Aesthetics
As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Greninja's model features a slightly more subdued color scheme.
Attributes
Like all characters, Greninja's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.
Ground attacks
- Greninja has a new down tilt: a downward sweep with its left hand. It launches at a more upward angle, improving its combo potential.
- Dash attack has an altered animation: Greninja no longer does a full spin, now only stopping half way.
- Greninja now uses water kunais instead of water blades for its up smash.
Special moves
- Shadow Sneak has a new animation when used. The attacking part of the move is a forward kick instead.
The "eyes" of Greninja's shadow when using Shadow Sneak flash just before release, making it easier for opponents to predict and work around the attack.- Substitute has more vibrant particles when activated.
- Substitute activates faster, allowing for an easier hit.
