The following patch notes were taken from Nintendo of America’s support page for Super Smash Bros Ultimate. It doesn’t seem like fans will be too happy to see that Pikachu won’t be receiving any adjustments of any sort. Hopefully, this won’t be the end of the line given that Nintendo is now integrating itself with the eSports scene for Smash.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is out now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
