While Greninja has a couple of reliable finishers, none of them are easy to sweetspot due to hitbox timings (such as its up smash and down aerial) or even land at all due to start-up (such as its forward aerial) from a neutral standpoint. Greninja's grab game is also sub-par: its standing and pivot grabs are among the slowest in the game despite being the farthest reaching non-tether grabs in the game, its forward, up and down throws have unimpressive damage outputs, and its up throw is its only throw that has KO potential. | While Greninja has a couple of reliable finishers, none of them are easy to sweetspot due to hitbox timings (such as its up smash and down aerial) or even land at all due to start-up (such as its forward aerial) from a neutral standpoint.

Overall, Greninja has a fairly high learning curve, but can become a relatively potent character when mastered. As a result, it has average matchups with the rest of the cast with decent tournament results along with a few dedicated and noteworthy players. Thanks to the efforts of professionals such as {{Sm|iStudying}}, {{Sm|aMSa}}, {{Sm|Illusion}}, and {{Sm|P2P with Gibus}}, as well as its handful of decent buffs from game updates, Greninja's current high-tier placement is a noticeable improvement over its previous mid-tier placement.

Additionally, {{SSB4|Sheik}} received heavy nerfs in update [[1.1.5]], aiding Greninja in what was widely considered its most difficult match-up. | ||
