'''Villager''' ({{ja|むらびと|Murabito}}, ''Murabito'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Villager is now [[unlockable character|unlockable]], instead of being available from the [[starter character|start]] in ''SSB4''. Villager is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #45]], the first fighter number of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' [[veteran]]s.

Villager is ranked 72nd out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him in the D- tier. This is a huge decline from his ranking in ''SSB4'', where he was ranked 25th out of 54, and worse than {{SSBU|Isabelle}}, his own [[semi-clone]].

==How to unlock==
Complete one of the following:
*Play [[Vs. match]]es, with Villager being the 6th character to be unlocked.
*Clear {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with {{SSBU|Pikachu}} or anyone in its unlock tree, being the 1st character unlocked.
*Have Villager join the player's party in [[World of Light]].
With the exception of the third method, Villager must be defeated on [[Smashville]]. In World of Light, he is fought on {{SSBU|Final Destination}}.

==Attributes==
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.

Should camping not be desirable, Villager's projectiles can also serve as good [[approach]]ing 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 forward and back aerials in a [[short hop]] is also a good approaching option, as they are reasonably safe [[disjointed]] attacks with little [[lag]].

Despite being a middleweight, Villager possesses a surprisingly flexible recovery 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]], hitting Villager himself will allow him to simply perform 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 threaten recovering opponents. His [[forward smash]], one of the strongest in ''Ultimate'', allows him to drop a bowling ball from the ledge; this is a powerful attack that can be difficult for an opponent to avoid provided that they are recovering low. If the opponent's recovery is slow enough or a tree is set up beforehand, [[Timber]] can also be performed 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. Several of his aerials are [[sex kick]]s as well, which, when combined with his extremely long-ranged recovery, allows him to [[gimp]] opponents fairly easily.

However, Villager suffers from notable flaws. Villager's ability to set up edgeguards in the first place is impaired by his slow [[grab]]. Although his net has relatively long range, it has exceptionally high ending lag that makes 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 and up smash. In addition, Villager's poor mobility also allows speed demons, such as {{SSBU|Fox}} and {{SSBU|Sonic}}, to not only easily outrun him, but also immediately catch up to him and shut down Villager's camping game. Furthermore, Villager also especially struggles against characters with a [[reflection|reflector]], as since most of his projectiles are characterized with high power (like his forward smash and Timber), characters with reflectors can reflect the projectile and turn the tides by dealing a potentially deadly blow from Villager's reflected projectile that can often lead into an early KO, even at lower precents. A notable example is {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}: if Villager successfully cuts off Timber, Mr. Game & Watch can use [[Oil Panic]] and send the tree flying back to Villager with extreme knockback. By extension, Oil Panic can also reflect Villager's powerful forward smash, which is also a projectile, and can prove deadly when Villager is near the ledge, especially at higher precents of with [[rage]].

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 performed onstage. Up smash is a potent KO option, but is very punishable as well and is susceptible to opponents falling out of the move entirely due to its multi-hitting nature. Lloid Rocket has relatively high KO power when ridden, but is sluggish and easy to punish. Timber's axe requires a tree to be present and has considerable ending lag, while using the tree itself is slow and requires Villager to stand in one place. Villager's up aerial is a strong [[juggling]] move and can score KOs off the upper blast line, but is somewhat luck-based and can be reasonably difficult to land. Pocketing and throwing back a sufficiently strong projectile makes for a deadly attack, generally enough to KO at medium percentages and instantly shatter full [[shield]]s, but this is matchup-dependent and will not be easily allowed by a professional opponent. Overall, if the opponent maintains control of center stage, Villager can have trouble finding KO opportunities, especially lower than medium precents.

Overall, Villager is a somewhat polarizing glass cannon camper who excels when getting his gameplan going, but struggles when the opponent holds the advantage over him. Villager excels at restraining opponents with projectiles to allow enough time to set up traps. Villager especially performs well offstage, where he can easily edgeguard and gimp most of the cast while being able to easily recover from nearly any distance. Due to his array of projectiles and [[Pocket]], Villager also has great counterplay to zoners. However, Villager does not fare better in terms of close-range encounters and can be easily overwhelmed by several rushdowners courtesy of his lackluster approach.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Villager has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in his transition to ''Ultimate''; he received relatively few direct changes, resulting in his core playstyle remaining relatively unchanged with an easier learning curve. However, while objectively buffed, the indirect changes to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s engine have pronounced his nerfs more while noticeably toning down his playstyle's efficacy. Overall, Villager has been significantly nerfed in the transition.

