Villager | Villager is an unorthodox character with several unique moves, including several standard attacks that are actually projectiles, similar to {{SSBU|Mega Man}}. | ||
Villager possesses a strong [[camping]] game. His forward and backward aerials are long-ranged slingshot attacks which, in combination with [[Lloid Rocket]], are great for harassing opponents from a distance. Opposing projectiles can either be [[Pocket]]ed or blocked by a [[Timber|tree]]; Pocket can also be used to "steal" character-generated [[item]]s such as {{SSB4|R.O.B.}}'s [[Gyro]], preventing them from being used as long as Villager keeps them and thus further weakening the opponent's ability to compete with him at range. One caveat, though, is that Villager is a character of below-average mobility; in particular, he has the fourth slowest [[dash]]ing speed in the game (albeit still noticeably faster than the bottom three), so once the opponent closes the gap it can be difficult for Villager to create space again. Despite this, Villager possesses three [[sex kick]]s out of his five aerial moves of which all have quick startups, giving him a relatively easy time knocking away an enemy if they approach to point blank range. | |||
Should camping not be desirable, Villager's projectiles can also serve as good [[approach]] | Should camping not be desirable, Villager's projectiles can also serve as good [[approach]] tools. In particular, launching Lloid Rocket and then running behind it is a strategy that limits the opponent's options and provides a chance to [[punish]] their reaction. Using his down aerial in a [[short hop]] is also a good approach option, as it is a [[disjointed]] attack with little [[lag]]. | ||
Despite being a middleweight, Villager | Despite being a middleweight character, Villager's [[recovery]] is one of the best in the game thanks to {{b|Balloon Trip|move}}. This move allows him to fly a great distance at a respectable speed, and is surprisingly difficult to [[gimp]]; although the balloons can be popped to render Villager [[helpless]], doing so requires two separate hits, and hitting Villager himself will allow him to simply use the move again. Lloid Rocket further bolsters Villager's recovery, as launching it stalls his descent while threatening edgeguarders. Alternatively, Villager can ride Lloid back to the stage, although this is punishable and can be [[reflect]]ed. | ||
Villager is also a very potent [[edgeguard]]er, with a wealth of options to | Villager is also a very potent [[edgeguard]]er, with a wealth of options to finish recovering foes. His forward smash allows him to drop a bowling ball from the ledge; this is a powerful attack that can be difficult for an opponent recovering low to avoid. If the opponent's recovery is slow enough or a tree is set up beforehand, [[Timber]] can also be used from the ledge for an even more devastating attack, or to reduce an opponent's options should they grab the ledge. Alternatively, Villager can jump offstage and pursue with an aerial attack; his down aerial is a powerful [[meteor smash]] should it produce three turnips, while a clean hit from his slingshot has enough knockback to be deadly near the [[blast line]], and is generally the best choice against an opponent recovering high. Many of his aerials are [[sex kick]]s as well which, when combined with his extremely long-ranged recovery, allows him to [[gimp]] opponents pretty easily. | ||
However, | However, Villager's ability to set up edgeguards in the first place is hampered by his slow [[grab]]. Although his net has relatively long range, it is one of the laggiest grabs in the game, making it very punishable. As such, attempting to throw an opponent offstage is a risky prospect, and Villager's ability to shield-grab is quite limited, although he does have other good [[out of shield]] options, such as his neutral aerial. | ||
Outside of edgeguarding, Villager has multiple powerful KO moves, but none of them are easy to land from a [[neutral game|neutral situation]]. His forward smash, while powerful, is a laggy and short-ranged attack when | Outside of edgeguarding, Villager has multiple powerful KO moves, but none of them are easy to land from a [[neutral game|neutral situation]]. His forward smash, while powerful, is a laggy and short-ranged attack when used onstage. Lloid Rocket has KO power when ridden, but this is slow and predictable. Timber's axe requires a tree to be present and has considerable ending lag, while using the tree itself is slow and requires staying in one place. Villager's up aerial is a strong [[juggling]] move and can score KOs off the upper blast line, but only if luck permits. Pocketing and throwing back a sufficiently strong projectile makes for a deadly attack, generally enough to KO at mid percentages and even instantly shatter full [[shield]]s, but this is matchup-dependent and will not be easily allowed by a smart opponent. Overall, if the opponent maintains control of center stage, Villager can have trouble finding KO opportunities. | ||
Villager is considered a solid character by many in [[competitive play]]. However, outside of Japan, his representation is rather poor. | |||
==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''== | ==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''== | ||
Villager | Villager received relatively few direct changes in his transition to ''Ultimate'', resulting in his core playstyle remaining relatively unchanged, similarly to {{SSBU|Mario}}. When it comes to direct changes, despite being a high tier in ''SSB4'' (25th out of 55 characters), Villager has received a mix of buffs and nerfs, but was directly buffed overall. However, while Villager has received some noteworthy buffs that make his playstyle easier to execute, the indirect changes to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s engine have noticeably toned down its efficacy compared to the rest of the cast, causing him to be overall nerfed. | ||
