Editing Brawl-/Character changes

{{ArticleIcons|ssbb=y}}
{{Incomplete|Missing 'official' names for several new attacks/techniques/abilities; see http://BrawlMinus.net/characters for lists of the names (e.g. Pichu's special moves, which have already been added here) as well as the functionality of Secret Power.}}
{{Out of date|Tested with version 4.2 and heavily updated.}}

=={{SSBB|Bowser}}==
===Attributes===
*{{buff|His up aerial, dash, and crouching animation have 10% armor.  He will tank attacks that deal less than 10% damage during these instances and be unflinchable.}}
*{{change|Has a flame effect added to his forward smash, forward aerial (when sweetspotted), up aerial, forward throw, and pummel.}}
===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Dash attack has armor until frame 28 and propels Bowser farther, giving it more reach.}}
*{{change|Down tilt is now two separate inputs. The first hit is significantly weaker, but leaves Bowser less vulnerable if it misses. The first hit also has a chance of tripping the opponent.}}
*{{buff|Up tilt modified to hit in front of Bowser.}}
*{{buff|Vacuum effect added to the charging of his forward smash.}}
*{{buff|Armor on his forward smash on frames 12 to 41 (including charge), with forward and backward dodge cancels, simulating [[Focus Attack]].}}
*{{buff|Fully charged forward smash ignores shields.}}
*{{buff|Up smash has an earthquake hitbox at the end, similarly to King Dedede's side smash.}}
===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Grabs now have invincibility on startup. Pressing the special move button within the first few frames of a grab cancels it into a pivot grab.}}
===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Aerials all have less landing lag, and neutral aerial has its landing lag completely removed.}}
===Special moves===
*{{change|[[Fire Breath]] removed, now replaced with Royal Rampage on the ground and Galactic Crusher in the air.}}
**{{buff|''Royal Rampage'': Bowser performs a running bear grab. Bowser will gain [[armor]] from frames (6→64) and walk forward until he either grabs an opponent or after 3 stomps. Grabbing the opponent results in an alternate grab state with alternate throws.}}
***{{buff|Forward throw: Bowser spins around and then throws the foe forward.}}
***{{buff|Back throw: Bowser grinds the opponent on the ground with his shell. A powerful horizontal finisher.}}
***{{buff|Up throw: Bowser jumps into the air and performs a piledriver. Useful for KOs.}}
***{{buff|Down throw: Bowser slams the opponent on the ground. The opponent can [[tech]] the move like with {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s down throw.}}
**{{buff|''Galactic Crusher'': When Neutral B is used in the air, Bowser spins around in the air and gains armor. If a foe is in range, they will be grabbed and piledriven into the ground, resulting in a powerful explosion and massive knockback.}}
*{{buff|[[Flying Slam]] is quicker and buries foes.}}
*{{buff|[[Whirling Fortress]] gains significantly increased vertical height when used for recovery. On the ground, Whirling Fortress is a multi-hitting attack after the initial hitbox.}}
*{{buff|''Bowser Boost'': [[Bowser Bomb]]'s grounded startup can be canceled into a jump or an aerial.}}

=={{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}==
===Attributes===
*{{buff|Air speed now carries momentum from his dash ala ''Melee''.}}
*{{change|All of his attacks involving his knee ([[Gentleman]], [[Knee Smash]], and pummel) have [[Electric|electrical]] effects, increased hitlag, and play the "Yes!" SFX (when hit cleanly in the case of the Gentleman and Knee Smash).}}
===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|The Gentleman has much greater knockback. The rapid jabs after the Gentleman are performed by hitting the grab button instead of the attack button for the third jab hit.}}
*{{buff|Up tilt can now meteor smash at his heel.}}
*{{buff|Captain Falcon slides further when Forward Smash is used, giving it more reach.}}
*{{buff|Up smash has greater range and no longer has [[Smash directional influence|SDI]].}}
*{{buff|First kick of down smash produces higher trajectory knockback, while the second kick produces lower trajectory knockback, being a [[semi-spike]].}}
===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|A clean Knee Smash is stronger and can be done on any part of its initial hitbox.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial always meteor smashes.}}
*{{buff|All aerials have their landing lag halved, essentially granting Captain Falcon automatically L-canceled aerials.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|All grabs are faster and have longer reach.}}
**{{change|A successful grab is accompanied by his "Come on!" SFX.}}
*{{change|Captain Falcon now will now say his "Yes!" for every successful pummel.}} 
*{{buff|Forward throw is much stronger, being able to reliably KO under 150%.}}
*{{buff|Back throw is now a meteor smash.}}
===Special moves===
*{{buff|[[Falcon Punch]] hits foes up to four times with massive knockback on the final hit, gives Captain Falcon forward momentum, and can instantly break shields if not [[perfect shield]]ed.}}
**{{buff|Additionally, the move can be charged up on the ground and stored by holding the special button for a few seconds. If the button is let go too soon or mashed, he will be stunned briefly. The stored punch can be unleashed at will, and though it’s not as strong as a full 4-hit punch, it’s much quicker.}}
**{{change|Falcon Punch has drastically increased hitlag.}}
*{{buff|[[Falcon Dive]]'s grab is much stronger if it lands, and hitboxes have been added to end of the animation when he flips if Captain Falcon fails to grab an opponent.}}
**{{nerf|If the grab lands, the animation is stalled out significantly longer while Captain Falcon says "Show me your moves!", giving an opponent more time to DI or tech the explosion should he or she be near a wall.}}
*{{buff|[[Raptor Boost]] no longer makes Captain Falcon [[helpless]], and it covers more ground, making it effective for recovery. Grounded Raptor Boost ends with the uppercut animation instead of the falling down animation, even when it misses, making it more difficult to punish a whiffed Raptor Boost. An airborne Raptor Boost can be cancelled near a wall into a wall jump.}}
*{{buff|[[Falcon Kick]] is a multi-hitting attack, and restores his midair jump when used in the air. Grounded Falcon Kick also travels further, and is jump cancelable near the end of the move for follow up combos.}}

===Taunts===
*{{change|His side taunt has a vacuum effect, covering a huge area in front of him.}}
*{{buff|The salute on his down taunt can damage for 1%.}}
*{{change|He now quietly says “yes” during his up taunt.}}

=={{SSBB|Charizard}}==
===Attributes===
*{{buff|''Flying Type'': Has two additional [[midair jump]]s.}}
*{{buff|[[Glide]] attack has a fire effect, and is much stronger (dealing 10% more damage and 20 shield damage) with additional graphics.}}
*{{change|Type effectiveness has been removed.}}
*{{nerf|Its gliding mechanics have been adjusted.  It can no longer go up during his glide.  It glides exclusively between 270 and 360 degrees. Flying straight down builds speed.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|All three hits of jab combo have less ending lag and third hit damage has been increased (6% → 9%).}}
*{{buff|[[Dash attack]] propels Charizard farther, deals more damage (11% (clean)/9% (late) → 17%/13%), and shield damage (1 → 15).}}
*{{buff|All tilts deal more damage, which also improves their kill potential}}
*{{buff|Down smash has significantly more range (being moderately disjointed), more damage (16% → 18%) and knockback (46 (base)/75 (scaling) → 46/83), and has 18 less frames of end lag.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|All aerials have less landing lag}}
*{{buff|''Fire Spin'': Neutral aerial has additional [[flame]] effects, sweetspot is enlarged, damage and knockback is greater, and speed is increased.}}
*{{buff|''Heat Wave'': Forward aerial now only consists of the first hit. This first hit has significantly more damage (4%/3% → 11%/10%), and more range.}}
*{{buff|Back and up aerials are more powerful. Back aerial also now only has the second hit, increasing its reliability.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial deals more shield damage (0 → 16), now meteors grounded opponents, and can now be buffered into a down smash by executing the move just before landing.}}

===Grabs and Throws===
*{{buff|Forward and back throws deal more damage (10% → 12%) and are interruptible sooner (59 (forward)/33 (back) → 43/26).}}
*{{change|Up throw deals less knockback, now not being able to reliably kill until beyond 250%. However, the changes to hitstun as well as [[Fly]] make it a more reliable combo starter.}}
*{{buff|Down throw produces an explosion at the end, along with more knockback and damage.}}

===Special moves===
*{{buff|Neutral special changed to Blast Burn, which launches a powerful fireball instead of a light flame. Stalls Charizard's vertical momentum the first two times used in the air.}}
*{{buff|[[Rock Smash]] is now Stealth Rock, which is moved to down special. It functions similarly to its original move, but the remaining shards stay out, making it a useful edgeguarding and neutral tool. Additionally, it can be B-Reversed and now interruptible during start-up lag by performing a [[shield]] or a grab.}}
*{{buff|Side special changed to Dragon Rush, which hurls Charizard forward, creating a whirlwind effect around it. Can be used multiple times in the air. Can drag opponents offstage, similarly to the [[Wall of pain]].}}
*{{buff|When used on the ground, [[Fly]] is a single hit, and can be canceled into any other move in the air before ending, allowing for combos.}}
*{{change|Final Smash changed to Blast Burn Blitz, which causes Charizard to use a non-angled Blast Burn ten times.}}

=={{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}==
===Ground attacks===
*{{change|Knockback on forward and down tilts are now set, and are extremely weak.}}
*{{buff|Dash attack transitions into a neutral aerial immediately upon going off the ledge.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash can be interrupted into a shield between the first and second hits.  Links with a grab on hit.}}
*{{buff|Up smash can be jump canceled 5 frames after the final hit.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Holding B while performing an aerial move will make Diddy pull out a throwable peanut.}}

===Special moves===
*{{buff|The explosion from when the [[Peanut Popgun]] is charged too long now produces a very powerful damaging hitbox of near-[[OHKO]] power, while also slightly damaging Diddy.}}
*{{buff|[[Monkey Flip]] given armor.}}
*{{buff|Monkey Flip grab reworked:}}
**{{buff|Pressing the jump button makes Diddy push himself forward, knocking the opponent backwards.}}
**{{buff|Pressing A or B makes Diddy smack the opponent and propel both of them upwards.}}
*{{buff|Jetpack can be fired by holding the shield button when charging [[Rocketbarrel Boost]] and only explodes in contact with a wall or after 90 frames. Diddy cannot use [[Rocketbarrel Boost]] again until the move ends.}}
*{{buff|Rocketbarrel Boost is attack cancellable, doesn't render Diddy Kong [[helpless]], and cancels into Monkey Flip. Diddy can use his double jump after his up special.}}
*{{buff|''Banana Hoard'': Can pull an additional Banana Peel when two are on the ground already. Doing so causes him to perform his up taunt, and obtaining another banana. He also pulls the first two bananas much faster. Cannot pull additional banana peels while in the air.}}

