Editing Brawl-/Character changes

{{cleanup|Post-split}}

*{{buff|His up aerial, down aerial, dash, and crouching animation have armor.  He will tank weak attacks during these instances and be unflinchable.}}

*{{buff|Dash attack has super armor and propels Bowser farther, giving it more reach.}}

*{{change|First hit of down tilt has a chance of tripping the opponent.}}

*{{buff|Super armor on his forward smash (including charge), with forward and backward dodge cancels, simulating a Street Fighter "Focus Attack".}}

*{{buff|[[Fire Breath]] removed, now replaced with Royal Rampage on the ground and Galactic Crusher in the air.}}

**{{buff|Royal Rampage: Bowser performs a Running Bear Grab. Bowser will gain [[super armor]] and walk forward until he either grabs an opponent or after 3 stomps. Grabbing the opponent results in an alternate grab state with alternate throws.}}

***{{buff|Down throw: "Discus toss". Bowser slams the opponent on the ground. The opponent can [[tech]] the move like with {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s down throw.}}

**{{buff|Galactic Crusher: Bowser spins around in the air and gains [[super armor]]. If a foe is in range, they will be grabbed and piledriven into the ground, resulting in a powerful explosion and massive knockback. Functions as a sort of [[Counterattack|counter]].}}

*{{buff|[[Bowser Bomb]]'s falling speed is decreased by half if the special move button is held. Grounded startup can be canceled into aerials or jump.}}

*{{buff|Down tilt hits opponents weakly behind Captain Falcon.}}

*{{buff|Up smash has greater range in front of Falcon.}}

*{{buff|A clean Knee Smash is stronger and can be done on any part of its initial hitbox.}}

*{{buff|Back throw now meteor smashes.}}

*{{buff|[[Falcon Punch]] hits the foe four times with massive knockback on the final hit, gives Captain Falcon forward momentum, and can instantly break shields if not [[perfect shield]]ed.}}

**{{nerf|Falcon Punch has drastically increased hitlag, allowing an opponent to perfect shield all four hits or even roll out of the way after the first perfect shielded hit.}}

*{{buff|[[Falcon Kick]] is a multi-hitting attack, and restores his midair jump when used in the air. Grounded Falcon Kick also travels further, and is jump cancelable near the end of the move for follow up combos.}}

*{{change|By quickly inputting up taunt, down taunt, up taunt, he can perform a special "power up" taunt, and successfully completing it without interruption will cause the next Falcon Punch he uses to be much faster in start-up; however, the weaker hitboxes are much smaller, leaving opponents to be mostly hit by the main hitbox. In the power up taunt, Captain Falcon moves like in his up taunt, but the flames around him gradually get bigger and have a flash effect, and he says "show me, show me, show me your moves!".}}

*{{buff|Has two additional [[midair jump]]s.}}

*{{buff|[[Glide]] attack has a fire effect, and is much stronger with additional graphics.}}

*{{nerf|His gliding mechanics have been adjusted.  He can no longer go up during his glide.  He glides exclusively between 270 and 360 degrees. Flying straight down builds speed.}}

*{{buff|[[Dash attack]] propels Charizard farther.}}

*{{buff|Can instantly glide any time by performing an aerial down special.}}

*{{buff|Forward aerial is now "Heat Wave". Range of the flames is massively increased, all hitboxes flinch, and the final hit causes average knockback.}}

*{{buff|Neutral aerial is now "Fire Spin". Sweetspot is enlarged, speed is increased, and additional [[flame]] effects have been added.}}

*{{buff|[[Rock Smash]] is interruptible during start-up lag by [[shield]]ing, a grab, or an air dodge. It also leaves behind rock particles that damage upon being contacted with, known as "Stealth Rock".}}

*{{change|Knockback on forward and down tilts are now set, and are extremely weak.}}

*{{buff|Diddy Kong can go off ledges when he does his dash attack. Doing so turns it into a neutral aerial immediately upon going off the ledge.}}

*{{buff|Forward smash can be interrupted into a shield between the first and second hits.  Links with a grab.}}

*{{buff|Holding B while performing an aerial move will make Diddy pull out a throwable peanut.}}

*{{buff|The explosion from when the [[Peanut Popgun]] is charged too long now produces a very powerful, damaging hitbox.}}

*{{buff|[[Monkey Flip]] given armor.}}

*{{buff|Rocketbarrel Boost is attack cancelable, doesn't render Diddy Kong [[helpless]], and cancels into Monkey Flip. Diddy can use his double jump after his up special.}}

*{{buff|Dash attack propels Donkey Kong farther as well as being much stronger and sending opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}

*{{change|Forward smash produces a wind effect.}}

*{{change|Neutral aerial has a sourspot that very weakly hits opponents towards Donkey Kong.}}

