'''Corrin''' ({{ja|カムイ|Kamui}}, ''Kamui'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' that was officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018. As in ''Smash 4'', both male and female versions of the character are playable. Corrin is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #62]].

The voice actors for male and female Corrin reprise their roles in English ({{iw|wikipedia|Cam Clarke}} and Marcella Lentz-Pope) and in Japanese ({{iw|wikipedia|Nobunaga Shimazaki}} and {{iw|wikipedia|Satomi Satō}}), with their portrayals from ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' being repurposed for their respective editions of Ultimate.

Corrin is ranked 23rd out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him at the top of the A tier. This is a slight drop from his 13th out of 54 placement in ''SSB4''. Corrin's main strength is his range, high damage output and good frame data for a swordsman, along with an extremely reliable combo game thanks to his consistent aerial combos. This gifts him with an amazing neutral and advantage state, with [[Dragon Lunge]] serving as the centerpiece of Corrin's gameplan: it consists of an initial pin and followup attack that can be cancelled into an attack or various movement options, while serving as a recovery extender and a fast, low-risk [[2 frame punish]] option. Some of his attacks have extremely high reach, while others have options to keep opponents guessing, such as forward smash (which whittles down shields when charging) and [[Dragon Fang Shot]] (which can be charged in two different ways), allowing for useful mixups. Finally, Corrin's recovery is dependable thanks to [[Dragon Ascent]]'s [[intangibility]] and large hitboxes, while he can further aid his recovery by using back air.

However, Corrin has notable weaknesses, most of which revolve around his poor mobility and disadvantage state. Corrin's poor ground speed and lack of effective defensive options (such as fast [[out of shield]] moves) makes it difficult for him to win neutral or get out of disadvantage. His slow mobility hinders his ability to chase opponents, giving him unusual difficulty in combo game execution than other swordfighters. Corrin's strongest advantage tools, such as his special attacks and forward smash, have poor frame data and therefore easy to punish, while his strongest KO options additionally require precision due to their small sweetspots. His grab game is only serviceable, with most of them only used for positional advantage and only up throw being a very late KO throw. Finally, Corrin's linear recovery is susceptible to gimps and edgeguards, as Dragon Ascent is his only recovery option outside of back aerial or situational wall pins with Dragon Lunge.

Overall, Corrin is a unique swordfighter that excels in a formidable, freeflow combo game that is reliable across the cast, great edgeguarding and spacing tools, along with many ways to keep his opponent guessing once he is in advantage. However, his lack of defensive options and slow mobility means he has to carefully win neutral to avoid his lacking disadvantage state. Though Corrin was tied for the least represented character in the early metagame (along with the {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}}), his representation improved significantly in the post-pandemic metagame, courtesy of buffs in patches and great performances from players such as {{Sm|SHADIC}} and {{Sm|Neo|p=Japan}}.

==How to unlock==
Complete one of the following:
*Play [[VS. match]]es, with Corrin being the 41st character to be unlocked.

Corrin is a middleweight swordfighter (same as {{SSBU|Mario}} and {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}}), having an above-average height, above-average walking speed, below-average running speed, a below-average initial dash, high traction (having the 10th highest traction), below-average air speed and acceleration (among the bottom 15 in this particular area), and an average falling speed along with a slightly above-average gravity. All of these attributes collectively make his mobility fall more along the side of below-average. However, Corrin also possesses the fastest dash to shield speed in the game (at 8 frames, tying with Sheik), which significantly aids in his ability to approach and deal with projectiles.

Being a swordfighter, Corrin has the innate benefit of having the vast majority of his moves be disjoints, giving him a respectable neutral game with his spacing capabilities as well as his fast frame data, as all of his standard moves except for six (those being dash attack, back air, down air, and all of his smash attacks) come out at frame 9 or faster.

Corrin's grounded moveset has good utility; the rapid jab can act as a good damage-racking option while the gentleman jab has its use as a later kill option, killing middleweights at at around 150% at the edge of [[Final Destination]], and forward tilt is a useful spacing tool and kill option that kills middleweights at around 130% on Final Destination. In addition, up tilt and down tilt both serve as combo starters, with down tilt being able to lead into up tilt at mid percents, and both tilts being able to combo into aerials such as neutral, forward, and up aerial. Dash attack, while only having slight combo potential and no kill potential, has some notable use for catching landings due to its decent amount of active frames. His smash attacks also have good utility; up smash, while having a weaker grounded hitbox, possesses a strong sweet-spot on the tip that makes it a kill option against opponents in the air, as an uncharged sweet-spot hit can kill as early as 90% against middleweights, and down smash, while being the least useful for killing, at least covers Corrin on both sides. However, his strongest smash attack by far is forward smash; not only can it be angled, but it also boasts incredible range and can kill middleweights as early as 80% near the edges of Final Destination if the tip of the move connects, making it a deadly spacing tool that rewards precision. After the 8.0.0 update, the tipper hitbox is generally safe on shield, making it a decently safe kill option if used well. In addition, the move also has a close hitbox when the move is being charged, which can have its applications in shield pressure and can score some surprise kills. Finally, his grab game, while being among the least useful aspects of his moveset, still has a degree of utility, as the up throw can kill middleweights at 160% and above, earlier with rage. His other throws are surprisingly useful in giving him positional advantage.

