“	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!	”
—Super Smash Blog, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site

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. Peach is classified as fighter #13.

As in Smash 4, Samantha Kelly's portrayal of Peach from Brawl was repurposed for Ultimate.

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.
  • This allows the player to see which turnip face is held when facing left.
• 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, most likely due to Daisy now being a separate character as Peach's Echo Fighter.
• All of Peach's victory animations have changed.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Peach’s jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete (down from 5).
• Peach now jumps higher.
• Peach dashes much faster.

Ground Attacks

• Down tilt has been changed from a sweep with her hand to a sweep kick.
  • Down tilt comes out faster.
• First hit of dash attack combos into the second hit much more reliably.
• Dash attack now has hearts at the end of the move.
• Forward smash no longer cycles between its three weapons in a set order, instead being determined 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's frying pan variant in particular has noticeably greater damage and knockback.
• Down smash now has 8 hits instead of 5.
• Up smash has an additional hitbox at the tip, where a heart graphic appears at the end of the ribbon.

Aerial attacks

• All aerials have less landing lag.
• Forward aerial is now a Magic attack and has a quicker startup.
• Back aerial is now a Magic attack and produces a heart.
• Down aerial launches at a more horizontal angle. This changes the follow-ups of the move, but makes it retain more or less the same combo utility as before.

Throws/other attacks

• Toad now appears when Peach grabs an opponent to attack alongside her when she uses her pummel and throws. Toad also still appears in her back throw and up throw despite not directly attacking the opponent.
  • 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.
• Up throw and back throw both deal greater damage.

Special Moves

• Toad:
  • 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 and increased in damage.
    • Toad no longer makes Peach float slightly upwards when triggered airborne.
• Peach Bomber:
  • Peach Bomber now deals more damage and knockback.
  • An aerial Peach Bomber now has less startup lag.
    • Peach can control her drift much earlier during lag after an aerial Peach Bomber.
• Peach Parasol:
  • Peach Parasol has less landing lag when open.
    • Peach Parasol's final hit now inflicts more knockback.
    • Peach Parasol has less landing lag when shut.
    • Peach Parasol now deals very little knockback when completely open.
• Vegetable:
  • Turnips are pulled out much quicker, and now bounce off the ground once instead of disappearing immediately.
    • Turnips have higher knockback growth, allowing them to KO at high percentages.

Role in World of Light

Peach was absent in the World of Light trailer, though she presumably became a spirit alongside the rest of the galaxy (sans Kirby) when Galeem unleashed its beams of light. She is seen in the gameplay section, where she unlocks a new area.