*{{buff|Forward aerial now buries foes on the ground if the attack is sweetspotted.  This also sends Donkey Kong up a small amount.}}

===Special moves===

*{{buff|[[Giant Punch]] charges faster when Donkey Kong is airborne, and it no longer leaves him helpless if used when airborne. Holding the special button sends him forward a little. Charge can be cancelled with air dodge or shield.}}

*{{buff|[[Headbutt]]'s startup is cancelable into anything.  This is used to halt his aerial momentum and attack.}}

*{{buff|[[Spinning Kong]] gives Donkey Kong a slight push upwards right when the move ends and leaves him helpless.}}

*{{buff|Pulls [[Barrel]]s if [[Down special move|down special]] is held instead of pressed, but the Barrels will disappear quickly. They also no longer explode.}}

===Taunts===

*{{buff|Side taunt heals Donkey Kong at a slow rate, for a total of 5% if it is completed without interruption.}}

*{{change|Down taunt can be interrupted at any time by any attack and can be performed in mid-air with an aerial Hand Slap.}}

*{{change|The height of his midair jump has been decreased, but has been given two additional midair jumps.}}

*{{buff|Forward smash produces a damaging wind hitbox and is much stronger.}}

*{{buff|Down aerial always meteor smashes when landed, as well as being stronger when sweetspotted.}}

 

*{{change|Lasers from his up, back, and down throw deal less damage, but Falco shoots more of them. These lasers are also affected by the laser slowdown.}}

*{{buff|[[Falco Phantasm]] has additional graphics, hits with more power and hitlag, and does not cause helplessness, though Falco falls a noticeable distance after aerial use before he can jump or use another attack. The ground version can be jump canceled at the end, while the air version can be interrupted into a wall jump if possible.}}

*{{buff|[[Reflector]] now draws foes towards Falco and has additional graphics. This happens when the reflector is pulled back towards him. It retains its normal hitbox going outwards. Is cancelable into non-special moves on hit.}}

*{{buff|[[Fire Bird]]'s fire radius and hitboxes have been increased significantly in size. The charge time has increased but it travels much farther and with much greater velocity. His Final Smash SFX, "Personally, I prefer the air!", is also added during his charging time with the last two words being replaced by "Fire!" from a regular Fire Bird.}}

*{{change|Like Fox, when using his Final Smash, he controls [[Master Hand]] instead of a [[Landmaster]] tank.}}

 

*{{buff|Falco can switch between laser speeds using up taunt.}}

*{{buff|If a direction is held on the [[control stick]]/[[C-Stick]]/[[directional pad|D-Pad]] while [[Air dodge|air dodging]], the air dodge physics become like those in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|''Melee'']]. This allows Fox to [[wavedash]] and perform his shine combos. His ''Brawl'' air dodge is performed by not touching the control stick.}}

*{{change|Can slide off ledges by crouching while while walking or dashing.}}

*{{buff|Dash attack can be cancelled into any attack except another dash attack.}}

*{{buff|Down smash slides Fox forward significantly when used during a dash.}}

*{{buff|Back aerial has much more duration, behaving more like his back aerial from ''Melee''.}}

*{{buff|Up throw can be canceled into a jump approximately thirty frames in.}}

*{{buff|Down throw meteor smashes opponents onto the ground, like it did in ''Melee''.}}

*{{buff|Grounded [[Reflector]] can be cancelled via jump, similar to how it could be in ''Melee''. Reflector also has a larger hitbox.}}

*{{buff|[[Fox Illusion]] can be interrupted by anything other than another Fox Illusion. Holding the special button causes the move to become slower and multi hit.  At this time, also becomes sheild cancelable.  Links with a grab if done this way.}}

*{{change|When using his Final Smash, [[Landmaster]], he controls [[Master Hand]] instead of a Landmaster tank.}}

*{{change|Pressing B during his up taunt executes [[Fire Fox]] after it ends.}}

*{{buff|Up tilt has less start-up, damaging hitboxes dealing 1% per tick on the vacuum, and now produces a near-full screen earthquake hitbox dealing 20% damage.}}

*{{buff|Dash attack has [[launch resistance|super armor]]. Additionally, holding A during the dash will cause Ganondorf to perform a low knockback [[Gerudo Dragon]], creating follow-ups at the cost of super armor.}}

*{{buff|Neutral aerial goes from first kick to second kick extremely quickly, and links properly. If the first kick connects, Ganondorf will kick the foe four times.}}

*{{buff|Forward aerial has drastically less ending and landing lag, longer range, and now auto-cancels in a short hop.}}

*{{change|Neutral aerial's 4th kick and forward aerial produces a darkness effect. Back aerial produces an electric effect.}}

