Greninja (ゲッコウガ, Gekkōga) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Greninja's model features a slightly more subdued color scheme.

Ground attacks

• Greninja has a new down tilt: a downward sweep with his left hand. It launches at a more upward angle, improving its combo potential.
• Dash attack has an altered animation: Greninja no longer does a full spin, now only stopping half way.

Special moves

• Shadow Sneak has a new animation when used. The attacking part of the move is a forward kick instead.
• The "eyes" of Greninja's shadow when using Shadow Sneak flash just before release, making it easier for opponents to predict and work around the attack.
• Substitute has more vibrant particles when activated.
• Substitute activates faster, allowing for an easier hit.