===Taunts===
*{{change|Has two side taunts. A light D-Pad press makes Diddy do a quick, silent laugh, while a harder press performs his original side taunt.}}
*{{change|When using down taunt, confetti will appear and the audience will cheer.}}

=={{SSBB|Donkey Kong}}==
===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Dash attack sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash produces a wind effect.}}
*{{buff|Donkey Kong slides much farther when doing a running up smash.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Neutral aerial has a sourspot that hits opponents towards Donkey Kong, allowing for more followups.}}
*{{buff|''Jungle Climber'': Forward aerial now buries foes on the ground if the attack is sweetspotted and also sends Donkey Kong up a small amount.}}

===Throws/other attacks===
*{{buff|''Barrel Blast'': DK now moves around much further when throwing [[Barrel]]s in the air.}}

===Special moves===
*{{buff|[[Giant Punch]] charges twice as fast when Donkey Kong is on the ground, and it no longer leaves him helpless if used when airborne. Holding the special button when unleashing a fully charged punch sends him forward giving the move more reach.}}
*{{buff|[[Headbutt]]'s startup is cancelable into anything, which can be used to halt his aerial momentum.}}
*{{buff|[[Spinning Kong]] gives Donkey Kong significantly more vertical distance.}}
*{{buff|''Barrel Pull'': [[Hand Slap]] pulls out a [[Barrel]] if the special move button is held. The Barrels will disappear quickly and no longer explode. The move is also faster and has significantly larger hitboxes.}}
*{{change|''What Barrel?!'': Performing Hand Slap/Barrel Pull in the air has DK do his down taunt animation in the air. It can also be interrupted at any time by any attack.}}

=={{SSBB|Falco}}==
===Aesthetics===
*{{change|New Star KO scream: Falco now says "You aren’t worth the trouble!" which is also a voice clip from one of his victory poses.}}
*{{change|Name stylized as Falco Lombardi.}}

===Attributes===
*{{buff|''Like an Eagle'': The height of his midair jump has been decreased, however Falco now has three midair jumps.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Up tilt is jump cancelable within the final frames.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash produces a damaging wind hitbox.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Falco spins much faster when he uses his forward aerial, having much less hitlag. Forward aerial also now links into itself more fluidly and contains a powerful hitbox on the final hit.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial always meteor smashes when landed.}}

===Special moves===
*{{buff|[[Falco Phantasm]] does not cause helplessness, though Falco falls a noticeable distance after aerial use before he can jump or use another attack. The ground version can be jump canceled at the end, while the air version can be interrupted into a wall jump if possible.}}
*{{buff|[[Fire Bird]] travels much farther with much greater momentum, now showing off blue flames.}}
**{{buff|Falco also conserves the momentum for a short period of time after the fire.}}
*{{buff|''Retractor'': [[Reflector]] has additional graphics, and now draws foes towards Falco when the reflector is pulled back towards him. It is cancellable into non-special moves on hit.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|Falco can switch between fast and slow laser speeds using up taunt.}}

=={{SSBB|Fox}}==
===Aesthetics===
*{{change|Name stylized as Fox McCloud.}}

===Attributes===
*{{buff|''Melee Dodge'': If a direction is held on the [[control stick]]/[[C-Stick]]/[[directional pad|D-Pad]] while [[Air dodge|air dodging]], the air dodge physics become like those in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|''Melee'']]. His ''Brawl'' air dodge is performed by air dodging with the control stick neutral.}}
*{{buff|''[[Wavedash]]'': As in ''Melee'', air dodging diagonally into the ground allows Fox to retain his momentum, improving mobility and combo ability.}}
*{{change|Can slide off ledges by crouching while walking or dashing.}}
*{{buff|Dash speed, walking speed, falling speed, and air speed increased.}}
*{{change|Traction significantly reduced, allowing for a longer wavedash at the cost of the normal effects of higher traction.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{change|Multi hit attack on jab removed. Rapidly tapping A will cause Fox to repeat his first two jabs.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Landing lag on all aerials matched to the L-cancel landing lag from ''Super Smash Brothers: Melee''.}}
*{{buff|Back aerial has a much stronger hitbox on his foot, being able to reliably KO under 150%.}}
*{{change|"Come on!" SFX added to a landed up aerial.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Up throw can be canceled into a jump on frame 30.}}
*{{buff|Down throw meteor smashes opponents onto the ground, allowing Fox to set up [[Tech-chasing|Tech-chases]].}}

===Special attacks===
*{{buff|[[Blaster]] has less start-up, has more range (twice that of ''Melee''), and can be canceled into a jump or any normal attack.}}
*{{buff|[[Fox Illusion]] can be canceled into a jump or any attack other than Fox Illusion or Blaster.}}
**{{buff|''Slow Illusion'': Holding the shield button causes the movement to become slower and multi hit, also becoming shield cancellable. Links with a grab if done this way.}}
*{{change|[[Fire Fox]] now hits at the autolink angle and has darker flame graphics.}}
**{{buff|If driven into a wall, Fire Fox can be cancelled into a wall jump if timed properly. Fox will also retain his midair jump if not already used.}}
*{{buff|Grounded [[Reflector]] startup lag removed, and can be jump cancelled. Reflector can be jump-canceled earlier than in ''Melee'' (3 frames → 1 frame), no longer knocks lightweight foes down, and deals more knockback.}}
*{{buff|[[Reflector]] now [[lock]]s fallen opponents and has its ''Melee'' SFX.}}

===Taunts===
*{{change|''Fire Taunt'': Pressing B after he says "Here I come!" in his up taunt will execute [[Fire Fox]].}}

=={{SSBB|Ganondorf}}==
===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Neutral attack and up smash have drastically faster start-up and ending lag.}}
*{{buff|''Dark Quake'': Up tilt has less start-up, damaging hitboxes dealing 1% per tick on the vacuum, and now produces a near-full screen earthquake hitbox dealing 20% damage.}}
*{{change|The earthquake hitbox of up tilt produces a darkness effect rather than a flame effect.}}
*{{buff|Dash attack has [[armor]]. Additionally, holding A during the dash will cause Ganondorf to perform a low knockback [[Gerudo Dragon]], creating follow-ups at the cost of the armor.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash produces a large, darkness explosion, drastically increasing the size of its hitbox. It has an additional, weak hitbox added before the primary hitbox, and the primary hitbox now produces vertical knockback, like Ganondorf's forward smash did in ''Melee''.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Neutral aerial goes from first kick to second kick extremely quickly, and the first kick has less knockback, making combining easier..}}
*{{buff|Forward aerial is faster and produces a darkness effect..}}
*{{change|Back aerial produces an electric effect.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial is much stronger.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|All grabs have more reach.}}
*{{buff|Pummel deals 6% damage.}}
*{{buff|Up throw does multiple hits.}}
*{{change|Pummel and all throws produce a darkness effect.}}

===Special moves===
*{{buff|''Satan Punch''/''Negative Warlock Punch'': [[Warlock Punch]] is drastically more powerful, now dealing 666% damage (a reference to [[wikipedia:666_(number)|the number of the beast]]) and is essentially guaranteed to [[OHKO]] (dealing upwards of 80000 mph worth of [[knockback]]). Ignores shields. An aerial Warlock Punch is interruptible if it hits.}}
**{{buff|''Gandouken'': Holding the special move button while using Warlock Punch fires a ranged wave of fire that travels slowly, hits multiple times, and can be shielded.}}
*{{buff|[[Flame Choke]] covers much more distance at a faster speed when used on the ground, and no longer makes Ganondorf helpless if he goes offstage using it or when he uses it in the air. The grounded version has less ending lag when landed. The airborne version has much more forward momentum when landed as well as burying opponents upon landing on the ground.}}
**{{buff|''Devil's Fine Print'': Pressing A during the grab of the air version executes an explosive throw akin to Dark Dive with vertical knockback, instead of causing both Ganondorf and the grabbed opponent to plummet downward. It is also worth mentioning that if canceled 1 frame before hitting the blast zone, Ganondorf will not die, but the opponent will.}}
*{{buff|''Ganryuken'': [[Dark Dive]] throw is drastically stronger and spikes opponents, making it extremely risky to edge-guard. Uppercut hitbox at the end of Dark Dive has also undergone a drastic increase in power and hitlag, dealing 26% damage and being capable of KOing under 60%.}}
*{{change|Laughing SFX added to when Ganondorf releases the opponent after a successful Dark Dive or aerial Flame Choke's explosive throw.}}
*{{change|Dark Dive's throw now produces a darkness effect rather than a flame effect, and the uppercut shows claw effects.}}
*{{buff|Airborne [[Wizard's Foot]] always spikes, buries grounded opponents, and restores Ganondorf's midair jump. Grounded Wizard's Foot is drastically stronger, KOing under 100%, and travels at a faster rate. It also has brief invincibility on frame 6, excluding Ganondorf's arm and shoulder.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|During his down taunt (when he pulls out his sword), Ganondorf is invincible.}}

=={{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}==
===Attributes===
*{{buff|Easier to [[Desynching|Desync]].}}
*{{buff|''Fail-Safe Nana'': The partner can no longer SD and must be in hitstun to be truly KOed. If they fail a recovery and touch the blast line while [[helpless]], a KO explosion will not happen.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{change|Both Climbers can now meteor smash with their forward aerial.}}
*{{buff|''Icicle Drop'': Down aerial now attacks with icicles that freeze foes on-contact, with stronger, horizontal knockback. The Climbers now have horizontal control when using the move, while also falling at a slower speed when using it.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{nerf|''Ice-Grip Nana'': Infinite [[chain throw]]s are no longer possible, as the partner cannot grab (they will freeze upon release instead).}}

===Special moves===
*{{buff|[[Ice Shot]] increases in size over time when traversing the ground instead of decreasing.}}
*{{buff|[[Squall Hammer]] can cancel into any grab input. In the air, the leader can cancel Squall Hammer into an aerial, but the partner cannot.}}
*{{buff|[[Belay]] now has hitboxes on both Climbers for the entirety of the non-helpless portion. When a solo climber uses the move, Belay gives much more horizontal and vertical distance when recovering.}}
**{{buff|''To-Tether Forever'': As long as the partner Climber has not been KO'd, using Belay or Squall Hammer will bring them back.}}
*{{buff|''Slippery Blizzard'': It is now possible to glide along the ground while using [[Blizzard]].}}
**{{nerf|Blizzard no longer freezes.}}
**{{buff|Nana’s Blizzard can be canceled into another attack.}}

