Editing Peach (SSBU)

 

{{disambig2|Peach's appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''|the character in other contexts|Princess Peach}}  

'''Peach''' ({{ja|ピーチ|Pīchi}}, ''Peach'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. She was revealed for the game along with the rest of the veterans on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o June 12th, 2018]. However, unlike previous ''Smash Bros.'' games since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'' (her first playable appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series), Peach is now an unlockable character rather than being available from the start. Peach is classified as fighter #13.

As in ''[[Smash 4]]'', {{s|mariowiki|Samantha Kelly}}'s portrayal of Peach from ''[[Brawl]]'' was repurposed for ''Ultimate''.

*Clear {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with {{SSBU|Fox}} or any character in his unlock tree, being the third character unlocked after {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}.

With the exception of the third method, Peach must then be defeated on [[Princess Peach's Castle]].

Peach has been considerably buffed from the transition from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate''. As with most characters, Peach's mobility has been significantly improved, greatly aiding her approach and combo game. The new short hop multiplier which makes short hop aerials weaker affects Peach less than other returning veterans, as she can use her float to bypass the multiplier and still use her aerials low to the ground. Most of her moves remain largely identical to their ''Smash 4'' counterparts, although some of her moves have seen improvements. Her new down tilt is significantly faster, and it cannot be [[tech]]ed, making it a consistent powerful combo tool. Peach can now choose which weapon she wants to use with her forward smash, greatly improving its reliability. [[Peach Bomber]] is also faster and stronger, improving its recovery and KO potential. Lastly, her [[Vegetable]]s are stronger and faster both to pluck and to throw.  

Peach has received a few nerfs, however. Like with many returning veterans, her grabs are considerably slower, making it harder for her to grab her opponents and begin her strong grab game (especially since her dash grab also has more startup lag). Her forward aerial now has a weaker sourspot, making it more difficult to use effectively. Lastly, the weakening of [[rage]] has made [[Peach Parasol]] less effective when she is at higher percents, and her down aerial's new angle makes it more difficult for her to combo her down aerial into Peach Parasol.

Overall, Peach has been considerably improved from her ''Smash 4'' incarnation with her superior mobility and combo game.

*{{change|Peach's dress now has independent physics, like in ''Melee''.}}

*{{change|Peach always faces the screen regardless of which direction she turns. As a result, her stance, moveset, and animations are now mirrored.}}

**{{buff|This allows the player to see which turnip face is held when facing left.}}

**{{change|Down [[taunt]] now has a heart pop up next to her head. She also no longer spins, and winks immediately.}}

**{{change|Side taunt has been shortened, as she now only dances back and forth once instead of three times, though the music notes still appear.}}

*{{change|Peach no longer spins during her [[air dodge]] animation.}}

*{{change|While [[floating]], Peach now faces the screen instead of facing the side, and her dress no longer puffs up while she floats.}}

*{{change|Peach has a new [[Alternate costume (SSBU)#Peach|alternate costume]]—a golden dress. It replaces her [[Princess Daisy]]-inspired costume, most likely due to {{SSBU|Daisy}} now being a separate character as Peach's [[Echo Fighter]].}}

*{{change|Two of Peach's [[victory pose|victory animations]] have been changed, while one is slightly edited.}} [https://youtu.be/IPLgYT7Z8N4?t=220]

*{{change|Peach's stun animation is sped up.}}

*{{buff|Like all characters, Peach's [[jumpsquat]] animation now takes three frames to complete (down from 5).}}

*{{buff|Peach [[walk]]s slightly faster (0.86 → 0.924).}}

*{{buff|Peach's base and max additional [[air acceleration]] values have been adjusted, but are overall slightly higher, now matching those of {{SSBU|Wario}} (base: 0.01 → 0.04; max: 0.1 → 0.08; total: 0.11 → 0.12).}}

**{{buff|As a result, Peach's floating speed and distance have improved.}}

*{{buff|If used while floating, Peach's aerials still behave like ground moves when hitting shields, thus now granting them more shieldstun compared to short hop aerials.}}

*{{change|Peach's [[falling speed]] and fast falling speed are slightly faster (1.15 → 1.19) and (1.84 → 1.904) respectively.}}

**{{change|[[Down tilt]] has been changed from a sweep with her hand to a sweep kick.}}

**{{buff|Down tilt is significantly faster with less startup (frame 13 → 8) and ending lag (frame 28 → 24) and like with all grounded meteor smashes, it can no longer be [[tech]]ed, making it much more consistent for combos.}}

**{{change|The stronger and weaker hits have been reversed: the hitbox on the heart is now stronger than the hitbox on her shoulders, much like in ''Brawl''.}}

