“	A fighter that attacks with healthy moves like stretching and yoga poses. You can pick between male and female versions. Charging up Sun Salutation all the way recovers a bit of health!	”
—Super Smash Blog, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site

Wii Fit Trainer (Wii Fit トレーナー, Wii Fit Trainer) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Wii Fit Trainer is classified as fighter #47. As in Smash 4, both the female and male versions of Wii Fit Trainer are playable.

The female and male Wii Fit Trainers are voiced by October Moore and Steve Heinke in the American version (or when the Switch's region settings is set to the Americas) respectively, through recycled voice clips from Smash 4.

How to unlock

Complete one of the following:

• Play VS. matches, with Wii Fit Trainer being the 9th character to be unlocked.
• Clear Classic Mode with Samus or any character in her unlock tree, being the second character unlocked after Inkling.
• Have Wii Fit Trainer join the player's party in World of Light.

With the exception of the third method, Wii Fit Trainer must then be defeated on Wii Fit Studio.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Previously a near bottom tier character, Wii Fit Trainer has been buffed in a variety of ways. While the extra bells and whistles to many moves such as framedata altercations do buff them and their neutral game, many hitboxes are still wonky even if improved heavily. However, some moves (such as Deep Breathing) are far more reliable than they already were, strengthening Wii Fit Trainer’s offense as well. Their recovery has also taken a small hit due to the distance's changes, but can now fend off some projectiles offstage and give an extra bit of offstage survivability. Overall, Wii Fit Trainer is a much better character, but still has difficulty getting in.

It is currently unknown how Wii Fit Trainer will fare in the meta.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Wii Fit Trainer's model features a more subdued color scheme. Both genders are now slightly more muscular, and their clothing and hair also feature simple detailing.
• Wii Fit Trainer's face is clearer and has more detailed eyes, similarly to Wii Fit U's trainer. According to Sakurai, this was a requested change from the Wii Fit development team.
• Wii Fit Trainer's body faces the screen more compared to the previous entry; however, the stance is not mirrored.
• Much like other fighters, Wii Fit Trainer is more expressive. In particular, Wii Fit Trainer smiles while taunting and using Header, and appears angry while using smash attacks.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Wii Fit Trainer's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete (down from 5).
• Wii Fit Trainer dashes much faster (1.696 → 1.866). The initial dash speed is also improved.
• Wii Fit Trainer walks faster (1.166 → 1.224).
• Wii Fit Trainer's air speed is slightly faster (0.97 → 1.019).

Ground attacks

  • Jab 1 deals less damage on the front hit (3% → 2%).
  • Jab 3 has less startup lag (6 → 5).
• Dash attack:
  • Dash attack has less startup (7 → 6) and ending lag (FAF 43 → 39).
  • Dash attack has a new early hitbox that deals more damage (6% → 10%).
  • Dash attack has more knockback and a more horizontal launch angle, making it a better kill option.
• Forward tilt:
  • Forward tilt deals more damage (9% → 11%).
  • Forward tilt has more active frames (2 → 5).
• Up tilt:
  • Up tilt now reaches far further upwards, as Wii Fit Trainer's pose is slightly extended and lifted off the ground, and now combos into itself at low percents.
  • Up Tilt now has invulnerability on the arm for 10 frames, from frame 3 to frame 12.
  • Up Tilt now has a hitbox behind Wii Fit Trainer.
  • Up Tilt has more active frames (3 → 8).
  • Up tilt has less ending lag (FAF 35 → 30).
• Down tilt:
  • Down tilt has less startup lag (10 → 9).
  • Down tilt deals more damage (12% → 13.5%).
• Forward smash
  • Forward smash has less ending lag (FAF 62 → 57).
  • Forward smash no longer has a sourspot and always deals the damage of its previous sweetspot.
• Up smash:
  • Up smash has a bigger hitbox on the sourspot.
• Down smash
  • Down smash has less ending lag (FAF 57 → 52).

Aerial attacks

• All aerials have less landing lag (Neutral: frame 14 → 8, Forward: 15 → 9, Back: 20 → 12, Up: 15 → 9, Down: 20 → 12).
• Forward aerial:

  • Forward aerial has less ending lag (FAF 46 → 39).
• Down aerial:
  • Down aerial has less startup lag (20 → 15).

• All aerials have improved hitboxes.

