Super Smash Bros Ultimate Update 8.1 has just been deployed and here’s what it does.
Out of nowhere, the brand-new update adds the Small Battlefield Stage to the game for competitive players who prefer a smaller stage in 1vs1 battles. “Battlefield is a bit too large, and Final Destination is a bit too empty, so we designed this to have just two platforms”, Smash director Sakurai writes on Twitter.
Following this update, players are also able to select any stage-specific music for the Battlefield, Small Battlefield, Big Battlefield, and Final Destination stages.
“It’s not another option to change stages into; it’s a standalone stage”, Sakurai writes (as translated by @BoltGSR). “However, we’ve made it so you can select any song from any series to play on it! Feel free to pick your favorite tune from the near-1000 songs available from all sorts of game series.”
突然ですが『スマブラSP』に、”小戦場”を追加しました!
競技シーンでは主流の対戦である1on1をするには、戦場だとちと広い。終点だとちと物足りない。そんな見解から、足場を2枚に調整したステージになります。 pic.twitter.com/d9DIpNYwV9— 桜井 政博 (@Sora_Sakurai) August 5, 2020
In addition, the 8.1 update slightly improves connectivity in 1vs1 games and fixes several issues to improve the gameplay experience.
ところで、1on1オンライン対戦におけるレスポンスが、ちょっとだけ良くなっているかもしれません。
