[[Masahiro Sakurai]] decided to add Greninja to ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' long before the release of [[bulbapedia:Pokémon X and Y|''Pokémon X'' and ''Y'']], having initially reserved a space on the roster for a brand new Pokémon. Sakurai's only source material for designing the character was concept art of Greninja.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150307075513/http://www.siliconera.com/2014/06/10/super-smash-bros-characters-decided-upon-early-development/ Siliconera: "All The Super Smash Bros.

Greninja is currently ranked 26th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing it in the C tier. Greninja's strengths include very fast overall mobility and great combo potential, most notably with its neutral attack's [[jab cancel]], and its up and down tilts. [[Water Shuriken]] also grants it a decent [[projectile]], which not only has fairly good travel distance, but is also capable of being thrown out for a fast attack or charged up for greater power. Despite these positives, Greninja has a few noticeable negatives. It has unusually high ending lag in its moveset, especially its smash attacks. Substitute is a weak and avoidable [[counterattack]]. Lastly, its grab game is burdened with an abysmal pummel, an overall low damage output, and only two throws whose utility is decent at best. Regardless of these issues, as well as being noticeably nerfed in update [[1.0.4]], Greninja is still viewed as a viable choice for competitive play, thanks to it achieving decent results. | Greninja is currently ranked 26th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing it in the C tier.
