'Super Smash Bros. Ultimate': 50 Gameplay Changes Including Nerfs, Buffs & More

Think that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is loaded to the hilt with stages, tunes and fighters? Well, you're right. But it's also got an abundant amount of changes coming to the gameplay that both veterans of the series and newcomers can easily take advantage of.

A YouTuber by the name of Dragon Smash has uploaded a new video, which you can see above, that details over fifty new character gameplay changes, including a variety of nerds, buffs and additional moves. There's a lot to take in here, even if you don't think your favorite is affected.
