Corrin (カムイ, Kamui) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018. As in the previous title, both the male and female versions of Corrin are playable, and are voiced in English by Cam Clarke and Marcella Lentz-Pope, respectively.

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 SSB4, Corrin's model features a more subdued color scheme.
  •   Corrin's high knockback voice clips, previously only heard in SSB4's Sound Test, are now used properly.
  •   Corrin now has a unique victory theme, based upon Lost in Thoughts All Alone.[1]

Attributes

  •   Like all characters, Corrin's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.
  •   Corrin's double jump covers less distance.

Ground Moves

  •   The third hit of neutral attack is now an outward slash rather than a stab.
  •   The individual hits of Corrin's infinite are much faster, and trap opponents more reliably.
  •   Dash attack has less end lag.
  •   Corrin's forward smash now has a water hit effect.

Aerial Moves

  •   All aerials, except down aerial, have reduced landing lag.
  •   Forward aerial has more startup.
  •   Back aerial pushes Corrin farther back, which improves its safety and recovery potential.
  •   Down aerial's landing hit deals more knockback.

Throws/other attacks

  •   Standing grab has increased start-up lag and ending lag, and dash grab has increased ending lag.
  •   Corrin has a new pummel, a knee-kick. It is additionally faster than his previous pummel.
  •   Corrin's forward throw has lower base knockback.
  •   Corrin's down throw has considerably higher knockback, making it better for KOs.

Special moves

  •   Pinned Dragon Lunge ends faster when idle.
  •   The kick portion of Dragon Lunge has Corrin slant towards the ground during the kick itself, rather than after. This, combined with the slower speed of the kick, ends up reducing the distance that the kick travels, which reduces its utility, and makes it easier to punish.
  •   Dragon Lunge can now be canceled by pressing down on the control stick.[2]
  •   Draconic Ascent starts faster.
  •   Draconic Ascent halts at the end of the move instead of granting slight momentum, reducing its recovery potential.
  •   Counter Surge deals far less knockback.

Trivia

  • Corrin is one of two characters to receive a new victory theme different from their universe's standard victory theme after their debut appearance, the other being Bowser in Smash 4.
    • Unlike Bowser, it is a completely new victory theme, as opposed to a remix of the standard Fire Emblem one.