Villager's camping abilities have been considerably improved. [[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. The universal reduction on [[landing lag]] benefits all of Villager's aerials, and [[down aerial]] now has a sweetspot that always meteor smashes, instead of doing it if he uses three turnips; these changes further improve his dominant air game. Villager's ground and grab games have seen a few improvements as well. [[Neutral attack]] now a rapid jab and a finisher, significantly improving its safety and damage racking ability; [[down tilt]]'s sourspot is stronger; his dash attack is much faster; his up smash connects better and is more powerful; and down smash has increased range and is more reliable for burying and harder to escape from. Villager's 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).

Some of the universal changes to gameplay benefit Villager; aside from lower landing lag on his aerials, his previously mediocre mobility has been improved, with faster ground and air speeds and a universal 3-frame jumpsquat improving his combo potential, notably with his throws. The changes made to [[air dodging]] also noticeably benefit Villager, as he can more easily punish opponents after a mistake, giving his aerial attacks further utility and notably improving their [[edge-guarding]] ability; and he can use one to recover with ease thanks to his floatiness.

Villager also received some notable direct nerfs, though. Most of Villager's ground attacks also have more ending lag and/or less range, while the raw power throughout his standard moveset has been toned down, notably on his [[forward smash]] and all [[tilt attack]]s; notably, up tilt is no longer among the strongest of its kind. 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 neutral attack remove its ability to reliably [[jab cancel]] and removes his KO confirms from ''SSB4'', most infamously 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.

The most significant nerfs to Villager come from the indirect changes to gameplay mechanics, likely harming him more than any other character. Arguably the biggest nerf is the universal increase in mobility; Villager's floaty physics and camping-focused playstyle, whose core is essentially unchanged from ''SSB4'', fare worse with the universally faster mobility, which prioritizes faster-paced, more aggressive gameplay; this makes it easier for many characters to get past Villager's zoning tools with less issue, while Villager's own faster mobility doesn't properly compensate for this. Aside from this, Villager's moveset's lower raw power is exacerbated by the weakening of [[rage]], and combined with his lower weight, he is less capable of making use of it as effectively, forcing Villager to rely much more on edge-guarding to take a stock. Alongside with nerfs to Balloon Trip, edge-guarding being more prominent again further hurts Villager's survivability. All of these changes combined have now made several characters capable of overcoming (and in some cases, overwhelming) Villager, further reducing the effectiveness of his strong camping game despite being greatly buffed.

Overall, Villager's gameplan is largely the same as in ''SSB4'' as a result of receiving less direct changes than most of the cast; however, the significantly changed environment has effectively crippled his defensive playstyle, forcing Villager to shift to a more offensive playstle that's far less effective, and this is further pronounced by his worse survivability and lower raw power. Despite receiving buffs by game updates, they do not properly compensate for the gameplay changes making his kit less effective. Egregiously, most veterans have received various buffs to varying degrees, with melee-based characters benefitting more from the increased mobility and projectile-based veteran characters receiving buffs that address some of their issues against opposing camping, allowing them to overcome Villager. Lastly, ''Ultimate'' has seen the return of veterans like {{SSBU|Snake}} and {{SSBU|Young Link}}, while introducing newcomers such as {{SSBU|Hero}} and {{SSBU|Min Min}}, all of which have zoning abilities that are just as strong, alongside greater range, outclassing Villager in competitive play. All in all, Villager fares drastically worse in ''Ultimate'' than in ''SSB4'', being one of the most nerfed characters in the transition.

==Update history==
Villager received a mix of buffs, nerfs and glitch fixes via game updates, but was buffed overall. The universal projectile shield damage nerf in Version 3.0.0 affected Villager more than most other characters do to much of the moveset utilizing projectiles. Version 3.1.0 buffed down smash overall to hit more reliably, but slightly over-corrected to the point of it being unreliable again. This was fixed in Version 4.0.0. Up smash was given increased knockback to combo out of buried opponents more easily, and Version 7.0.0 made the shield larger.