Throws/other attacks

• Pummel is faster.
• Back throw:
  • Back throw deals more knockback.
• Up throw:
  • Up throw deals far less knockback, which increases its combo potential, but reduces its KO potential.
• Down throw:
  • Down throw has less ending lag (FAF 57 → 50), making it a better combo starter.

Special Moves

• Sun Salutation:
  • Sun Salutation is now orange in color instead of bright yellow.
  • Sun Salutation's projectile deals more damage (18% → 21%) and slightly more knockback when fully charged.
  • Charging Sun Salutation can now be canceled with a jump.
• Header:
  • Header's soccer ball is around 50% bigger.
  • Header has significantly less ending lag (FAF 59-75 → 41-57).
  • Header's soccer ball has adjusted physics. It now bounces faster and lower, and is almost always an active hitbox after being hit.
  • Header now offers a larger range of motion depending on the timing of a second b press; the lowest launch angle now allows Header to hit grounded opponents at a close range.
  • Header's ball almost always keeps its hitbox even after hitting a shield, allowing for some new niche setups.[1]
  • The ball now deals more damage on average. The damage dealt varies based on the move the ball was hit with, but also seems to differ slightly at times for no apparent reason.
• Super Hoop:
  • Super Hoop travels higher and requires less mashing for increased height. In addition, it is much easier to reach maximum height without the use of rhythmic tapping.
  • Super Hoop can hit up to three times, increasing its maximum damage output (5% → 15%).
  • Super Hoop's overall vertical distance has been reduced significantly. It is not possible to travel as far as in "Smash 4", even after reaching the maximum amount of button-mashing or rhythmic tapping possible.
• Deep Breathing:
  • Deep Breathing's initial speed is faster.
  • There is a wider window for Deep Breathing to successfully activate.
  • There is a significantly lower duration penalty for failing a Deep Breathing.
  • Successfully using Deep Breathing now increases Wii Fit Trainer's fall speed, run speed, and initial dash speed, significantly improving its use as an approaching tool.
• Wii Fit:
  • Wii Fit's silhouettes now have a limited travel distance. This trait is shared with Final Edge.
  • Wii Fit now launches a large, slow-moving Dancer pose image at the end of the move. This image has KO potential, increasing the Final Smash's overall reliability.

Update History

1.1.0

• Dash attack has less ending lag (FAF 43 → 39).

Moveset

• Wii Fit Trainer can increase overall damage output and overall knockback with Deep Breathing by ×1.2 and ×1.3, respectively. The following moveset list details the properties of all attacks when Deep Breathing has not been used.
• Wii Fit Trainer can crawl and wall jump.

Note: All numbers are listed as base damage, without the 1v1 multiplier.

