“	This duo excels at long-range attacks, like kicking exploding cans and throwing clay pigeons. For their Final Smash, three games from the Light Gun Series team up: Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, and Wild Gunman!	”

Duck Hunt (ダックハント, Duckhunt), known in PAL regions as Duck Hunt Duo, are playable characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. They were confirmed as playable characters on June 12, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

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

As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Duck Hunt's models feature more subdued color schemes. Unlike most other characters who have received more simple detailing, the dog and duck feature fur and feather detailing, respectively.

Attributes

Like all characters, Duck Hunt’s jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Ground Attacks

Duck Hunt's jab combo seems to be faster.
Up tilt appears to become active slightly faster.

Special Moves

Trick Shot appears to be slower and floatier, but does start farther forward.
Duck Jump can now be acted out of, meaning that air dodges are now possible to use after using Duck Hunt's up special.