Version 8.0.0 offered a suite of buffs and the removal of the Lloid Jacket. Neutral attack was given multiple buffs to hit more reliably, included higher hitstun multipliers, larger hitboxes and more of them, and more range overall to mitigate missing opponents under certain conditions. Up tilt was granted intangibily and a hitstun modifier to be better at an anti-air. Up smash became more powerful, Up aerial has more knockback, and Down aerial starts faster. Timber was made safer to use, easier to break the opponent's shield, and the Axe was made more powerful. Version 11.0.0 had a minor update to homogenize the crumpling state across the cast.

Overall, whether Villager fares better or worse since launch is debatable. The projectile nerfs negatively affected the keep away aspect of Villager's gameplan, though this was at least partially if not fully compensated with improved trapping capabilities and stuffing out slower opponents.

''For a gallery of Villager's hitboxes, see [[Villager (SSBU)/Hitboxes|here]].''

{{MovesetTable
|game=SSBU
|neutralcount=1
|neutralname=Left Punch ({{ja|左パンチ|Hidari Panchi}}) / Right Punch ({{ja|右パンチ|Migi Panchi}}) / Finish Punch ({{ja|フィニッシュパンチ|Finisshu Panchi}})
|neutral1dmg=1% (loop), 2% (final hit)
|neutraldesc=A quick series of alternating punches with boxing gloves that end with a strong straight jab at the end. It can no longer jab cancel because of the new finisher. However, it can rack up a great amount of damage quickly. This is a possible nod to the playable ''Punch-Out'' {{s|Nookipedia|NES game}} in the original ''Animal Crossing''.
|ftiltname=Umbrella ({{ja|かさ|Kasa}})
|ftiltdmg=9%
|ftiltdesc=Swings a Paw Umbrella (using its design from ''Wild World''/''City Folk'') horizontally. Good disjointed range.
|utiltname=Wooden Stick ({{ja|きのぼう|Kinobō}})
|utiltdmg=5% (hit 1), 6% (hit 2)
|utiltdesc=Waves a stick upwards in an arc above their head, swinging it back and forth thrice. Hits twice, with very long duration and the second hit having vertical knockback that can KO at high percentages. The back hit typically misses smaller characters.
|dtiltname=Weed Pluck ({{ja|草ぬき|Kusa Nuki}})
|dtiltdmg=12% (weed), 10% (shockwave)
|dtiltdesc=Pulls a weed out of the ground, knocking foes upwards. Decently fast, coming out on frame 9. Like up tilt, it hits hard for a tilt of its speed, being able to KO at high percentages. Has deceptively long disjointed range, though it is the strongest close-up.
|dashname=Flower Pot ({{ja|うえきばち|Uekibachi}})
|dashdmg=10% (clean), 6% (late)
|dashdesc=Falls over and drops a potted sapling, which flies a short distance. The pot will either shatter instantly upon hitting the ground, or it will bounce off the ground once. Its hitbox disappears if the latter happens, causing the potted sapling to deal no damage after the bounce. The pot deals less damage if it hits the opponent while it flies, but this gives the move a good range. It can be dropped from ledges to allow it to fly further, making for a possible edge guarding option. However, the potted sapling will disappear after traveling a set distance.
|fsmashname=Bowling Ball ({{ja|ボウリングのたま|Bōringu no Tama}})
|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|15}} (early), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|17}} (clean)
|fsmashdesc=Leans forwards and drops a bowling ball. It is safe on shield and has enough knockback to KO reliably around 95% (60% fully charged). However, it has a poor horizontal range and noticeable startup as well as high-end lag. Notably, the ball can fall off edges if the Villager stands near one, making it great for edge-guarding if the opponent recovers low. The bowling ball does slightly more damage and knockback if it falls a certain distance before hitting opponents. However, as the bowling ball is considered a projectile, it can be reflected even at point-blank range.
|usmashname=Fireworks ({{ja|はなび|Hanabi}})
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|3}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|1.5}} (hits 2 - 5), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|4.6}} (hit 6)
|usmashdesc=Detonates a {{s|Nookipedia|Fountain Firework}} from ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf'', creating an explosion above themself. It has a fairly large hitbox and pulls opponents to the center of the blast, although it does not always connect properly and opponents can be knocked out of the move by any of the first few hits, especially at very high percentages. It can KO most characters at about 120%. Interestingly, the blast can be reflected, though Villager won't take any damage due to the hitbox height.
|dsmashname=Dig ({{ja|穴ほり|Ana Hori}}, ''Hole Dig'')
|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|6}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|3}} (further opponents on the ground)
