Aesthetics

  • Change Greninja's model features a slightly more subdued color scheme.

Attributes

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

Ground attacks

  • Change Up Smash now utilizes water kunai instead of water katanas, similar to Ash's Greninja in the anime.

Special moves

  • Change Water Shurikens appear visually sharper.
  • Nerf During Shadow Sneak, the shadow's eyes flash red just before release, making it easier to predict the attack.

Trivia

  • Greninja's new character portrait resembles its air dodge animation.
  • Coincidentally, Greninja's fighter number, 50, is the same as the number of its costume in Super Mario Maker.
  • In the Pokémon series, a Greninja has to be male to become Ash-Greninja. This confirms that Greninja is a male in Ultimate.