**{{buff|First hit of dash attack combos into the second hit much more reliably.}}

**{{buff|Second hit of dash attack has a slightly larger hitbox (5u/4u → 5u/4.5u).}}

**{{change|Dash attack now has hearts at the end of the move.}}

**{{buff|Forward smash no longer cycles between its three weapons in a set order, instead being determined by which angle the stick is held. This greatly improves its reliability, letting Peach use a particular weapon repeatedly without having to telegraph it.}}

***{{buff|Peach can switch to whichever weapons she wants to use during her charging animation for forward smash (depending on angle).}}

*[[Down smash]]:

**{{nerf|The final hit has more startup lag (frame 26 → 30).}}

**{{buff|[[Up smash]] has an additional hitbox at the tip, where a heart graphic appears at the end of the ribbon.}}

*{{buff|All aerials have less landing lag (11 frames → 7 (neutral), 22 frames → 13 (forward), 18 frames → 11 (back), 12 frames → 7 (up), 13 frames → 8 (down)).}}

**{{nerf|Forward aerial now has a sourspot, dealing 1% less damage and KOing later.}}

===Throws/other attacks===

*{{nerf|Dash grab has more startup lag (frame 8 → 9) and all of her grabs have more ending lag (frame 32 → 37 (standing), frame 40 → 45 (dash), frame 38 → 40 (pivot)).}}

*{{change|[[Toad]] now appears when Peach [[grab]]s an opponent to attack alongside her when she uses her [[pummel]] and [[throw]]s. Toad also still appears in her [[back throw]] and [[up throw]], despite not directly attacking the opponent.}}

**{{change|Because of this, Peach has a new [[pummel]], where Toad punches the opponent.}}

**{{change|Peach has a new [[forward throw]], where Toad headbutts the opponent away.}}

**{{change|Peach also has a new [[down throw]], where Toad headbutts the opponent into the ground.}}

**{{buff|Her new down throw has more combo potential due to her faster jumpsquat and full hop.}}

*{{b|Toad|move}}:

**{{buff|Toad deals more damage per spore (2% → 3.5%).}}

**{{nerf|Toad now leaves Peach stationary in the air on the first use instead of making her hover upwards for a short time, making the move worse for edge-guarding and hindering its recovery potential. Toad's intangibility also has a shorter duration (frames 11-14 → 8-10).}}

*[[Peach Bomber]]:

**{{buff|Peach Bomber now deals more damage (10% → 12%) and knockback.}}

**{{buff|Peach Bomber does more [[shield]] damage, depleting half the shield, making it a more reliable move.}}

**{{buff|Peach Bomber now has less startup (frame 14 (grounded), frame 20 (aerial) → 13 (both)) and ending lag (frame 65 → 63 (grounded), frame 95 → 88 (aerial), frame 21 → 20 (hit)).}}

**{{buff|Peach can control her drift much earlier during lag after an aerial Peach Bomber.}}

**{{buff|Peach Parasol has less landing lag when open.}}

**{{buff|Peach Parasol's final hit now inflicts slightly more knockback.}}

**{{nerf|Peach Parasol deals significantly less knockback when it has opened up during Peach's descent.}}

***{{buff|However, this also means that Peach can rack up more damage similar to how it was in Melee.}}

**{{nerf|The weakening of [[rage]] has significantly hindered Peach Parasol's KO potential with rage, as it can no longer [[OHKO]] opponents unless used near the upper blast line.}}

*[[Vegetable]]:

**{{buff|Peach's item throw has slightly less ending lag, allowing for easier follow-ups (frame 27 → 25)}}

***{{buff|The power of dot-eye turnips have increased from 12 to 16.}}

***{{buff|The power of stitch-face turnips have increased from 23 to 24.}}

**{{buff|Turnips have higher knockback growth, allowing them to KO at high percentages.}}

**{{buff|Turnips can now beat certain hitboxes (instead of clanking with them), such as opponents' up specials.}}

*Peach can [[Floating|float]] for 2.5 seconds.

|neutralname= 

|neutraldesc=Slaps the enemy twice with the same arm (either her left or right depending on which way she faces). At low percentages, the first hit can lock.

|ftiltname= 

|ftiltdmg=7% (early, clean leg), 8% (clean foot)

|ftiltdesc=Kicks forward 180 degrees from low to high. Has good range for a forward tilt, and unusually for an attack of its type, launches opponents vertically, allowing it to perform air combos.

|utiltname= 

|utiltdesc=Extends her arm upward, creating a discharge of pink magic in the form of a heart.

