Recovery: Difference between revisions

==List of recoveries in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==

With the exception of the {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s, [[character customization]] does not return from ''Smash 4'', so characters who had custom special moves that improved their recovery no longer have access to them.

|{{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}||The duo can perform two midair jumps like Charizard and Ridley. [[Shock Spring Jump]] offers decent height that slightly increases when charged, but grants little sideways movement and lacks a hitbox during the ascent. [[Wonderwing]] provides good horizontal distance and is invincible against most attacks, however using the move 5 times within a stock will render the move useless. Neither moves put Banjo & Kazooie into their [[helpless]] state, so these moves can be used together along with their midair jumps and air dodge. Finally, using the explosions from [[Rear Egg]]'s grenades can be used to regain the duo's recovery moves, much like Snake's C4.

|{{SSBU|Bowser}}||[[Whirling Fortress]] does not travel as far, but the final hit launches farther, making it slightly more difficult to punish.

|{{SSBU|Bowser Jr.}}||[[Clown Kart Dash]] allows Bowser Jr. to keep his double jump when canceled. However, he can no longer air dodge out of it.

|-

|-

|{{SSBU|Captain Falcon}}||[[Falcon Dive]] travels farther and its horizontal recovery is no longer reduced when the move is reversed. [[Raptor Boost]] no longer inflicts [[helplessness]] if it hits an opponent, increasing its safety.

|{{SSBU|Chrom}}||[[Soaring Slash]] is similar to Ike's [[Aether]]; Soaring Slash travels higher but Chrom does not throw the sword, making it slightly easier to intercept. Compared to Roy's [[Blazer]], Soaring Slash goes much higher but gains extremely little horizontal distance.

|-

|-

|{{SSBU|Corrin}}||[[Dragon Ascent]] travels further, but it now stalls at the end of the move.

|-

|-

|-

|{{SSBU|Dark Samus}}||Being {{SSBU|Samus}}'s [[Echo Fighter]], Dark Samus's recovery is practically identical: [[Screw Attack (move)|Screw Attack]] grants decent height and protection but little horizontal distance. [[Bomb (Samus)|Bomb]] can be used to extend Dark Samus's horizontal recovery, and she can use her Grapple Beam as a [[tether recovery]].

|{{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}||[[Spinning Kong]] has decreased horizontal distance but increased vertical distance.

|-

|-

|{{SSBU|Duck Hunt}}||Duck Hunt can now act out of [[Duck Jump]] after enough time has passed, improving the move's safety.

|{{SSBU|Jigglypuff}}||[[Pound]] now stalls Jigglypuff on startup, reducing the move's recovery potential. Jigglypuff can once again steer during [[Rollout]]'s freefall if it hits an opponent like in ''Brawl'', and can now grab the ledge during this freefall state.

|-

|-

|-

|{{SSBU|King Dedede}}||[[Super Dedede Jump]] now snaps to the ledge when reversed.

|{{SSBU|Kirby}}||Kirby's recovery is largely unchanged from ''Smash 4''.

|-

|-

|-

|-

|{{SSBU|Lucas}}||[[PK Thunder]], along with many other moves, now has arrows pointing in the direction he will get launched. The window for using PK Thunder again after bouncing off a wall has increased, but the move carries less momentum than before, slightly reducing its distance.

|{{SSBU|Luigi}}||[[Luigi Cyclone]] grants much less height when mashed, eliminating the move's usefulness as a recovery tool.

|-

|-

|{{SSBU|Marth}}||Like his clone {{SSBU|Lucina}}, Marth's recovery is largely unchanged from ''Smash 4''.

|{{SSBU|Mewtwo}}||[[Confusion]] halts Mewtwo's horizontal momentum, largely eliminating the move's use for recovery.

|-

[[Suplex]] travels farther horizontally than [[Headache Maker]] did, but KO's the Mii Brawler first if used as a [[sacrificial KO]]. [[Thrust Uppercut]] travels diagonally, making it more useful for recovery than [[Piston Punch]].

[[Cannon Jump Kick]]'s horizontal recovery is even worse than [[Cannon Uppercut]].

|-

|-

|{{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}||Mr. Game & Watch's recovery appears largely unchanged from ''Smash 4''.

|{{SSBU|Piranha Plant}}||[[Piranhacopter]] gains respectable height, can be steered left or right to instead cover a far horizontal distance, and provides decent protection to Piranha Plant's sides.

|-

|-

|{{SSBU|R.O.B.}}||[[Robo Burner]] can now be canceled into an air dodge, and now R.O.B's chassis has a gauge showing how much fuel the move has left.

|{{SSBU|Richter}}||Being {{SSBU|Simon}}'s [[Echo Fighter]], Richter's recovery is practically identical: [[Uppercut]] grants little distance but decent protection, and he can use [[forward aerial]], [[up aerial]], or [[back aerial]] as a tether recovery.

|-

|-

|{{SSBU|Robin}}||[[Elwind]] travels higher and can now be angled, allowing Robin to travel farther horizontally as well as making their recovery less linear overall. While the move depletes after fewer uses, it recharges more quickly and can now be used even when depleted, granting a small boost upward that doesn't cause helplessness.

|{{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}}||Rosalina & Luma's recovery is largely unchanged from ''Smash 4''.

|-

|-

|{{SSBU|Ryu}}||[[Shoryuken]] does not snap to the ledge as early as before.

|{{SSBU|Sheik}}||Sheik's recovery appears largely unchanged from ''Smash 4''.

|-

[[Back Slash]] can now snap to ledges after some time and can be steered by holding left or right. [[Air Slash]] now snaps to the ledge on the first swing instead of the second, but is less reliable at ledge snapping overall.

|{{SSBU|Snake}}||[[Cypher]] can now be destroyed, reducing the safety of Snake's recovery. The recovery is not interrupted if Snake is hit instead.

|-

|-

|{{SSBU|Squirtle}}||While Squirtle's recovery by itself is largely unchanged from ''Brawl'', [[Pokémon Change]] can now be used in midair, allowing Squirtle to take advantage of {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}'s other Pokémon for recovery.

|-

|-

|{{SSBU|Toon Link}}||[[Spin Attack]] retains more horizontal momentum near the end of the move.

|{{SSBU|Villager}}||[[Balloon Trip]] recharges helium more slowly, and will only spawn one balloon if their helium is too low, making the recovery slower and more vulnerable to edgeguarding.

|-

|-

|{{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}||[[Super Hoop]] travels higher and can reach its maximum height with less button mashing, though its horizontal distance has been reduced.
