Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon (リザードン, Rizādon), returns as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. 4, revealed with Greninja in a trailer during the April 8th, 2014 Super Smash Bros. Direct. Unlike in Brawl, where it was used as one of Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon, it is now a stand-alone character. Charizard's skin appears to be a brighter orange and its proportions are more in-line with its recent three-dimensional appearances in the Pokémon franchise. For example, Charizard's fangs are smaller than they were in Brawl, which now makes them more proportional to their size in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y.
Changes from Brawl
Back throw deals slightly more damage, and has strengthened a little.- Down aerial is stronger, and deals 1% more damage. It has also been sped up a bit.
- Fly grants much more vertical distance.
- Back aerial is stronger.
- Foward smash has a new animation and is stronger.
- Charizard has a new foward aerial attack that involves scratching forward, similar to Bowser's forward aerial.
It deals slightly less damage.
- Forward tilt deals less damage.
Down smash has an altered animation.- Rock Smash is now Charizard's down special, replacing Pokémon Change.
- Charizard's new side special is Flare Blitz, which has been described as a very powerful attack. It turns into a fireball and shoots sideways, but will inflict recoil damage on Charizard if it makes contact with an opponent, similar to how it acted in the games.
- Charizard has a new up throw, where it brings its opponent into the air and crashes them into the ground, similarly to Kirby's up throw.
- It deals less damage.
- Charizard's new Final Smash has been confirmed to be Mega Charizard X.
