Template:SSB4 to SSBU changelist: Difference between revisions

*{{change|Side [[taunt]] is much faster; over twice as fast. Up taunt is also slightly faster.}}

*{{change|Jigglypuff has two new [[victory pose]]s. In one, it jumps twice, spins around, and assumes a pose similar to its render from ''SSB4''. In the other, it runs into the scene, does a backflip, and assumes a pose similar to its official art from ''Pokémon Yellow Version''. It retains the victory pose where it falls asleep.}}

===Attributes===

**{{nerf|Up tilt has one frame more ending lag (FAF 24 → 25).}}

*[[Down tilt]]:

*[[Dash attack]]:

**{{buff|Dash attack's clean hit has increased base knockback (16 → 57), with its knockback scaling compensated (100 → 83). This improves its safety on hit at low percents, while keeping its KO ability at high percents.}}

*{{buff|All aerials have less landing lag (15 frames → 9 (neutral, forward, up), 18 → 11 (back), 30 → 12 (down)).}}

*[[Neutral aerial]]:

*[[Forward aerial]]:

**{{buff|Forward aerial has better hitbox placement and horizontal reach (Z offset: 9u → 10u).}}

**{{buff|Back aerial has less startup lag (frame 12 → 10), with its total duration reduced as well (FAF 40 → 38).}}

**{{buff|It [[auto-cancel]]s earlier (frame 28 → 26).}}

*[[Up aerial]]:

**{{buff|Up aerial has less ending lag (FAF 45 → 40).}}

**{{nerf|Dash and pivot grabs have more startup (frame 8 → 9 (dash), 9 → 10 (pivot)).}}

*[[Pummel]]:

**{{buff|Pummel deals more [[hitlag]] (5 frames → 14), but has significantly less startup (frame 10 → 1) and ending lag (FAF 21 → 7), shortening its duration.}}

**{{nerf|It deals much less damage (3% → 1.3%).}}

**{{nerf|Jigglypuff can no longer retain Rollout's full power when releasing it in the air and reversing it immediately.}}

**{{change|The aerial version launches at the same angle as the grounded version (90° → 30°).}}

**{{bugfix|An unknown bug may cause the rebound to send Jigglypuff much higher, cause it to fall slower, and prevent sideways movement.}}

*[[Pound]]:

|Peach====Aesthetics===

*{{change|Like other fighters, Peach is more expressive, having angrier facial expressions during many of her attacks.}}

*{{change|Peach's particle effects have been enhanced. Her pink heart effects are larger and more visually striking.}}

*{{change|Peach's taunts have been tweaked.}}

**{{change|Up taunt is much faster.}}

*{{change|Peach's victory poses have been changed.}}

**{{change|Her first one is completely new. She twirls once while leaning on her parasol and raises it, while saying "Aw, did I win?". This replaces her old one where she swings her arm out and puts it behind her.}}

**{{change|Her third one has her perform a more elegant twirl before striking the pose.}}

*{{change|Peach's stun animation is sped up.}}

*{{nerf|Spot dodge grants less intangibility (frames 3-18 → 3-17).}}

*{{buff|[[Air dodge]] grants more intangibility (frames 3-28 → 3-30).}}

*{{change|The homogenization of fall speeds during vertical knockback improves Peach's survivability, but makes her more susceptible to combos.}}

|Bowser====Aesthetics===

*{{change|Bowser has been made more expressive than previous installments, sporting facial expressions that are more prominent, as well as his jaw moving more naturally to match his angry expressions.}}

*{{change|Bowser makes roaring noises during his [[idle poses]], instead of being silent like in ''Smash 4''.}}

*{{change|Up and side [[taunt]]s have been shortened, the latter also updated to match his upright stance.}}

*{{change|Bowser's victory poses have been updated.}}

**His third one is completely new. He breathes fire towards the screen before striking a pose reminiscent of his ''SSB4'' artwork. It replaces his shell spinning victory pose.