		Name	Damage	Description
Neutral attack		Lunge	2.0% (front), 2.0% (rear)	Performs a Single Leg Extension, Knee Raise, and Single Leg Kneeling Squat to attack with an outstretched arm, knee strike, and kneeling stomp, respectively. The first hit also has a rear hitbox on Wii Fit Trainer's leg. The third hit is able to bury grounded opponents, which can easily follow up into a tilt attack or a smash attack. However, Wii Fit Trainer can also wait for the opponent to wriggle out of being buried and catch them with an aerial attack.
			2.0%
			3.0%
Forward tilt		Dancer	11%	Assumes the Dancer pose to simultaneously perform a knifehand thrust and scorpion kick. As a result, it is useful for punishing rolling opponents. Does not move the user at all on use, which can make it difficult to land. Both of Wii Fit Trainer's limbs have differing traits: the arm launches the opponent horizontally, whereas the leg launches them vertically. The arm KOs middleweights at 144% while near the edge, whereas the leg KOs them at 155%.
Up tilt		Triangle	10%	Assumes the Triangle pose to attack with an outstretched arm. The hitbox covers Wii Fit Trainer's arm and body while stepping backward to assume triangle pose. The rising arm is intangible. The arm hitbox launches the opponent straight up and is reliable for combos, particularly into itself and up smash, or as a follow-up from a short hopped up aerial. The body hitbox sends the opponent away at a diagonal angle.
Down tilt		Bridge	13.5%	Assumes the Bridge pose to attack with both knees. It has fairly quick start-up and deals both respectable damage and high hitstun, but lacks knockback for its power and has high ending lag. Useful for retaliating after dodging with a notable low crouch, hitting opponents on the ledge, or applying relatively safe shield pressure due to the pushback the move has.
Dash attack		Gate	10% (early), 6% (late)	Assumes the Gate pose while sliding to attack with an arcing arm. It has a respectable duration, which makes it useful for mindgames when used alongside a fox-trot. However, it is punishable on shield.
Forward smash		Warrior	15.5%	Assumes the Warrior pose to attack with an outstretched arms on both sides. Strikes in both directions. Its considerable start-up and ending lag make it very punishable. The uncharged forward smash KOs Mario around 78% at the edge of Final Destination.
Up smash		Tree	18% (hands), 15% (late hands/body)	Assumes the Tree pose to attack with an outstretched, clasped hands. Hits around Wii Fit Trainer with a weaker body hitbox. It has good vertical range and it grants intangibility from start-up, making it useful for aerial protection. The uncharged body hitbox KOs Mario around 103% off the top of Final Destination, and the uncharged early hands KOs Mario at 90%.
Down smash		Arm & Leg Lift	12%	Performs an Arm & Leg Lift to attack with an outstretched arm and outstretched leg. It is a semi-spike. The uncharged down smash KOs Mario around 86% at the edge of Final Destination, however it's low trajectory launch angle result in KOs at lower percentages against characters with poor recovery.
Neutral aerial		Jackknife	5% (hit 1), 9% (hit 2)	Assumes the Jackknife pose to attack with both arms and legs. It deals impressive damage when both of its hits connect, connects much easier compared to most attacks thanks to its fairly large hitbox, has minimal ending and landing lag. Altogether, these traits make it a very useful combo starter when SHFF'd, and is Wii Fot Trainer’s overall best combo starter.
Forward aerial		Single-Leg Extension	10.2% (front arm), 8.5% (rear leg)	Performs a Single Leg Extension to attack with an outstretched arm and outstretched leg. Due to its hitbox placements, it can hit opponents in front of and/or behind, but can be awkward to connect with due to its small hitboxes. Wii Fit Trainer's leg can meteor smash when clean, and thanks to it coming out on frame 9 like the arm hitbox, it is among the fastest meteor smashes in the game.
Back aerial		Cobra	13.5% (clean feet), 11.4% (clean legs), 7.6% (clean body), 5.1% (late)	Assumes the Cobra pose to perform a double-footed back kick. It comes out on frame 5, making it Wii Fit Trainer's fastest aerial, and a fast attack in general. When coupled with its high knockback growth, its clean feet hitbox enables it to KO Mario at 91% while near the edge of Final Destination.
Up aerial		Half Moon	8.5%	Assumes the Half Moon pose to attack with outstretched, clasped hands. It comes out on frame 6, making it Wii Fit Trainer's second fastest aerial, and a fast attack in general. In addition to having a wide range compared to the Trainer's other aerials, it has good juggling potential, auto-cancels from a short hop. It KOs Mario at 150% off the top of Final Destination.
Down aerial		Chair	13% (clean grounded), 14% (clean aerial), 10% (late)	Assumes the Chair pose to perform a double foot stomp. It can meteor smash aerial opponents, but not grounded ones. Despite this, it is still fairly powerful against grounded opponents, as it KOs middleweights at 144% while near the edge. However, it comes out on frame 15, which makes it Wii Fit Trainer's slowest aerial.
Grab			—	Performs a bodyweight squat to grab and lift the opponent off the ground. Wii Fit Trainer's grabs have extremely short ranges, to the point that they almost requires physically touching the opponent in order to connect.
Pummel			1.3%	Squeezes the opponent. It is an average speed pummel.
Forward throw			3% (hit 1), 7% (throw)	A jump serve, a technique used in volleyball.
Back throw			3% (hit 1), 6% (throw)	Throws the opponent backwards and then dropkicks them away.
Up throw			8%	A jump set, a technique used in volleyball.
Down throw			7%	Slams the opponent onto the ground between both legs.
Forward roll Back roll Spot dodge Air dodge		—	—
Techs		—	—
Floor attack (front) Floor getups (front)			7%	Performs a spinning, double-footed roundhouse kick.
Floor attack (back) Floor getups (back)			7%	Kicks around the floor while getting up.
Floor attack (trip) Floor getups (trip)			5%	Kicks around the floor while getting up.
Edge attack Edge getups			7%	Performs a dropkick while climbing up.
Neutral special		Sun Salutation	5% (uncharged), 21% (fully charged)	Assumes the Sun Worship pose and charges a yellow energy ball inthe air. Like Charge Shot, the energy ball grows in size as it charges. A fully charged Sun Salutation is quite strong, KOing Mario near the edge of Final Destination at 110%. Firing a fully charged Sun Salutation also heals Wii Fit Trainer by 2%. Charging a Sun Salutation also causes a weak push effect during the charge.
Side special		Header	15% (clean headbutt), 8.8%-10.7% (soccer ball)	Heads a soccer ball. It has impressive mindgame potential overall, due to its manipulable nature and hitboxes. The ball can be hit early if the special button is pressed, which launches the ball at different angles. Wii Fit Trainer can also air dodge upon initiating it, which drops the ball and allows Wii Fit Trainer to subsequently launching it with any other attack. However, air dodging while using Header renders helplessness. Aside from hitting the ball, the headbutt itself can be used as an attack and is able to meteor smash. In addition to its offensive potential, it has recovery potential: using it after a jump grants a slight boost upward, whereas using it while descending will briefly stall, similarly to Cape. However, it cannot be used again until Wii Fit Trainer either lands on a platform or stage or gets hit.
Up special		Super Hoop	5% per hit. 3 hits.	Hula hoops twirl around Wii Fit Trainer’s body in order to ascend. Button mashing or rhythmic tapping will make Wii Fit Trainer ascend higher and faster, which greatly improves its ascent. The hoops hit multiple times.
Down special		Deep Breathing	—	Takes a deep breath. When used correctly, it heals 2%, increases walking speed, run speed, initial dash speed, and fall speed, while also increasing overall damage output by 20%, and overall knockback by 30% for 9.8 seconds. However, it has a fairly long refresh time of 40 seconds. Subsequent uses before the 40 second refresh is complete yield smaller buffs and a shorter duration (7.2 seconds), regardless of whether or not the initial use was successful.
Final Smash		Wii Fit	2%/ 2.2%/ 2.5%/ 3% (medium silhouettes; based on position) 12% (large silhouette)	Assumes the Warrior pose to emit several multicolored afterimages forward, with each afterimage dealing damage and launching any opponents hit. The silhouettes assume varying yoga poses. A final, larger silhouette is released towards the end of the Final Smash. It travels much slowly across the stage compared to the smaller silhouettes. The final silhouette always assumes the Dancer pose.