Villager's camping abilities have been considerably | Regarding Villager's improvements, his camping abilities have been considerably buffed. [[Pocket]] not only now stores projectiles and items indefinitely, but also has less ending lag after pocketing them, and Villager can now pocket items with a grab. [[Lloid Rocket]] has notably increased knockback at low percentages, allowing Villager to win the neutral game easier. Villager's aerials all have less landing lag, and down aerial now has a sweetspot that always meteor smashes, instead of doing it if he uses three turnips; these changes further improve their dominant air game. Villager's ground game has seen a few improvements as well: his jab has now a rapid jab and a finisher, significantly improving safety its damage racking ability, down tilt's sourspot is stronger, his dash attack is much faster, his up smash connects better and has improved KO potential and down smash has increased range and more base knockback, making it more reliable for burying and harder to escape from. Villager's grab game also has been improved: his grabs are much faster and can pocket items, while his throws have both better edge guarding potential (forward and back throws) and combo potential (down throw). Villager's previously mediocre mobility has also been improved, while the universal 3-frame jumpsquat further improving their combo potential, notably with their throws. Lastly, the changes made to [[air dodging]] noticeably benefit Villager, as they can more easily punish opponents after a mistake, giving their aerial attacks further utility and notably improving their [[edge-guarding]] ability. | ||
However, Villager also received some notable direct nerfs. Most of Villager's ground attacks also have more ending lag and/or less range, while the raw power throughout their standard moveset has been toned down, notably on his forward smash and all tilt attacks; for the latter point, up tilt is no longer among the strongest of its kind in the game. His moveset's lower raw power is also exacerbated by the weakening of [[rage]], which forces Villager to rely much more on edge-guarding to take a stock. Down aerial also had its startup nearly doubled, making it harder for Villager to combat juggling. His previously heavily disjointed pivot grab has much less range, counterbalancing some of the benefits his grab game has received. The changes to jab this remove its ability to reliably [[jab cancel]] and removes their kill confirm from ''Smash 4'' to [[Timber]]'s axe. While Villager's recovery remains incredibly long-distanced, it has been nerfed nonetheless, as the helium for [[Balloon Trip]] now takes longer to recharge, which allows opponents to edgeguard Villager much more easily. Villager is also noticeably lighter, which further hurts his survivability and doesn't allow him to make use of rage as effectively. | |||
However, while his direct nerfs are not as significant as their buffs, Villager is significantly harmed by the indirect changes to gameplay mechanics, likely more than any other character. Villager's floaty physics and camping-focused playstyle, whose core is essentially unchanged from ''Smash 4'', fare worse with the universal changes made to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s engine, as the universal increase in mobility prioritizes faster-paced, more aggressive gameplay; most characters are now able to get past Villager's zoning tools with less issue, while Villager's own faster mobility doesn't properly compensate for this. Alongside with nerfs to Balloon Trip, edge-guarding being more prominent again further hurts Villager's survivability. Most projectile-based veteran characters, such as {{SSBU|Young Link}}, {{SSBU|Pac-Man}} and {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}} have also received buffs that address some of his issues against opposing camping, whereas newcomers {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}} have camping abilities that are just as strong, alongside greater range on his standard moveset. Combined with the nerfs to his raw power and the weakening of rage, most if not all of these characters are now capable of overcoming Villager, further reducing the effectiveness of his strong camping game despite being greatly buffed. | |||
Overall, Villager's gameplan is largely the same as in ''Smash 4'' as a result of receiving less direct changes than most of the cast; however, the significantly changed environment renders his playstyle much less effective, meaning Villager fares noticeably worse in ''Ultimate'' than in ''Smash 4''. Some professionals think that Villager's playstyle has became so much less effective that he is potentially a low-tier character, whereas previously they were a high-tier in ''Smash 4''. This reflects to his tournament representation, as he is an even rarer pick in tournaments than before. However, while Villager's tournament results are below average in amount, he has had a few strong results thanks to the efforts of players including {{sm|BobbyWasabi}}, {{sm|Panda Bair}}, and particularly {{sm|kept}}. As a result, Villager's true viability in tournaments is up for debate. | |||
Overall, Villager's gameplan is largely the same as in '' | |||

In the early metagame, players noted that the changes to game mechanics, which increases the pace of the game and encourages more aggressive gameplay over camping, harmed Villager since most characters that once struggled against his camping gameplay can now get through it much easier. Furthermore, other campy characters that were once considered to be inferior to Villager, such as Mega Man, Pac-Man, and Duck Hunt, received noticeable buffs and benefits from the game mechanics. As such, Villager suffered from minimal representation, and players considered him to be a lower-mid or low-tier character. Despite this, thanks to the efforts of players such as {{Sm|Panda Bair}} and {{Sm|kept}}, some players have acknowledged Villager's strengths and believe that it prevents him from falling too far behind. As such, Villager’s current viability remains questionable. | |||

Villager | Male Villager's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Villager has been unlocked. Unlocking Villager 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 Villager also has a fighter spirit of her own, available through the shop. Each fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in ''Ultimate''. | ||