*[[Up tilt]]:

**{{buff|The move deals more damage (9% → 11%) with no compensation on knockback, allowing it to KO at around 130%, much like in ''Brawl''.}}

*[[Down tilt]]:

**{{buff|The first hit has received set knockback (20 base/100 scaling → 50/30 set/100 scaling), and its outermost hitbox launches opponents towards Bowser (361° → 130°), while the second hit comes out faster (frame 20 → 15). This allows both hits to link much more reliably.}}

**{{buff|The landing hit has more range behind Bowser (Z offset: 4–-5.5 → 4–-7.5).}}

**{{nerf|The landing hit deals much less knockback (80 base/100 scaling → 30/70), hindering its KO potential despite its increased damage.}}

*[[Down smash]]:

**{{change|Bowser has a new down smash: a low claw swipe forward with one hand, then another swipe backward with his other hand, similar to {{SSBB|Wolf}} in ''[[Brawl]]''. It hits only twice instead of seven times, with one hit at each side.}}

***{{buff|The move's new animation gives it much more horizontal range.}}

**{{buff|Both hits deal much more individual damage, with the first hit's being the same the total of the previous down smash (2% (hit 1), 1% (hits 2-6), 9% (hit 7) → 16% (hit 1), 15% (hit 2)), and they launch at a lower angle (50° → 40°), with their knockback not fully compensated (40 base/130 scaling → 60/86 (hit 1), 60/92 (hit 2)). This significantly improves its KO potential, with both hits KOing under 100% from center stage, and effectively replaces a highly situational move that was notoriously outclassed by Whirling Fortress.}}

===Aerial attacks===

**{{buff|Dash grab has slightly more range (Z2 offset: 15.5u → 16.2u).}}

**{{buff|Pivot grab has less ending lag (FAF 46 → 44).}}

*[[Pummel]]:

**{{buff|Pummel has less startup (frame 9 → 2), deals more [[hitlag]] (5 frames → 15), and has significantly less ending lag (FAF 24 → 8), shortening its duration. This slightly increases the amount of times Bowser can pummel the opponent before throwing them or before they break out.}}

**{{nerf|The move has noticeably more ending lag (FAF 43 (grounded), 50 (aerial) → 53), and the aerial version no longer auto-cancels upon landing, making it much easier to punish.}}

**{{nerf|Upon grabbing an opponent, it has more lag before Bowser jumps (25 frames → 33) making it easier to DI.}}

**{{change|The move has an aesthetic explosion effect on landing.}}

*[[Whirling Fortress]] (grounded):

*Whirling Fortress (aerial):

**{{buff|The aerial version has significantly less landing lag (50 frames → 36).}}

**{{nerf|It deals significantly less damage (10% (hit 1), 3% (hits 2-6), 2% (hits 7-11) → 7% (hit 1), 1% (hits 2-11), 2% (hit 12); 35% total → 19%), no longer making it among the most damaging up specials in the game.}}

**{{nerf|The looping hits have smaller hitboxes (6u → 4.3u).}}

*[[Bowser Bomb]]:

**{{buff|The grounded version's first hit has different angles (85° → 80°/100°/90°) and deals less set knockback (90 → 60), but uses weight-independent knockback, a lower SDI multiplier (1× → 0.5×), and has gained a [[hitstun modifier]] of 8, while the second hit has less startup (frame 38 → 37). This makes the first hit impossible to DI, and allows it to connect better into the second hit.}}

**{{buff|The aerial version has less startup (frame 32 → 31).}}

***{{nerf|The aforementioned new meteor smash hitbox deals less knockback (45 base/75 scaling → 13/65), making it significantly less powerful as a result.}}

*[[Final Smash]]:

**{{change|Bowser has a new Final Smash called [[Giga Bowser Punch]]. Rather than utilizing {{b|Giga Bowser|Final Smash}}'s ''Brawl'' moveset, he teleports to the background of the stage in giant form, and aims a single punch that does 40% damage. If the opponent's damage percent is at 60% or greater before they are punched, they receive an [[instant KO|instant]] [[Screen KO]], otherwise they receive moderately high knockback.}}

