—Introduction Tagline

Villager (むらびと, Murabito) has been confirmed to be a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. 4. Similar to Mr. Game & Watch, his moveset will involve using a variety of miscellaneous objects from his series to attack. On May 16th it was confirmed that, just like the Wii Fit Trainer, players will be able to play as Male and Female versions of the Villager and will be able to select different varieties of Villager based on hair and face as well.

Known moveset

• Neutral Attack - Punching with a pair of boxing gloves, Punch-Out!!-style (as Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream, the 1990 re-release of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, appeared in the original Animal Crossing as an obtainable NES game).
• Forward Tilt - Doing a backhand swipe with an umbrella.
• Up tilt - Doing a short vertical swipe with a tree branch.
• Down Tilt - Pulling out a weed from the ground in front of him.
• Forward Smash - Leaning forwards and dropping a bowling ball. The ball falls a reasonable distance when used over an edge.
• Up Smash - Shooting a fountain firework upwards, similar to Snake's up smash in Brawl.
• Down Smash - Using a shovel to dig two holes on either side, burying opponents.
• Dash Attack - Losing balance while running with a potted sapling; the pot does damage as it falls to the ground.
• Performing a cartwheel in midair, similar to Diddy Kong's neutral aerial.
• Forward Air - Firing a pellet forwards with a slingshot.
• Back Air - Firing a short-range pellet backwards with a slingshot.
• Up Air - Attacks with turnips upward (not to be confused with Vegetable). The number of turnips change each time used.
• Down Air - Swings a turnip downwards. The number of turnips change each time used.
• Trapping opponents in a net, which is stated to act as a grab.

Special Moves

In Super Smash Bros. 4, special moves can be swapped out for different variants, but the Villager's have yet to be seen. These are the Villager's special moves:

• Neutral special move: Pocket, A move where Villager catches various ranged attacks, stowing them away; using the move again uses the stored attack, acting as a delayed reflector. They can also pocket items.
• Side special move: Lloid Rocket, a move with involves launching the Gyroid Lloid sideways. The Villager can choose to ride on him, which increases its damage.
• Up special move: Balloon Trip, a move where Villager uses two balloons, both of a set color, to fly Balloon Fight-style (as Balloon Fight appeared in the original Animal Crossing as an obtainable NES game). The Villager's helpless animation after they are popped is the same as the Balloon Fighter's losing animation in Balloon Fight.
• Down special move: Timber, a move where Villager plants, waters, and chops down a tree, which hits opponents as it falls, even bouncing off near edges to lower areas. However, the tree can be destroyed by other characters, and is a fairly slow move to use altogether - using the move once only advances through one of the four stages (plant, water, first chop, second chop), so having it actually deal damage takes four total usages in the same location.
• Final Smash: Dream Home ("Housewarming Party" in Europe), in which Tom, Timmy, and Tommy Nook trap any opponents in front of Villager and start building a house around them and then finish the house, only for it to explode, blowing away Tom and the Nooklings and knocking the Villager down while the enemies inside the house take a lot of damage and knockback.

Trivia

• The Villager was considered as a character in the planning stages of Brawl, but dropped because "he wasn't suited for battle".
• The Villager was the first newcomer announced for Super Smash Bros. 4.
• The initial reveal for the Villager quickly became an internet phenomenon; due to his constant smile and variety of weapons associated with stereotypical serial killers, such as a shovel and axe, many smashers and outside observers claimed that the Villager was actually a dangerous psychopath. The Wii Fit Trainer was also given this treatment, though this was much less widespread than the Villager's.
• The Villager is the only character that has an alternate costume that changes its gender, but does not change its voice.
  • This is mainly because the Villager doesn't have a voice.
• The Villager is the only newcomer to be on both the Wii U and 3DS covers.
