Bullet Climax (バレットクライマックス, Bullet Climax) is Bayonetta's neutral special in Super Smash Bros. 4. Bayonetta fires bullets forward at a slight upward angle either from her hand guns or heels (each pose is chosen alternatively). The attack can be held to charge up and deal more damage. Unlike her Bullet Arts, this attack deals hitstun and the bullets can be seen, meaning that they can be reflected like other projectiles. This move is very useful for edge guarding, as the attack disrupts various recoveries and keeps enemies in place when hit.

While charging the move, Bayonetta can cancel out of it by shielding or air dodging. The move can otherwise be held indefinitely before firing. She can fire up to eight times, with a minimum of two times. Only the first two rounds can be charged. The rounds themselves travel about three quarters the length of Final Destination, and are not likely to hit opponents that are either small or crouching at that range.

Customization

Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:

1. Bullet Climax
"Quickly fires a volley from two guns. Can be charged for more power and extended by tapping the button."

1. Bullet Climax: Default.

Like the other DLC characters, Bayonetta currently lacks custom move variations.

Origin

In Bayonetta and its sequel, Bayonetta can fire her guns at any time with the Action Button, regardless of which weapons are equipped on her arms or legs. This attack is mainly done to preserve the score multiplier in between combos, as well as picking off enemies from a distance. Bayonetta is capable of walking and jumping while firing her guns. The actual Bullet Climax technique varies based on which weapons are equipped, with Bayonetta being able to manually aim her guns from a third person shooter perspective if she is wielding any. Much like in SSB4, she can also perform this technique with her stiletto guns as well.

Charge Bullet is an upgrade in Bayonetta 2, where Bayonetta can charge her bullets for more damage. However, the upgrade only applied to simply firing the guns, and not to the Bullet Climax ability.

Trivia

• Unlike moves like Aura Sphere and Giant Punch, Bullet Climax's charge can't be stored by shield-cancelling. It is the only Special move with this distinction.