**{{change|Since Giga Bowser Punch consists of a single hit rather than allowing Bowser to hit opponents, this makes its KO power and damage more consistent and allows it to more easily KO several targets, but hinders the damage racking ability Giga Bowser previously had.}}

***{{nerf|As a result, Giga Bowser Punch deals less damage than Giga Bowser's most damaging option, which was a fully charged down smash (4.2% hits 1-7/18.2% hit 8/47.6% if all hits connect → 40%).}}

*{{buff|Like all characters, both of the Ice Climbers' [[jumpsquat]] animations now take three frames to complete (down from 4).}}

*{{buff|The partner climber is now generally faster than the leader. This helps them keep up if the two are separated.}}

**{{nerf|This makes desyncing slightly more difficult.}}

*{{buff|The Ice Climbers walk faster (0.96 → 1.008 (leader), 1.1088 (partner)).}}

*{{buff|The Ice Climbers [[dash]] faster (1.388 → 1.53 (leader), 1.683 (partner)). Their initial dash is also faster (1.4 → 1.68).}}

**{{change|The first two hits no longer use [[set knockback]] (30 set/100 scaling → 25/20/10 base/30/20 scaling (hit 1), 30/20/15 base/35/25/15 scaling (hit 2)), and have altered angles (60°/70°/80° → [[361]]°/180° (hit 1), 70°/78°/88° → 361° (hit 2)). This allows them to [[lock]], and gives them [[jab cancel]] setups at high percents, but causes them to connect less reliably.}}

*[[Forward tilt]]:

**{{buff|Forward tilt has less ending lag (FAF 31 → 26). Combined with the increased [[shieldstun]] for ground attacks, this makes it much safer on shield.}}

**{{change|It has much more base knockback (8 → 55), but less knockback scaling (100 → 65). This makes it significantly safer on hit at low percents, but removes its ability to lock, and reduces its KO potential from across the stage.}}

**{{change|Its animation has been reversed, with Dr. Mario spinning toward the screen rather than away from it.}}

*[[Dash attack]]:

**{{buff|The hitboxes are placed farther from Dr. Mario (Z offset: 4.4u/4u → 5.4u/4.9u), improving its horizontal range.}}

**{{buff|It has gained a shieldstun multiplier of 1.875×, which when combined with the increased shieldstun for grounded attacks makes it safer on shield.}}

**{{nerf|It has an altered animation that lowers Dr. Mario's hurtbox less, which prevents him from sliding under certain attacks.}}

*[[Forward smash]]:

**{{change|The electricity produced from Dr. Mario's forward smash is now magenta/lavender instead of light blue.}}

*[[Up smash]]:

*{{buff|All aerials have less landing lag (12 frames → 7 (neutral), 28 → 17 (forward), 16 → 10 (back), 14 → 8 (up), 21 → 13 (down)).}}

*[[Neutral aerial]]:

**{{buff|The late hit has larger hitboxes (3u → 3.6u).}}

*[[Forward aerial]]:

*[[Up aerial]]:

**{{buff|Up aerial has less ending lag (FAF 32 → 31).}}

**{{buff|It [[auto-cancel]]s earlier (frame 18 → 17).}}

**{{nerf|Its hitboxes have a shorter duration (frames 4-8 → 4-7).}}

**{{change|Dr. Mario has a new down aerial: a downward stomp similar to that of {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}}. It consists of only one hit instead of five.}}

**{{buff|It has a shorter total duration (FAF 52 → 45), making it safer to use offstage.}}

**{{buff|It auto-cancels much earlier (frame 45 → 35), allowing it to auto-cancel in a short hop.}}

**{{buff|It has larger hitboxes overall (4.5u/3.2u (hits 1-4), 5.5u/3.7u (hit 5) → 5.2u/4.5u).}}

*[[Pummel]]:

