Corrin (カムイ, Kamui) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Corrin is classified as fighter #62.
As in Smash 4, 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
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 (down from 6).
- Corrin dashes faster.
- Corrin's double jump covers less distance.
Ground Attacks
- 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 Attacks
- All aerials, except down aerial, have less landing lag.
- Forward aerial has more startup.
- Back aerial pushes Corrin farther forward, 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.
- Forward throw has lower base knockback.
- Down throw has considerably higher knockback, making it better for KOs.
Special Moves
- 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.
- Pinned Dragon Lunge will end automatically if left idle much faster than before.
- 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 gives slightly more active frames.
- Counter Surge counterattack no longer covers him from above, which gives it less vertical range and making it unsafe from opponents attacking above him. It also deals dramatically less knockback, no longer being one of the strongest counterattacks in the game.
Role in World of Light
Corrin was absent in the World of Light trailer, though he presumably became a spirit alongside the rest of the galaxy (excluding Kirby) when Galeem unleashed its beams of light.