=={{SSBB|Ike}}==

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Sourspot removed from forward smash.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Neutral aerial has significantly less aerial ending lag, no longer resulting in accidental SDs when Ike is pushed off stage when trying to jab or shield.}}
*{{buff|''Ike Copter'': Up aerial propels Ike upwards slightly when the attack button is held.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Pummel speed has been drastically increased.}}
*{{buff|Knockback on up throw has been drastically increased, becoming capable of KOing under 150%.}}

===Special moves===
*{{buff|The charging of [[Eruption]] can be cancelled by shielding or air dodging, and doing so will store a fully charged eruption. It can additionally be charged indefinitely, but Ike will slowly take damage if he holds it for too long.}}
**{{change|Ike’s Eruption now emits blue flames.}}
**{{buff|Fully charged Eruption extends far beyond the top blast zone if a [[Beam Sword]] is in hand.}}
*{{buff|[[Quick Draw]] can be canceled by any input (including another Quick Draw), no longer makes Ike helpless, and can be used multiple times while airborne without landing.}}
**{{change|Grounded Quick Draw can go off of ledges.}}
*{{buff|[[Aether]] has radically more knockback growth, and the final hit will heal Ike by 4% if landed.}}

===Taunts===
*{{change|"I fight for my friends!" plays for his side taunt. “Prepare yourself!” now plays when [[Eruption]] is fully charged.}}

=={{SSBB|Ivysaur}}==
===Attributes===
*{{buff|Stamina has been removed.}}
*{{buff|Type effectiveness has been removed, granting increased survivability against fire based moves.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Up tilt has gained hitboxes on its sides. They function like the ones on Marth's up smash to help this move link better.}}
*{{buff|Down smash has much more knockback.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Up and down aerials have additional hitboxes added that cause varying effects. Up aerial sweetspots causes a flower effect, and down aerial sweetspots puts opponents to [[sleep]]. Based on Poison Powder and Sleep Powder respectively.}}
*{{buff|Back aerial does almost three times the damage, dealing 11% when both hits connect instead of 4%.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Forward, back, and up throw are all drastically stronger, KOing well under 150%.}}

===Special attacks===
*{{buff|''Ivycopter'': This causes it to behave like a helicopter when used in the air, slightly pushing Ivysaur upward if the B button is held, and allowing it to move from side to side at will, greatly aiding its recovery. However, the helicopter effect only occurs once per being airborne, and Ivysaur must land after using Bullet Seed for the helicopter effect to take effect again while airborne. If used on the ground, Ivysaur can still move left and right, but does not float up. Aerial version cancels into up special and air dodge.}}
*{{buff|''Critical Hit'': [[Razor Leaf]] deals twice as much damage. At the very end of a leaf's lifespan, it becomes a critical Razor Leaf that instead deals four times as much damage, with high knockback and hitlag.}}
*{{buff|[[Vine Whip]] sends Ivysaur upwards if used after a jump, does not make it helpless, and can be used multiple times while airborne.}}
*{{change|Down special changed to Giga Drain, which acts as a grab that heals Ivysaur while damaging opponents.}}
*{{change|Final Smash changed to Solar Beam, which has a wide frontal range and can KO opponents effectively.}}

=={{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}==
===Attributes===
*{{buff|[[Air speed]] increased.}}
*{{buff|''Self-Destruct'': The size of Jigglypuff's shield has been greatly increased, being more than twice its original size. Upon its shield being broken, a massive explosion will accompany the [[shield jump]], which will hit opponents right next to the explosion for 100% with extreme horizontal knockback, [[OHKO]]ing any opponent caught directly in the explosion. Opponents a little further away will be hit for only 25% with dramatically less knockback. It will also put Jigglypuff into a [[Star KO]] every time.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Down tilt slides Jigglypuff forward a decent amount.}}
*{{buff|Up smash has significantly less cooldown.}}
*{{buff|Side smash travels farther.}}
*{{buff|Down smash now drags nearby opponents in and traps them until the attack is released, sliding them across the stage or off of it.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Back aerial now has a static hitbox with range similar to ''Melee''.}}
*{{buff|The last hit of down aerial has a chance to trip grounded opponents.}}
*{{buff|Up aerial now links into itself, even leading to an early [[Rest]] if performed correctly.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Back throw now sends opponents on a [[semi-spike]] trajectory, while the down throw is now a [[meteor smash]].}}
*{{buff|Up throw now sends opponents with less knockback and knockback growth, allowing more more follow-ups, even at higher percents.}}

===Special attacks===
*{{buff|The range of [[Sing]] has been greatly increased}}
*{{buff|[[Rollout]] can be interrupted by anything if it hits, including a true combo into Rest if timed properly.  Also cancels into anything while it is turning around. Is able to be jump cancelled after it is launched in midair.}}
*{{buff|[[Pound]] produces a spark at the end, which upon contact damages the opponent with an [[Electric|electrical]] effect with dramatic hitlag, while sending them on a [[semi-spike]] trajectory.}}
*{{buff|[[Rest]] is much stronger and recovers damage at a moderate rate while Jigglypuff is asleep (10% when [[Rest]] connects, 15% during the sleeping portion if not interrupted.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|Side taunt allows Jigglypuff to move while it is spinning, and if completed without interruption, it will use Secret Power, in which Jigglypuff gains a powerful explosive hitbox on its arm that deals 28% damage.}}
*{{buff|Down taunt produces a windbox that blows foes away from it.}}

=={{SSBB|King Dedede}}==
===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Dash attack propels Dedede forward much farther, enough to traverse an entire stage, while having the hitbox throughout.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash creates a much larger earthquake hitbox that can reach to platforms Dedede isn't on, and trips opponents instead of knocking them upward.}}
*{{buff|Down smash slides Dedede forward a far distance when used.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Back aerial, when sweetspotted, sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}
*{{buff|Up and down aerials spin much faster.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|[[Pivot grab]] has invincibility frames added.}}
*{{change|Down throw knocks all opponents down, no longer being able to [[chain throw]]. However, it can be interrupted by a tilt after the damaging animation.}}

===Special attacks===
*{{buff|Dedede's neutral special is now the "DDDecree", which allows him to command his Waddle Dees and Waddle Doos directly by using the Control Stick while holding B to make them jump, turn, or trip, or releasing B to make the Waddle Dees do a flip kick and the Waddle Doos use their beam.}}
**{{buff|Consequently, Waddle Doos will never use their beam randomly, and Waddle Dees no longer lunge forward.}}
*{{buff|For [[Waddle Dee Toss]], Dedede can also throw minions vertically in the air. He can do a tilt throw that covers barely any distance, or a smash throw that can traverse the entire stage. Up to four minions can be on the stage at once per Dedede. Gordos will also not hit the minions, leaving only his opponents vulnerable.}}
*{{buff|Waddle Dees can be launched at opponents when they are hit by Dedede.}}
*{{buff|Dedede will not pick up and throw nearby minions, allowing him to attack freely.}}
*{{change|{{b|Inhale|King Dedede}} has been remapped to be his down special, removing [[Jet Hammer]] in the process.}}

=={{SSBB|Kirby}}==
===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Jab can be interrupted at any time. Jab one and two have better range.}}
*{{buff|Kirby now has two down tilts. Pressing down the button results in the normal tilt, while tapping it produces a sliding kick that propels Kirby backwards into the air on hit, akin to his normal sliding kick in the ''Kirby'' games.}}
*{{buff|Kirby also has two dash attacks. Tapping the button produces the normal attack, while pressing it down results in Kirby shooting forward like a ball of fire (the Burning power in the ''Kirby'' games, which was also his dash attack in ''Melee''). This alt dash attack sends him far, but doesn't send him offstage.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash covers more distance, giving it more reach.}}
*{{buff|Kirby can now slide left or right during his down smash if the analog stick is tilted in the respective direction.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Kirby spins faster when he uses his neutral aerial, and it has much less ending lag. It also does more than twice as much damage with the late hit than it did before. (6% -> 15%)}}
*{{buff|Forward aerial can be interrupted by another aerial attack after the second hit, even another forward air.}}
*{{buff|Kirby spins his feet faster when he uses his down aerial.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Pummel speed is slightly faster, while dealing more damage.}}
*{{buff|Up and down throw have stronger knockback, with the former being able to reliably KO under 150%.}}

**{{buff|[[Chef]] cannot cause self-damage.}}
**{{buff|[[Pikmin Pluck]] tosses Pikmin at a much faster rate.}}
**{{buff|[[Needle Storm]] charges slightly faster and is charged by pressing the B button instead of holding it, but its needles cannot explode.}}
**{{buff|Pulls out [[Motion-Sensor Bomb]]s with [[Hand Grenade]] at a faster rate.}}
**{{nerf|[[Ice Shot]]s shrink on distance instead of growing.}}
**{{nerf|Kirby cannot store [[Eruption]]'s charge; he executes it shortly after full charge.}}
**{{nerf|Cannot use Captain Falcon's power up taunt to charge a [[Falcon Punch]].}}
**{{nerf|Cannot perform a Bouncing Attack after copying [[Homing Attack]] nor follow up Homing Attack shield hits with more Homing Attacks.}}
**{{change|Copies [[Fire Breath]] and {{b|Inhale|King Dedede}} instead of Royal Rampage/Galactic Crusher and DDDcree. Dedede's Inhale's changes still apply to Kirby upon copying.}}
**{{change|Both [[Hero's Bow]]s, [[PK Flash]], [[PK Freeze]], Falco's [[Blaster]], [[Chomp]], and [[Palutena's Arrow]] function like their regular ''Brawl'' counterparts.}}
**{{change|[[Thunder Jolt]] does not launch opponents upwards.}}
**{{change|[[Charge Shot]] lacks the paralyzer effect on non-fully-charged shots.}}
**{{change|[[Robo Beam]] always has a first level charge at minimum.}}
**{{change|Uncharged [[Shield Breaker]] pushes Kirby backwards.}}
*{{buff|Grounded [[Hammer (move)|Hammer]] is stronger, and hits with more hitlag. It can now be charged for a stronger attack by briefly holding down the button. Upon full charge, Hammer will deal fire damage.}}
*{{buff|The first hit of Air Hammer can be cancelled into itself repeatedly by holding B.}}
*{{buff|[[Final Cutter]] can move slightly farther horizontally. When on the ground, holding down on the control stick right before the jumping part of the move skips to the projectile-shooting part. It is also possible to cancel out of the move before the projectile-shooting part.}}
*{{change|[[Stone]] falls nearly immediately after being used.}}