**{{buff|Pummel deals more [[hitlag]] (5 frames → 14), but has significantly less startup (frame 16 → 1) and ending lag (FAF 24 → 7), shortening its duration.}}

**{{change|It has a slightly different animation: Dr. Mario uses one hand during it instead of both of his hands like in previous installments, to maintain consistency with his grab animation.}}

*{{change|All of Dr. Mario's [[throw]]s have been altered with more exaggerated animations.}}

**{{change|Dr. Mario no longer spins after throwing the opponent.}}

*[[Edge attack]]:

===Special moves===

**{{change|It has an altered landing animation where Dr. Mario lands on his feet as opposed to his back.}}

*[[Dr. Tornado]]:

**{{buff|It has gained percent-based [[heavy armor]] during frames 5-9 when used on the ground, with a threshold of 10%.}}

**{{buff|It has larger hitboxes (3.5u/4.2u → 4u/4.5u (looping hits), 6u/6u → 6.5u/6u (last hit)).}}

**{{buff|Their multi-hits accumulate much faster, making their damage more consistent.}}

**{{buff|Similarly to Link in ''Smash 4'', Young Link can "soft-toss" his Bombs, which lets him lay them on the floor with a throw without having them explode. This allows Young Link to set traps on the floor to hinder his opponent, and also allows for mindgame potential. Additionally, Young Link can Z-drop Bombs without them exploding much easier than in ''Melee''.}}

**{{bugfix|The [[bomb dash]] glitch has been removed.}}

*{{change|Young Link now has a [[Final Smash]], that being [[Triforce Slash]]. Visually, it resembles Link's version from  ''Smash 4'', but it has completely unique animations for attacks, including a shield bash, kicks, and a different finisher in an outward slash.}}

**{{buff|Forward tilt deals more damage (12%/13% → 13%/14%), with its knockback compensated (30 base/88 scaling → 31/82).}}

**{{nerf|It has slightly smaller hitboxes (5.5u/5.3u/5.1u → 5.5u/5u/4.8u).}}

*[[Up tilt]]:

**{{buff|Up tilt has significantly less startup (frame 81 → 60) and ending lag (FAF 115 → 96). Because of this, the windboxes have a shorter duration (frames 6-70 → 6-53).}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Mewtwo [[run]]s faster (2.05 → 2.255).}}

**{{buff|Mewtwo's initial [[dash]] is significantly faster (1.4 → 2.255).}}

===Attributes===

<!--Note: Roy's sword was previously called the Sword of Seals in the trophy descriptions of Melee and Smash 4, but it is now referred to as the Binding Blade in Palutena's Guidance.-->

*{{buff|Roy [[walk]]s faster (1.15 → 1.208), now being slightly faster than he was in ''Melee''.}}

*{{buff|Roy [[run]]s faster (1.95 → 2.145).}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Mr. Game & Watch [[dash]]es faster (1.5264 → 1.679).}}

*{{buff|Mr. Game & Watch's [[initial dash]] is significantly faster (1.5 → 1.98).}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Pit [[walk]]s faster (1.199 → 1.259).}}

*{{buff|Pit [[run]]s much faster (1.66215 → 1.828).}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Dark Pit [[walk]]s faster (1.199 → 1.259).}}

*{{buff|Dark Pit [[run]]s much faster (1.66215 → 1.828).}}

===Attributes===

*{{change|The changes to [[powershield]]ing both help and hinder Zero Suit Samus. They make it easier for her to punish out of shield due to her quick attack speed, but also make her easier to be punished out of shield due to her reliance on landing aerials.}}

*{{buff|Zero Suit Samus [[run]]s significantly faster (2.1 → 2.31).}}

**{{buff|Zero Suit Samus's initial [[dash]] is significantly faster (1.7 → 2.42), now being the fastest in ''Ultimate.''}}

*[[Back aerial]]:

**{{change|Back aerial has a slightly altered animation. Zero Suit Samus is more upright while kicking and her left leg is more inward.}}

