Greninja (ゲッコウガ, Gekkouga) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

  •   As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Greninja's model features a slightly more subdued color scheme. Its model and textures otherwise appear unchanged.
  •   As with most fighters, Greninja's attacks have enhanced particle effects.

Ground attacks

  •   Greninja has a new down tilt which launches at a more upward angle, improving its combo potential.

Special moves

  •   Water Shuriken is much smaller when fully charged.
  •   Shadow Sneak has a new animation when used. The attacking part of the move is a forward kick instead. Additionally, the shadow's "eyes" flash when Greninja teleports.
  •   Substitute has more vibrant particles when activated.
  •   Substitute activates faster, allowing for an easier hit.