Corrin's air game is also very potent, further supplementing his combo game and advantage state while also sporting other forms of utility; a falling neutral aerial can combo into itself, forward aerial, up aerial, and up tilt at the low and mid percents, with forward aerial boasting similar combo potential. Additionally, its fast start-up and good coverage make it a useful out-of-shield option as well as a potential combo breaker. Up aerial is Corrin's ideal juggling tool that can kill middleweights very early (below 80%) near the top blast zone while also comboing into moves such as back aerial when fast falled and reversed at mid percents. Back aerial is Corrin's strongest aerial, having strong range and kill power, being able to kill middleweights as early as 80% from the edge of Final Destination, while also having applications as a slight horizontal recovery tool due to the forward push that happens upon using the move. Finally, down air is a stall and fall move that can rack up damage and serve as a landing option, and it can also steal stocks off-stage.

Corrin's special moves are unique and have mixed utility; [[Dragon Fang Shot]] is a chargeable projectile that inflicts stun and possesses a bite follow-up attack that serves as a situational kill option, and can have its applications as a surprise move to [[B-reverse]]. [[Dragon Lunge]] is a skewer attack that can pin opponents in place and be followed up with either a jump or a vaulting kick, with the latter being able to kill middleweights at 105% near the edge of FD; the move also has some edgeguarding utility since the skewer can also be pinned on walls. [[Dragon Ascent]] is his primary recovery tool that has decent distance, a hitbox, and intangibility on frames 7-17. Finally, [[Counter Surge]] is a counter move that has decent vertical kill power. All of these strengths establish Corrin as a character who excels at range and spacing in the neutral with his attacks, while also boasting a solid advantage state with his damage racking and juggling abilities thanks to fast and ranged tilts and aerials. In addition, his special moves also give him some other unique forms of utility in the form of projectiles and ranged kill options.

However, Corrin also has notable weaknesses, one of which is his below-average speed. Corrin slightly struggles to keep up with fast opponents and utilize his large disjoints due to low air acceleration and airspeed. Another one of Corrin's most notable flaws is his below-average disadvantage. Due to Corrin's slow airspeed and acceleration, he doesn't have many options for mixing up his momentum in the air, except B-reversing. His disadvantage is made more problematic because while neutral aerial can sometimes be a decent combo breaker, his only other landing options (down aerial and Counter Surge) are committal and laggy, and can result in getting deeper in disadvantage if these options are used too hastily. His slow air mobility not only hinders his disadvantage but also his recovery, as while Dragon Ascent has decent distance, its usefulness can be greatly hindered if Corrin is launched too far offstage without a jump, though at least that issue can somewhat be circumvented with the horizontal push of back aerial. However, even with this other slight recovery option, as well as the fact that his up special has a hitbox and some intangibility, it doesn't change the fact that Corrin's recovery is fairly linear, making him susceptible to losing stocks at earlier percentages with well-placed edge guards against some characters.

Another issue with Corrin is his below-average grab game, as up throw is the only throw with some utility for being a late kill throw. Meanwhile, forward throw and back throw are purely positional throws, which have their uses but do not lead to guaranteed combos, and down throw is solely a serious damage option, with none of these other throws having any degree of combo potential or reasonable kill power.

Overall, Corrin is a character who can stand his ground up close and rack up damage efficiently with his spacing tools and his combo and advantage potential, but Corrin's below-average speed holds him back from becoming a top-tier threat. His tall frame and moderate gravity make him susceptible to aerial combos and juggling, similar to other fighters from ''Fire Emblem'', although his down aerial can prevent some juggles. Although his flaws are somewhat polarizing due to his slightly exploitable recovery and poor disadvantage, they can be made up for with his stable combo game and kill confirms, as well as his greater raw kill power and range.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Corrin was previously considered to be a high-tier character in ''SSB4'' (13th out of 54 characters) thanks to a combination of excellent range and passable speed to go with good frame data, a surprisingly effective combo game, great approach option in his [[Dragon Lunge]], and respectable KO power. Most likely owing to the stigma left by DLC characters in the previous game, Corrin was drastically nerfed during the initial release of ''Ultimate''; however, game updates would provide many noteworthy buffs to help compensate and make up for his lost options. Regardless, Corrin is still considered to be slightly nerfed overall.