**{{buff|The sourspot was moved inwards (X offset: 1.5 → -1), which combined with its larger hitbox removes the move's blindspot.}}

*[[Up aerial]]:

***{{buff|However, its total duration remains the same, reducing its ending lag.}}

**{{change|Hand Grenades operate on a timer of 2.5 seconds, down from 3 seconds.}}

**{{bugfix|Shield dropping a Hand Grenade no longer causes other active ones in the air to fall straight down, nor drops Hand Grenades held by other characters.}}

*[[Remote Missile]]:

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Ike [[dash]]es slightly faster (1.5 → 1.507), although it is by far the lowest increase out of everyone.}}

**{{buff|Ike's initial dash is faster (1.5 → 1.815).}}

===Attributes===

*{{change|Charizard is once again a part of {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, allowing it to switch to {{SSBU|Squirtle}} and {{SSBU|Ivysaur}}.}}

*{{nerf|Charizard [[walk]]s slightly slower (1.2 → 1.187).}}

*{{buff|Charizard's [[initial dash]] speed is exponentially higher (1 → 2.28), going from the slowest in the game to the 4th fastest.}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Lucas [[dash]]es faster (1.5 → 1.65).}}

*{{buff|Lucas's [[initial dash]] is faster (1.3→1.815).}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Sonic [[walk]]s faster (1.375 → 1.444).}}

*{{buff|Sonic [[run]]s faster (3.5 → 3.85).}}

*{{nerf|Air dodge has significantly more ending lag (FAF 31 → 51).}}

*{{buff|The reintroduction of directional air dodges improves Sonic's recovery more than other characters', as due to Spring Jump not causing [[helplessness]], he can get additional distance with a directional air dodge after using it.}}

**{{change|His swimming animation is also changed, showing him constantly in a panicked state (as opposed to only being in one when drowning).}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|King Dedede [[run]]s faster (1.36 → 1.496).}}

**{{buff|Initial dash is much faster (1.4 → 1.815), enabling [[foxtrotting]] for boosted ground mobility.}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Olimar [[walk]]s slightly faster (0.9 → 0.945).}}

*{{buff|Olimar [[dash]]es faster (1.47 → 1.617).}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Lucario [[walk]]s slightly faster (1.05 → 1.103).}}

*{{buff|Lucario [[run]]s faster (1.55 → 1.705).}}

*{{buff|R.O.B.'s character model was shrunken. This makes his [[hurtbox]] slightly smaller, while keeping his range mostly intact.}}

*{{buff|Prone animation has been altered: R.O.B. now lies on the floor compacted instead of straightened. This makes him harder to hit and [[lock]].}}

*{{change|[[Double jump]] animation has been altered: R.O.B. now spins horizontally while jumping.}}

*{{buff|R.O.B. [[walk]]s slightly faster (1.122 → 1.178).}}

**{{buff|The move has faster startup (frame 18 → 14) with a longer duration (frames 18-32 → 14-32).}}

**{{buff|It deals more damage (8% (base)/6% (tip) → 9.5%/7.5%).}}

*[[Forward aerial]]:

**{{buff|Forward aerial has a longer duration (frames 6-7 → 6-8).}}

===Attributes===

*{{nerf|Toon Link is slightly lighter (93 → 91), this slightly hinders his endurance.}}

*{{buff|Toon Link [[walk]]s slightly faster (1.2265 → 1.288).}}

**{{buff|Down aerial has less ending lag (FAF 60 → 54), making it safer to use offstage.}}

**{{buff|The removal of [[meteor canceling]] improves its reliability for edgeguarding, while the changes to hitstun canceling allow it to start combos against grounded opponents beyond low percents.}}

**{{change|The move has a slightly altered animation, where Wolf swipes downwards instead of plunging his fists down.}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Mega Man [[run]]s faster (1.456 → 1.602).}}

**{{buff|Mega Man's initial [[dash]] is significantly faster (1.5 → 1.958).}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Wii Fit Trainer's initial dash is significantly faster (1.5 → 2.024)}}

