  Name Damage Description
Neutral attack   3%/2% (first hit,sweetspot/sourspot), 2% (second hit), ?% (loop) 3% (final hit) Corrin pokes the opponent with a Dragon Fang, slashes them upwards with his sword, and performs a turning outward slash to finish the combo. If the rapid-jab is initiated, Corrin transforms his free arm into a draconic mouth that repeatedly bites the opponent until finishing with a final bite.
Forward tilt   10.5% Corrin swings his sword downwards akin to a Mii Swordfighter's forward tilt. Has vertical knockback and is Corrin's strongest tilt.
Up tilt   9% Corrin performs a twirling upwards slash with his sword, similar to Shulk's up tilt but with less range.
Down tilt   7.5% Corrin slashes Omega Yato across the ground, knocking opponents upwards. Can lead into up tilt at lower percentages.
Dash attack   2% (1-5 hits), 3% (final hit) Corrin spins forward in a corkscrew-like manner. Functions like a drill attack in that it deals multiple hits.
Forward smash   0.5% (sword, 1-12 hits) 16% (tip), 15% (mid), 12% (close) Corrin extends his arm into a spear with Dragon Fang and stabs opponents away. Has tremendous reach and can be angled. The sweetspot is at the tip and KOs around 110%. Has a hitbox while charging, where Corrin holds Omega Yato to repeatedly cut his opponent with the chainsaw blades, though this does not lead into the sweetspot.
Up smash   15% (tip), 13% (mid), 10% (side) Corrin crouches and transforms his arms into Dragon Fangs, pointing them upward to launch opponents. Has a sweetspot at the tip that KOs around 100%, but its range is poor.
Down smash   11% (sword), 14% (leg, sweetspot) 9% (leg, sourspot) Corrin transforms one of his legs into a Dragon Fang, then launches opponents on both sides with his sword and Dragon Fang leg. Animation is similar to the Mii Brawler's down smash. The tip of Corrin's leg has a sweetspot that KOs at 110%.
Neutral aerial   8% (clean), 6% (late) Corrin slashes with the Omega Yato from above to behind him and uses Dragon Fang to slash in front of him with his transformed arm.
Forward aerial   8.5% Corrin slashes forward with the Omega Yato, similar to Marth's, Roy's, and Lucina's forward aerials. Deals fairly low knockback.
Back aerial   11% Corrin sprouts dragon wings and uses them to attack behind him. Can be used for recoveries as it propels Corrin forward like R.O.B.'s back aerial. Good knockback, but noticeable startup lag.
Up aerial   10% Corrin swipes with his sword above him, closely resembling the up aerials of all the other Fire Emblem characters (sans Ike). Good vertical KO move
Down aerial   2% (1-5 hits), 3% (final hit) Corrin's legs morph into spears with Dragon Fang as he zooms downward feet first. A stall-then-fall meteor smash drill.
Grab   Leans forward slightly and reaches out with his left hand.
Pummel   3% Corrin hits his opponent with Omega Yato's hilt, similar to Shulk's pummel. Fairly slow.
Forward throw   5% (first hit), 2% (throw) Corrin transforms his arm and stabs his opponent with it, knocking them upwards away from him. Low knockback scaling.
Back throw   6% (first hit), 2% (throw) Corrin places his opponent behind him and stabs them upwards with his transformed arm, knocking them away from him. Similar to forward throw, though with slightly more damage.
Up throw   6.5% (first hit), 3% (throw) Corrin lifts his opponent above him and assumes his dragon form, headbutting them skyward and reverting back to human form. KOs around 160%.
Down throw   6.5% (body slam), 3% (throw) Corrin throws his opponent on the ground and assumes his dragon form, body-slamming them and reverting back to human form. Similar to up throw.

Neutral special Default Dragon Fang Shot 4-13% (shot), 10%-15% (arm) Corrin's left hand transforms into a dragon's mouth and fires a ball of water. The ball of water can temporarily paralyze opponents in addition to sending them back. After about a second, Corrin's dragon hand will bite before reverting to normal, hurting and sending away nearby opponents. The longer the attack is charged, the more damage and knockback the projectile will cause. The opponent will also be stunned longer. When fully charged, Corrin will finish the attack by clamping down forcefully with the dragon mouth, causing considerable damage and knockback.

