Villager is a small [[weight|middleweight]] (weighing the same as {{SSBU|Lucario}}, {{SSBU|Wolf}}, {{SSBU|Mythra}}, {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}, and {{SSBU|Steve}}) who is an overall floaty character of below-average mobility. Although he has an average [[jump]]ing height, Villager sports a slow [[falling speed]] (the 12th slowest, tied with {{SSBU|Luigi}}), and below-average [[air speed]], [[air acceleration]] and [[gravity]]. Comparatively, Villager has a below-average [[walk]]ing speed and the 7th-slowest [[dash]]ing speed (although his [[initial dash]] is decent). However, his [[traction]] is tied with {{SSBU|Isabelle}}, {{SSBU|Ness}} and {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}} for the 5th-highest in the game. Due to these attributes, once the opponent closes the gap, it is difficult for Villager to create space again, although his powerful camping game compensates for that to a degree.

Villager is among the most unorthodox characters on the roster with several unique moves, including multiple standard attacks that are actually projectiles, similar to {{SSBU|Mega Man}}. Villager possesses a strong [[camping]] game. His forward and back 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 useful for "stealing" character-generated [[item]]s, such as {{SSB4|R.O.B.}}'s [[Gyro]], preventing them from being useable as long as Villager retains them and thus further weakening the opponent's ability to compete with him at range. Despite his poor mobility, Villager possesses a reliable [[sex kick]] in his neutral aerial that has very quick startup at frame 3, giving him a relatively easy time restraining the opponents if attempting to approach to point-blank proximity.

===Tier placement and history===
===Tier placement and history===
In the early metagame, players noticed how the changes to the game's mechanics, which increases the pace of the game and encourages more aggressive gameplay over camping, impaired Villager's camping playstyle by making one of his biggest strengths less effective. As such, opinions on Villager have been low for most of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s lifespan, and although Villager was able to receive some notable representation from players such as {{Sm|kept}} and {{Sm|JAVI ON EARTH}}, Villager's overall representation in ''Ultimate'' remained in the bottom 20 for most of the game's competitive lifespan. As such, Villager was ranked 69th on the first tier list, ranking towards the end of the lower-mid tier in the C- tier.
In the early metagame, players notified that the changes to the game's mechanics, which increases the pace of the game and encourages more aggressive gameplay over camping, impaired Villager's camping playstyle by making one of his biggest strengths less effective. As such, opinions on Villager have been low for most of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s lifespan. Although the character has received solid runs from players such as {{Sm|kept}} and {{Sm|JAVI ON EARTH}}, their results are often hindered by inconsistency (kept) or a lack of out-of-region results (JAVI ON EARTH), leaving the character with limited results at majors and representation that consistently ranks in the bottom 20. As a result, Villager is currently ranked 72nd on the current tier list and lower than his semi-clone {{SSBU|Isabelle}}, with some players believing the character should be ranked lower.
 
Even with this low ranking, Villager's playerbase remained stagnant as kept's results became increasingly inconsistent and JAVI ON EARTH's activity remained mostly in Florida. Not helping Villager was the rise of several characters ranked below Villager, including {{SSBU|Lucario}}, {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}, and Villager's semi-clone {{SSBU|Isabelle}}. Isabelle especially was considered by many, especially in Japan, to be better than Villager due to Isabelle possessing a more skilled playerbase and better representation in the metagame, especially by mid-2023. As such, Villager slipped three spots to 72nd on the second tier list, ranking in the D- tier.

Villager Boy's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} as Villager. 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. Villager Girl 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''.

*When Villager uses his Up Special, the color of the balloons that appear depends on who controls the character (gray for CPU, red for P1, blue for P2, etc.). {{SSBU|Isabelle}} also shares this trait.