*{{buff|All grabs are faster and have drastically more reach.}}

*{{buff|Pummel deals 6% damage, being one of the highest damaging pummels in the game.}}

*{{buff|[[Warlock Punch]] is drastically more powerful, now dealing 666% damage (a reference to [[wikipedia:666_(number)|the number of the beast]]) and is essentially guaranteed to [[OHKO]] (dealing upwards of 80000 mph worth of [[knockback]]). Holding the special button fires the "Gandouken", a ranged wave of darkness that travels very fast, covers nearly half of Final Destination, and is more powerful the closer the opponent is to Ganondorf. Neither the punch itself nor the Gandouken can be shielded. An aerial Warlock Punch is interruptible if it hits.}}

*{{buff|Airborne [[Wizard's Foot]] always spikes, buries grounded opponents, restores Ganondorf's midair jump, and ends sooner. Grounded Wizard's Foot is drastically stronger, KOing under 100%, and travels at a faster rate. It also has brief invincibility on frame 6, excluding Ganondorf's arm and shoulder.}}

*{{buff|[[Flame Choke]] covers much more distance at a faster speed when used on the ground, and no longer makes Ganondorf helpless if he goes offstage using it or when he uses it in the air. The grounded version has less ending lag when landed. The airborne version has much more forward momentum when landed as well as burying opponents upon landing on the ground. Pressing A during the grab of the air version executes an explosive throw akin to Dark Dive with vertical knockback, allowing the option to prevent "Ganoncide".}}

*{{buff|[[Dark Dive]] throw is drastically stronger and spikes opponents, making it extremely risky to edge-guard. Uppercut hitbox at the end of Dark Dive has also underwent a drastic increase in power and hitlag, dealing 26% damage and being capable of KOing under 60%.}}

*{{buff|The partner can no longer SD and must be in hitstun to be truly KOed. If he/she fails a recovery and touches the bottom blast line, a KO explosion will not happen, and using [[Belay]] will bring back the partner.}}

 

*{{nerf|Down smash has less hitboxes, and deals dramatically less damage.}}

*{{buff|Both Climbers can now meteor smash with their forward aerial.}}

*{{buff|The Climbers now have horizontal control when using their down aerial, while falling at a slower speed when using it. It also now has stronger, horizontal knockback.}}

*{{buff|Leader's forward throw sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}

*{{nerf|[[Chain throw]]s are no longer possible, as the partner cannot grab.}}

*{{buff|[[Ice Shot]]s increase in size when traversing the ground instead of decreasing.}}

*{{buff|[[Squall Hammer]] is able to be cancelled by a shield grab (R + A) or a standing grab (Z). (This is unlike Pit's Angel Ring that is cancelled by shielding and may lead into a grab.) In the air, the leader can cancel Squall Hammer into an aerial, but the partner cannot.}}

*{{buff|It is now possible to move while using [[Blizzard]]. It also no longer freezes.}}

*{{buff|Wind effect added to the end of all his smashes.}}

*{{buff|Wind effect added to the charging of his forward smash, and landing the tip of the Ragnell no longer produces a sourspot hitbox.}}

*{{buff|Neutral aerial has significantly less aerial ending lag, no longer resulting in accidental SDs when Ike is pushed off stage when trying to jab or shield grab.}}

*{{buff|When Ike lands while using his forward aerial, it produces a small wind effect.}}

*{{buff|Up aerial propels Ike upwards slightly when the attack button is held.}}

*{{buff|Aether heals Ike a small amount and has radically more knockback growth.}}

*{{buff|[[Quick Draw]] can be canceled by any input (including another Quick Draw), the attack doesn't make Ike helpless, and can be used multiple times while airborne without landing.}}

*{{buff|The charging of [[Eruption]] can be cancelled by shielding. It can additionally be charged indefinitely, but Ike will slowly take damage if he holds it for too long.}}

*{{change|"I fight for my friends!" SFX replaces "Prepare yourself!" SFX on side taunt.}}

*{{buff|Up smash, up aerial, and down aerial produce a larger explosion with a larger hitbox. They also have additional sourspot hitboxes added that cause varying effects. Up smash sourspots stuns opponents similar to the paralyzer effect, up aerial sourspots causes a flower effect (though sweetspotting it produces a flower effect as well), and down aerial sourspots have a random chance of putting opponents to [[sleep]].}}

*{{buff|Down smash is much stronger.}}

*{{buff|New aerial down special: Leaf Storm. Ivysaur creates a tornado of leaves down-forward, dealing 35% damage with high knockback. However, it has a long duration and renders Ivysaur helpless afterwards. Hits through stage elements, such as ledges and platforms.}}

