#JOKER MINIONS NAMES UPDATE#
In update 7.0.0, Joker was among the numerous characters whose shields were enlarged, which decreased his vulnerability to shield stabbing. Despite the loss of this option, it is not enough to eclipse the other buffs that update 3.1.0 granted Joker in the first place. The sheer effectiveness of this technique even saw Sol, a pioneer of Joker's metagame in Persona 5, christen it the "Dreamland Express" as proposed by his Twitch chat.

This gave his neutral attack the ability to combo into itself (via L-canceling), forward smash, grab, or Rebellion Gauge at low to medium percents. Update 3.1.0 introduced an unintentional mechanic that decreased the ending lag of neutral attack's third hit by 10 frames if it was inputted manually. However, update 4.0.0 removed Joker's most useful combo option. Lastly, Joker indirectly benefits from the update's changes to shield damage for projectiles, as they make it somewhat easier for him to handle camping. Rebellion Gauge, Rebel's Guard and uncharged Gun had their ending lag noticeably reduced by varying amounts. Gun received a new hitbox that increased its vertical range, thus allowing its grounded version to hit opponents on Battlefield's low platforms. Back air's range was increased to the point that it is actually on par with Mii Swordfighter's and out-ranges Ike's, while the duration of up smash's L-canceling was increased. Down air connects much better against airborne opponents, which was a notorious flaw that remained unaddressed throughout SSB4's lifespan. Game & Watch's neutral attack are currently the only ones in Ultimate that are capable of Final Smash canceling reliably. Its hits connect better thanks to improved ranges and, more notably, its first and second hits had their ending lag reduced to the point that it and Mr. forward air was heavily improved in three distinct ways. Although update 2.0.0 granted inconsequential buffs to his neutral and up TILT, update 3.1.0 noticeably improved his Air game. JOKER 🃏 has been buffed via game updates.
