[1.1.6] Final Patch?

Now that 1.1.6, most likely the final balance patch, has been released, I believe that the Smash 4 metagame will be able to move towards solidifying. It will be interesting to see what characters will make a push to claim the top tier ranks.

What makes me believe this is the last update? The fact that they only modified Bayonetta makes me think that the balance team thought she was the only thing in need of adjustment, and since the game has been out for almost 2 years now, the team is also likely ready to be done with the production of this game.

In my opinion, I find it amazing that they continued to do balance patches this far into the game’s life, it shows that the team really cares about the overall balance of the game, at not only a casual, but competitive level as well.

The wild ride is most likely finished, but now the fun part begins.
