Patch 1.4.11 - Change of Scenery

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.