*{{buff|Ivysaur spins its leaves during [[Bullet Seed]], producing additional hitboxes on its side. This also causes it to behave like a helicopter when used in the air, slightly pushing Ivysaur upward, and allowing it to move from side to side at will. However, the helicopter effect only occurs once per being airborne, and Ivysaur must land after using Bullet Seed for the helicopter effect to take effect again while airborne. If used on the ground, Ivysaur can still move left and right, but does not float up. Aerial version cancels into up special and air dodge.}}

*{{buff|[[Razor Leaf]] deals twice as much damage, and has a random chance of producing a critical Razor Leaf that deals four times as much damage, with high knockback and hitlag.}}

*{{buff|Has 10 midair jumps instead of 5.}}

*{{buff|The size of Jigglypuff's shield has been greatly increased, being more than twice its original size. Upon its shield being broken, a massive explosion will accompany the [[shield jump]], which will hit opponents right next to the explosion for 100% with extreme horizontal knockback, instantly [[OHKO]]ing any opponent caught directly in the explosion. Opponents a little further away will be hit for only 25% with dramatically less knockback.}}

*{{buff|Down tilt slides Jigglypuff forward, while sending opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}

*{{buff|Forward smash covers much more distance, giving it much more [[reach]], and it is stronger.}}

*{{buff|Down Smash has a vacuum effect on its charge animation.}}

*{{buff|Up air now hits foes forward and below it. Will chain together.}}

*{{buff|Down aerial propels it downwards and is able to be attack cancelled into her aerials.}}

*{{buff|The range of [[Sing]] has been greatly increased, and the opponent(s) stay asleep for longer.}}

*{{buff|[[Rollout]] can be interrupted by anything if it hits, including a natural combo into Rest if timed properly.  Also cancels into anything while it is turning around. Is able to be jump cancelled after it is launched, but only if Jigglypuff is in the air.}}

*{{buff|[[Pound]] travels slightly further, and produces a spark at the end, which upon contact damages the opponent with an [[Electric|electrical]] effect with dramatic hitlag, while sending them on a [[semi-spike]] trajectory.}}

*{{buff|[[Rest]] is much stronger, has less ending lag (Jigglypuff wakes up sooner), and recovers damage at a moderate rate while Jigglypuff is asleep, for a total of 15% if Jigglypuff wakes up without interruption. If Rest connects with a foe, Jigglypuff heals an additional 10%, totaling at a 25% heal. Does side taunt after Rest automatically, but it's able to be cancelled into anything.}}

*{{buff|Side taunt allows Jigglypuff to move while she is spinning, and if completed without interruption, she will use "gravity", which inflicts slight damage and slightly spikes foes near her.}}

*{{buff|Down taunt produces a windbox that blows foes away from her.}}

*{{buff|Up and down aerials propel Dedede slightly upward when used.}}

*{{buff|[[Waddle Dee Toss]] has become far more varied in direction and power. Dedede can choose to throw forward, vertically in the air, or almost straight down. He can do a tilt throw that covers barely any distance, or a smash throw that can traverse the entire stage. Up to four minions can be on the stage at once per Dedede. Gordos will also not hit the minions, leaving only his opponents vulnerable.}}

*{{change|[[Inhale]] has been remapped to be his down special, removing [[Jet Hammer]] in the process. The vacuum does damage, and can get an opponent stuck in their shield unless the opponent [[SDI]]s away.}}

*{{buff|Kirby also has two dash attacks. Tapping the button produces the normal attack, while pressing it down results in Kirby shooting forward like a ball of fire (the Burning power in the ''Kirby'' games, which was also his dash attack in ''Melee''). This alt dash attack sends him far, but doesn't send him offstage. Holding the A button after the attack will keep Kirby spinning while retaining a body covering.}}

*{{buff|Kirby spins faster when he uses his neutral aerial, and it has much less ending lag.}}

*{{buff|Kirby moves faster after swallowing someone with [[Inhale]]. Opponents spat out with Inhale will have downwards momentum.}}

**{{buff|[[Chef]] cannot cause self-damage.}}

**{{nerf|Kirby cannot store [[Eruption]]'s charge nor can he enter No Sympathy mode; he executes it shortly after full charge.}}

**{{change|Copies [[Fire Breath]] and [[Inhale]] instead of Royal Rampage/Galactic Crusher and DDDcree. Dedede's Inhale's changes still apply to Kirby upon copying.}}

*{{buff|[[Final Cutter]] can move slightly farther horizontally. When on the ground, holding down on the control stick right before the jumping part of the move skips to the projectile-shooting part. It is also possible to cancel out of the move before the projectile-shooting part.}}

*{{buff|When rolling forward, if Link holds A, he can attack out of his roll.}}

*{{buff|All smashes are stronger and faster. Forward Smash is now Link's Jump Strike from ''Twilight Princess''.}}

