Bayonetta (ベヨネッタ, Bayonetta) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. She was confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Bayonetta seems to have been heavily nerfed from Smash Bros 4.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Bayonetta's model features a more subdued color scheme.
• Love is Blue and Scarborough Fair have louder sound effects to distinguish the two.
• Bayonetta's taunts are sped up.

Aerial Attacks

• Held neutral aerial appears to have increased landing lag.
• Forward aerial's knockback appears to have been altered. This means that the first hit of it can no longer combo into After Burner Kick.
• Down aerial's knockback appears to have been lowered.

Special moves

• Bullet Climax's charge can no longer be cancelled by shielding, rolling, or air dodging.
• If the first hit of Heel Slide is blocked by a shield, she will be unable to use the second hit.
• Downwards After Burner Kick can no longer be autocancelled.
• Witch Twist has increased startup.
• Witch Time no longer grants intangibility when used, and its effect duration has been significantly lowered. It also has increased ending lag and cannot be interrupted as early.
• The screen turns dark whenever someone is affected by Witch Time.

Throws/other attacks

• Bayonetta's hand now grabs characters using a form of umbran magic, as seen via a slightly updated animation where she swings her hand around, which is sparkling with a noticeable umbran purple.

Trivia

• In the E3 2018 demo build of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a possible bug allowed Bayonetta to perform her infamous triple jump glitch while performing Witch Twist, which was especially noted during the match between Plup and MkLeo.
