hitstun during Inhale.
- Removed Infinite floating glitch that occurs when Kirby uses multiple copied Mii Swordfighter's Gale Strikes in the air after perfoming a throw that left him in the air.
- Removed Gliding glitch when Kirby uses a copied and B-reversed Mii Swordfighter's Gale Strike while running.
- Final Cutter can snap to the ledge earlier (frame 36 → 33).
- Thunder Jolt deals less shield damage (1 → -2.5/-2/-1.5/-1 (grounded, clean/mid/late), -1.9 (aerial)).

- Up smash and down smash are automatically unleashed from charging state earlier (charge hold: 60 frames → 30) and hit less often while charging (rehit rate: 3 → 4).
- PK Flash has more range ( Size multiplier: 0.9×-1.7× → 1.05×-1.8×).
- The physics of Ness' yo-yo string are stiffer. This improves the consistency of up smash and down smash at the ledge.
- Puff Up has a stronger pushbox while growing (FKB: 40 → 75).
- Toad no longer stalls continuously in the air after the first use.
- The launch angles of Peach Parasol's multihits have been adjusted, preventing scenarios where the opponent would be launched at a great distance when hit from the ledge.
- Vegetable deals less shield damage (0 → -2.5).
- Peach Blossom has a slightly reduced sleep time period (clean: 260/200/160 (scaling) → 230/130/100, late: 210/170/140 (scaling) → 200/130/100).
- The animations for Peach's ledge attack and swinging animation have been adjusted.
- Toad no longer stalls continuously in the air after the first use.

- Vegetable's knockback values have been adjusted (30 (base), 35 (scaling) → 25/45), making it identical to Peach's variant. This improves its combo potential at lower percents, and its KOing and gimping potential at higher ones.
- However, this limits the move's combo potential at higher percents.
- Vegetable deals less shield damage (0 → -2.5).
- Daisy Blossom has a slightly reduced sleep time period (clean: 260/200/160 (scaling) → 230/130/100, late: 210/170/140 (scaling) → 200/130/100).

- Needle Storm charges 1.2x faster, reaching its full charge more quickly (98 frames → 82).
- Changes to shield mechanics make charged Needle Storm much harder to perfect shield, as each needle must be manually perfect shielded.

- Super Sheet no longer puts opponents into hitstun during ledge return vulnerability, increasing his combo potential.
- At the start of Doctor Finale, nearby opponents will be slowed more (10 → 20), and for longer (60 frames → 85).
- Thunder Jolt deals less shield damage (1 → -3/-2.5/-2 (grounded, clean/mid/late), -4.5 (aerial)).
- Pichu's aerial hitstun and landing animations have been changed so its body does not shift as much, which causes certain multihit attacks (e.g. Dancing Blade, Peach's dash attack, Shulk's forward smash and more) to connect more reliably against it.
- The grounded-only grabbox of dash grab was made bigger (2.6u → 3.0u) and placed higher (Y offsets: 7.0 → 7.25). This notably prevents it from missing a shielding R.O.B..

- This means true follow-ups with this application (such as back aerial) are no longer possible.

The value for "dodges refresh one level after X time of the last-used dodge's interruptibility" is now 1 second (from 0.5 seconds), so 
Stun Jacket has been removed.
At the start of
