Super Smash Bros Ultimate Small Battlefield Added in Update 8.1.0

A Super Smash Bros Ultimate Small Battlefield stage has appeared. The third Battlefield is a part of the August 4, 2020 update 8.1.0. Said update also adjusts the music for Battlefield stages and improves the online experience. Specifically, Masahiro Sakurai tweeted and said the online 1v1 might be better.

As you might expect, Super Smash Bros Ultimate Small Battlefield’s title is quite telling. It takes the Battlefield stage and makes it smaller. Also, it, Battlefield, Big Battlefield, and Final Destination can have any of the almost 1,000 songs in the game played while you’re in that stage after the update.
