Anakin faces his demons
—Introduction tagline

Anakin (アナキン, Anakin) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed as a playable character on April 1st, 2021, and is scheduled for release on April 31st, 2021. Anakin is classified as Fighter #81.

Hayden Christensen and James Earl Jones reprise their roles from the films.

Known Information[edit]

Two of Anakin’s alternate costumes turn him into the suited Darth Vader.

If Anakin is present on any stage with sand terrain, such as Tortimer Island, he will gradually take damage.

Moveset[edit]

  • Most of Skywalker's lightsaber attacks can deflect energy projectiles and destroy other projectiles.
  • Anakin’s special moves consist of force abilities seen in the Star Wars franchise.
    • Neutral special: Throwing his lightsaber and bringing it back.
    • Side special: Similar to dancing blade.
    • Up special: Does a Force Jump
    • Down special: Using the Force sees the future and counters, similar to Vision.
    • Final Smash: Similar to Ken and Ryu, Anakin has two final smashes, both called The Force Unleashed after the video game.
      • If up close a cutscene plays, as Skywalker it looks like his son's appearance in The Mandalorian and if Vader his appearance in Rouge One.
      • If far away, Anakin/Darth jumps away. Palpatine appears in the background (like Palutena's army) and uses Force Lightning on everyone.

Taunts[edit]

  • Looks down and says I miss you Padmé.
  • Tosses his Lightsaber while saying "This is where the funny begins."
  • Shouts, "I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire."
    • As Darth Vader shouts, "I find your lack of faith disturbing."

Victory Poses[edit]

  • In his appearance during Order 66 Skywalker walks in front of a bunch of Clone Troopers.
    • As Vader he instead walks in front of a bunch of Stormtroopers.
  • Builds something as if it were Lego Star Wars.
  • Knees beside the Emperor then stands up when motioned.
  • Instead of clapping like most of the other characters in the game, it has him burning alive and screaming "I HATE YOU!".

In the character trailer this was used as the victory theme, despite it not representing victory.

Role in World of Light[edit]

The message that shows Byleth's availability in World of Light

Due to his status as downloadable content, Anakin 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 Byleth[sic], he is immediately unlocked.

Trivia[edit]

  • Saker eye (not Sakurai) stated that he had worked for years with George Lucas to make an “AFD Joke”.
    • Lucas further stated that it wasn’t a joke but for the memes from the prequels.
  • Like Joker, Anakin’s last two alts are different from the rest.
  • Skywalker is the first character to originate from something other than a video game.
  • On Boxing Ring he is called The Chosen One of the Force.
    • As Darth Vader he is Second only to the Emperor.
  • He is based on his Star Wars Legends counterpart.

Anakin Skywalker (アナキン・スカイウォーカー, Anakin Sukaiwōkā) is the main character of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy and the main antagonist of the Original Trilogy as Darth Vader (ダース・ベイダー, Darth Vader).

Origin[edit]

Main article: wikipedia:Darth Vader

In the 1977 film Star Wars the main antagonist is Darth Vader. Over the years more about the “Galaxy far far away” was revealed. Darth Vader’s real name was shown to be Anakin Skywalker.

Star Wars creator George Lucas has collectively referred to the first six episodic films of the franchise as "the tragedy of Darth Vader".[1]

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

As a playable character[edit]

An April 1st, a day where everyone reveals things, Anakin Skywalker was revealed to be a playable character in SSBU releasing on April 31st. They also stated he will be for free on February 28-32nd. "He is in a not challenger pack." [sic]
Two of Anakin's palette swaps turn him into the suited Darth Vader.
His moveset is a combination of Skywalker and Vader's meaning it is faster and weaker than Vader and slower and stronger than Skywalker.

Spirits[edit]

  • Skywalker is one of the few characters to not have their head as the Stock Icon.
    • His is a variation of his series symbol.

Article on Wikipedia Star Wars (universe)

The Star Wars universe (スター・ウォーズ, Star Wars) refers to the Smash Bros. series' collection of characters, stages and properties that hail from the video game franchise developed by Microsoft subsidiary Mojang Studios. Since its development versions in 2009 and official release in 2011, Minecraft has become a worldwide cultural phenomenon and is the single best-selling video game of all time[2], spawning a litany of spinoffs.

Franchise description[edit]

Minecraft is an open-world sandbox game about survival and creativity, with a block based world and blocky characters. Worlds always generate randomly based on set seeds, allowing players to have a different experience in each world while different worlds can be generated by all players through the seeds. In Survival Mode, the focus is to gather resources and get stronger while building a home base. Steve is effectively the main character, as the default appearance of the player's avatar. At night, players may encounter mobs like Zombies, Creepers, Spiders, Endermen, and more. While never told by the game itself during gameplay, the goal is to kill the Ender Dragon, who lives in the End dimension. Creative Mode focuses on building creations with the wide array of different blocks and materials. The game allows players to play with other people with servers, or on Realms. There are also some spinoff titles of Minecraft, namely AR mobile game Minecraft Earth, the action RPG Minecraft Dungeons and the adventure game Minecraft Story Mode, along with Minecraft Education Edition existing as a learning tool.

The popularity of Minecraft has led to many third party companies basing new games on it or having crossovers with the Minecraft IP. For example, Square Enix's Dragon Quest Builders series is a mix between Minecraft's blocky design and survival genre and Dragon Quest's characters and role-playing genre.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

The Star Wars universe will be introduced in Ultimate as DLC for Challenger Pack 10?, with one fighter, a stage, music tracks, and several Spirits.

Primary universes[edit]

These are the video game series and franchises that the Super Smash Bros. games classify as major enough that they assign each franchise its own unique symbol that appears with characters and stages belonging to that franchise. These franchises generally have characters, stages, items, and other properties that all appear in Smash Bros. games as part of their primary content. However, the minimum requirement for a symbol is to contribute one stage or one character to the games, with one notable exception. Universes that only contribute a stage, with the sole exception of Animal Crossing in Brawl, do not get a separate universe listing in the trophies pages and items and spirits are not tagged with the symbol (for example, Golden Hammer is listed as a Mario item and the Rocket Belt is listed under others).

  • The Super Smash Bros. universe: The "default" universe, this represents the Smash Bros. games themselves and accompanies all appearances of characters and stages that are thematically original to the fighting games themselves. Many original characters have been introduced here, but none thus far have been actually playable, with most serving as enemies and bosses in single-player content. The universe symbol seen here is also used as a "placeholder" by the games to indicate a minor universe without its own symbol until Ultimate, where an ellipsis is used instead. In Super Smash Bros. 4, the Super Smash Bros. universe gets its own character representation by the customizable Mii Brawler, Mii Swordfighter, and Mii Gunner.