Corrin's nerfs have primarily addressed the most oppressive aspects of his kit, with his special moveset suffering the largest recipients. [[Dragon Lunge]], previously his most versatile move, has become riskier to execute as its kicking part now covers less distance and suffers much more ending lag, and its ability to cross up opponents is also worsened with the game's changes to [[jostling]]. [[Dragon Fang Shot]] has increased lag and [[paralysis|paralyzes]] opponents for less time if not fully charged or at low percentage, both changes of which make the projectile follow up into the bite less consistently and remove its previous KO confirm from forward aerial at mid-percentages (though the move itself still follows up naturally at high percentages). [[Counter Surge]], previously one of the most infamous counterattacks in the game, has lost its strong late hit, deals substantially less knockback, and has much more ending lag upon a successful counterattack. Among other nerfs, his [[forward smash]] has a much shorter active duration, [[down smash]]'s back hit is weaker, and [[Dragon Ascent]] now halts at the end of the move, slightly reducing Corrin's horizontal recovery distance. His grabs have slightly less range, rendering them harder to use to pressure opponents, and causing Corrin to rely on spacing much more, while his forward and back throws' lower knockback makes them less effective in battles against multiple characters.

However, Corrin has also received some useful buffs. Several of Corrin's moves have seen damage increases, making it easier for him to rack up damage if he keeps the advantage. Many of Corrin's moves are also more adept for KOing; [[forward smash|forward]] and [[up smash]]es, [[back aerial|back]] and [[up aerial]]s [[Dragon Ascent]], and [[Dragon Fang Shot]]'s fully charged shot and bite all now deal more knockback, with the latter even compensating somewhat for the move's lowered paralysis time and making it a deadlier hard punish, while [[forward tilt]] sends at a much more desirable angle for KOing (in exchange for its former ability to situationally juggle vertically) while seeing no changes to knockback unlike other tilts of its kind. Despite its nerfs, Dragon Lunge has also seen some notorious improvements; it can now be canceled manually by tapping down, and jumping has significantly less endlag, making it much safer when not used to attack and improving its mix-up potential. Other buffs include forward smash now reaching its maximum distance immediately and being both safer on shield and stronger when tippered, [[down smash]] having less ending lag, Dragon Fang Shot traveling a longer distance, and Dragon Ascent traveling more distance and its intangibility period being more lenient, making it slightly harder to intercept.

The universal changes to the engine are overall mixed for Corrin. On one hand, the universal nerfs to grabs' frame data leave Corrin more open to punishment, and combined with his grabs and throws changes, further weaken his grab game. The increased mobility, faster [[jumpsquat]]s, the ability to [[dash-canceling|run cancel into any grounded move]], the increased [[shieldstun]], and the reduced [[landing lag]], all improve Corrin's [[approach]] and combo game, the former somewhat compensating for Dragon Lunge's increased risk, though this also allows opponents to overcome Corrin's defenses with less issue, making his mediocre close-quarters game and vulnerability to combos more exploitable. On the other hand, the changes to the paralysis effect allow Dragon Fang Shot to stun opponents longer at high percentages, as well as deal knockback to already paralyzed opponents (rather than only damaging them). The ability for [[smash attacks]] to be held for longer also noticeably benefits forward smash, allowing the looping charge hits to last longer and further build damage or lead into [[shield break]]s.

In bulk, the changes to the game physics make it easier for Corrin to approach without the need for his special moves, and he now possesses a less lopsided moveset and a more conventional KOing prowess, helping compensate for the loss of his mid-percentage KO confirms. However, his nerfed grabs and special moves make it less feasible to approach with them and cause Corrin to rely on his standard moveset to fill in the gaps left by these detriments, and the same changes to the engine make it easier to surmount his defense and exploit his disadvantage, forcing him to rely more on his aerials. Aside from his struggle at close range and poor grab game, Corrin also retains his weaknesses from ''SSB4'' (many of which are typical of ''Fire Emblem'' characters in general), such as his lance moves' reliance on spacing, mediocre recovery, and being vulnerable to combos. Because of his nerfs, Corrin was initially considered a significantly less viable character than in ''SSB4'', although subsequent updates have mitigated the nerfs' impacts and allowed him to fare substantially better than he did during initial release, keeping up with the rest of the cast even with the introductions of various powerful DLC characters. All in all, Corrin fares moderately worse than in ''SSB4'', but remains a fairly effective character in ''Ultimate''.

==Update history==
Corrin was significantly buffed in game updates. While update 2.0.0 merely improved his neutral and up aerials' auto-cancel windows, update 3.0.0 brought a number of more noticeable buffs. A few of Corrin's moves gained more consistent hitboxes, uncharged [[Dragon Fang Shot]] became slightly better at zoning, [[Dragon Lunge]]'s stab ending lag was slightly decreased, and [[Dragon Ascent]] gained more invincibility frames alongside higher knockback. Update 4.0.0 provided one of Corrin's most important buffs by noticeably increasing Dragon Ascent's overall travel distance, which substantially improved his previously crippled recovery. In addition, Dragon Lunge's jump had its ending lag decreased by a fairly noticeable amount, while forward smash gained slightly higher knockback.