|dsmashdesc=Takes out a {{s|Nookipedia|shovel}} and digs in front, then behind themself. Fast startup for a smash attack, making it a decent out of shield option. It can bury grounded opponents; opponents in the air instead have weak knockback inflicted to them. This is the only smash attack in the series that cannot KO when grounded. It has moderate ending lag, and it can follow-up into Village's strongest attacks like forward smash if the opponent is at high percentages.
|nairname=Forward Somersault ({{ja|前転|Zenten}})
|nairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (late)
|nairdesc=Does a cartwheel. Acts as a decently long [[sex kick]] that deals good knockback in the first frame. Has a very fast startup (hits on frame 3), allowing Villager to use it as an extremely safe out-of-shield option and combo breaker, and the length of time its hitbox stays out also gives Villager a lot of protection.
|fairname=Front Slingshot ({{ja|前パチンコ|Zen Pachinko}})
|fairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4}} (mid), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2.5}} (late)
|fairdesc=Fires a {{s|Nookipedia|slingshot}} pellet from ''Animal Crossing: Wild World'' that travels slightly less than half the length of Final Destination. The pellet deals low knockback and deals even less knockback if hit in the final frames, similar to Mega Man's neutral air. The pellet does moderate knockback at point-blank range, which is deadly especially offstage.
|bairname=Back Slingshot ({{ja|後パチンコ|Go Pachinko}})
|bairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (mid), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|3}} (late)
|bairdesc=Like the forward aerial, but aimed backward. It has a slightly slower startup but deals more knockback and damage compared to their forward aerial, and is interruptible 4 frames earlier. Useful for KOing opponents if Villager's forward air becomes too stale to do so reliably due to excessive use.
|uairname=Upward Turnips ({{ja|上カブ|Jō Kabu}})
|uairdmg=One: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|8}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4}} (late)<br>Two: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|10}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (late)<br>Three: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|13}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|6}} (late)
|uairdesc=Randomly swings one, two, or three {{s|Nookipedia|turnips}} upward. Damage depends on the number of turnips, and the attack acts as a sex kick with a very long duration. High power with three turnips, and it's fast, coming out on frame 6. Villager will swing three turnips in [[Home-Run Contest]].
|dairname=Downward Turnips ({{ja|下カブ|Shita Kabu}})
|dairdmg=One: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|8}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4}} (late)<br>Two: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|10}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (late)<br>Three: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|13}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|6}} (late)
|dairdesc=Randomly swings one, two, or three {{s|Nookipedia|turnips}} downwards. The same damage values as up aerial, and is also a sex kick. It comes out slightly slower but is still quite fast. A clean hit with any amount of turnips can [[meteor smash]] if the ends of the turnips hit the opponent; the early hits of the turnip that do not meteor instead have high horizontal knockback. The late hit can be used to initiate combos (such as into neutral attack, forward tilt, and almost any projectile Villager might have pocketed) if it is used while landing, due to the small amount of horizontal knockback from the sex kick even at very high damage. May trip opponents at low percents if hit clean. Villager will swing three turnips in Home-Run Contest.
|grabname=Net ({{ja|あみ|Ami}})
|grabdesc=Traps opponents in a {{s|Nookipedia|net}} with an overhead swing. Long-range, but has considerable startup and noticeable ending lag, making it punishable if missed. Villager can also pocket items using the net.
|pummelname=Net Tightening ({{ja|あみ締め|Ami Shime}})
|pummeldmg=1.3%
|pummeldesc=Yanks the net backward to damage the opponent inside. Average power and speed, with slower startup at the expense of lower ending lag compared to other similar pummels.
|fthrowname=Forward Net Throw ({{ja|前あみ投げ|Zen Ami Nage}}) 
|fthrowdmg=9%
|fthrowdesc=Swings net overhead again, tossing the opponent out. High base knockback but very low knockback growth.
|bthrowname=Back Net Throw ({{ja|後あみ投げ|Go Ami Nage}}) 
|bthrowdmg=11%
