Template:SSB4 to SSBU changelist: Difference between revisions

*{{change|Charizard's model features a more subdued color scheme, more closely resembling its appearance in recent mainline ''[[Pokémon]]'' games. Its legs and arms are more prominently muscular, and the flame on its tail is also more vibrant.}}

*{{change|During normal matches, Charizard uses the {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}'s stock icon, name call and [[Boxing Ring]] title instead of having its own. However, its own stock icon is seen in the Spirits mode, as both a playable character and an enemy.}}

*{{change|Charizard has two new [[taunts]]: one where it stands upright for its up taunt, similar to {{SSBU|Ridley}}'s down taunt, and another where it does a quick aerial flip and roars during its side taunt. Its former up taunt is now its down taunt.}}

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

*{{buff|Like all characters, Charizard's jumpsquat animation takes 3 frames to complete (down from 7).}}

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

*{{buff|Charizard [[run]]s faster (2 → 2.2).}}

*{{buff|Charizard's [[air speed]] is much faster (0.92 → 1.103).}}

*{{buff|Charizard has significantly higher [[traction]] (0.04 → 0.11), no longer being tied with {{SSBU|Mewtwo}} for the second lowest in the game. This allows it to punish out of shield much more easily.}}

*{{change|Charizard's midair jumps' animations have been changed so that they are more distinguishable from each other.}}

*{{buff|Charizard's second [[midair jump]] now gives as much height as its first, improving its air game and [[recovery]].}}

*{{change|Air dodge has a different animation.}}

**{{buff|The first hit transitions into the second hit faster (frame 10 → 7), which transitions into the third hit faster (frame 10 → 8), allowing the whole move to connect more smoothly.}}

**{{buff|Forward tilt contains a new sweetspot hitbox on frame 12 that is centered in front of Charizard's tail, with the original sweetspot remaining intact. This makes the sweetspot larger and prohibits issues with the z-axis.}}

**{{buff|Forward tilt has less ending lag (FAF 43 → 38).}}

**{{buff|In addition to the hitbox above Charizard, it possesses hitboxes covering its wings as they spread out. This increases the move's coverage above Charizard, although due to the high placements of these hitboxes, it still cannot hit grounded opponents at Charizard's sides.}}

**{{nerf|It launches opponents slightly away from Charizard instead of towards it (96° → 78°/84°), and deals much less knockback (40 base/130 scaling → 50 base/80/85 scaling). This collectively worsens both the move's combo and KO potential, stringing into itself less reliably at low percents, and still having too much ending lag to combo into other moves, despite Charizard's faster jumpsquat, while it is now unable to KO grounded opponents below 200% (compared to KOing below 140% under the same circumstances in ''Smash 4'').}}

**{{nerf|Due to Charizard once again possessing hurtboxes on its wings, the move is riskier to use as an anti-air option, as these hurtboxes now extend upward especially during the active frames, leaving Charizard more vulnerable to trades with opponents' aerial attacks.}}

**{{buff|Dash attack deals more shieldstun (1x → 1.5x) which combined with the increased damage makes it safer on shields.}}

**{{change|Charizard no longer breathes fire during the animation.}}

**{{buff|Forward smash deals more damage (17% → 19% (clean, late body), 14% → 16.4% (late head)) with knockback scaling not fully compensated (94 → 91 (clean, late body), 86 (late head)).}}

**{{buff|The outermost hitbox on the first hit now uses the 368° [[autolink angle]] to properly launch opponents into the second hit instead of weakly [[meteor smash]]ing them in place, enabling it to connect more efficiently.}}

**{{nerf|Due to Charizard once again possessing hurtboxes on its wings, the move is riskier to use as an anti-air option, although not to the same degree as its up tilt.}}

 

**{{buff|Neutral aerial has faster startup (frame 9 → 8) and significantly less ending lag (FAF 60 → 40), making it safer to use offstage.}}

**{{change|Its animation has been sped up. This reduces the duration of its hitboxes (frames 9-25 → 8-20) but allows it to hit faster around Charizard.}}

***{{nerf|Due to its [[autocancel]] window remaining unchanged, this effectively increases the move's ending lag before it can autocancel.}}

**{{buff|Forward aerial has one frame less ending lag (FAF 47 → 46).}}

**{{nerf|It no longer autocancels in a [[short hop]], as Charizard's faster falling speed causes its autocancel to fall short by one frame.}}

**{{nerf|The sweetspot has been moved inwards (X offset: 7.5 → 6), reducing its reach.}}

**{{buff|Back aerial's animation has been altered, increasing its vertical range. This enables it to punish opponents recovering from above more reliably.}}

**{{buff|Up aerial [[auto-cancel]]s earlier (frame 41 → 38).}}