=={{SSBB|Link}}==
===Aesthetics===
*{{change|Link now has six alternate costumes based on his Postman Link costume from Hyrule Warriors}}
===Attributes===
*{{buff|Link's jumpsquat has been sped up (7 → 4).}}
*{{buff|When rolling forward, if Link holds B, he can attack out of his roll.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|All smashes are slightly stronger and faster.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|All aerials have less landing lag, especially his down aerial.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Pummel is stronger.}}
*{{buff|Up and back throws are noticeably stronger, with the latter sending opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}
*{{buff|Forward throw has a different angle, more knockback, and less ending lag, making it a proper ground to air combo starter.}}
*{{buff|Link's aerial Clawshot has less landing lag, letting it link into itself more.}}

===Special attacks===
*{{buff|[[Hero's Bow]] is slightly stronger, and now shoots normal or bomb arrows, the latter of which is fired by holding down A. Normal arrows produce horizontal knockback, while fire arrows produce the same damage but with a fire effect and strong vertical knockback instead.}}
*{{buff|When not smash thrown, [[Gale Boomerang]] covers less distance. When smash thrown, it travels twice as fast and far. It now produces damaging hitboxes during the apex of the throw and upon return, that flinch as well. The Gale Boomerang will also follow where Link goes upon return much more directly.}}
*{{buff|[[Spin Attack]] gains significantly more vertical and horizontal distance when used for recovering, greatly increasing its recovery capabilities. The initial grounded strike and final airborne strike are also much stronger with noticeable hitlag. The SFX for Link’s up-smash plays instead when the move is used in the air. Grounded Spin Attack has also gained Great Spin property (charging it considerably increases range) and will break shield on max charge.}}
*{{buff|[[Bomb]]s can be thrown faster and further, while having much more knockback, giving them KOing capability. They also do not hit Link if an opponent is hit first. Link will start blinking after a period of time and will pull a [[Deku Nut]] when he attempts to a pull a bomb. Link also throws normal [[items]] faster, further, and stronger.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|If one holds A during Link's Up Taunt, Link can perform the Mortal Draw, a fearsome attack that OHKOs any foe it connects with.}}

=={{SSBB|Lucario}}==
===Attributes===
*{{nerf|The [[Aura]] mechanic is mostly inactive, leaving Lucario at his initial power level.}}
*{{buff|Air speed has been improved.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Down tilt is slightly stronger, and pushes Lucario back slightly.}}
*{{buff|Dash attack propels Lucario farther, with much less ending lag.}}
*{{buff|Up smash now has secondary, weaker hitboxes after the strong ones have disappeared giving the illusion that Lucario is vulnerable.}}
*{{buff|Down smash now sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|All aerials except down aerial are much faster in start-up and ending lag.}}
*{{buff|Neutral aerial now strikes twice, producing varying knockback trajectories, including one that sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}
*{{buff|The first hit of the down aerial is now a meteor smash, and instead of halting momentum, it gives Lucario a slight boost upwards and whichever distance it is moving horizontally.}}
*{{change|Pausing from down aerial is now shorter in duration.}}
*{{buff|Up aerial is powerful KO option, being able to KO as low as 50%.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Pummel speed increased.}}
*{{buff|Back throw now sends at a semi-spike trajectory.}}

===Special attacks===
*{{buff|[[Aura Sphere]] is larger and stronger. Uncharged to barely charged Aura Spheres follow a zig zag trajectory.}}
*{{buff|[[Force Palm]] now grabs foes in the air.}}
*{{buff|[[ExtremeSpeed]] now has damaging hitboxes throughout the move, and knocks the enemy in the direction of movement. It can be interrupted by any aerial attack - doing so before the end of the move lets Lucario keep its momentum, allowing it to recover farther. ExtremeSpeed also no longer leaves Lucario helpless. It also now has virtually no start-up lag.}}
*{{change|[[Double Team]] has become Focus Energy! Pressing and holding down-b, Lucario will calm himself and focus his aura. This boosts his power to 1.2x default, making his moves hit harder and do more damage.  Down-B again will use Double team instantly, and grabbing someone with Force Palm will unleash Close Combat. Naturally, executing these moves will break his concentration and he will need to Focus Energy again in order to use them.}}

===Taunts===
*{{change|Holding down an up taunt (or inputting the up/down/up combo, which is slightly quicker) will perform an Ultra Taunt, which creates powerful hitboxes all around Lucario that inflict 60% damage on his foes and 999% onto him. All of his attacks (except down-tilt) become immensely more powerful with much more knockback to boot. In this state his aura sphere is even stronger, and a fully charged sphere is a OHKO. This can be performed once per stock, and the buff only persists when at 999%.}}

=={{SSBB|Lucas}}==
===Attributes===
*{{buff|Dashing speed has been improved.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Dash attack pushes Lucas much further, and has can be immediately canceled on hit.}}
*{{buff|Forward tilt can cancel into other moves on hit.}}
*{{buff|Down tilt now always trips on its first hit. Any following hit dows not trip, and 80 frames must pass without a down tilt before it can trip again.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash can be angled.}}
*{{buff|Down smash has been altered, to where the first two hits deal extremely weak vertical knockback with less damage, while the third hit is much stronger, and sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory. If the A button is held, it will instead freeze the opponent.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Forward Aerial is now stronger and slightly bigger.}}
*{{buff|Neutral aerial now has more hitstun and less landing lag, allowing the user to follow up with more attacks.}}
*{{buff|Up and Back aerials are stronger.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Lucas' [[grab aerial]] is attack cancelable on hit.}}
*{{change|Lucas's down throw now sends opponents slightly behind him instead of above him.}}

===Special moves===
*{{buff|[[PK Freeze]] no longer leaves Lucas helpless when used while airborne. The PK Freeze projectile now explodes upon contacting ground or a wall, and will explode at the end of its trajectory if Lucas is hit before ending it, although the projectile will vanish at startup if Lucas is too close to a surface. The projectile itself now produces a paralyzer effect instead of freezing opponents. Lucas can also jump out of the animation, allowing him to move with the projectile.}}
*{{buff|[[PK Fire]] gives Lucas a larger push back when used. Holding B (or tapping thrice) propels Lucas forward instead of backward. It is also a multi-hitting projectile that deals more damage. Can be canceled into grab aerial if used in the air}}
*{{buff|If Lucas strikes a wall/ceiling after hitting himself with the [[PK Thunder]] projectile, he will automatically use PK Thunder again, up to three consecutive times.}}
*{{buff|PK Thunder can be interrupted by an [[air dodge]]. Doing so will not leave Lucas [[helpless]].}}
*{{buff|[[PSI Magnet]] can be canceled via jump, akin to how Fox's/Falco's Reflector could be in ''Melee'', pulls close opponents towards Lucas, and has electric hitboxes dealing 2% damage per second.  Releasing PSI Magnet unleashes a semispike hitbox in front of Lucas.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|Up taunt hits nearby opponents for 1%, slightly flinching them.}}
*{{buff|Down taunt can hit opponents for 5%.}}
*{{buff|Side taunt will make Lucas pull out a [[Mr. Saturn]].}}

=={{SSBB|Luigi}}==
===Aesthetics===
*{{change|Luigi has four new alternate costumes wearing {{SSBB|Peach}}'s dresses, referencing ''[[mariowiki:Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.}}

===Attributes===
*{{buff|Dashing and air speed have been increased, while traction is decreased.}}
*{{buff|Luigi's [[footstool jump]] now damages (for 12%), as well as burying grounded opponents, and meteor smashing airborne opponents with much more knockback, but still lesser than Mario's.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Down Tilt is significantly faster, being about twice as fast.}}
*{{buff|Pressing the Shield or attack button during the latter half of the Dash Attack makes Luigi do a "tripping attack" that spikes opponents.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{change|Forward aerial is weaker, but sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}
*{{buff|The meteor smash hitbox of down aerial now covers more of Luigi's body, making it much easier to meteor smash with.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{change|Down throw sends opponents on a horizontal trajectory instead of vertically.}}

===Special attacks===
*{{buff|Fireballs travel in a straight diagonal arc and bounce off the floor, akin to the superballs in ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Land|Super Mario Land]]''. When holding B, Luigi will use the Thunderhand from ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga}}'' instead, an electric move that deals a single powerful blow.}}
*{{buff|[[Green Missile]] always results in a misfire when used. They can still be charged indefinitely, but won’t gain any extra distance. The attack's priority has been increased too, now passing projectiles and opponents. Also, Luigi can pull off a short-distanced misfire (uncharged missile distance) in a 1/8 chance. Is footstool cancelable on hit. The attack is also no longer able to get stuck in walls, making it safer as a recovery move.}}
*{{buff|[[Super Jump Punch]]'s sourspot is drastically stronger, being about a third as strong as a sweetspotted Super Jump Punch. Also has Green Fire GFX.}}
*{{nerf|A sweetspotted Super Jump Punch is weaker.}}
*{{buff|[[Luigi Cyclone]] can cancel into a neutral, tilt, or smash attack just before the final hit when used on the ground.}}
*{{buff|[[Negative Zone]] can be jump canceled during the dance and will freeze opponents entirely instead of slow them down.}}

===Taunts===
*{{change|Side taunt is now his gun fingers victory pose, which fires two fireballs.}}
*{{change|Pressing the up taunt, down taunt, up taunt makes Luigi perform the Negative Zone dance as a taunt, during which the crowd cheers and confetti and fireworks appear.}}
*{{buff|Down Taunt has invincibility frames right when Luigi kicks, making Taunt KOs safer.}}

=={{SSBB|Mario}}==

===Attributes===
*{{buff|[[Air speed|Air speed]] increased}}
*{{buff|Mario's [[footstool]] jump now damages (for 16%), as well as burying grounded opponents, and is now the strongest meteor smash in the game.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Forward smash produces a larger explosion, with more power when sweetspotted.}}
*{{buff|Mario has a new dash attack where he slides forward with his entire body, as he did in ''Super Mario 64'', which can be followed with a hop attack by pressing A.}}
*{{change|Up tilt produces a coin effect upon being landed.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Forward aerial has fire graphics, is much stronger, has less landing lag, and no longer has a sourspot.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial is able to be cancelled into a Footstool jump or aerial attacks, including itself. It can also be used to increase the height of any jump.}}