Side special Default Dragon Lunge 15%/8%/7% (spear, tip/mid/close) 12% (kick, clean), 7% (kick, late) Corrin jumps, and then after pressing B, Corrin's hand turns into a spear of sorts. Depending on the delay on the input, Corrin will either go into the ground (or pin a character if one is in the way) or poke at someone. If a character is pinned, Corrin can do a Left Kick, Right Kick, Jump or Cancel. The kicks have nice knockback and are great for kills at high percentages while jumping and cancelling can be used for various combos.
Custom 1 N/A
Custom 2 N/A
Up special Default Draconic Ascent 4% (first hit), 1% (1-6 hits), 3% (final hit) Corrin grows dragon wings and begins to fly. Deals 6 hits during the flight, and the flight can be angled a bit like Roy's Blazer. The overall distance covered is a mid range amount but it is still significantly useful for recovery. The 6th hit of the attack is also useful as a kill move, making it a good option as a combo finisher.
Custom 1 N/A
Custom 2 N/A
Down special Default Counter Surge 10% (minimum) Corrin uses a counter motion. When hit, Corrin turns into a dragon using Dragon Fang, and slams the ground. A surge of water (hence the name) then erupts from the ground on both sides of Corrin, launching opponents.
Custom 1 N/A
Custom 2 N/A
Final Smash Torrential Roar 7% (initial), 34% (whirlpool) Corrin uses a motion similar to Counter Surge. If the move hits any opponents, they are transported to a rocky mountain scene in a similar fashion to Captain Falcon's Blue Falcon. Corrin transforms into a dragon then uses a whirlpool move, washing all the fighters away in a water cyclone, launching them and going back to the standard stage.

Trophies

Corrin
Ntsc Corrin joins the battle from Fire Emblem Fates. Born in Hoshido but kidnapped by Nohr at a young age, Corrin was brought up by Nohrian royalty. Descended from the First Dragons, Corrin has the power to transform into a dragon. In Smash, Corrin can change parts of the body into lance-like hands and feet that have a long reach that deal more damage at the tips.
Pal Corrin from Fire Emblem Fates was born a Hoshido royal but kidnapped as a child and raised by the Nohr royal family. Descended from the First Dragons, Corrin has the power to transform into a dragon. In Smash this means lance-like hands and feet with a long reach whose tips deal the most damage. Use this reach to inflict high damage at a distance!
3DS: Fire Emblem Fates -- 2016
Corrin (Alt.)
Ntsc Corrin's side special, Dragon Lunge, is no normal attack–skewer a surface with a lance-like arm, and it will suspend you in the air. Pin an enemy while doing this, and you can keep them in place and then follow up with a flying kick forward or back or just jump up. You can only thrust the lance once before landing.

Torrential Roar
Corrin blasts two columns of light on either side. If one hits an enemy, Corrin transforms into a fearsome dragon and unleashes a maelstrom that launches anyone unlucky enough to be caught. The light columns shoot straight up for a short moment, so using this move high up after knocking or throwing enemies overhead is very effective!

Trivia

  • Corrin is the newest character to be introduced as playable in Super Smash Bros. 4, with Fire Emblem Fates post-dating SSB4's release by nine months in Japan.
  • Corrin and Roy are the only two DLC fighters from the same series.
  • Corrin is the only DLC character to have both a male and female variant.
  • Corrin is the only DLC newcomer that does not come packed with a stage, though downloading Corrin on the Wii U version adds two music tracks from Fire Emblem Fates to the existing Fire Emblem stages Castle Siege and Coliseum: the original version and a rearrangement of the song Lost In Thoughts All Alone. The remix is added in the 3DS version as a Smash Run track.
  • Corrin is the only Fire Emblem character that doesn't use a warp circle as an on-screen appearance.
  • Corrin is the only fighter that has his alternate trophies being in the same pose on both versions.
    • He is also the third character where both of his alternate trophies use the same alternate costume, the others being Bowser Jr. and Cloud.
  • When Corrin is KO'd, he may say, "How... can this...?".