*{{buff|His Forward Smash can be canceled into the Ending Blow if B is pressed while charging.}}

*{{buff|Up and back throws are stronger, with the latter sending opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}

*{{buff|[[Hero's Bow]] now shoots fire and bomb arrows randomly (older versions have also randomly-generated ice and electric arrows as well). Fire arrows produce a fire effect with strong horizontal knockback. Bomb arrows also produce a fire effect, but with strong vertical knockback instead.}}

*{{buff|[[Spin Attack]] gains significantly more vertical and horizontal distance when used for recovering, greatly increasing its recovery capabilities. The initial grounded strike and final airborne strike are also much stronger with noticeable hitlag. "Hyaahh!" SFX added to final airborne strike when landed. Grounded Spin Attack has also gained Great Spin property (charging it considerably increases range).}}

*{{buff|[[Bomb]]s can be thrown faster and further, while having much more knockback, giving them KOing capability. There is also a random chance of Link pulling a [[Deku Nut]] when he attempts to a pull a bomb. As a result, Link throws normal [[items]] faster, further, and stronger.}}

*{{buff|Maximum [[Aura]] power ratio increased to 280, achieved at a new maximum damage cap of 300% damage.}}

*{{change|Forward smash is a multi-hitting attack.}}

*{{buff|Neutral aerial has more hitboxes, producing varying knockback trajectories, including one that sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}

*{{buff|[[Aura Sphere]] is larger, and uncharged to barely charged Aura Spheres follow a zig zag trajectory.}}

*{{nerf|When charging an Aura Sphere, Lucario will take minor self-damage the longer he is charging a fully-charged Aura Sphere.}}

*{{buff|[[Force Palm]] now grabs foes in the air. Grounded Force Palm hits normally when used below 75%. Afterwards, the grab portion becomes Close Combat, sending foes upwards. A very powerful attack. The non-grabbing portion of Force Palm has increased hitlag.}}

*{{change|[[Double Team]] is no longer a [[counter]] move, instead activating on its own. If used while below 75%, the move has a slight delay before triggering on its own. After 75%, the move fires instantly.}}

*{{change|When using its up taunt, Lucario deals 15% damage to itself (usually to increase aura damage). If using the up taunt when above 300% damage, Lucario will instead deal 50% damage to itself.}}

*{{change|If Lucario is below 75% damage and the player inputs up taunt, down taunt, up taunt in a quick order, he will perform his Ultra Taunt, which creates powerful aura hitboxes all around Lucario and gives Lucario 300% damage, making this a highly risky yet high rewarding power-up.}}

*{{buff|[[PK Freeze]] no longer leaves Lucas helpless when used while airborne. The PK Freeze projectile now explodes upon contacting ground or a wall, and will explode at the end of its trajectory if Lucas is hit before ending it. The projectile itself now produces a paralyzer effect instead of freezing opponents. Lucas can also jump out of the animation, allowing him to move with the PK Freeze projectile.}}

*{{buff|[[PK Fire]] gives Lucas a larger push back when used. Holding down B propels Lucas forward instead of backward. It is also a multi-hitting projectile that deals more damage.}}

*{{buff|If Lucas hits a wall/ceiling after hitting himself with the [[PK Thunder]] projectile, he does not become helpless and can use PK Thunder again, up to three consecutive PK Thunders.}}

*{{buff|Up taunt can hit opponents for 1%, tripping them.}}

*{{buff|Pressing A during a side taunt will make Lucas pull out a [[Mr. Saturn]].}}

*{{buff|Luigi's [[footstool jump]] now damages (for 12%), as well as burying grounded opponents, and meteor smashing airborne opponents with much more knockback.}}

*{{buff|There is slightly less start-up and ending lag when Luigi uses [[Fireball]]. Fireballs travel in a straight diagonal arc and bounce off the floor, akin to the superballs in ''Super Mario Land''. When holding B, Luigi will use the Thunderhand from the ''Mario and Luigi'' series instead, an electric move that deals a single powerful blow.}}

*{{buff|[[Green Missile]] always results in a misfire when used. The attack's priority has been increased too, now passing projectiles and opponents. Also, Luigi can pull off a short-distanced misfire (uncharged missile distance) in a 1/8 chance. Is footstool cancelable.}}

*{{buff|Mario's [[footstool]] jump now damages (for 16%), as well as burying grounded opponents, and meteor smashing airborne opponents with much more knockback.}}

*{{buff|Start-up and ending lag on his [[fireball]]s are much faster, allowing him to shoot them at a more rapid pace. Grounded Fireballs travel forward and rather than bouncing on the ground. Aerial Fireball shoots two fireballs at once. In addition, if one holds B, instead of a fireball, Mario will use the Firebrand from ''Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga'', which is a burst of flame from his palm deals a bunch of small fire damage hits, allowing Mario to extend combos due to being attack cancelable on hit and having no landing lag.}}