On-screen appearance

• Wii Fit Trainer appears performing a Tree Pose while standing on a Wii Balance Board, then steps off of the balance board, which jumps up and gives a cheer before disappearing.

Role in World of Light

The female Wii Fit Trainer was among the fighters that were summoned to fight against the army of Master Hands. She was also present when Galeem unleashed his beams of light. She was seen alongside a panicking Duck Hunt and Villager. She seemed to accept her fate, and performed the Tree yoga pose as she was hit by a beam of light. She was then placed under Galeem's imprisonment along with the rest of the fighters, excluding Kirby.

In the mode itself, she can be found by choosing to save Sheik instead of Villager or Marth in a city area.

Spirits

Wii Fit Trainer's Fighter Spirits can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. They are also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Wii Fit Trainer in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As Fighter Spirits, they cannot be used in Spirit Battles and are purely aesthetic. Unlike most fighters, the Spirits for Wii Fit Trainer only use their artwork from Ultimate due to not having official artwork from the Wii Fit games.

Additionally, the Wii Fit Trainers makes an appearance in various Support Spirits.

Trivia

• Wii Fit Trainer and Ryu are the only two characters whose full renders are not on the official website. In this case, the picture stops just below the thighs.
• In the World of Light trailer, the female Wii Fit Trainer performs the Tree yoga pose just before she is hit by a beam of light. This may reference the fact that her up smash, which uses the same pose, grants her intangibility for a brief moment.
• In French, Spanish, and German, the voice clip from the announcer on the victory screen is slightly different from the one used on the character select screen, instead featuring a noticeable translation of "the" ("l'Entraîneuse Wii Fit"/"l'Entraîneur Wii Fit", "la Entrenadora de Wii Fit"/"el Entrenador de Wii Fit", and "die Wii Fit-Trainerin"/"der Wii Fit-Trainer"). She shares this trait with Inkling, Pokémon Trainer, Villager, and the Mii Fighters.