Following update 7.0.0's minor buffs to Corrin's shield and down throw, update 8.0.0 granted him a number of substantial buffs. Forward smash's tipper gained a shieldstun multiplier alongside an increased damage output, while its singular hitbox was split in two in order to improve its range. Back and up aerials had their damage outputs increased, which also improved their KO potentials. In comparison, forward aerial also had its damage output increased at the cost of lower knockback scaling, improving its combo potential. Lastly, Dragon Lunge was improved in a few ways: it has less ending lag when its thrust does not pin a surface and especially when Corrin jumps out of its pin, while its clean kicks have significantly higher knockback scaling, thus KOing earlier.

As a result of the many significant buffs he received, Corrin's tournament representation and results have significantly improved since the early metagame, to the point where he is now not only considered to be a high-tier character, but also one of the best swordfighters in the game with some debating whether he should be classified as a top tier or not.

|neutral2dmg=2%
|neutral3dmg=3% (base), 4% (tip)
|neutralinfdmg=0.5% (loop), 3% (finisher)
|neutraldesc=A stab with a spear arm, an inward slash with the Omega Yato, and an outward slash with the Omega Yato held properly. If the neutral infinite is initiated, Corrin then transforms the spear arm into a draconic mouth with Dragon Fang, which repeatedly bites the opponent. These bites are finished with a final strong bite. The first hit is relatively slow at frame 5, but consists of Corrin's spear arm extending, which gives it deceptively long range on frame 6. The third hit of Corrin's jab can kill at very high percents near the ledge.
|ftiltname=Yato Slash ({{ja|夜刀斬|Yatō Kiri}}, ''Night Blade Slash/Cutter'')
|ftiltdmg=10.5%
|ftiltdesc=A downwards outward swipe with the Omega Yato. A fairly unremarkable forward tilt with decent KO potential near ledges. The latest hitbox reaches low enough to hit certain characters on ledge, though it is outperformed by forward smash for such a purpose.
|utiltname=Yato Circle ({{ja|夜刀円|Yatō En}}, ''Night Blade Circle'')
|utiltdmg=9% (clean, late sword), 6% (late body)
|utiltdesc=A twirling-turn upward slash with the Omega Yato. Can inconsistently cover platforms.
|dtiltname=Leg Crusher ({{ja|足砕|Ashisai}}, ''Leg/Foot Smash'')
|dtiltdmg=7.5%
|dtiltdesc=Slashes across the ground with the Omega Yato. Relatively low knockback which sends opponents up and slightly towards Corrin, making it a viable combo starter. One of Corrin's fastest attacks.
|dashname=Drill ({{ja|錐|Kiri}}, ''Auger'')
|dashdmg=2% (hits 1-5), 3% (hit 6)
|dashdesc=Spins forward in a corkscrew-like manner while holding forward the Omega Yato. Based on the attack after triggering offensive skills like {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Luna|skill}} or {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Lethality}} in ''Fire Emblem Fates''.
|fsmashname=Dragon Fang/Drill Thrust ({{ja|竜穿突|Ryūsen Totsu}})
|fsmashdmg=0.5% (charging loop), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|11}} (spear base), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|12}} (spear center), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|16.7}} (spear tip)
|fsmashdesc=Transforms the free arm into a spear with Dragon Fang and thrusts it forward. It possesses immense reach, being the fourth-longest reaching non-projectile forward smash in the game, only behind {{SSBU|Min Min}}'s, {{SSBU|Simon}}'s, and {{SSBU|Richter}}'s. It can be angled, making it good for catching opponents trying to return to the stage when angled up or hitting crouching/small opponents when angled down. The sweetspot at the tip deals very high knockback, while the rest of the attack is considerably weaker. Has a hitbox while charging, where Corrin holds the Omega Yato in front of him as the chainsaw blades repeatedly damage opponents in range. Though this does not lead to the sweetspot, it can catch opponents for a fully charged blow. The charging hitbox is very effective at trapping a shielding opponent at the ledge: while it is possible to [[shield SDI]] through Corrin, the relative weakness of shield SDI combined with the reduced hitlag on blocked attacks makes this difficult. Additionally, the gap between hits is short enough to prevent safely rolling out of the move, and long enough that [[Shieldstun#In_Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate|shieldstun cancelling]] is not possible, as it is not considered a true blockstring. As such, the opponent is forced to either hold shield and take heavy shield damage, or release shield and get hit by the attack. Outside of shield pressure, the charging hitbox is rather easy to [[SDI]] out of, as doing so upward can allow the opponent to avoid the main attack with a well-timed air dodge, while doing so towards Corrin will cause enemies to end up behind Corrin if close enough. Based on the second hit of the Dragon Fang skill in ''Fire Emblem Fates''.
