| The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
| When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Charizard 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, Charizard's model is less vibrantly colored.- Charizard now hangs onto the edge with one hand instead of two.
Attributes
Charizard's mid air jumps carry it higher than before.- When grabbing the ledge, Charizard's head no longer peaks above it, this makes it harder for Charizard to get attacked when vulnerable.
Ground attacks
Charizard's jab combo now requires specific timing of each input to deal maximum damage.- Charizard's up tilt has lower vertical range.
- Charizard's forward smash is slightly stronger (17% → 19%).
Aerial attacks
- Neutral aerial causes Charizard's tail flame to grow, making it easier to sweetspot. Its overall speed and power has also been increased (sweetspot/sourspot: 12% → 15% / 9% → 12%).
- Charizard's down aerial has increased ending lag.
Special Moves
- Flamethrower has a significantly larger hitbox. Additionally, its size does not decrease as fast, and it is still usable at its smallest.
- Flare Blitz is significantly stronger (19% → 26%) and deals even more knockback.
- Flare Blitz causes Charizard to enter a tumble animation for a longer period of time after impact.
- Fly's distance has greatly increased, allowing Charizard to recover to the ledge of Battlefield from the stage's lowest point.
- Pokémon Change can now be used in the air and is much quicker. Like in Brawl, it also offers brief invincibility upon switching out, though the quicker switch time allows it to potentially combo into another Pokémon's moves, or function somewhat as an alternative "air dodge". It also allows the user to essentially choose the recovery that suits a situation best.
- Pokémon Change can only be used outside of hitstun, preventing exploiting of the move's intangibility. Similarly, spamming Pokémon Change will grant no invincibility frames for a period of time.
- Now that it is once again part of the Pokémon Trainer rotation, Charizard's down special, Rock Smash, has been replaced with Pokémon Change, effectively eliminating Rock Smash from its moveset.
- Charizard's Final Smash has been reverted from Mega Charizard X to Triple Finish.
