'''Bayonetta''' ({{ja|ベヨネッタ|Beyonetta}}, ''Bayonetta'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. She was confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018. Bayonetta is classified as fighter #63.

Bayonetta is once again voiced by Hellena Taylor in the English version, using recycled voice clips from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
{{notice|[[SmashWiki is not speculative]]. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.}}

===Aesthetics===
*{{change|As with all [[veteran]]s returning from ''SSB4'', Bayonetta's model features a more subdued color scheme.}}
*{{change|Love is Blue and Scarborough Fair have louder sound effects to distinguish the two.}}
*{{change|Bayonetta's taunts are sped up.}}
*{{change|When the victory screen shows her name, Bayonetta's glasses glint at the edge. While this was present in her victory poses in ''Smash 4'', it only showed for a brief moment.}}

===Attributes===
*{{buff|Like all characters, Bayonetta's [[jumpsquat]] animation now takes three frames to complete (down from 4).}}
*{{buff|Bayonetta [[dash]]es much faster.}}
*{{buff|Bayonetta's bullet arts can now be angled slightly upwards or downwards, depending on the move.}}
*{{nerf|Bayonetta is slightly lighter, now being closer to {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Jab combo connects more reliably.}}
**{{nerf|Jab 1 has less range.}}
*{{nerf|Bayonetta's tilts all have less range.}}
**{{buff|[[Up tilt]]'s grounded hitbox launches opponents at an angle similar to the aerial hitbox, which improves its combo potential.}}
**{{nerf|[[Down tilt]] has slightly more endlag.}}
*{{buff|[[Forward smash]] can now be [[angled]].}}

===Aerial Attacks===
*{{nerf|Held [[neutral aerial]] and [[up aerial]] have increased [[landing lag]].}}
*{{buff|[[Forward aerial]] has less landing lag.}}
**{{buff|All hits of forward aerial have increased damage.}}
**{{nerf|Forward aerial doesn't bounce off of opponents anymore. This means that the first hit of it can no longer combo into [[After Burner Kick]] or [[Witch Twist]] at low to medium percents.}}
*{{buff|Both [[back aerial]] and up aerial have less landing lag.}}
**{{nerf|Back aerial has more ending lag.}}
**{{change|Up aerial deals less damage and its knockback has been reduced substantially. This improves its combo potential but hinders its KO ability.}}
*{{nerf|[[Down aerial]]'s knockback appears to have been lowered.}}
**{{nerf|Down aerial has more landing lag.}}

===Throws/other attacks===
*{{change|Bayonetta's hand now grabs characters using a form of Umbran magic, as seen via a slightly updated animation where she swings her hand around, which is sparkling with a noticeable Umbran purple.}}

===Special moves===
*[[Bullet Climax]]:
**{{nerf|Bullet Climax now needs to be fully charged before it can be shield-cancelled.}}
**{{nerf| Bullet Climax takes slightly longer to fully charge.}}<ref>https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&t=32&v=_me_YpoGBUY</ref>
*[[Heel Slide]] / [[After Burner Kick]]:
**{{nerf|Heel Slide's second hit can't be used if the first hit was blocked by a shield.}}
**{{nerf|If an After Burner Kick collides with a shield, Bayonetta is unable to use another one.}}
**{{nerf|Downwards After Burner Kick can no longer be [[Auto-canceling|autocancelled]].}}
*[[Witch Twist]]:
**{{nerf|Witch Twist has increased startup lag.}}
**{{nerf|Witch Twist can no longer grab the ledge until the move ends or with proper spacing.}}
*[[Witch Time]]:
**{{nerf|Witch Time no longer grants [[intangibility]] when used.}}
**{{nerf|Witch Time's effect duration has been significantly lowered.}}
**{{nerf|Witch Time has increased startup and endlag.}}
**{{change|The screen turns dark whenever someone is affected by Witch Time.}}
**{{change|Witch Time scales with the power of the move it is used on, so using Witch Time on a weaker move such as a jab will result in the effect lasting a much shorter time, or a stronger move such as a smash attack resulting in a longer effect.}}
*[[Final Smash]]:
**{{nerf|When Witch Time is activated, opponents move a little faster, making it easier to dodge her attacks.}}
***{{buff|Due to its change, opponents that used side-step or air dodge during the Final Smash may gain slightly less intangiblity frames.}}
**{{nerf|When not mashing the buttons during [[Infernal Climax]], it gives less damage to opponents.}}
**{{buff|The climax gauge fills up much easier.}}
**{{buff|When the Final Smash ends, it now gives damage to opponents.}}

=={{SSBU|Classic Mode}}: '''The Requiem of Fallen Wings'''==
All of Bayonetta's opponents have wings, in reference to her battles against angels.

Note: When fighting Charizard, its {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}} is absent. Additionally, every stage plays a track from the {{uv|Bayonetta}} universe, no matter what universe the stage originates from.

==Role in [[World of Light]]==
Bayonetta was among the fighters summoned to the cliffside to fight against the army of [[Master Hand]]s.

Bayonetta was present when [[Galeem]] unleashed its beams of light. Bayonetta dodged a beam of light, activating her [[Bat Within]], but she was then vaporized immediately after she reformed her body, and transformed into a spirit alongside the rest of the fighters, excluding {{SSBU|Kirby}}.

==Trivia==
*Bayonetta's official artwork strongly resembles her [[:File:Bayonetta - Bayo2.png|official artwork for ''Bayonetta 2'']], with her arms pointed outwards rather than inwards.
**Likewise, Bayonetta's official artwork based on the first game resembles her official artwork for ''Bayonetta'', only mirrored.
*In the E3 demo build of ''Ultimate'', Bayonetta was able to use Afterburner Kick, Downwards Afterburner Kick, and then gain another Afterburner Kick before landing. [https://twitter.com/SoraKibzu/status/1023587885914759169]