*{{buff|Wii Fit Trainer runs much faster (1.696 → 1.866).}}

===Attributes===

*{{nerf|Luma has less HP (50 → 40).}}

*{{buff|Luma's respawn time has shortened and is dependent on the amount of players in the battle (12.5 seconds → 10 (2 players), 7 (3 players), 5 (>3 players)).}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Little Mac benefits from the re-addition of directional [[air dodge]]s, which grant him a new option to mix up his landings and giving him a new recovery option.}}

**{{nerf|Air dodges have higher ending lag and can only be performed once before landing or getting hit, leaving Little Mac more susceptible to edgeguarding if he does not grab the ledge.}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Greninja [[dash]]es faster (2.08 → 2.288).}}

*{{buff|Greninja [[walk]]s faster (1.43 → 1.502).}}

===Attributes===

*{{change|As with the other Mii Fighter types, the Mii Brawler now has fixed attributes:}}

**{{buff|Mii Brawler [[walk]]s much faster (1.15 → 1.26).}}

===Attributes===

*{{change|As with all Mii Fighters, the Mii Swordfighter now has fixed attributes:}}

**{{change|The Mii Swordfighter now has a set weight of 100, on par with that of {{SSBU|Cloud}}. This is identical to that of a default sized Mii Fighter in ''Smash 4''.}}

**{{buff|Forward smash has slightly less startup lag (frame 16 → 15).}}

***{{nerf|Its duration was unchanged, slightly increasing its ending lag.}}

**{{change|All hitboxes have redistributed sizes, with one of the weak hitboxes having been removed (4u/3u/4u/2.4u → 2.8u/2.8u/2.8u).}}

***{{buff|The strong hit is larger and is easier to land when compounded with the removal of one of the weak hitboxes.}}

**{{change|Power Thrust now causes the Swordfighter's sword to glow purple instead of blue.}}

**{{buff|Grounded Power Thrust deals more damage, with the middle hitbox now dealing as much damage as the previous early hitbox (tipper/blade early: 13/10% → 15/12%, tipper/blade middle: 11/8% → 13/10%, tipper/blade late: 8% → 10/7.5%).}}

**{{buff|Grounded Power Thrust deals significantly higher knockback throughout all charge levels, allowing the early tipper to KO at 100%, and the middle hits at around the 115% range.}}

**{{change|Grounded Power Thrust now stops at ledge. This prevents going offstage and attacking players offstage.}}

===Attributes===

*{{change|As with all Mii Fighters, the Mii Gunner now has fixed attributes:}}

**{{buff|The Mii Gunner now has a set [[weight]] of 104, on par with {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSBU|Link}} and {{SSBU|Yoshi}}. This makes the Mii Gunner the heaviest Mii Fighter, and also heavier than the largest possible Mii Fighter in ''Smash 4''. This improves their survivability.}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Pac-Man [[walk]]s faster (1.045 → 1.097).}}

*{{buff|Pac-Man [[dash]]es faster (1.52 → 1.672).}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Robin [[run]]s faster (1.15 → 1.265) going from the slowest in ''SSB4'' to the second-slowest in ''Ultimate''.}}

**{{buff|Robin's initial [[dash]] is much faster (1.5 → 1.815).}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Bowser Jr. [[run]]s faster (1.424 → 1.566).}}

*{{buff|Bowser Jr.'s initial [[dash]] is faster (1.6 → 1.76).}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Duck Hunt [[dash]]es faster (1.63 → 1.793).}}

**{{buff|Duck Hunt's initial dash is faster (1.55 → 1.76), although it is now one of the slower initial dashes relative to the cast.}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Being able to [[dash cancel]] his tilts greatly improves his approach, letting him threaten the opponent with his tapped tilts for combos, or space his smash attacks more safely.}}

*{{buff|Ryu's initial [[dash]] is faster (1.6 → 1.76).}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Corrin [[run]]s faster (1.45 → 1.595).}}