|usmashname=Vertical Dragon Fang Thrust ({{ja|直上竜穿突|Chokujō Ryūsen Totsu}}, ''Straight Above Dragon Fang/Drill Thrust'')
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|10}} (sides), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|13}} (base), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|15}} (tip)
|usmashdesc=Corrin crosses both arms, crouches, and transforms the arms into Dragon Fang spears, pointing them upward across himself in a bracing position to launch opponents. It has a sweetspot at the tip, but its range is poor and knockback is lacking on the sourspot.
|dsmashname=Yato Dragon Fang ({{ja|夜刀竜穿|Yatō Ryūsen}}, ''Night Blade Dragon Fang/Drill'')
|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|11}} (sword), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|9}} (lance, middle), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|14}} (lance, tip)
|dsmashdesc=Corrin transforms one leg into a Dragon Fang spear, then stabs in front and behind with the Omega Yato and the Dragon Fang spear, respectively, in a one-legged forward lean stance. The animation is similar to the {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}}'s down smash. The tip of Corrin's spear leg has a sweetspot that deals the most damage and knockback.
|nairname=Circular Formation ({{ja|方円|Hōen}}, ''Square & Circle'')
|nairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5.5}} (late)
|nairdesc=Slashes with the Omega Yato from above to behind, while simultaneously using a Dragon Fang spear to slash forwards. Unlike in Corrin's other moves, the Dragon Fang spear does not deal more damage at the tip. It hits all around Corrin, has low landing lag, and launches opponents at a high angle, allowing it to function as a reliable combo starter at a wide range of percents. Its relatively low startup combined with its large hitbox also makes it one of Corrin's viable Out-of-Shield options.
|fairname=Jumping/Leap Strike ({{ja|跳打|Chōda}})
|fairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9}}
|fairdesc=An inward single-handed reaping slash with the Omega Yato. Similar to {{SSBU|Marth}}'s, only with Corrin's legs being positioned differently. It launches at a fairly high angle, autocancels from a short hop, has a wide arching reach, and low ending lag, making it very viable for aerial combos. It's also -4 on shield, and combining that with its large range makes it very safe on shield.
|bairname=Dragon Fang/Drill Wings ({{ja|竜穿翼|Ryūsen Tsubasa}})
|bairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9}} (late)
|bairdesc=Sprouts wings with the Dragon Fang, and attacks by flapping them. It can be used for recovering as it propels Corrin forward like {{SSBU|R.O.B.}}'s back aerial. It also has good range and knockback but has the slowest startup out of all of Corrin's aerials. Its trait of propelling the user forward combined with its large hitbox makes it safe on shield.
|uairname=Light Ring ({{ja|光輪|Kōrin}})
|uairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|10}}
|uairdesc=Slashes in the air with the Omega Yato in a backward flip, closely resembling the up aerials of all the other ''Fire Emblem'' characters (with the exception of {{SSBU|Ike}} and {{SSBU|Byleth}}). Has wide range, quick startup, and surprisingly good knockback, making it a go-to vertical KO move and an excellent finisher from Corrin's combos.
|dairname=Dragon's Piercing Drop ({{ja|竜穿落|Ryūsen Raku}}, ''Dragon Fang/Drill Fall'')
|dairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2}} (loop), 3% (landing)
|dairdesc=Corrin's legs morph into spears with Dragon Fang, diving downward feet-first. A [[stall-then-fall]] drill that meteor smashes weakly with set knockback, excluding the landing hit which deals moderate upwards knockback, both in the air and when landing. It's also somewhat fast for a meteor smash, coming out on frame 12 without having a lot of ending lag. However, since Corrin fast-falls during the attack, it is difficult to recover offstage after using it. As a result, it works better when used for a [[sacrificial KO]], or to quickly punish actions air-to-ground.
|grabname=Grab ({{ja|つかみ|Tsukami}})
|grabdesc=Leans forward slightly and reaches out with the free hand, which briefly enlarges.
|pummelname=Grab Knee Kick ({{ja|つかみひざ蹴り|Tsukami Hizageri}})
|pummeldmg=1.3%
|pummeldesc=A knee strike. Average power and speed.
|fthrowname=Bright Star ({{ja|明星|Myōjō}})
|fthrowdmg=5% (hit 1, base), 10% (hit 1, tip), 2% (throw)
|fthrowdesc=Transforms the free arm into a spear with Dragon Fang, and stabs the opponent with it, knocking them up and away. Unusually, even though the scaling of this throw is very low, it possesses a tipper hitbox that can hit bystanders. If tippered, this throw is significantly more powerful and is thus very deadly if at the edge.
|bthrowname=Evening Twilight ({{ja|宵闇|Yoiyami}}, ''Evening Dark/Dusk'')
|bthrowdmg=6.5% (hit 1, base), 12% (hit 1, tip), 2% (throw)
