| Neutral special | Force projection | 0% | Create an illusory doppelgänger of themselves but only lasts for 5 seconds. | |
| Side special | Force speed | 10% (air only) | Uses the Force that allowed Obi-Wan to increase their speed for a brief time. Similar to Ike's Quick Draw if used in the air and can also cause helpless. | |
| Up special | Teleport | 0% | Telports using the Force similar to Mewtwo. | |
| Down special | Jedi mind trick | 20% | Obi-Wan mind controls the opponent using the Force. | |
| Final Smash | High-Ground | 60% | Similar to the fight between Obi-Wan and Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. Obi-Wan has the High Ground and the opponent burns alive. | |
Role in World of LightEdit
Due to his status as downloadable content, Obi-Wan Kenobi does not have a legitimate role in World of Light. Instead, he is unlocked for use in the mode after freeing 10 fighters from Galeem's control. If loading an existing save file that meets this condition before downloading Obi-Wan Kenobi, he is immediately unlocked.
SpiritEdit
Obi-Wan Kenobi's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Obi-Wan Kenobi has been downloaded. Unlocking Obi-Wan Kenobi in World of Light allows the player to preview the spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. His fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces it with his artwork in Ultimate.
