In terms of universal changes, some of them are as benefitial as they are detrimental to Greninja. The changes to [[air dodge]] mechanics slightly improve its previously below average edgeguarding game, but also make it more vulnerable to combos. The increased [[shieldstun]] makes Greninja's own attacks much safer on shield, but also weakens its already poor [[out of shield]] game, forcing it to abuse the revamped perfect shielding. Lastly, the weakening of [[rage]] makes it slightly harder for Greninja to take advantage of it, despite compensating for its lighter weight.

Collectively, Greninja's strengths and weaknesses are more defined. It now performs much better as a hit-and-run, combo-centric character, with excellent mobility and various KO options and set-ups at a variety of percentages, but with its light weight and attributes making it just as vulnerable to combos while keeping its terrible out of shield game. Despite its nerfs to its previous footstool combos, Greninja has been generally compensated due to the gameplay changes to the engine and the buffs to its moveset giving it a more traditional combo game. That said, various veterans have also been buffed to varying degrees, especially through game updates, while Greninja has comparatively received minor, unimpactful changes from them. Nevertheless, Greninja has improved from ''SSB4'', keeping up with the rest of the cast and retaining its status as a viable character in competitive play in ''Ultimate''.
