Peach (SSB4): Difference between revisions

While her moveset appears to be relatively unchanged, Peach has been notably [[buff]]ed overall from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' to ''SSB4''. Her [[Ground attack|ground game]] has been particularly improved thanks to her stronger [[Smash attack|smashes]], faster [[Peach Bomber]] and [[tilt attack]]s leading to many follow ups. Futhermore, her [[dash attack]], [[forward aerial]] and [[back throw]] received significant increases in knockback, filling out her lack of  finishing moves, a prominent weakness she had in ''Brawl''. Likewise, Peach's approaches from below are safer with the gain of a new [[up aerial]]. Visually, many new animations accompany her established attacks in the form of hearts, rainbows and magic sparkles.

Like {{SSB4|Mario}} and {{SSB4|Luigi}}, Peach's facial structure appears more as it does in the ''[[Mario (universe)|Super Mario]]'' franchise than it has in past installments. Additionally, her dress is brighter in color and less pale. Her dress has also been redesigned to look a bit simpler, with less wrinkles and a bit less detail. Her hair color appears to be brighter and less pale than it was in ''[[Brawl]]'' as well. The ring on her hand now has an opal gem that matches her other blue gems: the broach on her chest and the one on her crown. The underside of her skirt is now darkened, obscuring her undergarments. Like the other characters, Peach is also much more expressive.

 

However, like all past ''Smash Bros.'' installments, including ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', Peach's head is smaller and she is taller than she is the actual ''Mario'' series, to give her a more realistic look.

*{{change|[[Floating]] now has sparkles emit from the bottom of her dress and has a slightly different sound effect.}}

*{{nerf|[[Up tilt]]'s sweet spot has a much less favourable placement, covering a small part of Peach's body, as opposed to her blast in ''Brawl''. Furthermore, the sour spot is weaker in both damage and knockback (being unable to KO until 200%).}}

*{{change|Forward smash is no longer random; it always goes in the order of tennis racket, a golf club, and frying pan.}}

*{{change|Forward smash has a altered animation.}}

*{{buff|[[Up smash]]'s [[Sweet spot (hitbox)|sweet spot]] covers more of Peach's body, while the [[Sweet spot (hitbox)#Sour spot|sour spot]] has more range and knockback.}}

*{{change|Peach gained a new [[up aerial]]: an arm swipe that draws a rainbow. It consists of two hits dealing 4% and 6% respectively.}}

*{{buff|New up aerial has greater reach and better [[juggling]] abilities.}}

*{{nerf|[[Vegetable]]s take longer to be plucked.}}

*{{nerf|The loss of [[glide toss]]ing reduces the options Peach has to approach with vegetables.}}

*{{nerf|"Stichface"s deal less damage and much less knockback.}}

*{{buff|Vegetable is more likely to pull "stichface"s, [[Bob-omb]]s, and [[Mr. Saturn]]s.}}

*{{nerf|Vegetable can no longer pull [[Beam Sword]]s.}}