===Throws/other attacks===
*{{buff|Forward, back, and up throw are much stronger, with the latter two being able to reliably KO under 150%.}}

===Special moves===
*{{buff|Start-up and ending lag on his [[Fireball]] are significantly shorter, allowing him to shoot them at a more rapid pace. In addition, if one holds B, instead of launching a Fireball, Mario will use the Firebrand move from ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga}}'', a single hit burst of flame from his palm with solid damage and knockback.}}
*{{buff|By holding ''B'', [[Super Jump Punch]] can be performed twice in succession, akin to Pikachu's Quick Attack, can be canceled into a walljump from frame 9, and the final hit is much stronger.}}
*{{buff|[[F.L.U.D.D.]] is always fully charged. It now pulls opponents towards Mario and can be canceled into anything except another F.L.U.D.D.}}
*{{buff|[[Mario Finale]] can be jump canceled.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|Up taunt has [[armor]] while Mario is giant.}}
*{{change|Successfully completing a side taunt turns him [[Metal Box|metal]]. Holding shield during a side taunt will not turn Mario metal.}}

=={{SSBB|Marth}}==

===Attributes===
*{{buff|Walking and dashing speed have been improved.}}
*{{change|His sword's trails when swung now vary, from green with smash attacks and blue for his tilts and aerials, to purple with his specials.}}

===Ground Attacks===
*{{buff|When the attack button is held, Marth will repeat his jab combo at a rapid pace.}}
*{{buff|When angled upwards, Marth's forward smash slides him forward a fair distance. When angled downwards, it slides him backwards a fair distance. An unangled forward smash functions similarly to how it did in normal ''Brawl''. The forward smash also has an additional hitbox added right before the tip, that is stronger than the normal hitbox, but is not as strong as the tipper hitbox.}}
*{{buff|Up smash now has better hitboxes on the side of the attack and has more knockback scaling on the tipper.}}
*{{buff|Down tilt sends Marth forward slightly. Non-tipped down tilt sends opponents on a weak vertical trajectory, similar to {{SSBM|Roy}}'s down tilt in ''Melee''.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|All aerials are faster and stronger, more noticeably the tippers.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial has a larger sweetspot, making it much easier to meteor smash with.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|All grabs have longer reach.}}

===Specials===
*{{buff|[[Shield Breaker]] pushes Marth forwards further while grounded. When airborne, it produces much more forward momentum, and is interruptible by aerial attacks during its hitboxes duration and ending lag. Aerial version autocancels.}}
*{{buff|[[Dancing Blade]] is slightly slower. The third hit angled down is a strong spike and final hit angled up is much stronger and can be jump canceled on hit.}}
*{{change|[[Dolphin Slash]] plays the SFX from ''Melee''.}}
*{{buff|[[Critical Hit]] has been sped up and cannot be sidestepped or air dodged. It has also been given a further increase in power, now matching that of Ganondorf's ''Brawl-'' Warlock Punch.}}

=={{SSBB|Meta Knight}}==

===Attributes===
*{{nerf|Meta Knight is drastically lighter (79 → 73).}}
*{{buff|Meta Knight no longer goes into special fall, and can use each special in the air once.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Last hit of jab ends drastically faster allowing him to attack immediately after.}}
*{{nerf|Rapid jab cannot be held indefinitely, only for 2 iterations}}
*{{nerf|Forward tilt deals 2% less total damage.}}
*{{buff|Down tilt has set vertical knockback, allowing for combos and confirms at any percent.}}
*{{nerf|Down tilt's sweetspot removed.}}
*{{buff|Up tilt has significantly decreased ending lag.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash is now a slash that angles more upward. It deals more knockback and has more range above Meta Knight.}}
*{{nerf|Forward smash has increased ending lag.}}
**{{change|If Meta Knight stands idle after performing a forward smash, he will point his sword out like in his side taunt, accompanied by the "Huh" SFX in his up taunt.}}
*{{buff|Up smash is faster, and deals 2% more damage.}}
*{{nerf|Both hits of down smash deal less damage, 1% and 3% respectively.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{change|Glide attack now produces horizontal knockback instead of vertical knockback.}}
*{{nerf|Glide attack's damage has been halved.}}
*{{buff|Neutral Air has decreased ending lag in the air, allowing for more followups.}}
*{{nerf|Up air has more ending lag.}}
*{{buff|Down Air now spikes directly downwards instead of semi-spiking. This allows for more combos and even more effective edge guarding.}}
*{{buff|Back Air has significantly increased knockback.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{change|Up Throw is much slower, plays the "Come back when you can put up a fight" SFX, causes a large explosion, and deals 25% damage and heavy knockback to both the opponent and Meta Knight when Meta Knight lands, essentially being used as a kamikaze attack.}}
*{{buff|Down throw produces vertical knockback instead of horizontal. This throw is now two hits. This throw cancels into [[Shuttle Loop]] when the special button is held, which can then be followed up with an additional attack}}
*{{buff|Forward throw has lowered end lag allowing for easier follow ups.}}
*{{buff|Back throw has increased knockback allowing it to be a respectable kill throw without taking deadly damage and knockback from Up throw.}}

===Specials===
*{{change|[[Mach Tornado]] knocks opponents outwards, lasts shorter, and can no longer be canceled into aerials. However, it has high base knockback that sends to the side, allowing the move to be a deadly edgeguarding tool that can corner carry and with no risk.}}
*{{buff|[[Drill Rush]] is significantly quicker.}}
*{{buff|[[Dimensional Cape]] is much stronger when used as an attack and has increased hitlag. Also, [[Infinite Dimensional Cape]] can no longer be used, but tilting the C-stick or pressing the button assigned to up-smash will make the Dimensional Cape go straight to the attack, having near-instantaneous startup if done so right at the beginning.}}
*{{nerf|Shuttle Loop no longer includes the loop, instead leaving Meta Knight with the initial jump. As such, it also loses the glide and glide attack, leaving Meta Knight with only one (albeit the superior) glide.}}

===Taunts===
*{{change|Pressing A during Up Taunt causes Meta Knight to trip.}}

=={{SSBM|Mewtwo}}==
===Attributes===
*{{buff|Tail is drastically longer, akin to [[Mewtwo (PM)|its Project M form]]. This significantly increases its range.}}
*{{nerf|Double jump is shorter without a speed increase to compensate.}}
*{{buff|Mewtwo can no longer double-jump cancel, improving its recovery. However, the benefits of ''Brawl-'''s combo-heavy physics and Mewtwo's other changes compensate for its less effective combos out of a double jump.}}
*{{nerf|The removal of [[wavedash]]ing (except for Fox and Wolf) hinders Mewtwo's mobility.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Jab is much faster and can be extended or stopped at any point in the multi-hit.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash's sweetspot creates a much larger explosion.}}
*{{buff|Down smash has less ending lag.}}
===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Neutral aerial carries out faster and is harder to escape.}}
===Grabs and throws===
*{{nerf|Forward throw's Shadow Balls now come about half a second after the throw instead of almost immediately, making it harder to connect.}}
*{{buff|Back throw is much faster.}}
*{{buff|Up throw now deals damage as Mewtwo swirls the opponent, which also hits nearby enemies.}}
*{{change|Down throw has slightly more knockback. While this removes Mewtwo's chaingrabs, it gives it access to more versatile and useful combos.}}
===Specials===
*{{buff|[[Shadow Ball]] is stronger and passes through enemies.}}
*{{buff|[[Confusion]] now has several smaller hits accompanying the big hit, making it do more damage and being able to hit nearby opponents.}}
*{{buff|[[Teleport]] can be used twice, and no longer leaves Mewtwo helpless.}}
*{{buff|[[Disable]] has been changed to Future Sight. Upon leaving the animation, Mewtwo leaves behind a ball of darkness that explodes on the spot with high damage after a few seconds. Using the move again before it explodes will instead set a new ball.}}
===Taunts===
*{{change|Mewtwo’s taunt from ''Melee'' is now mapped to the down button.}}
*{{change|His side taunt has him thrust his arm forward while sounding his cry from the ''Pokemon'' games.}}
*{{change|His up taunt has him leap off the ground and curl up, falling asleep for a moment.}}

=={{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}==
===Attributes===
*{{buff|Dashing speed has been improved.}}
*{{buff|Ground to air jump momentum increased.}}
*{{change|Traction was decreased.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Each hit on the jab combo deals more damage.}}
*{{buff|Forward tilt, up tilt, forward smash, and up smash are faster in both start-up and ending lag.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash has two varieties depending on if it is angled or not. Non-angled forward smash functions similarly to how it did in normal ''Brawl''. An angled forward smash will create multiple smaller and weaker hitboxes instead of several strong ones, and will end with Mr. Game & Watch releasing a parachute while holding a match. The parachute contains a strong hitbox.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|If the attack button is held, his neutral aerial uses a parachute and functions similarly to how it did in ''Melee''. If the attack button is just tapped, it'll be his neutral aerial from normal ''Brawl''.}}
*{{buff|[[Wind]] hitboxes on up aerial now cause slight damage and can be removed by not holding the A button.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial always meteor smashes outside of the hitbox produced upon landing, can be made similar to its ''Melee'' incarnation when the attack button is held, and can be interrupted into a double jump or any special move after the hitbox cedes.}}

===Special moves===
*{{buff|The food from [[Chef]] produces vertical knockback and does fire damage and launches five projectiles at once. The pan is much stronger, but the projectiles are slightly weaker.}}
*{{buff|[[Judge]] can be interrupted by any attack after 25 frames, and all results except for 9 have been significantly buffed, by having increased damage, and causing varying additional effects that temporarily incapacitate the opponent:}}
**{{buff|1 makes the opponent slide behind Mr. Game & Watch. Additionally, it only causes 1% of self-damage to Mr. Game & Watch, as opposed to 12% in normal ''Brawl''.}}
**{{buff|2 produces a [[flower]] effect.}}
**{{buff|3 has dramatically increased hitlag.}}
**{{buff|4 puts the opponent to [[sleep]].}}
**{{buff|5 [[Bury|buries]] the opponent.}}
**{{buff|7 [[stun]]s the opponent.}}
*{{buff|[[Oil Panic]] has a much higher damage multiplier for the projectiles caught, making it very powerful once full.}}
*{{buff|The parachute on [[Fire]] has hitboxes added to it.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|All taunts add a unit to Oil Panic and are interruptible. Note that these units are weak.}}

