Charizard is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

These changes only affect Charizard, who was a single fighter in the previous game.

Attributes

  • Buff Charizard's mid air jumps carry it higher than before.
  • Buff Charizard now grabs on to the ledge with one hand with his head no longer above the ledge, this makes it harder for Charizard to get attacked when vulnerable.

Ground attacks

  • Nerf Charizard's jab combo now requires specific timing of each input to deal maximum damage.
  • Nerf Charizard's up tilt has lower vertical range.
  • Buff Charizard's forward smash is slightly stronger (17% → 19%).

Aerial attacks

  • Buff Neutral aerial causes Charizard's tail flame to grow, making it easier to sweetspot. Its overall speed and power has also been increased (sweetspot/sourspot: 12% → 15% / 9% → 12%).
  • Buff Charizard's back aerial has greatly decreased start up.
  • Nerf Charizard's down aerial has increased ending lag.

Special Moves

  • Buff Flamethrower has a significantly larger hitbox. Additionally, its size does not decrease as fast, and it is still usable at its smallest.
  • Buff Flare Blitz is significantly stronger (19% → 26%) and deals even more knockback.
  • Nerf Flare Blitz causes Charizard to enter a tumble animation for a longer period of time after impact.
  • Buff Fly's distance has greatly increased, allowing Charizard to recover to the ledge of Battlefield from the stage's lowest point.
  • Nerf Now that it is once again part of the Pokémon Trainer rotation, Charizard's down special, Rock Smash, has been replaced with Pokémon Change, effectively eliminating Rock Smash from its moveset.
  • Change Charizard's Final Smash has been reverted from Mega Charizard X to Triple Finish.