|bthrowdesc=Turns around swinging their net horizontally. One of the strongest back throws in the game, KOing even the heaviest characters reliably at around 153% without rage and with optimal DI from the opponent. It's also very effective for edge guards due to its altered knockback.
|uthrowname=Up Net Throw ({{ja|上あみ投げ|Jō Ami Nage}}) 
|uthrowdmg=10%
|uthrowdesc=Flips net over and tosses opponent upwards. Good for juggling.
|dthrowname=Down Net Throw ({{ja|下あみ投げ|Shita Ami Nage}})  
|dthrowdmg=6%
|dthrowdesc=Turns net horizontally and slams it into the ground. Knocks opponent upwards. Can combo into a forward tilt at very low damage on most characters as well as aerials from low to mid percentages. A good way to combo into a pocketed projectile.
|floorfname= 
|floorfdmg=7%
|floorfdesc=The Villager gets up then swings with a stick in front and then back of themself.
|floorbname= 
|floorbdmg=7%
|floorbdesc=Same as their frontal floor attack.
|floortname= 
|floortdmg=5%
|floortdesc=Does a low kick with both feet ahead of and then behind themselves.
|edgename= 
|edgedmg=9%
|edgedesc=Climbs the ledge then does an inverted leg sweep.
|nsname=Pocket
|nsdmg=1.9× pocketed projectile
|nsdesc=Villager grabs a nearby projectile or item, stowing it away; using the move again will release the projectile or item with greatly increased damage and knockback, acting as a delayed reflector. Villager is granted brief intangibility during the first few frames of this move. Any pocketed items or projectiles are shown in a little display above the damage meter.
|ssname=Lloid Rocket
|ssdmg=Riding Lloid: 15.4% (early), 11% (late), 18% (explosion)<br>Not riding Lloid: 7% (early), 5% (late), 12% (explosion)
|ssdesc=Launches the Gyroid Lloid sideways as a relatively slow projectile. Villager can choose to ride on it, which increases the damage and knockback dealt. Using the move in this fashion leaves Villager helpless after disembarking unless the rocket explodes from hitting an opponent or damageable object. Additionally, if the Lloid hits a wall, runs out of fuel, or is hit by a strong enough move, it will explode much more powerfully than normal, doing high flame damage and knockback. This fiery explosion can kill quite early, even on heavy characters.
|uspage=Balloon_Trip_(move)
|usname=Balloon Trip
|usdmg=—
|usdesc=Villager dons a helmet with two balloons (both of a set color determined by the player's number) attached to it. Rapidly tapping or holding the special button will cause Villager to flap their arms and gain height, while not pressing the button will cause them to lose height. Tapping the special button less rapidly will cause them to float at a constant height. Holding a direction while it is active results in Villager travelling in said direction. After a few seconds (or by pressing the standard attack button), the balloons will detach from Villager, leaving them [[helpless]]. The balloons can also be popped by opponents' attacks. Popping one balloon impairs Villager's potential vertical gain, and popping both renders him [[helpless]], however, if Villager is hit in the process of his balloons being popped they will regain their ability to act. After using Balloon Trip, there is a period in which the balloon's helium has to recharge before it can be used to the full effect once more; if the helium is too low, then only one balloon will spawn and the move's duration will be diminished. When the balloons detach from Villager, they float toward the top of the stage. This can occasionally cause them to interrupt moves or extend moves' hitboxes, especially when they detach after Villager grabs the ledge.
|dsname=Timber
|dsdmg=13% (growing tree, top), 18% (growing tree, trunk), 25% (falling tree, clean), 15% (falling tree, late), 3% (woodchip), 14% (axe)
|dsdesc=A move of 3 different attacks in order, where Villager plants, waters, and chops down a tree, which hits opponents as it falls, even bouncing off near edges to lower areas. However, the tree can be destroyed by other characters and is a fairly slow move to use altogether - using the move once only advances through one of the four stages (plant, water, first chop, second chop), so completing the attack takes four total usages in the same location. The tree itself is extremely powerful, even as it grows. The ax can be swung during the chop stages regardless of distance from the tree, as long as that Villager's grown tree currently exists on the map. Has a chance of creating a woodchip or a rare chance of spawning a fruit once chopped down.
|fsname=Dream Home
|fsdmg=45.5% (entire), 10% (collateral loop), 15% (collateral explosion)
|fsdesc=When activated, Tom Nook and the Nooklings come and build a house, trapping opponents that got caught in the Final Smash. Once the house is completed, it explodes, doing high knockback and damage.

