Peach (SSBU)
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. As in Smash 4, Samantha Kelly's portrayal of Peach from Brawl was repurposed for Ultimate.

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 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.
  • Change Like other fighters, Peach is much more expressive, now having facial expressions for many more attacks.
  • Change Peach's dress now has independent physics.
  • Change Peach always faces the screen regardless of which direction she turns. As a result, her stance, moveset, and animations are now mirrored.
    • Buff This allows the player to see which turnip face is held when facing left.
  • Change Down taunt now has a heart pop up next to her head. She also no longer spins, and winks immediately.
  • Change Side taunt has been shortened, she now only dances back and forth instead of the 3 step dance, though the music notes still appear.
  • Change Peach's second jump animation has changed slightly.
  • Change Peach's air dodge animation has changed, and no longer uses the spinning dodge.
  • Change While floating, Peach now faces the screen instead of facing the side, and her dress no longer puffs up while she floats.
  • Change Peach has a new alternate costume - a golden dress. It replaces her Princess Daisy-inspired costume, most likely due to Daisy now being a separate character as Peach's Echo Fighter.
  • Change All of Peach's victory animations have changed.

Attributes

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

Ground Attacks

  • Change Down tilt has been changed from a sweep with her hand to a sweep kick.
    • Buff Down tilt comes out faster.
  • Buff First hit of dash attack combos into the second hit much more reliably.
  • Change Dash attack now has hearts at the end of the move.
  • Buff Forward smash no longer cycles between its three weapons in a set order, instead being determined by which angle the stick is held. This greatly improves its reliability, letting Peach use a particular weapon repeatedly without having to telegraph it.
    • Buff Forward smash's frying pan variant in particular has noticeably greater damage and knockback.
  • Buff Down smash now has 8 hits instead of 5.
  • Buff Up smash has an additional hitbox at the tip, where a heart graphic appears at the end of the ribbon.

Aerial attacks

  • Buff All aerials have less landing lag.
  • Buff Forward aerial is now a Magic attack and has a quicker startup.
  • Change Back aerial is now a Magic attack and produces a heart.
  • Nerf Down aerial has shorter range and cannot connect hits as reliably.
  • Buff Down aerial launches at a more horizontal angle making it a better combo starter such as using Forward aerial.

Throws/other attacks

  • Change Toad now appears when Peach grabs an opponent to attack alongside her when she uses her pummel and throws. Toad also still appears in her back throw and up throw despite not directly attacking the opponent.
    • Change Because of this, Peach has a new pummel, where Toad punches the opponent.
    • Change Peach has a new forward throw, where Toad headbutts the opponent away.
    • Change Peach also has a new down throw, where Toad headbutts the opponent into the ground.
  • Buff Up throw and back throw both deal greater damage.

Special Moves

  • Buff 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 and increased in damage.
    • Nerf Toad no longer makes Peach float slightly upwards when triggered airborne.
  • Buff Peach Bomber now deals more damage and knockback.
  • Buff An aerial Peach Bomber now has less startup lag.
    • Buff Peach can control her drift much earlier during lag after an aerial Peach Bomber.
  • Buff Peach Parasol has less landing lag when open.
    • Buff The final hit of Peach Parasol inflicts more knockback.
    • Buff Peach Parasol has less landing lag when shut.
  • Buff Turnips are pulled out much quicker, and now bounce off the ground once instead of disappearing immediately.
    • Buff Turnips have higher knockback growth, allowing them to KO at high percentages.

Role in World of Light

Peach was absent in the World of Light trailer, though she presumably became a spirit alongside the rest of the galaxy (sans Kirby) when Galeem unleashed its beams of light. She is seen in the gameplay section to where she unlocks a new area.