*{{buff|By holding B, [[Super Jump Punch]] can be performed twice in succession, akin to Pikachu's Quick Attack, and the final hit is much stronger.}}

*{{buff|Forward aerial is much stronger and a different SFX is played when Mario uses it.}}

*{{buff|[[F.L.U.D.D.]] no longer needs to be charged, as it is always at its maximum level. It now pulls opponents at a 180 degree angle towards Mario and can be cancelled with an attack.}}

*{{buff|Down aerial is able to be cancelled into a Footstool jump or aerial attacks.}}

*{{buff|Mario has a new dash attack where slides forward with his entire body, as he did in ''Super Mario 64'', which can be followed with a hop attack by pressing A.}}

*{{buff|Up taunt has [[Launch resistance|super armor]] while Mario is giant.}}

*{{buff|[[Shield Breaker]] pushes Marth forwards further while grounded. When airborne, it produces much more forward momentum, and is interruptible by aerial attacks during its hitboxes duration and ending lag.}}

*{{buff|[[Dancing Blade]]'s third hit angled down is a strong spike and final hit angled up is much stronger. An aerial Dancing Blade is now a single chop, acting like a faster forward aerial.}}

*{{buff|All grabs have longer reach.}}

*{{buff|Non-tipped down tilt sends opponents on a weak vertical trajectory, similar to {{SSBM|Roy}}'s down tilt in ''Melee''.}}

*{{change|His sword's trails when swung now vary, from green with smash attacks and blue for his tilts and aerials, to purple with his specials.}}

*{{change|A general decrease of damage in his attacks, but his attacks are stronger in knockback.}}

*{{buff|Meta Knight can act out of his helpless state using any special move other than the one that caused him to be in a helpless state, giving him a more flexible recovery.}}

*{{buff|[[Mach Tornado]] knocks opponents upwards, but can be canceled into any aerial.}}

*{{buff|[[Dimensional Cape]] is much stronger when used as an attack and has increased hitlag. Also, [[Infinite Dimensional Cape]] can no longer be used, but tilting the C-stick or pressing the button assigned to up-smash will make the Dimensional Cape go straight to the attack, having near-instantaneous startup if done so right at the beginning.}}

*{{change|Jab is now a single slash with vertical knockback that makes Meta Knight take a quick step back.}}

*{{change|Down tilt has vertical knockback.}}

*{{buff|Down throw produces vertical knockback instead of horizontal. This throw is now a single hit. This throw cancels into [[Shuttle Loop]] when the special button is held.}}

*{{buff|Up smash consists of one strike only, and it gives Meta Knight a jump upward when used, similar to the ''Street Fighter'' special move Shoryuken. On release, he can attack behind him instead if the control stick is held in the direction behind Meta Knight.}}

*{{buff|Forward smash makes Meta Knight spin and vanish multiple times and does a upwards slash that does very high knockback, but with large start-up and ending lag.}}

*{{change|Up Throw is much slower, plays the "Come back when you can put up a fight" SFX, causes a heavy explosion, and deals 45% damage and heavy knockback to both the opponent and Meta Knight when Meta Knight lands, essentially being used as a kamikaze attack.}}

*{{buff|The food from [[Chef]] produces vertical knockback and does fire damage and launches five projectiles at once.}}

*{{buff|[[Oil Panic]] has a much higher damage multiplier for the projectiles caught, making it very powerful once full. Oil Panic can also no longer be held indefinitely, but Mr. Game & Watch now puts away the bucket sooner, due to less ending lag.}}

*{{buff|All taunts add a unit to Oil Panic and are interruptable.}}

*{{buff|[[PK Flash]] no longer leaves Ness helpless if used while airborne. The PK Flash projectile also explodes when it hits ground or a wall, and will explode at the end of its trajectory if Ness is hit before ending it. Additionally, the startup of PK Flash has set vertical knockback, which can be easily followed up with an uncharged PK Flash. If the attack button is held when PK Flash explodes, the move will gain a [[darkness]] effect and send foes on a powerful semi-spiking direction. It can also be held for much longer.}}

*{{buff|[[PK Fire]] has slightly less start-up and ending lag when fired.}}

*{{buff|Ness no longer becomes helpless if the projectile from [[PK Thunder]] fails to hit him. Using it for recovery gives him [[Launch resistance|super armor]]. It also has 5% light armor on startup and 10% on hold/loop.}}

*{{buff|[[PSI Magnet]] produces a hitbox when initially used that causes light damage and vertical knockback. When it ends, it produces a wind effect. It can now also be cancelled via a jump, akin to Fox/Falco's reflector in ''Melee''.}}

