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

• Players can customize the Mii Fighter's voice clips. Up to 12 voices are selectable.
• Mii Swordfighters have had their body proportions adjusted.
• While still based off the "Guest B" Mii, the default Mii Swordfighter has an altered appearance.
• The default outfits for the Mii Swordfighters have significantly more detail, now wearing a tunic, with additional armor pieces and a sheath.

Attributes

• Universal 3-frame jumpsquat vastly improves the Mii Swordfighter's ground-to-air transitioning, as its previous jumpsquat lasted 7 frames.

Ground attacks

• Dash attack is now an outward swipe instead of an outward stab, similar to Toon Link's. It has more vertical range but less horizontal.
• Up smash now consists of two slashes instead of three, decreasing its ending lag.

Aerial attacks

• Down aerial now has a different animation and less ending lag.

Throws/Other Moves

• The Mii Swordfighter's pummel is now a knee strike.
• Down throw now throws opponents to the ground, similar to Marth's.

Special Moves

• Gale Strike disappears once the last hitbox is gone, lowering its range and utility to blow opponents and items away.
  • To compensate, the gale travels a greater distance, it has an active hitbox during its duration, and deals more knockback.
• Blurring Blade now sets the Swordfighter's blade aflame for its duration, deals flame damage, and ends in an upward slash, rather than a thrust. The final hit has a larger hitbox because of this.
• Airborne Assault no longer leaves the Mii in a helpless animation if the move hits. This increases the Mii's recovery options.
  • Airborne Assault's rebounding animation has the Mii perform a flourishing backflip.
• Slash Launcher has a new animation that has the Mii perform a charging stab rather than a reverse-gripped slash.
• Stone Scabbard goes much higher than before, increasing its usefulness as a recovery move. It also grants more horizontal momentum at the start, with a larger hitbox.
• Blade Counter has a new visual effect, and now retaliates with an upward slash.
  • The slash sends opponents vertically, similar to Corrin's counter, making it easy for follow ups.
• Power Thrust has a slightly different animation, and it now produces a slightly smaller amount of fiery particles.
• Final Edge now causes the Mii Swordfighter to rapidly performs slashes while each beam comes out instead of holding the sword skyward.