===Miscellaneous===
*{{change|Like in ''Melee'', Mr. Game & Watch beeps when he is blast KO'd.}}

=={{SSBB|Ness}}==

===Attributes===
*{{buff|Ness can now [[Double Jump Cancel]]. This is done by using an aerial while he is double jumping. He retains his jump, however, if the jump button is held.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|All smashes have increased strength and bigger hitboxes and forward smash has increased speed.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash has a strong hitbox at the edge of the bat, and it uses the [[Home-Run Bat]] SFX.}}
*{{buff|Down tilt now has decreased end lag, allowing it to be used multiple times in quick succession.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|All aerials have increased strength and less start up.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial no longer has a sourspot.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Pummel damage has been increased.}}

===Specials===
*{{buff|[[PK Flash]] no longer leaves Ness helpless if used while airborne. The PK Flash projectile also explodes when it hits ground or a wall, and will explode at the end of its trajectory if Ness is hit before ending it. Additionally, the startup of PK Flash has set vertical knockback, which can be easily followed up with an uncharged PK Flash. It also travels a lot quicker and can be held for much longer.}}
*{{buff|[[PK Fire]] has slightly less start-up and ending lag when fired. And when used in the air it can be jump canceled.}}
*{{buff|Ness no longer becomes helpless if the projectile from [[PK Thunder]] fails to hit him. Using it for recovery gives him [[armor]]. It also has 5% light armor on startup and 10% on hold/loop.}}
*{{buff|[[PSI Magnet]] produces a hitbox when initially used that causes light damage and vertical knockback. It can now also be cancelled via a jump, akin to Fox/Falco's reflector in ''Melee''.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|Ness’s down taunt can damage nearby foes.}}

=={{SSBB|Olimar}}==
===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|All tilts are considerably quicker.}}
**{{change|Down tilt pushes Olimar forward a fair distance, piercing through foes.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash and up smash distance increased.}}
*{{buff|During down smash, Pikmin won't stop at the edge of a stage.}}
===Specials===
*{{buff|Can [[Pikmin Pluck|pluck]] [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] in the air. Doing so will also elevate Olimar somewhat, which can be done up to 3 times until landing. If plucking in mid-air, Olimar will instantly max out on Pikmin.}}
*{{buff|[[Pikmin Throw]] is quicker and hurls Pikmin farther.}}
*{{buff|[[Pikmin Order]] can now be canceled into anything, including itself. Deals 1% damage (non-flinching) to surrounding foes.}}

=={{SSBB|Peach}}==
===Attributes===
*{{change|Peach will have hearts appear while walking.}}
*{{buff|Peach can now [[float]] cancel and gets a second float. The floats will combine in length if used in one jump.}}

*{{buff|Down smash always trips opponents, with every hit.}}
*{{buff|Down tilt always meteor smashes, as well as being much faster.}}
*{{buff|Dash attack can be cancelled by another attack immediately after hitboxes have been used up.}}
===Aerial attacks===
*{{change|Down aerial has an added heart effect, similar to Peach's up tilt.}}
*{{buff|Neutral aerial has an added heart effect, along with considerable shield damage, slightly increased knockback, sends opponents at a low angle trajectory, and its landing lag reduced from eleven frames to two. When sourspotted, it sends opponent at an even lower angle.}}
**{{change|Peach now says "Whee!" when performing neutral aerial; This is an otherwise unused voice clip found in vanilla ''Brawl''{{'}}s files.}}
*{{buff|Up aerial given some base knockback so it can KO around 150% as opposed to 170%.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{change|Down throw has additional heart sound effects, and Peach giggles when it is used, with the latter coming from unused files found in vanilla ''Brawl''{{'}}s files.}}
*{{buff|"This is fun!" SFX played when forward throw is used, along with it being stalled during her saying it, and the forward throw is much more powerful, reliably KOing under 150%.}}
*{{nerf|Back throw is slightly weaker.}}

===Specials===
*{{buff|Toad [[counter]] has more range.}}
*{{buff|[[Peach Bomber]] can be interrupted by any aerial move or [[Toad]], retaining Peach Bomber's horizontal momentum.}}
*{{buff|[[Peach Parasol]] can be cancelled by an aerial attack when it isn’t deployed.}}
**{{buff|Can grab ledges backwards while her Parasol is deployed.}}
*{{buff|All [[Vegetable]]s are thrown farther and Peach has an increased random chance of pulling a stitchface turnip or one of the following items: [[Beam Sword]], [[Bob-omb]], [[Lip's Stick]], [[Mr. Saturn]], [[Pitfall]], [[Unira]], or absolutely nothing (which is supposed to be a [[Green Shell]] according to the FitPeach.pac). Stronger vegetables are color-coded: The redder they are, the stronger they are. Veggies can be plucked in the air.}}

=={{SSBM|Pichu}}==
===Attributes===
*{{buff|Pichu is significantly heavier (55 → 74).}}
*{{buff|Pichu no longer takes any recoil from normal attacks. Instead, while performing an aerial, special, or smash attack, the player can hold down the button to strengthen the move at the expense of self-damage.}}
*{{buff|Pichu heals 1% more damage for every 30 frames it crouches.}}
===Ground attacks===
*{{change|Up smash now has electrical properties.}}
**{{change|It now has a different angle of knockback (85 → 101).}}
**{{nerf|It has much less base knockback (80 → 48).}}
**{{buff|It has more knockback growth (64 → 69). When charged, it has much more growth (69 → 93) at the expense of 6% self-damage.}}
*{{nerf|Forward smash is significantly weaker (73 base, 89 growth → 69 base, 54 growth) and sends at the Sakurai angle.}}
**{{buff|It is now a single hit that does 18% damage. When charged, it does 8% damage to Pichu but much more growth (54 → 74).}}
===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Hitting the ground during its downward aerial causes an explosion ([[Bulbapedia:Zap_Cannon_(move)|Zap Cannon]]). Boosted down aerial also meteor smashes and is a stall-then-fall.}}
===Special moves===
*{{buff|Pichu's tapped neutral special is [[Bulbapedia:Nuzzle_(move)|Nuzzle]], which stuns opponents in front of Pichu at close range without self-damage. Pichu's held neutral special is [[Bulbapedia:Electro_Ball_(move)|Electro Ball]], which causes Pichu to take self-damage but leave behind a sphere of electricity that can stop approaches. Electro Ball is an exception to the recoil feature, being weaker than Nuzzle.}}
*{{buff|Pichu's tapped side special is [[Bulbapedia:Fling_(move)|Fling]], a move that launches him forward, striking opponents at the beginning of the move. When held, side special becomes [[Bulbapedia:Wild_Charge_(move)|Wild Charge]], which sends Pichu even farther and deals more damage at the expense of self-damage.}}
*{{buff|Tapped up special is still [[Bulbapedia:Agility_(move)|Agility]], but it does not damage Pichu or leave it helpless, and is one quick burst of distance that can be used up to three times in the air. Held up special is [[Bulbapedia:Volt_Switch_(move)|Volt Switch]], which functions the same way but causes damage to both the opponent and Pichu.}}
*{{buff|Tapped down special is [[Bulbapedia:Thunderbolt_(move)|Thunderbolt]], which is weaker than Thunder but is faster and does not directly hit Pichu, thus removing the self-damage. Held down special is [[Bulbapedia:Discharge_(move)|Discharge]], which causes significant self-damage to Pichu, but is also much stronger, able to KO below 100% if sweetspotted.}}

===Taunts===
*{{change|Pichu’s ''Melee'' taunt is moved to the down button.}}
*{{change|His side taunt has him blow kisses to an applauding audience.}}
*{{change|His up taunt is now his infamous butt-slap, sassy grin and all.}}

=={{SSBB|Pikachu}}==
===Attributes===
*{{buff|Pikachu can footstool while in special fall state.}}
===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Up smash is stronger, with an [[Electric|electrical]] effect upon impact.}}
*{{change|Pikachu spins much faster during its down smash, and each hit has less hitlag.}}
*{{buff|Pikachu's jab now hits even faster.}}
===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Back aerial moves Pikachu horizontally through the air, similar to a helicopter. Cancels into any other attack, including itself.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial is now a meteor smash.}}
===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Forward throw knocks nearby opponents down.}}
===Specials===
*{{buff|[[Skull Bash]] is much stronger with an electrical effect upon impact and covers much more range. If a fully-charged Skull Bash misses, however, Pikachu is likely to KO itself. On the upside, this can even KO at extremely low damage percentages and can OHKO most characters. The charge for Skull Bash can be shield canceled, but it will not retain the charge. It is granted 7% armor while charging Skull Bash. The angle and speed have been adjusted as well. It can also be wall jumped out of.}}
*{{buff|[[Quick Attack]] meteor smashes opponents, and can now be used twice in the same direction.}}
*{{buff|{{b|Thunder|Pokémon}} projectile now meteor smashes everywhere except the top.}}
*{{buff|Thunder can be jumped out of while in the air, allowing two to be done in quick succession.}}

*{{buff|Glide attack produces vertical knockback that is stronger.}}
===Ground attacks===
*{{change|Jab combo is no longer an infinite, and the last hit now sends opponents behind Pit.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash can be [[angled]]. Unangled forward smash is the same as in regular ''Brawl''. Angled forward smash is a single weaker upward swipe that knocks up-backwards.}}
===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Neutral and up aerials are faster.}}
*{{buff|Forward aerial now sends opponents on semi-spike trajectory.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial can now meteor smash.}}
===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Pummel speed is faster.}}
*{{buff|Back throw throws opponents at a semi-spike.}}
===Specials===
*{{buff|There is more control over the arrows shot from [[Palutena's Bow]] - there is no limit to their turning speed. Palutena's Bow can also be charged longer. Arrows fired upwards are much slower and smaller. Aerial charge animation can be cancelled near startup by pressing the shield button, which sends Pit tumbling.}}
*{{buff|Side Special is now Angel Sweep. Using it in the air will make him execute a weaker glide attack. Holding the special button will make him soar through the air, which can be controlled with the control stick. Using it on the ground executes a short version of the held aerial version.}}
*{{buff|Hitbox added to [[Wings of Icarus]]' startup. It can be used 3 times. The second can be canceled into the third.}}
*{{buff|[[Mirror Shield]] is jump cancelable.}}
*{{buff|The Centurions in [[Palutena's Army]] can now change flight directions, allowing them to chase down a target more effectively.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|Pit’s up taunt now deals damage with a quick series of weak opening slashes, finishing with a 14% jab upwards that can KO at roughly 160%.}}
*{{buff|The four swipes of Pit’s side taunt can combine for 13% damage.}}
*{{buff|Pit’s down taunt is now a variant of [[Heavenly Light]], dealing up to 18% damage vertically over a series of non-flinching hits. Doesn’t push away opponents.}}