|dtiltname= 

|dtiltdesc=A low sweep kick. This move meteor smashes grounded opponents. Decently strong attack with moderate startup that can follow up into a forward smash at lower percents, forward or up aerials at mid-percents, and into an up special at higher percents. Due to the removal of teching grounded meteor smashes, Peach's down tilt has better combo potential.

|dashname= 

|dashdesc=Creating magical sparks in her hands, Peach strikes with both arms extended forward, then quickly spreads her arms out.  

|fsmashname=A Tool For Every Job

|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|18}} (frying pan), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|15}} (golf club), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|13.5}} (tennis racket)

|fsmashdesc=Strikes with a bludgeon, depending on the angle of the smash: angling upward uses the frying pan, angling downward uses the tennis racket, and no angling uses the golf club. Each weapon has different properties - the frying pan has more vertical knockback (and the most damage), the golf club has more diagonal knockback (and the most range), and the tennis racket has more horizontal knockback and is a strong semi-spike.

|usmashname=Ribbon Dance

|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|12}} (ribbon), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|17}} (heart)

|usmashdesc=Raises her arm and twirls a pink ribbon. A heart appears at the tip of the ribbon, which is where the sweetspot is located.

|dsmashname= 

|dsmashdesc=Peach does an anticlockwise spin on her left leg and utilizes the edge of her dress, slashing multiple times.

|nairname= 

|nairdesc=Spins around at an angle with arms extended, dealing damage to her left and right sides. The late hit can lock.

|fairname= 

|fairdesc=Peach grabs the crown off her head and strikes with it in a vertical arc with magic sparkles. Has the slowest startup out of all her aerial attacks. However, it is also her strongest aerial, if sweetspotted. Her arm possesses a sourspot that deals 1% less damage, and KO's much later.

|bairname= 

|bairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|10.2}} (mid), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7}} (late)

|bairdesc=Peach strikes behind her by thrusting her butt. She creates a heart, although it is aesthetic, and possesses no hitbox. At low percent, even hitting clean, can lock.

|uairname= 

|uairdesc=Swipes above her head with her arms from left to right, creating 2 magic rainbow trails. When low floating, only the 2nd hit will hit medium to large opponents, while small characters avoid it entirely.

|dairname= 

|dairdesc=Rapidly kicks straight downwards four times. Depending on how the last hit lands, may launch opponents behind her. From a short hop, it can even combo another down aerial after her double jump.

|grabname= 

|grabdesc=Reaches out with her left or right arm.

|pummelname= 

|pummeldesc=Toad punches the opponent.

|fthrowname= 

|bthrowname= 

|bthrowdesc=Places opponent behind her and bumps him/her away with her butt. Toad is present, mimicing her butt thrust, but doesn't contribute any damage. The strongest of Peach's throws.

|uthrowname= 

|uthrowdesc=Puts opponent above her, and strikes him/her upward. Toad leaps up with Peach, but doesn't hit the opponent.

|dthrowname= 

|dthrowdesc=After putting the opponent on the ground, Toad leaps up and headbutts them, sending them upwards and behind Peach. Good for starting combos, as it can lead to her back air and forward tilt at low to mid percents.

|edgedesc=While getting up, sweep kicks in front of her.

|nsdesc=Peach covers her ears with a terrified expression and turns away as Toad appears in front of her, arms spread out. If hit, Toad will retaliate with a spray of spores, and Peach will wince. If attacked from behind, Peach and Toad switch places. Direction can be switched manually, but it has strict timing.

|ssdesc=Peach lunges her body forward to deliver a powerful butt bash. Upon impact, she rebounds away from the victim, allowing for hit-and-run tactics. Deals considerable shield damage. Smash-inputting the move has her travel further.

|fsdesc=Peach performs a dance, causing all of her enemies to fall [[Asleep|asleep]]. The closer they are to her when she activates it, the more damage they will take and the longer they'll slumber. Three giant peaches appear, healing 20%. This Final Smash fails to effect anyone outside the range of the screen borders.

Although Peach does not appear in the World of Light opening cutscene, she was vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (except {{SSBU|Kirby}}) when [[Galeem]] unleashed his beams of light. She is seen in the gameplay section, where she unlocks a new area.

Peach is in a desolate platform in the Molten Fortress sub-area where [[Giga Bowser]] is fought, a callback to her usual role as a damsel in distress.

*''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is the first ''Smash Bros.'' game where Peach holds an object, specifically her [[Peach Parasol|Parasol]], in her official artwork.

*One of Peach's new winning animations resembles part of her Hole-in-One animation from ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Golf: World Tour}}'', albeit without the parasol.

*Oddly, the red lace at the bottom of Peach's dress disappears when viewed inside from her dress. This did not occur in her ''SSB4'' model.
