Patch 13.0.5 has released for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate but fans aren't particularly happy about it...
Key Points:
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate received patch 13.0.5, which fixed issues related to invalid data being sent or received during online battles.
- The update is believed to target the unofficial Delay Mod, which removed the game's intentional input latency to improve online responsiveness.
- The Delay Mod gave users an unfair advantage over players not using the mod, causing frustration particularly among Japanese players due to strict anti-modding laws.
- After the Delay Mod creator was doxed and ceased development, many players continued using the mod, prompting complaints and likely influencing Nintendo's decision to address it in the latest patch.
- Patch 13.0.5 appears to have rendered the Delay Mod unusable in online play, aiming to restore fairness in competitive matches.
