Charizard is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4
These changes only affect Charizard, who was a single fighter in the previous game.
Aesthetics
Charizard now hangs onto the edge with one hand instead of two.
Attributes
Charizard's mid air jumps carry it higher than before.- When grabbing the ledge, Charizard's head no longer peaks above it, this makes it harder for Charizard to get attacked when vulnerable.
Ground attacks
Charizard's jab combo now requires specific timing of each input to deal maximum damage.- Charizard's up tilt has lower vertical range.
- Charizard's forward smash is slightly stronger (17% → 19%).
Aerial attacks
- Neutral aerial causes Charizard's tail flame to grow, making it easier to sweetspot. Its overall speed and power has also been increased (sweetspot/sourspot: 12% → 15% / 9% → 12%).
- Charizard's back aerial has greatly decreased start up.
- Charizard's down aerial has increased ending lag.
Special Moves
- Flamethrower has a significantly larger hitbox. Additionally, its size does not decrease as fast, and it is still usable at its smallest.
- Flare Blitz is significantly stronger (19% → 26%) and deals even more knockback.
- Flare Blitz causes Charizard to enter a tumble animation for a longer period of time after impact.
- Fly's distance has greatly increased, allowing Charizard to recover to the ledge of Battlefield from the stage's lowest point.
- Now that it is once again part of the Pokémon Trainer rotation, Charizard's down special, Rock Smash, has been replaced with Pokémon Change, effectively eliminating Rock Smash from its moveset.
- Charizard's Final Smash has been reverted from Mega Charizard X to Triple Finish.
