Bayonetta is an upcoming character and newcomer in Super Smash Bros. 4, as the seventh and final downloadable character. She was announced during the Super Smash Bros. - Final Video Presentation on December 15th, 2015 and will be released sometime in February 2016 alongside Corrin. She is the seventh and final DLC character to be added to the game, as well the sixth third party character to be introduced, following fellow SEGA character Sonic, Capcom's Mega Man and Ryu, Bandai Namco's Pac-Man and Square Enix's Cloud. Bayonetta was elected after the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot, where she was the most voted for character in Europe, and was among the top 5 in North America.

Bayonetta's English voice actor, Hellena Taylor, will reprise her role in Super Smash Bros. 4. It is currently unknown if her Japanese voice actor, Atsuko Tanaka, will reprise the same role in the overseas version.

• Bayonetta's left eye glinting in the intro of her trailer references how she is the Left Eye of the World.
• Bayonetta's interactions with Pit references the fact she kills Angels for a living.
• Bayonetta referring to Palutena as part of an "Endangered Species" references how she, in both of her games, kills off a God as the game's final boss.
• Bayonetta's posing with the Chain Chomp references the creature's utility as a weapon in Bayonetta 2.
• Bayonetta's line "If you need to learn how to talk to a lady, ask your mum", is a reference to Bayonetta director, Hideki Kamiya, who regularly uses the phrase "Ask your mom" to respond to questions he doesn't like on social media.

Known Moveset

• A three-hit punch combo, followed by a barrage of punches, referencing the standard punch combo in Bayonetta. Confirmed for neutral attack.
• A forward kick, which can be pressed again for up to three hits total. Confirmed to be forward aerial.
• Bullet Arts, a mechanic where holding the attack button during combos fire bullets from her guns during the attack. These bullets deal no hitstun. A mechanic also seen in Bayonetta.
• An upward pistol whip, most likely her up tilt.
• A forward smash where Bayonetta summons Madama Butterfly for an enormous punch.
• An up smash where Bayonetta summons Madama Butterfly for an uppercut.
• A down smash based off of Heel Stomp, where Madama Butterfly's foot comes from above and stomps on the ground. This move can meteor smash opponents on the ledge and in the air.
• Witch Time, a counter attack that slows the opponent down when activated. Its duration depends on the damage of the opponent and how frequently it is used, similar to Vision. One of the main mechanics of Bayonetta.
• Bat Within, a counter technique that reduces damage taken and teleports Bayonetta in any direction if Witch Time is activated too late. Based off of the technique of the same name, but without the original's damage nullification and extended Witch Time.
• Bullet Climax, her neutral special move, fires bullets forward at a slight angle. When held, the attack charges up and fires stronger bullets.
• Heel Slide, her side special move, has her slide forward. If the button is held, Bayonetta will perform a launching kick that sends the opponent upward. When performed in the air, the attack is changed to After Burner Kick, a flying kick that can be performed twice in a row, and can also be angled downwards by holding down before attacking.
• Witch Twist, Bayonetta's recovery move, sends her spiraling through the air attacking multiple times, similar to Rising Uppercut. Though the distance traveled upwards is short, the move does not leave her helpless, and can be used again following a double jump. Holding the button lets her fire bullets as well.
• Her pummel is based off of the Slap Punishment Attack that can be performed on downed opponents.