==In [[competitive play]]==
===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:Villager players (SSBU)]]''
*{{Sm|JAVI ON EARTH|USA}} - The best Villager player in North America, placing well at several events in their region, including 13th at {{Trn|CEO 2021}} defeating {{Sm|Goblin}} and {{Trn|Let's Make Moves Miami}} defeating {{Sm|Kola}}. They are the only other Villager player ever ranked globally, ranking 101st on the [[OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse]].
*{{Sm|kept|Japan}} - The best Villager player of all-time who was at his peak in 2019, with placements such as 9th at {{Trn|Umebura SP 6}}, 13th at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}}, 17th at {{Trn|The Big House 9}} and 25th at {{Trn|EVO 2019}}, defeating {{Sm|Gackt}} at Umebura and {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}} at Super Smash Con. In addition, he is the only Villager player to top 8 a major, placing 7th {{Trn|Umebura SP 5}}, and was the only Villager player ranked top 100 globally, ranking 72nd on the [[OrionRank 2019]]. Since then, kept remained one of the few Villager players who could place highly at majors but would never be ranked top 100 globally again.

===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. 

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.

=={{SSBU|Classic Mode}}: Mistake to Underestimate==
[[File:SSBU Congratulations Villager.png|thumb|Villager's congratulations screen.]]
Villager fights against characters who appear unsuited for battle, such as Isabelle and Wii Fit Trainer. This is likely a reference to the similar reason for Villager not being included in ''Brawl''.<ref>[https://www.polygon.com/2013/6/26/4465706/masahiro-sakurai-discusses-mega-man-smash-bros-s-other-new-characters]</ref>

==Role in [[World of Light]]==
[[File:WoL-45Villager.jpg|thumb|Finding Villager in World of Light|left]]
The default male Villager was among the fighters that were summoned to fight against the army of [[Master Hand]]s. He was also present on the cliffside when [[Galeem]] unleashed its beams of light. He is seen panicking alongside {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}} and a composed {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}. He was vaporized and placed under Galeem's imprisonment along with the rest of the fighters, excluding {{SSBU|Kirby}}.

During the mode itself, the default male Villager can be unlocked early on shortly after rescuing {{SSBU|Mario}}, where the player arrives at a crossroads and has the choice to rescue him, {{SSBU|Marth}} or {{SSBU|Sheik}}. If one of the others is rescued first, Villager's path will be blocked by a force field created by {{SSBU|Master Hand}}, which will disappear upon defeating a boss or can be circumvented by looping back to the other side.

Later, the fighters prepare their final stand against Galeem and [[Dharkon]], with Villager among them.

==[[Spirit]]s==
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''.

==Trivia==
[[File:Villager%27s_cut_palettes.png|thumb|The two cut Villager costumes (top) and the final costumes (bottom).]]
*Villager is the first ''SSB4'' newcomer to be confirmed for ''Ultimate''. 
*Villager is the only ''SSB4'' newcomer to appear on the game's boxart.
*Villager's body and lighting on the boxart for ''Ultimate'' is flipped when compared to his appearance in the panorama, with only his face facing the same direction.
*In the E3 demo of the game, Villager's portrait used his in-game model as opposed to the render made for the final game. This was also the case with {{SSBU|Link}}, {{SSBU|Mario}} and {{SSBU|Pikachu}}. This has since been fixed.
*In the demo for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Villager's 7th and 8th costumes had a light skin tone, just like in ''SSB4''. However, in the final game, the skin was changed to be a darker tone.
*In Spanish, German, French, and Italian, the name tag and voice clip from the announcer on the victory screen is slightly different from the one used on the character select screen, instead featuring a noticeable translation of "the"  (respectively, "'''el''' Aldeano"/"'''la''' Aldeana", "'''der''' Bewohner"/"'''die''' Bewohnerin", [[File:Flag of Quebec.svg|18px|link=NTSC]] "'''l{{'}}'''Habitant"/"'''l{{'}}'''Habitante", [[File:Flag of France.svg|18px|link=PAL]] "'''le''' Villageois"/"'''la''' Villageoise", and "'''l{{'}}'''Abitante"). This trait is shared with {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Inkling}}, {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Hero}}, the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}, [[Steve (SSBU)|Zombie, Enderman]], and the {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s.
*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.
*Similar to {{SSBU|Wario}}'s [[Chomp]], characters trapped in Villager's grab appears to have the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VPL_5r24oM upper half of their models removed], presumably so that even large characters can fit inside the net. This also happens with Isabelle.
*In the [[results screen]] after a [[team battle]], if the winning team consists of Villager in the front and {{SSBU|Ken}} or {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} behind him to the left, Villager’s net will clip through Ken’s arm or Piranha Plant’s face, respectively.
