THE super princess. Watch out for her powerful kicks while she's airborne. Using her down special, she picks vegetables and throws them at her opponents. Sometimes she even gets items...like a Bob-omb!

Peach (ピーチ, Peach) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. She was announced for the game on June 12th, 2018. As opposed to being a starter like in the other Smash Bros. games, Peach is now an unlockable character.

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.

Aesthetics

  •   As with all veterans returning from Smash 4, Peach's model features a more subdued color scheme. Her hair and gloves now feature simple detailing, similar to her design in Brawl. Her dress retains its design from the previous iteration, but now features a glossy satin texture.
  •   Like other fighters, Peach is much more expressive, now having facial expressions for many more attacks.
  •   Peach's dress now has independent physics.
  •   Peach always faces the screen regardless of which direction she turns. As a result, her stance, moveset, and animations are now mirrored.
  •   Down taunt now has a heart pop up next to her head. She also no longer spins, and winks immediately.
  •   Side taunt has been shortened, she now only dances back and forth instead of the 3 step dance, though the music notes still appear.
  •   Peach's second jump animation has changed slightly.
  •   Peach's air dodge animation has changed, and no longer uses the spinning dodge.
  •   While floating, Peach now faces the screen instead of facing the side, and her dress no longer puffs up while she floats.
  •   Peach has a new alternate costume - a golden dress. It replaces her Princess Daisy-inspired costume.

Attributes

  •   Like all characters, Peach’s jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.
  •   Peach jumps higher.
  •   Peach runs slightly faster.

Ground Attacks

  •   Down tilt has been changed from a sweep with her hand to a sweep kick.
  •   Down tilt covers more range, and comes out significantly faster.
  •   Dash attack does more damage and knockback and KOs more easily.
  •   First hit of dash attack combos into the second hit much more reliably.
  •   Forward smash no longer cycles between its three weapons in a set order, instead being determine by which angle the stick is held. This greatly improves its reliability, letting Peach use a particular weapon repeatedly without having to telegraph it.
  •   Forward smash has less endlag.
  •   Forward smash (Frying pan) deals much more damage and knockback.
  •   Up smash now has a heart at the end of the ribbon. The heart has a hitbox that extends the range of the attack. It also has less endlag.
  •   Down smash covers more range and has less endlag.

Aerial attacks

Throws/other attacks

  •   Toad now appears when Peach grabs an opponent to attack alongside her when she uses her pummel and throws.
    •   Because of this, Peach has a new pummel, where Toad punches the opponent.
    •   Peach has a new forward throw, where Toad headbutts the opponent away.
    •   Peach also has a new down throw, where Toad headbutts the opponent into the ground.

Special Moves

  •   Toad's counterattack now has Toad immediately appear on the ground next to Peach, bodyguarding her, instead of Peach using him as a shield. The move's startup lag was also significantly reduced.
  •   Peach Parasol has less landing lag.
  •   Turnips are pulled out much quicker, and now bounce off the ground once instead of disappearing immediately.
