Duck Hunt, which consists of the dog and a duck from the game Duck Hunt, are playable characters in Super Smash Bros. 4, as confirmed by a leaker's Twitch stream. Its artwork matches a previous leak.

Known Moveset

• The dog does most of the fighting, while the duck flies around him. The duck is used for some attacks, such as their Up special.
• Most of the dog's moves involve spins, bites and paw swipes.
• Their Forward smash and Down smash involve a hunter from the foreground shooting near the duo.
• Duck Hunt's up throw holds an opponent above the dog, which then kicks the character upwards.
• One of his moves, presumably his Neutral special, involves throwing a tin can from Hogan's Alley, which is then shot from the fourth wall, causing it to explode. The explosion can also hurt the dog.
• Their Up special involves the duck flying upwards with the dog in its grasp.
• One of their specials involves summoning a cowboy from Wild Gunman, who fires his gun forward.
• Their Final Smash is a cinematic, similar to that of Captain Falcon. When activated, a flock of 8-bit ducks fly in front of the dog and duck. If they hit an opponent, a cutscene then plays where the opponent is repeatedly shot by the characters from Wild Gunman, with cans and ducks flying everywhere.

Trivia

• Duck Hunt is the only newcomer not to appear in any games featured on Nintendo's 7th and 8th generation consoles.
• Duck Hunt, Palutena, and Wii Fit Trainer are the only playable characters in the Super Smash Bros. series that do not have a playable appearance in any other video game. In previous Smash instalments, before the release of Hyrule Warriors, only Ganondorf and Sheik had this trait.