*{{buff|Forward smash has a sweetspot that produces the "Ping" noise when landed, akin to the Home Run Bat. Its knockback and speed have also been greatly improved.}}

*{{buff|Pikmin now have much more attack range and diversity in their attacks. Red Pikmin are multi-hit for fire damage. Yellow Pikmin hit for electric damage, spike nearby opponents, and knock midrange opponents towards Olimar. Blue Pikmin consistently knock foes towards Olimar. Purple Pikmin have half the range of other Pikmin, but are the most powerful. White Pikmin also knock foes towards Olimar, but spike foes in the air.}}

*{{buff|Forward tilt is now a powerful kick that has much more endlag, but is much more powerful in return.}}

*{{change|All of his physics have been tweaked.}}

*{{buff|All [[Vegetable]]s are stronger, has an increased chance of Peach pulling a stitchface turnip and items, and Peach is able to pull additional items (such as a [[Pitfall]] or [[Smoke Ball]]). Stronger vegetables are color-coded: The redder they are, the stronger they are. Veggies can be plucked in the air.}}

*{{buff|[[Peach Bomber]] can be interrupted by any aerial move or [[Toad]], retaining Peach Bomber's horizontal momentum.}}

*{{buff|A successful Toad [[counter]] grants Peach a turnip. Toad counter has more range.}}

*{{buff|Forward smash is much faster, being approximately twice as fast. Can control what weapon she uses by angling the smash.}}

*{{buff|Down smash always trips opponents, with every hit. Cancels into jump and float.}}

*{{buff|Back throw throws opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}

*{{buff|Down tilt always meteor smashes, as well as being much faster. It also has heart GFX added. Tilting backwards after the move is done grants Peach backwards momentum.}}

*{{change|Down aerial has an added effect, similar to Peach's up tilt.}}

*{{buff|Canceling Peach's up special puts Peach into her helpless stage, but can be cancelled by another attack. However, after canceling the first time, using Peach's up special again will result in putting her into the helpless animation, without even using the up special.}}

*{{buff|First and second jump now sends Peach higher.}}

*{{buff|Neutral aerial now has considerable shield damage, slightly increased knockback, sends opponents at a low angle trajectory, and its landing lag reduced from eleven frames to two. When sourspotted, it sends opponent at an even lower angle.}}

*{{buff|Pressing A during its forward aerial causes it to fly forward (Parabolic Charge).}}

*{{buff|Hitting the ground during its downward aerial causes an explosion (Zap Cannon).}}

*{{buff|Its neutral special attack in the air is Electro Ball, which creates a slow, electrified ball that deals a set knockback.}}

*{{buff|Its up B can cancel into an aerial attack at any time.}}

*{{change|Its side B is now Wild Charge.}}

*{{buff|Back aerial moves Pikachu horizontally through the air, similar to a helicopter. Cancels into aerials at the end.}}

*{{buff|Pikachu's jab now hits much faster.}}

*{{buff|Neutral special move hits goes up when traveling on the ground.  Will spike foes when traveling through the air.}}

*{{buff|There is more control over the arrows shot from [[Palutena's Bow]] - there is no limit to their turning speed. Palutena's Bow can also be charged longer, and gains more power. Arrows fired upwards are much slower. Aerial charge animation can be cancelled.}}

*{{buff|[[Angel Ring]] spins much faster, racking up damage much faster, and propels Pit further. It will also now propel Pit off ledges instead of stopping on the edge. The attack is able to be cancelled by one's shield during the middle section of the attack. Doing Angel Ring in the air will instead make him do a modified glide attack.}}

*{{buff|[[Mirror Shield]] is jump cancelable.}}

*{{buff|Forward smash can be [[angled]]. Unangled forward smash is the same as in regular ''Brawl''. Angled forward smash is a single close-range upward swipe that knocks up-backwards.}}

*{{buff|Glide attack now produces vertical knockback that is stronger.}}

=={{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}==

*{{buff|[[Stamina (stat)|Stamina]] has been removed, effectively allowing one to play as a single Pokémon for the entire match.}}

*{{buff|[[Type effectiveness]] is removed.}}

*{{change|Does not switch Pokémon upon being KO'd unless the [[Shield]] button is held as the last Pokémon is KO'd.}}

*{{change|Was removed from the CSS, but all the Pokémon are still interchangeable via grounded down special.}}

*{{buff|When [[Robo Beam]] is fully charged, the beam will [[paralyze]] opponents for a brief moment before knockback occurs. The attack can be angled with the control stick to aim, and the beams also ricochet. In addition, a fully charged beam is much more powerful.}}

