“	THE super princess. Watch out for her powerful kicks while she's airborne. Using her down special, she picks vegetables and throws them at her opponents. Sometimes she even gets items...like a Bob-omb!	”

Peach (ピーチ, Peach) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. She was announced for the game on June 12th, 2018. As opposed to being a starter like in the other Smash Bros. games, Peach is now an unlockable character.

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 Smash 4, Peach's model features a more subdued color scheme. Her hair and gloves now feature simple detailing, similar to her design in Brawl. Her dress retains its design from the previous iteration, but now features a glossy satin texture.
• Like other fighters, Peach is much more expressive, now having facial expressions for many more attacks.
• Peach's dress now has independent physics.
• Peach always faces the screen regardless of which direction she turns. As a result, her stance, moveset, and animations are now mirrored.
• Down taunt now has a heart pop up next to her head. She also no longer spins, and winks immediately.
• Side taunt has been shortened, she now only dances back and forth instead of the 3 step dance, though the music notes still appear.
• Peach's second jump animation has changed slightly.
• Peach's air dodge animation has changed, and no longer uses the spinning dodge.
• While floating, Peach now faces the screen instead of facing the side, and her dress no longer puffs up while she floats.
• Peach has a new alternate costume - a golden dress. It replaces her Princess Daisy-inspired costume.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Peach’s jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.
• Peach jumps higher.
• Peach runs slightly faster.

Ground Attacks

• Down tilt has been changed from a sweep with her hand to a sweep kick.
• Down tilt covers more range, and comes out significantly faster.
• Dash attack does more damage and knockback and KOs more easily.
• First hit of dash attack combos into the second hit much more reliably.
• Forward smash no longer cycles between its three weapons in a set order, instead being determine by which angle the stick is held. This greatly improves its reliability, letting Peach use a particular weapon repeatedly without having to telegraph it.
• Forward smash has less endlag.
• Forward smash (Frying pan) deals much more damage and knockback.
• Up smash now has a heart at the end of the ribbon. The heart has a hitbox that extends the range of the attack. It also has less endlag.
• Down smash covers more range and has less endlag.

Aerial attacks

• All aerials have less landing lag.
• Forward aerial is now a magic attack and has slightly more range.
• Neutral aerial does more damage and knock back.

Throws/other attacks

• Toad now appears when Peach grabs an opponent to attack alongside her when she uses her pummel and throws.
  • Because of this, Peach has a new pummel, where Toad punches the opponent.
  • Peach has a new forward throw, where Toad headbutts the opponent away.
  • Peach also has a new down throw, where Toad headbutts the opponent into the ground.

Special Moves

• Toad's counterattack now has Toad immediately appear on the ground next to Peach, bodyguarding her, instead of Peach using him as a shield. The move's startup lag was also significantly reduced.
• Peach Parasol has less landing lag.
• Turnips are pulled out much quicker, and now bounce off the ground once instead of disappearing immediately.
