Luma mimicks Rosalina's attacks. Luma also increases Rosalina's reach and can even take a hit for her! If Rosalina gets hit, Luma gets very flustered and flutters both hands.

Rosalina & Luma (ロゼッタ&チコ, Rosetta & Chiko) are playable characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, controlled as one. They were confirmed as playable characters on June 12, 2018. Continuing a trend often set in the Mario series, Rosalina & Luma are now unlockable characters. Kerri Kane, who first voiced Rosalina in Mario Kart 7, reprises her role via recycled voice clips from Smash 4.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

An icon used in notice templates. 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

  • Change As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Rosalina and Luma's models feature a more subdued color scheme. Rosalina's gown now features simple textile detailing.
  • Change Rosalina's slippers are now their usual silver, rather than matching the blue shade of her dress.
  • Change During Power Star, an outer space backdrop temporarily appears.
  • Change Rosalina's dress now has independent physics.
  • Change Rosalina's airdodge now causes a bright light to appear as she steps right or left. Additionally, her sidestep animation now features more effects as she teleports.

Attributes

  • Buff Like all characters, Rosalina's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.
  • Buff Rosalina's shield now covers Luma as well. [1]
  • Nerf Luma now panics when Rosalina takes damage, preventing her from controlling it while she's in hitstun.
  • Buff Luma's respawn time has shortened from 13 seconds to seven seconds.

Ground Attacks

  • Nerf Luma's jab movement and range have decreased significantly, no longer pushing Luma forward. This hinders Rosalina's ability to space with jab.

Aerial Attacks

  • Change Rosalina has a new neutral aerial: she spins her wand around herself.
    • Buff Neutral aerial now hits in front of Rosalina first, improving its usability and safety. It also has greatly decreased endlag.
    • Nerf However, neutral aerial's range has been nerfed significantly. It also has slightly increased startup frames and less active frames.
  • Nerf Up aerial's endlag has increased.
  • Nerf Down aerial is slower in terms of speed.

Special Moves

  • Buff Gravitational Pull can now equip items instead of only pulling them in.
  • Buff Power Star pulls opponents in towards the multi-hitting star, making it more effective as a damage dealing attack. The Power Star itself also covers more area, and grows significantly faster.
  • Nerf Power Star has a shorter duration.
  • Change Power Star is now a Grand Star.

Trivia

  • Rosalina's video on the official website features a visual glitch: when Rosalina uses her new neutral aerial her dress goes abnormally high, revealing her legs disjointed from her body.
  • One of the screenshots on the official website featuring Rosalina in a white-and-red dress and a seemingly dazed Pichu is a reference to the White Mage, a classic healing class from the Final Fantasy series.
