Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

    • Change The 7th and 8th Villager skins now have darker skin.
  • Change Clothing such as Villager's shorts have more movement while fighting.
  • Change Villager now faces more towards the screen like many other characters. Several animations, particularly those relating to walking and dashing, have been altered as a result.
  • Change Villager now blinks during his clapping animation on the results screen.

Attributes

  • Buff Like all characters, Villager's jumpsquat animation now only takes three frames to complete (down from 5).
  • Nerf Villager is lighter, worsening his survivability.
  • Buff Villager dashes faster.

Ground attacks

  • Buff Villager now has a neutral infinite and a finisher, a straight jab.
  • Change Forward smash's bowling ball now lingers for a moment after landing on the ground.
  • Nerf Up tilt has less range.
  • Buff Down tilt's sweetspot can now hit aerial oppponents.
  • Change Down tilt now has a small patch of dirt underneath the weed before Villager pulls it from the ground.
  • Nerf Down smash is now unable to jab lock removing Villager’s infinite combo.

Aerial attacks

  • Buff All aerials have less landing lag.
  • Nerf Neutral aerial does less damage.
  • Change Forward and back aerials' pellets now arc downwards.
    • Buff Forward and back aerials also have higher base knockback.
  • Buff Down aerial will now always meteor smash, regardless of how many turnips are used, greatly increasing its reliability.
  • Nerf Down aerial has more startup lag. (Frame 8 → 14)

Throws/other attacks

  • Change Villager now has a shocked expression when he misses with his grab.
  • Buff Grab has significantly reduced ending lag.
  • Buff Grab can now pocket items.
  • Buff Edge attack has greater range.

Special Moves

  • Buff Pocketed projectiles no longer vanish after 30 seconds and can be kept indefinitely.
    • Buff Additionally, after catching a projectile with Pocket, Villager can act faster.
    • Change While Villager has a pocketed item, the item will appear in a display above the damage meter, making Pocket easier to use but also allowing opponents to know what item is pocketed.
  • Nerf Balloon Trip recharges helium slower, and if the helium is low enough it will only spawn one balloon instead of two, slowing Villager's ascent and making him more susceptible to edgeguarding.
  • Buff Timber now bounces once on the ground before disappearing.
  • Buff Timber deals more damage.
  • Change Just like down tilt, Timber now has a patch of dirt underneath the sapling in the move's first stage.
  • Change Dream Home now has the house rotate while Tom Nook, Timmy and Tommy build it. Tom Nook also throws furniture into the building more rapidly.

Update History

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 1.2.0

  • Buff Dream Home now grants Villager invulnerability after the last hit.
  • Change Created glitch where if Villager Pockets Isabelle's slingshot from a Pocket, the game will crash.

Classic Mode: Mistake to Underestimate

Villager fights against characters who appear unsuited for battle, such as Isabelle and Wii Fit Trainer. This is likely a reference to the similar reason for his removal from Brawl.[1]

Role in World of Light

Villager was among the fighters that were summoned to fight against the army of Master Hands.

Villager was present when Galeem unleashed its beams of light. He is seen panicking alongside Duck Hunt and a composed Wii Fit Trainer. He was vaporized and placed under Galeem's imprisonment along with the rest of the fighters, excluding Kirby.

During the mode itself, Villager can be unlocked early on shortly after rescuing Mario, where the player arrives at a crossroads and has the choice to rescue him, Marth or Sheik. If one of the others is rescued first, Villager's path will be blocked by a force field created by Master Hand, which will disappear upon defeating a boss or can be circumvented by looping back to the other side.

Trivia

  • Villager is the only SSB4 newcomer to appear on the game's boxart.
  • In the E3 demo of the game, Villager's portrait, strangely, used his in-game model as opposed to the render made for him in the game. This was also the case with Link, Mario and Pikachu. This has since been fixed.
  • In the demo for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Villager's 7th and 8th costumes had a light skin tone, just like in SSB4. However, in the final game, the skin was changed to be a darker tone.
