Greninja (ゲッコウガ, Gekkōga) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.
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 SSB4, Greninja's model features a slightly more subdued color scheme.
Attributes
Like all characters, Greninja's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.
Ground attacks
- Greninja has a new down tilt: a downward sweep with its left hand. It launches at a more upward angle, improving its combo potential.
- Dash attack has an altered animation: Greninja no longer does a full spin, now only stopping half way.
- Greninja now uses water kunais instead of water blades for its up smash, similar to Ash's Greninja in the anime.
Special moves
- Shadow Sneak has a new animation when used. The attacking part of the move is a forward kick instead.
The "eyes" of Greninja's shadow when using Shadow Sneak flash just before release, making it easier for opponents to predict and work around the attack.- Substitute has more vibrant particles when activated.
- Substitute activates faster, allowing for an easier hit.
- Greninja's Final Smash now turns it into Ash-Greninja. Whether it's an aesthetic change to Secret Ninja Attack or a completely different Final Smash is currently unknown.