|bthrowdesc=Places the opponent backward and stabs them upwards with the Dragon Fang spear-turned arm, knocking them away. Similar to forward throw, though with slightly more damage and knockback, along with possessing a tipper hitbox just like forward throw, but due to the slight differences in damage and knockback, it's considered more powerful than the forward throw in both regards.
|uthrowname=Dragon-Form Thrust ({{ja|竜化突|Ryūka Totsu}}, ''Dragonization Thrust'')
|uthrowdmg=6.5% (hit 1), 3% (throw)
|uthrowdesc=Lifts the opponent into the air and transforms into dragon form then raises on its hind legs to launch opponents in the air via a headbutt during the transformation. Afterward, Corrin reverts back into human form. The strongest out of all of Corrin's throws.
|dthrowname=Dragon-Form Kick ({{ja|竜化蹴|Ryūka Geri}}, ''Dragonization Kick'')
|dthrowdmg=6.5% (hit 1), 3% (throw)
|dthrowdesc= Throws the opponent to the ground and transforms into dragon form, then roars in anger while proceeding to stomp down on the opponent and emitting a splash of water. Afterward, Corrin reverts back into human form. Much like up throw, it is a relatively strong throw, KOing most characters under 180%; however, its 70° angle leaves it vulnerable to [[LSI]], allowing it to be survived for much longer, while its ending lag is too high for followups. As a result, it is largely outclassed by up throw, though it remains useful for damage racking purposes.
|floorfname=&nbsp;
|floorfdmg=7%
|floorfdesc=Slashes outward from front to back with the Omega Yato.
|floorbname=&nbsp;
|floorbdmg=7%
|floorbdesc=Same as frontal floor attack.
|floortname=&nbsp;
|floortdmg=5%
|floortdesc=Slashes outward with the Omega Yato, covering every possible side.
|edgename=&nbsp;
|edgedmg=9%
|edgedesc=Climbs up the ledge and swings the Omega Yato forward.
|nsname=Dragon Fang Shot
|nsdmg=4% (shot, uncharged)<br/>11% (shot, fully charged)<br/>10% (bite, uncharged)<br/>20% (bite, fully charged)
|nsdesc=Corrin transforms the left arm into a draconic mouth with Dragon Fang and fires a ball of water. The ball of water briefly paralyzes opponents before launching them away. After the projectile is fired, Corrin's dragon arm will bite before reverting to normal, hitting nearby opponents.
Holding the special button will charge the projectile (causing more damage and knockback, along with increased paralysis duration), as well as the bite (when fully charged, Corrin clamps down forcefully with the dragon mouth, causing very high damage and knockback). The two attacks can be charged in different intervals from each other (i.e. an uncharged shot followed by a fully charged bite, or vice versa).
|ssname=Dragon Lunge
|ssdmg=7% (lance, middle, ground), 8% (lance, middle, air), 15% (lance, tip)<br/>12% (front/back kick, clean), 7% (front/back kick, late), 5% (back kick, turn)
|ssdesc=When used on the ground, Corrin hops a short distance into the air; pressing the attack button during the hop will result in Corrin striking diagonally down with the Dragon Fang spear arm. When used in the air, however, Corrin instantly strikes with the Dragon Fang spear arm. If it hits any terrain during the move (be it the ground or a wall), Corrin's arm will remain there, pinning any opponent caught in place. From there, it can be followed up with either a kick to either side, by pressing the attack button or tilting the control stick horizontally; or a jump by pressing the jump button or tilting the control stick upwards. It can also be canceled entirely by tilting the control stick down, or automatically after pinning a surface for two seconds, which can be useful for reading the opponent's floor recovery. However, canceling the move allows the opponent to act out of it immediately. Pinned opponents can also escape by [[button mashing]] if Corrin does not choose an action soon enough. Like most of Corrin's moves, the tip of the spear deals the most damage and knockback.
|usname=Dragon Ascent
|usdmg=4.5% (hit 1), 1.2% (hits 2-6), 3% (hit 7)
|usdesc=Corrin grows wings using the Dragon Fang and leaps upwards. Similar to {{SSBU|Roy}}'s [[Blazer]], it hits multiple times and can be angled by approximately 45°. Additionally, like {{SSBU|Rosalina}}'s [[Launch Star]], it can be angled to go as high and vertically as possible by pushing backward immediately after activation (though not too early in order to not accidentally reverse the move instead).
|dsname=Counter Surge
|dsdmg=1.2× (minimum 10%)
|dsdesc=Corrin's head goes into dragon form while getting into a defensive stance. If attacked, Corrin transforms into a dragon using the Dragon Fang and slams the ground. A surge of water then erupts from the ground on both sides of Corrin, launching opponents upwards; a unique counter with these distinctions.
|fsname=Torrential Roar
|fsdmg=7%/4%/2% (light pillars), 1.5% (cutscene, 14 hits) 13% (finish)
|fsdesc=Corrin strikes the ground with his free hand, creating two large pillars of light. Anyone who gets hit will be transported to a rocky mountain area. Corrin then transforms into a dragon with the Dragon Fang and unleashes a whirlpool that traps and launches all fighters before going back to the standard stage.

