Here's the full patch notes.

The following changes were made in version 1.2.0

Offline Gameplay

Adjusted difficulty of approaching challengers

Online Gameplay

When matchmaking in Quickplay, the Format setting of your Preferred Rules will be more highly prioritized. This may cause matchmaking to take more time, and there's still no guarantee that you'll find a match that has your exact Preferred Rules.

Increased the stability of the synchronous connection with Battle Arenas.

Misc.

Game balance adjustments.

Various gameplay fixes.

The fighters that had specific adjustments are listed below.

Adjusted Fighters: Donkey Kong, Link, Kirby, Luigi, Ice Climbers, Young Link, Olimar, Toon Link, Villager, Greninja, PAC-MAN, Duck Hunt, and Isabelle.

They were either weak as fuck or overpowered.

Like, when I was challenged by Mega Man, Robin, Shulk, Olimar, Ganondorf, and Incineroar, I stomped then.

When I was challenged by Captain Falcon, Wii Fit Trainer, Dr Mario, Falco, and Meta Knight, they wrecked my shit the first one or two times.

because losing means you have to wait for that character to cycle back around again before you get a chance to unlock them

Captain Falcon probably whooped my ass in 10 seconds flat.

Personally I think that rematch option should always be there. That's about it for me though.

I do get how it would be frustrating to newcomers or people not that good at the game.

Oh yeah. My first match against him was brutal. Nothing I did worked. He was blocking, dodging, and parrying everything perfectly and knocking me around the ring. I barely touched him before he KOd me.

I think I used Bayonetta to get Captain Falcon after losing to him the first time.

One I struggled the most with was Ike funnily enough. Took me three times to beat him.

It definitely felt like the CPU was a higher level than it should have been, considering that often you face new challengers with characters that aren't your main.

More importantly, a lot of them are fought on absolutely bullshit stages.

I nearly lost to Shulk. Only reason I won was because Metal Head attack hit him before me.
I barely even touched Richter before losing.

tbh WoL isn't the greatest way to unlock them

That shit is kinda long and you don't get characters like K. Rool, Lucina and Roy until the game is almost over

It's way better since you know you won't have to wait for another chance.

It's not way better if you're a main of any of those endgame characters

Also, none of the WoL fights are challenging

The sweet satisfaction of getting them makes it worth it and unless you are specifically talking about the fighters, I want some of that Kool-Aid you're sipping on.

The funny thing is that if patches were around for Melee it would not have a competitive scene today. All the glitches that make high level Melee play would be patched out as they were discovered.

I lost to about 5 characters, among them, Jigglypuff. I've never felt so ashamed. The rematches were much easier though. And I unlocked everyone before the patch came out.

I got everyone unlocked with maybe 4-5 losses overall? I'm by no means a smash expert but it's really not that hard. Shame this generation has to have everything handed to them.

Are there any details on what was fixed like buffs/nerfs or anything like that?

I don't really see how slugging it out for several hours is better, esp when you barely have anyone for the first half

Easy. You actually get the chance to use these fighters instead of rushing towards what you're familiar with.

Approaching Challengers/AI in general felt like arcade cab style difficulty, where the game absolutely forces a loss (I had K Rool at fucking 200% and fully chatged attacks wouldnt knock him, yet he bodied my shit at like 70%) and dole out victories piecemeal, just enough to keep you hooked.

Pissed they seem to have nerfed Olimar tho

Captain Falcon probably whooped my ass in 10 seconds flat.

Captain Falcon also got to an extremely high damage% yet nailed me around 50%. I had to just spam with Marth to beat him and even then I just barely scraped by.

Red Pikmin were immune to Simon's fire but not Richter's, they might have buffed Olimar.
