Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Lucina's model features a more subdued color scheme.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Lucina's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Ground attacks

• Jab's animation has been altered to swing in a more horizontal arc. This appears to lower its vertical range.
• Jab's attack connects more reliably, allowing for more consistent damage off of the move.

Special Moves

• Shield Breaker can now be manually angled.
• Shield Breaker now only has the Parallel Falchion glow purple instead of Lucina's whole body.
• Dancing Blade is significantly faster.

Trivia

• Lucina and Dark Pit are the first and only full clones to keep their full clone status for multiple games in a row.
• At least two of Lucina's screenshots on the Ultimate site allude to events from Fire Emblem Awakening.
  • The screenshot depicting her alongside Marth alludes to their kinship as descendant and ancestor, respectively.
  • The screenshot of her taunting defensively in front of Charizard alludes to "The Threat of Silence" paralogue from Awakening, in which the Shepherds must protect the draconic Tiki.