===Most historically significant players===
<!--This character has a ten-player limit for this section. Before adding and/or removing a player, read these guidelines: https://www.ssbwiki.com/SmashWiki:Notability#%22Most_historically_significant_players%22_guidelines -->

''See also:[[:Category:Corrin players (SSBU)]]''

*{{Sm|DieGorou|Japan}} - One of the best Corrin players in Japan and the best since Neo moved to Indonesia. He first broke out onto the global scene at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 48}}, where he defeated {{Sm|Raru}} to place 13th. Since then, he has seen a variety of strong performances that have matched Neo's performances, including placing 5th at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 55}} and 9th at both {{Trn|UltCore Fourth}} and {{Trn|Sumabato SP 53}}. He was ranked 93rd on the [[LumiRank 2024.2]].
*{{Sm|Ly|Japan}} - The first Corrin player with consistent success at majors, co-maining the character alongside {{SSBU|Byleth}} with great success during and right after the pandemic, including placing 17th at both {{Trn|Kagaribi 4}} and {{Trn|Kagaribi 5}} as well as 25th at {{Trn|Kagaribi 8}}. Although his results have since been overtaken by other Corrin players, he still sees incredible performances from time to time, most notably defeating {{Sm|Sparg0}} to place 17th at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2023}}.
*{{Sm|MkLeo|Mexico}} - Played Corrin in the first half of 2022 and was the best Corrin player in the world at the time, successfully piloting the character prior to the boom of Corrin results that took place in the following year. He became the first Corrin player to win a major at {{Trn|Delfino Maza RETA 2022}}, using the character predominantly in top 8. He also used Corrin as a secondary at {{Trn|e-Caribana}} and {{Trn|Pound 2022}}, defeating several ranked players along the way. He dropped Corrin following {{Trn|Double Down 2022}}, although he has occasionally pulled out the character to cover his other mains' bad matchups, such as defeating {{Sm|Sonix}} at {{Trn|Wavedash 2023}}.
*{{Sm|Neo|Japan|p=Japan}} - One of the greatest Corrin players of all time and the best player in South East Asia, having moved to Indonesia in 2024. He was initially known for his strong results in late-2022 despite being a relatively new player at that time, before breaking out onto the global scene after placing 5th at {{Trn|Maesuma TOP 12}} and defeating {{Sm|KEN}}. Internationally, he is best known for placing 5th at both {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2023}} and {{Trn|GENESIS X}}, as well as being the only Corrin player who has defeated {{Sm|Tweek}}. His performances in 2023 led to his ranking of 30th on [[LumiRank 2023]], which was the record for highest ranking among Corrin players prior to SHADIC's rise, and at his peak, he was ranked 28th on the [[UltRank 2025]], the highest-ranking among any Corrin player on the list.
*{{Sm|SHADIC|USA}} - The greatest Corrin player of all time. He was one of the first Corrin players in competitive play but found his greatest success in the post-pandemic metagame. He is best known for winning {{Trn|Cirque Du CFL 3}}, becoming the first solo-Corrin player to win a major, and the invitational {{Trn|The Luminosity Invitational}}. In addition, he had placed top 8 at some of the largets events of the year, including 3rd at {{Trn|Supernova 2024}} and 7th at both {{Trn|GENESIS X}} and {{Trn|Riptide 2024}}. At his peak, he was ranked 7th on the [[LumiRank 2024.1]], becoming the first solo-Corrin player to rank in the top 10.

===Tier placement and history===
Corrin was initially seen as a mid-tier character from the beginning of the metagame. While his nerfs were perceived as noticeable, players believed he could still have potential akin to ''Smash 4'' with moves such as back aerial and Dragon Lunge still being strong enough to mitigate their nerfs. However, it soon became apparent that their changes were insufficient to adhere to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s faster engine. Many top professionals considered Corrin a low-tier character, and all of Corrin's notable players from ''Smash 4'' dropped him. Despite occasional success from players such as {{Sm|Ke-ya}}, who has placed decently in Japan, and {{Sm|Cosmos}}, who notably reverse 3-0'd Dabuz at {{Trn|Glitch 8 - Missingno}}, Corrin's representation was near nonexistent during the early metagame, with him ranking last in representation at the end of 2019,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AJs-mj5TTdkmkl7nhj4twJymVPTLTUdT0MBToL1cxDs/edit#gid=342014565|title=OrionRank 2019 character data}}</ref> and again in 2020, where an analysis of 251 [[Power ranking]]s across 5 continents in 2020 showing Corrin having the lowest representation in the roster (0.1%), along with {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}}.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGaYyzztjBc&t=872s</ref> As a result, opinions on Corrin were highly unfavorable, and he was considered completely irrelevant in competitive play.