=={{SSBB|R.O.B.}}==

*{{buff|R.O.B. can crouch walk.}}
===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Up tilt is quicker.}}
===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Down aerial propels R.O.B. forward and downwards quickly when used, effectively giving him a "ROBdash". R.O.B. gains a hitbox on his body during this attack.}}
*{{buff|Up aerial's speed greatly increased, with only the final hit launching.}}
*{{change|Back aerial hits opponent in front of R.O.B.}}
===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Pummel has an electrical effect and deals more damage.}}
===Specials===
*{{buff|When [[Robo Beam]] is fully charged, the beam will [[paralyze]] opponents for a brief moment before knockback occurs. In addition, a fully charged beam is much more powerful.}}
**{{nerf|Uncharged beam no longer paralyzes.}}
*{{buff|[[Arm Rotor]] propels R.O.B. much further in the air, and even more so on the ground. Repeatedly hitting the special button covers less distance. It is also now interruptible.}}

=={{SSBM|Roy}}==

===Attributes===
*{{change|The trails of his sword are more prominent.}}
*{{change|Most of his sweetspotted moves have a [[flame]] effect.}}
*{{buff|[[Dash|Dashing speed]] increased (1.61 → 1.8)}}

*{{buff|Dash attack is now running stab and has more reach.}}
*{{buff|Roy now jumps forward slightly when performing a forward smash, giving it more reach.}}
*{{buff|Down tilt has a sourspot on the hilt that sends at a semi-spike angle, allowing the move to both combo and edgeguard valuably.}}
*{{nerf|All down tilt hitboxes are weaker.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Forward aerial is now a two-hit attack, dealing more damage and can be jump canceled after the first hit.}}
*{{nerf|Up aerial is now an upwards stab giving the move less diagonal reach.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial's meteor smash hitbox is significantly larger.}}

===Special moves===
*{{buff|[[Flare Blade]] has less start-up.}}
*{{buff|[[Double-Edge Dance]] is now a three-part attack, with greater knockback on the last attack, and increased shield damage. An aerial Double-Edge Dance is replaced with an air dash that propels him forward and can be canceled into an aerial.}}
*{{buff|[[Blazer]] has armor, and covers much more distance.}}
*{{change|Blazer has a new spiraling animation.}}
*{{change|Blazer's first hit has drastically less set knockback. While this removes its ability to OHKO floaty characters, it makes it notably easier to connect all the hits.}}
*{{buff|[[Counter]] multiplier is much higher.}}

===Taunts===
*{{change|Roy’s taunt from ''Melee'' is now mapped to the down button, and the SFX is his uncharged Flare Blade yell.}}
*{{change|His up taunt makes him say ''Boku wa makenai''.}}
*{{change|His side taunt makes him swipe his sword twice.}}

=={{SSBB|Samus}}==
===Aesthetics===
*{{change|Samus's name is now stylized as Samus Aran.}}
*{{change|Samus now has costumes based on her Power Suit, Varia Suit, Gravity Suit, and Metroid Suit from Metroid Dread.}}
===Attributes===
*{{buff|Attacks are generally stronger.}}
===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Dash attack is drastically stronger, and has an electric effect upon impact, emulating the Shinespark.}}
*{{buff|Up tilt always spikes on the heel and always sends horizontally on the leg.}}
*{{buff|Down tilt is an extremely fast close-range explosion that can be canceled after frame 8 on unshielded hit, with vertical knockback. Can be quickly comboed into other moves if it lands.}}
*{{buff|Up smash is a combination of [[Aura]] and ice instead of fire, simulating Phazon. Last hit is much stronger.}}
*{{buff|Down smash produces knockback that is more horizontal.}}
===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Grab now lingers, identical to [[Zero Suit Samus]]{{'}}s.}}
*{{buff|Up Throw is the Grapple Voltage from ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', which knocks the opponent down to the floor and heals Samus for 4%.}}

===Specials===
*{{buff|[[Charge Shot]] charges quicker and in the air and is drastically stronger, being able to KO well under 100%. The projectile is also slightly larger. Uncharged shots have a paralyzer effect.}}
**{{change|Charge Shot now sends Samus much further back when used in the air.}}
*{{buff|[[Missile|Homing missiles]] are much stronger and last much longer, while also homing in on opponents at sharper and more direct angles. Smash Missiles are stronger as well, and accelerate extremely quickly. Both types of missiles have less start-up and ending lag on firing.}}
*{{buff|[[Screw Attack]] now deals one powerful hit, which can kill at high percents.}}
*{{buff|[[Bomb (Samus)|Samus' Bombs]] are now Power Bombs, which start slower. Samus now moves faster while in morph ball.}}
**{{nerf|The decreased bomb speed makes bomb jumping more difficult.}}
*{{change|{{b|Zero Laser|Samus}} will never transform Samus into Zero Suit Samus.}}

===Taunts===
*{{change|Attempting to change into Zero Suit Samus via the up/down/up combo will simply make Samus pause for a second.}}

=={{SSBB|Sheik}}==
===Attributes===
*{{buff|Has an additional midair jump.}}
*{{buff|Walking speed increased.}}
*{{change|Sheik becomes invisible and has a smokeball effect when she dodges and rolls.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Forward tilt, down tilt, and dash attack are now all jump cancelable on hit. Not JC if Sheik hits shield. Up throw is jump cancelable.}}
*{{change|Dash Attack now has a vanishing effect.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash covers more distance, about twice as far as before.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Down air can be jumped out of quicker.}}

===Special Moves===
*{{buff|[[Needle Storm]] must be charged by holding the special button instead of just pressing it. Needles will explode moments after being on the ground.  Now charges faster.}}
*{{buff|[[Vanish]] now produces a explosion upon reappearing. Vanish is faster now.}}
*{{buff|[[Chain]] now grants Sheik horizontal trajectory in the air, comes out much faster, paralyzes and auto-cancels upon hit. Can also tether ledges.}}

=={{SSBB|Snake}}==

===Attributes===
*{{buff|Can drop his currently held item by pressing A during any dodge.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|The hitboxes of the third hit of his jab combo, and his up tilt have increased hitlag.}}
*{{change|The first hitbox of his forward tilt has increased set knockback, knocking all opponents upward instead of hitting them in place.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash has two variations, depending on if it's angled or not. When not angled, Snake will shoot one blast, then it will be followed by a second, and then a third blast, each one being a larger and stronger explosion than the last. If angled, Snake will shoot a chain of five blasts that travel forward in rapid succession, with each being weaker than the last.}}
*{{buff|Up smash produces three mortar projectiles instead of one. Mortar and projectiles are colored red.}}
*{{buff|Down smash is faster, stronger, has a larger blast radius, activates sooner, and lasts for one minute before expiring or exploding (whichever comes first). Snake's "There!" SFX is played upon successful implantation. Now hits people who will try to roll over a mine.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|All aerials have less landing lag and much higher hitlag.}}
*{{buff|Each stomp of the down aerial comes out much faster.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{change|"Nom" SFX played each time Snake pummels the opponent.}}
*{{buff|Back throw now sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory similar to Wolf's down throw, while the forward throw is now a meteor smash.}}
*{{change|"Tasty!" SFX played when Snake uses his down throw.}}
===Specials===
*{{buff|[[Hand Grenade]]s produce stronger knockback that is horizontal. If Snake attempts to pull out a grenade when two are already active, he'll pull out a [[Motion-Sensor Bomb]].}}
*{{buff|The [[Remote Missile]] travels dramatically faster, though it can only be controlled during the first second and can’t be canceled.}}
*{{buff|[[Cypher]] is interruptible much sooner and Snake has much more horizontal control with it, and weakly meteor smashes airborne opponents who come in contact with it after the Cypher is released. }}
*{{buff|[[C4]] has a larger sticky radius.}}
**{{change|The SFX for deploying a C4 also plays when detonating.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|Side taunt drops a grenade.}}
*{{buff|Snake can move around while in a [[cardboard box]]. The "Kept you waiting, huh?" SFX is added when removing a cardboard box.}}

=={{SSBB|Sonic}}==

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|All attacks except forward tilt are stronger.}}
*{{buff|Down tilt is much faster and pushes Sonic forward.}}
*{{buff|Down smash has a unique property, that when a direction is held left or right, Sonic will carry momentum in that direction upon the down smash being finished.}}
*{{buff|Down smash can be canceled into anything after the second hit, and when a Homing Attack is used, Sonic will fly forward a very long distance. This can lead to KOs on himself if used improperly.}}
*{{buff|Dash attack has a hit at the very end when Sonic uncurls from a ball. The hitbox has high hitlag, launches airborne opponents downwards, and trips grounded opponents. Pressing the special button cancels his dash attack into [[Spin Dash]].}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Every aerial except back is stronger.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial now only has one hitbox that sends opponents on a vertical trajectory. Sonic can move horizontally during the down aerial. The attack is interruptible after a period of time.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Pummel speed has been drastically increased.}}
*{{buff|All throws are quicker.}}
*{{buff|Forward throw is now a simple toss with more horizontal knockback.}}
*{{buff|Down throw causes no knockback, like Snake's down throw.}}
===Specials===
*{{buff|[[Homing Attack]] has significantly less startup lag, travels much farther and quicker, and has reduced ending lag when it hits an opponent or wall. It can be cancelled into any aerial outright upon striking someone. If it connects with a shield, Sonic will say "Come on, step it up!" and can immediately use another Homing Attack, allowing him to [[pressure]] shields.}}
*{{buff|Pressing Down on the Control Stick during Homing Attack's startup will execute the Bounce Attack, a rapid downward attack that bounces off the first thing Sonic hits. He will plummet to his death if there is nothing below him.}}
*{{buff|The [[Spring]] projectile now meteor smashes. It also does not disappear after two bounces - it bounces on any floor it lands on until it is cancelled by an attack or Sonic uses another Spring.}}
*{{buff|[[Spin Dash]] is replaced with Sonic Boost, a non-damaging instant ground or air dash faster than his dash that can be canceled into nearly anything. Releasing the special button will stop the boost, but on the ground, Sonic will continue to dash at boost speed if the control stick is still being held forward.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|All taunts are interruptible.}}

