Smash Bros. Ultimate 6.0 Update Brings Terry Bogard Along With Big Patch Notes
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is getting even bigger again, with a new fighter and a new patch to come along with him. This update adds Terry Bogard from the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series to the smashing mix, and Nintendo has now released official patch notes with a smattering of other changes and updates.
The patch notes (below) bring a dozen new Spirits to the Vault shop, slips more features to the Battle Arena, and prepares for the upcoming Simon and Incineroar figures, among some other tweaks. There have also been a variety of balance changes to fighters, with adjustments made to Donkey Kong, Kirby, Jigglypuff, Robin, King K. Rool, Incineroar, and Hero. These fighter updates have been given their own dedicated section.
As a fighting game character, Terry largely imitates a move set familiar from his own games, from a parry counter to special cancels. His Final Smash combines three special moves–the Triple Geyser, Power Dunk, and Buster Wolf. The DLC that includes him also includes a number of alternate outfits, as shown in the patch notes below.
The Terry Bogard Challenger Pack is available for $6 a la carte, or as part of the $25 Fighter’s Pack. That pack still has one more fighter to reveal–but Nintendo has already announced that more are on the way afterwards.