**{{buff|Corrin's [[initial dash]] speed is faster (1.8 → 1.892).}}

**{{nerf|The first, second and third hits have a higher hitlag multiplier (1x/1.4x → 1.5x/1.6x (hit 1), 1x → 1.2x (hit 2), 1x/1.4x → 1.8x/2x (hit 3)), giving opponents more time to SDI the first two and [[DI]] the last one.}}

**{{nerf|The first hit no longer deals [[set knockback]] (35/20/30 set/100 scaling → 25/20 base/25/20 scaling), causing it to connect less reliably at much higher percents, and removing their [[jab cancel]] setups.}}

**{{buff|The new third hit has less ending lag (FAF 36 → 31).}}

**{{nerf|The new third hit has smaller hitboxes (5.7u/4.2u → 5u/4.2u).}}

**{{buff|The neutral infinite has a shorter gap between hits (5 frames → 4), lower [[hitlag]] (1x → 0.5x) and [[SDI]] (1x → 0.6x) multipliers, and deals less knockback (8 base/40 scaling → 10/20) while gaining a hitstun modifier of 2 for each hit. This allows it to connect more reliably and makes it much harder to escape.}}

**{{nerf|One of the neutral infinite's hitboxes that lifted opponents off the ground has been removed. Since its hitbox was larger than the attack's other remaining hitbox, this gives the attack slightly less vertical range.}}

**{{nerf|The neutral infinite's finisher has an additional hitbox (size: 5.5u, Y/Z-offset: 7.5/19.5). However, the move's other hitboxes are smaller (6u/8u → 4.5u/5.5u) and are positioned differently (ID 0: 8.5 Y-offset/10 Z-offset → 7.5/11.5, ID 1: 8.5 Y-offset/18 Z-offset → 7.5/15.5). While these changes keep its horizontal range mostly intact, they reduce its vertical range and create a blindspot right in front of Corrin.}}

**{{nerf|The neutral infinite's finisher deals less knockback (52 base/150 scaling → 85/90), reducing its KO potential.}}

***{{nerf|This is further hindered by the new knockback speed up effect, as opponents are launched faster and experience less [[hitstun]] at higher percents.}}

*[[Dragon Lunge]]:

***{{buff|Manually canceling the pin also incurs less ending lag (FAF 15 → 13).}}

**{{buff|The jump grants more intangibility (frames 2-5 → 2-7) and has less ending lag (FAF 44 → 40).}}

**{{nerf|The changes to [[jostle]] mechanics significantly hinder the safety of the kicks, especially combined with the aforementioned changes, as Corrin can no longer go through [[shield]]ing opponents, especially if the opponent is heavier, making the kicks much easier to punish.}}

**{{nerf|The early hit of the back kick deals less knockback (70 base/110 scaling → 63/100), making it less safe on hit.}}

*[[Dragon Ascent]]:

**{{buff|The move grants more intangibility (frames 10-17 → 7-17).}}

**{{buff|The last hit has more knockback scaling (155 → 170).}}

*{{change|As with all [[veteran]]s returning from ''SSB4'', Bayonetta's model features a more subdued color scheme.}}

*{{change|While veterans' facial expressions were typically upgraded, Bayonetta seems to lack expressions she possessed in the previous installment, notably in her [[Screen KO]], a wink in one of her victory animations, and during certain moves such as up tilt.}}

*{{change|Love is Blue and Scarborough Fair have louder sound effects to distinguish the two.}}

*{{change|Bayonetta's taunts are sped up.}}

*{{change|When the victory screen shows her name, Bayonetta's glasses glint at the edge. While this was present in her victory poses in ''Smash 4'', it only showed for a brief moment.}}

===Attributes===

**{{buff|The move has less startup (frame 19 → 17).}}

***{{nerf|However, its total duration was not fully compensated (FAF 68 → 67), giving it one frame more ending lag.}}

*[[Down smash]]:

**{{buff|The second hit has a longer hitbox duration (frames 25-27 → 25-28).}}
