In this patch it's all about location, location, location. Today we're introducing size variants for a couple of favorite stages, a new place to train, and even a revamped starter stagelist for both competitive singles and doubles. Read on below for the full patch notes.

• The Forest Floor now has a unique variation for 2-player matches.

• Treetop Lodge now has a unique variation for 4-player matches.

• The 1v1 starter (neutral) stagelist is now:

  • Tower of Heaven

  • Merchant Port

  • Aethereal Gates

  • Julesvale

  • The Forest Floor

• The 2v2 starter stagelist is now:

  • Tower of Heaven

  • Merchant Port

  • Aethereal Gates

  • Fire Capital

  • Treetop Lodge

• The Practice Room now replaces the Random stage in practice mode, giving you the option to practice on the grid.

• Bug Fix: Objects on ground (Lily, Puddle, Mobile Gear, etc.) all function normally when placed either on or under a Rock on a moving platform.

• Forward Special can no longer be destroyed by projectiles.

• When cancelling the first 4 frames of double jump into Up Special, Etalus' vertical speed is now set to 0 instantly.
  This prevents Etalus from using the double jump forgiveness mechanic to gain a large amount of height while recovering.

• Grounded Forward Special hitbox extended 18px inward on the first frame.

• Bug Fix: Ranno no longer gets "stuck" in Forward Special when a solid object (like a Rock) blocks the path to his tongue.

• Parried Forward Specials (such as Zetterburn's Fireball) can no longer break your own flowers.

• Flowers will no longer play the "planted" sound effect when they fail to plant (extremely rare now).

• Up Tilt maximum knockback (based on heat) increased. Old range was 7+0.6 - 7+1.1. New range is 7+0.6 - 9+0.9.

• Steam now fades away instead of instantly disappearing.

• Uncharged Forward Special pillar destruction radius decreased fromn 64 > 32.
  This was adjusted because when Elliana's projectiles are destroyed near a pillar, they destroy the pillar, since they don't actually have an explosion hitbox.

• Charged Forward Special will no longer get "stuck" on the ground when hitting it at specific angles.

• Up Tilt linking hits base knockback increased from 2 > 4.

• Up Tilt linking hits angle flipper adjusted from 2 > 9.
  Originally it sent toward Ori's center, now it sends toward the hitbox's center.

• Up Tilt linking hits can no longer cause flinch, even if crouch cancelled.