However, Corrin's reception would turn around with the release of patch 8.0.0, where his KO power and Dragon Lunge were improved. Although the patch took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, Corrin began seeing improved results from Cosmos, who mained Corrin throughout most of the online metagame. Following the return of offline competitive play, Corrin saw further success from old players such as {{Sm|Ly}} and {{Sm|SHADIC}} and gained new players such as {{Sm|MkLeo}}, who co-mained Corrin in the first half of 2022, and {{Sm|Neo|p=Japan}}, who established himself as one of the best Corrin players in the world by early-2023 despite having started seriously competing only months prior. This led to a renaissance period for Corrin, who swiftly saw more and more representation as time went on, a remarkable improvement from Corrin's near-nonexistent playerbase from the early metagame and one of the most significant turnarounds of any character's overall representation across any ''Smash'' game. These marked changes caused the community to reassess the character as mid-tier, with some going as far as to say Corrin could be ranked as a high-tier. This is reflected in Corrin's first tier list placement, where he was ranked 42nd out of 82 in B+ tier.

During the middle of 2023, an explosion of Corrin results took place thanks to Neo and SHADIC, both of whom placed or had placed top 8 at several majors throughout the year, with SHADIC especially becoming one of the year's biggest rising stars. This explosion of results led to Corrin's rise to 27th on the second tier list into the A- tier, tying {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}} as the second-highest rise between the first and second tier lists. These incredible performances then continued into the first half of 2024, especially as SHADIC established himself as a top 10 player and won {{Trn|Cirque Du CFL 3}}, the first major ever won by a solo-Corrin player, while {{Sm|Sparg0}} briefly used Corrin as a counterpick for certain matchups. Though Corrin's results took a dip in the second half of the year, owing to Sparg0 dropping the character, Neo's inconsistent performances, and SHADIC's small decline due to his studies, the Japanese scene saw the rise of {{Sm|DieGorou}}, who was able to put up several notable performances. As such, despite already rising greatly between the first and second lists, many players continued to believe that Corrin should rise even further. As such, Corrin slightly rose to 23rd on the third and current tier list, placing him in A tier.

==Role in [[World of Light]]==
[[File:WoL-62Corrin.jpg|thumb|Finding Corrin in World of Light|left]]
Although neither male nor female Corrin appear in the World of Light opening cutscene, they were vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (sans {{SSBU|Kirby}}) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light.

Male Corrin was one of the many fighters that fell under [[Dharkon]]'s control upon Galeem's first defeat. He is on a platform made of clouds in the [[Mysterious Dimension]] sub-area, guarded by the spirit of [[List of spirits (Fire Emblem series)#Azura|Azura]] (whose spirit battle is, ironically, against the default Female Corrin).

==[[Spirit]]s==
Male Corrin's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} as Corrin. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Corrin has been unlocked. Unlocking Corrin in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Female Corrin also has a fighter spirit of her own, only available through the shop. Each fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in ''Ultimate''.

==Trivia==
*Corrin is the only character who, in {{file link|SSBU Classic Mode Difficulty Mural Full.jpg|the mural for Classic Mode}}, is represented by an alternate costume: the default female Corrin. This is consistent with how Corrin is primarily represented with the female version in most ''Fire Emblem'' media after ''Fates'', such as ''Fire Emblem Warriors'', ''Fire Emblem Heroes'', and ''Fire Emblem Engage''.
*While other characters with two selectable genders ({{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, Inkling, {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Robin}}, and the {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s) have two identical [[Announcer]] calls in the English [[Sound Test]] (presumably as placeholders for languages with gender-specific pronouns), Corrin and {{SSBU|Byleth}} are notably the only characters who lack this trait. This is likely due to actually having a name rather than a gender-neutral description in English.
**While Robin technically has an official name, there are three different names between languages (Robin, Daraen, and Reflet), though, like Corrin and Byleth, there is no gender separator.
*Female Corrin's Fighter Spirit uses artwork from ''Fire Emblem: Fates'', where her armor exposes her inner thighs rather than having her wear black leggings. This is most likely an oversight, as the Spirits for Camilla, likewise from ''Fire Emblem: Fates'', and {{SSBU|Mythra}} from ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'' had modified artwork to be less provocative.
**This oversight appears to be shared with the Fighter Spirits for {{SSBU|Palutena}}, {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}, and {{SSBU|Pyra}}, who likewise use unaltered artwork from their games of origin, but have had censorship applied to them in their playable forms.
