Bayonetta was unanimously considered to be the best character in ''SSB4'' due to her many extreme advantages, including her ability to KO opponents at virtually any percentage with successful [[ladder combo]]s, the best disadvantage-breaking move in the game with [[Witch Time]], great KO potential outside of her ladder combos thanks to Witch Time and her smash attacks, and an excellent recovery. Even after having received significant [[nerf]]s in game updates, her advantages remained intact, causing players to label her as "[[broken]]", and many matches involving her became controversial. This included the ''Ultimate'' tournament [[Super Smash Bros. Invitational 2018]], where top professional player {{Sm|MkLeo}} pulled off | Bayonetta was unanimously considered to be the best character in ''SSB4'' due to her many extreme advantages, including her ability to KO opponents at virtually any percentage with successful [[ladder combo]]s, the best disadvantage-breaking move in the game with [[Witch Time]], great KO potential outside of her ladder combos thanks to Witch Time and her smash attacks, and an excellent recovery. Even after having received significant [[nerf]]s in game updates, her advantages remained intact, causing players to label her as "[[broken]]", and many matches involving her became controversial. This included the ''Ultimate'' tournament [[Super Smash Bros. Invitational 2018]], where top professional player {{Sm|MkLeo}} pulled off 2 ladder KOs in front of [[Masahiro Sakurai]] using Bayonetta. Due to these factors, Bayonetta was initially nerfed drastically in her transition to ''Ultimate'', though game updates have provided her with substantial buffs to compensate, and the shifts to the metagame have proven benefitial for her to some degree. Despite this, Bayonetta has still been noticeably nerfed overall from her ''SSB4'' iteration. | ||
Bayonetta's already poor frame data, her major weakness in ''SSB4'', has been worsened further from the previous game. Her most reliable combo starters have been weakened, with her up tilt, down tilt, and forward aerial all having more ending lag; the latter was affected the most significantly, with the first hit no longer allowing for any follow-ups other than the second and third hits of the move. [[Witch Twist]] has more startup and grants less distance, reducing its effectiveness as a combo starter, [[out of shield]] option, follow-up from other moves, and recovery option. Adding to this, all of Bayonetta's special moves have received nerfs that make them more risky and punishable: [[Bullet Climax]]'s charge takes longer to cancel and can no longer be held indefinitely, [[Heel Slide]] and [[After Burner Kick]]'s followup hits can no longer be used if they hit a shield, Witch Twist is slower and can no longer grab ledges, and Witch Time slows down opponents for much shorter amounts of time except at very high percentages, alongside having noticeably more startup and ending lag; the lattermost move's changes, in particular, have made Witch Time go from the uncontested best counter in ''SSB4'' to being much more in-line with the rest of the cast in ''Ultimate''. | Bayonetta's already poor frame data, her major weakness in ''SSB4'', has been worsened further from the previous game.
