Little Mac has been confirmed to be a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. 4, revealed in the February 13th, the day Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze released in Japan, during a Nintendo Direct. He has a special mechanic known as the Power Meter, which reaches different levels of charge. When it has fully charged, Little Mac can unleash an extremely powerful uppercut, said by Sakurai to have one-hit KO power.

Known moveset

  • Most of his moveset involves punches, most commonly jabs and uppercuts. Many of these punches are very fast.
  • As mentioned in the introduction, Little Mac has a Power Meter, that when fully charged, gives him access to an extremely powerful uppercut with supposed OHKO power, stated to replace his standard special move. The meter's mechanics beyond this and details are unknown as of now.
  • One of his special moves is a strong, chargeable punch attack. The move gives Little Mac super armor, and when released, Mac will charge forwards with a blazing punch.
  • What is presumably his up special move has Little Mac spin repeatedly, similarly to Wario in the Corkscrew, which concludes with a skyward punch. This propels him upwards, but the move appears to give quite poor horizontal distance in comparison to other recovery moves.
  • His Final Smash is Giga Mac, which appears to be a transformation-type move akin to Giga Bowser.
  • Little Mac has also been shown using a counterattack. This is presumably a special move.