**{{nerf|Uncharged beam no longer paralyzes.}}

*{{buff|Forward smash is stronger, has a larger hitbox, and hits with more hitlag when it is sweetspotted.}}

*{{buff|Neutral aerial has two variants. Tapping A is the regular version, while holding A executes a slower version with a longer lasting hitbox.}}

*{{buff|Up aerial's speed greatly increased.}}

*{{buff|[[Arm Rotor]] propels R.O.B. much further when used on the ground and in the air. It is also now interruptible. Only sends him a great distance in the air once per airtime. Is cancelable into aerials.}}

**{{nerf|If [[Arm Rotor]] is immediately interrupted with a back aerial, R.O.B. will move a ridiculous distance forward at breakneck speeds. This can lead to OHKOs on himself.}}

*{{change|Back aerial hits opponent towards R.O.B.}}

*{{change|Dash attack is now a forward stab.}}

*{{change|Forward aerial is now a two-hit attack, with the second hit being much stronger than the first.}}

*{{change|Up aerial is now an upwards stab.}}

*{{buff|Dash attack is drastically stronger with an electric effect upon impact, emulating the Shinespark.}}

*{{buff|Up tilt no longer meteor smashes and will always produce horizontal knockback. Her heel will still meteor.}}

*{{buff|Down tilt is an extremely fast close-range explosion with [[IASA]] frames as early as frame 8, with vertical knockback. It causes 1% self-damage every time it is used.}}

*{{buff|First four hits of Up Smash are [[Aura]] instead of fire, simulating Phazon. The final hit is ice instead of fire, and freezes opponents. The whole move links properly.}}

*{{buff|Grab now lingers, Identical to [[Zero Suit Samus]]{{'}}s.}}

*{{buff|Up Throw is the Grapple Voltage from ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', which knocks the opponent down to the floor but causes 10% self-damage.}}

*{{buff|[[Zero Laser]] will not transform Samus into Zero Suit Samus unless the L or R button is held.}}

*{{buff|[[Needle Storm]] must be charged by holding the special button instead of just pressing it. Needles will explode moments after being on the ground.  Now charges faster.}}

*{{buff|Down air functions like [[Zero Suit Samus (SSBB)|Zero Suit Samus]]'s down air.}}

*{{buff|[[Hand Grenade]]s produce stronger knockback that is horizontal. If Snake attempts to pull out a grenade when two are already active, he'll pull out a [[Motion-Sensor Bomb]]. Air dodging will make Snake drop and pick up any item he is holding.}}

*{{buff|The [[Remote Missile]] travels dramatically faster, though it can only be controlled during the first second.}}

*{{buff|[[Cypher]] is interruptible much sooner and Snake has much more horizontal control with it, and weakly meteor smashes airborne opponents who come in contact with it after the Cypher is released. }}

*{{change|"Tasty!" SFX played when Snake uses his down throw.}}

*{{buff|Down smash is faster, stronger, has a larger blast radius, activates sooner, lasts for one minute before expiring or exploding (whichever comes first). Snake's "There!" SFX is played upon successful implantation. Now hits people who will try to roll over a mine.}}

*{{buff|Can drop his currently held item by pressing A during any dodge.}}

*{{buff|The knockback of almost all attacks have been improved, while their damage output has been improved drastically, with many dealing in excess of 20%, such as his forward smash and back aerial.}}

*{{buff|[[Homing Attack]] has significantly less ending lag when it hits an opponent or a wall and can be cancelled into any aerial on hit. If it connects with a shield, Sonic will say "Come on, step it up!" and can immediately use another Homing Attack, allowing him to [[pressure]] shields.}}

*{{buff|Pressing Down on the Control Stick during Homing Attack's startup will execute the Bounce Attack, a rapid downward attack that bounces off the first thing Sonic hits. This refreshes his double jump when it connects. He will grab the ledge as well, but will plummet to his death if there is nothing to bounce off of.}}

*{{buff|[[Spin Dash]] is replaced with Sonic Boost, a non-damaging instant ground or air dash faster than his dash that can be canceled into nearly anything. Releasing the special button will stop the boost, but on the ground, Sonic will continue to dash at boost speed if the control stick is still being held forward.}}

*{{buff|Pummel speed has been drastically increased. "You're too slow!" SFX is produced for every pummel.}}

*{{buff|Down smash can be canceled into anything after the second hit, and when a Homing Attack is used in the middle of down smash, Sonic will fly off a very long distance in the direction of the down smash momentum. This can lead to KOs on himself if used improperly.}}

*{{buff|Dash attack has a hit at the very end when Sonic uncurls from a ball. The hitbox has high hitlag, launches airborne opponents downwards, and trips grounded opponents. Pressing the special button cancels his dash attack into the spindash.}}

*{{buff|All taunts are interruptible at any time.}}