=={{SSBB|Squirtle}}==

===Attributes===
*{{buff|Initial and midair jump height increased.}}
*{{buff|Dash animation sped up, allowing for faster [[shellshifting]].}}
*{{buff|Stamina has been removed.}}
*{{change|Type effectiveness has been removed.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Up tilt is even faster.}}
*{{buff|Down tilt propels Squirtle slightly.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash propels Squirtle about twice as far, increasing its reach.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Neutral aerial is now a quicker, waterless attack that bounces Squirtle up slightly if it makes contact.}}
*{{buff|Up aerial is much quicker and can be chained effectively.}}
*{{buff|Last hit on down aerial now sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}

===Specials===
*{{buff|Uncharged [[Water Gun]] freezes opponents. Charged Water Gun also damages now, but still does not flinch. It also pushes further when Squirtle is at close range of his opponent.}}
*{{buff|[[Withdraw]] is now a short but swift dash forward. Can aid in recovery.}}
*{{buff|[[Waterfall]] gives Squirtle a higher upward push at the end, accompanied by its "Squirtle!" SFX and an extra upward boost if the special button is held.}}
*{{buff|New aerial down special: Aqua Jet, a downward water stream that meteor smashes, goes straight through platforms, and gives Squirtle slight upwards momentum. The meteor smash is stronger the closer the foe is to Squirtle. On the ground this move is a weaker copy of up smash where Squirtle jumps up.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|His down taunt is quicker and has armor.}}

=={{SSBB|Toon Link}}==

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Neutral combo now has an extra 4th sword swing.}}
*{{buff|Forward tilt can now meteor smash.}}
*{{buff|Down tilt is extremely fast.}}
*{{change|Forward smash is now one swing with knockback.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Neutral aerial has drastically reduced start-up and ending lag, as well as duration.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial has much less ending lag, allowing it to be chained into itself on hit. If this attack hits the ground, it produces a wind effect that pushes enemies sideways.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Toon Link’s aerial grab cancels into other aerials.}}
*{{buff|Up throw has significantly increased knockback, being able to reliably KO under 150%, while the back throw sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}

===Specials===
*{{buff|[[Hero's Bow]] randomly shoots fire, ice, and rarely light arrows that stick on the ground, leaving a lasting hitbox that damages opponents considerably upon being touched. A maximum of four arrows can be onscreen at once. Fire arrows have good knockback at higher percents, ice arrows can freeze opponents, while light arrows stun with high knockback.}}
*{{buff|[[Boomerang]] knocks opponents upwards and can strike multiple times.}}
*{{buff|Toon Link can move across the ground with a grounded [[Spin Attack]], akin to his Hurricane Slash from ''Wind Waker'', but it has more ending lag at the end. When used for recovering, it also gains more horizontal distance.}}
*{{buff|[[Bomb]]s are much stronger, being capable of KOing. Toon Link draws them much faster and he can throw them (as well as all other projectile items) at a faster speed, while covering much more distance. Toon Link does not have a limit on the amount of bombs he can pull, and the timer on bombs has been extended.}}
*{{change|[[Triforce Slash]] has fire hitboxes and the final hit knocks opponents backwards.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|Up taunt produces a non-flinching, damaging hitbox with a wind effect.}}
*{{buff|Down taunt also has hitboxes added to each sword swing, with the last swing producing powerful horizontal knockback.}}

=={{SSBB|Wario}}==

===Attributes===
*{{buff|Air speed has been drastically increased, along with an increase in falling speed.}}
*{{change|Aesthetic farting sounds added to Wario's jabs, back throw, and down throw.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Wario slides farther when he uses his dash attack. By pressing A during the dash attack, Wario will fart, sliding him even farther.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash's range has been increased and has [[armor]] on the opening frames. Wario can change directions while charging the forward smash, regardless of the direction he is facing.}}
*{{buff|Up smash has a vacuum effect.}}
*{{buff|Down smash strikes opponents multiple times, tripping them until the final hit.}}
*{{buff|Forward tilt can be canceled before the hitbox comes out. Pressing A while holding the control stick forward will cause him to to keep winding his punch the more times A is pressed. Tilting diagonally up will make Wario slide forward. Tilting diagonally down will send him backward.}}
*{{buff|Down tilt is quicker and will stay active until a foe hits it or Wario does something else. Has an additional hitbox that is designed to hit rolling crates only.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Forward aerial is weaker, but it can be quickly canceled into anything, giving Wario the opportunity to combo several forward aerials in succession.}}
*{{buff|Up aerial has two variants. Releasing the A button within five frames or using the C-Stick will perform the regular version, while holding the A button will make Wario fart, giving him upwards momentum.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial can be used for as long as the A button is held.}}
*{{buff|By pressing A during his back aerial, Wario will fart, pushing him backwards.}}
*{{buff|Neutral aerial behaves like down tilt, remaining active until Wario does something else. Maintains the second hitbox until someone is hit.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Wario can move left and right during his forward throw, which has hitboxes added to the thrown opponents and can be extended by holding A.}}

===Specials===
*{{buff|[[Chomp]]'s bite starts earlier. Wario's mouth can be held open for one minute. The closing of Wario's mouth produces a hitbox with powerful vertical knockback.}}
*{{buff|[[Wario Bike]] is only slightly affected by gravity. When used in the air, it rides straight forward as if flying. The bike explosion is much more powerful.}}
*{{buff|[[Corkscrew]] has been removed and replaced with a less powerful fully charged [[Wario Waft]], granting Wario tons of height.}}
*{{nerf|After 25 seconds, Wario may fart out a [[Rolling Crate]]. Attempting to fart out a crate prematurely will reset the cooldown and Wario will do a weak fart. Wario's attacks do less damage to rolling crates. Rolling crates are weaker and can be ducked through like platforms.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|Pressing B during side taunt causes Wario to fart.}}

=={{SSBB|Wolf}}==
===Attributes===
*{{buff|Dashing speed has been improved.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{change|Forward tilt is quicker and has decreased vertical knockback.}}
*{{buff|Down tilt is quicker.}}
*{{buff|Dash attack moves Wolf forward a good distance instead of halting all movement.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash has two different functions depending if it's angled or not. When not angled, it functions similarly to how it did in normal ''Brawl'', except Wolf slides slightly further at the end. When angled, Wolf will move forward and back very quickly, while hitting with only one hitbox that does light damage with moderate vertical knockback, similar to [[Weavile]]. The angled version can be cancelled into Wolf Flash by holding B if it hits.}}
*{{change|Back slice of down smash produces vertical knockback instead of horizontal.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Neutral aerial has more hitboxes, consisting of more hits.}}
*{{buff|Neutral aerial can now be canceled into another aerial, including another neutral air.}}
*{{buff|Forward aerial is much faster, both start-up and ending lag wise, along with gaining a sweetspot with significantly more vertical knockback.}}

===Specials===
*{{buff|[[Blaster]] shoots out a slow projectile that gradually grows in size. Its end lag can be canceled into attacks.}}
*{{buff|[[Wolf Flash]] can be interrupted by an aerial attack at the end; doing so will not leave Wolf helpless afterwards. It can also be cancelled into a ''Melee'' air dodge on startup, allowing Wolf to [[wavedash]] when on the ground. If sweetspotted, holding B will produce horizontal knockback; otherwise, it will meteor smash. Is cancelable with a wall jump.}}
*{{buff|[[Fire Wolf]] travels farther, and has significantly increased vertical knockback on the final hit, and has much less ending lag in the air, no longer killing all momentum upon finish. When connecting with the ground, Wolf can jump off the ground instead of entering endlag if the jump button is timed properly. When connecting with a wall, Wolf can wall jump.}}
**{{change|If the final hit of Fire Wolf connects and the special move button is held, Wolf will howl like in his up taunt.}}
*{{buff|[[Reflector (move)|Reflector]] knocks upwards when grounded and can be cancelled into any aerial airborne.}}

===Taunts===
*{{change|Up taunt makes the audience cheer.}}
*{{buff|Side taunt has damaging hitboxes added; the second hit has a chance of tripping the opponent and the third produces horizontal knockback.}}

=={{SSBB|Yoshi}}==

===Attributes===
*{{buff|Has an additional midair jump. Has more armor while jumping.}}
*{{buff|Dashing speed has been improved.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Second hit of jab can cancel into crouch or dash,}}
*{{buff|Down smash is stronger, and now sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Aerial attacks can be performed with either the A button or the Z button; when performed with the latter, Yoshi will halt all momentum, akin to a [[double jump cancel]].}}
*{{buff|Neutral aerial sourspotted hitbox sends opponents on a vertical trajectory instead of horizontally. If none of the move's other hitboxes have hit yet, its last lingering hitbox becomes the powerful "Yoshi Kick", analogous to Captain Falcon's [[knee smash]].}}
*{{nerf|The flutter kicks during Yoshi's down aerial have increased knockback, making comboing more difficult.}}
*{{buff|When sweetspotted, the forward aerial is stronger, and has drastically increased hitlag.}}
*{{buff|The final hit of a back aerial has increased hitlag and an electrical effect.}}

===Specials===
*{{buff|[[Egg Lay]] no longer causes upwards momentum to the laid egg or the escaping opponent.}}
**{{nerf|Opponents break free almost instantly.}}
*{{buff|[[Egg Roll]] is much faster, no longer leaves Yoshi helpless when ended while airborne, is stronger, and can be canceled into any normal move. In addition, it bounces on the ground, and is grab cancelable.}}
*{{buff|[[Egg Throw]] has a fire trail and produces a small explosion upon impact, with increased power. Eggs tossed also do not explode until impact with another character, damageable object, or wall/floor.}}
*{{buff|[[Ground Pound]] has IASA frames. Can be interrupted into other moves, and doing so with the jump of the grounded version at specific frames will cause Yoshi to rise very high.}}

=={{SSBB|Zelda}}==

===Attributes===
*{{buff|Has distant hitboxes added to her jab, dash attack, forward smash, forward aerial, back aerial, and down aerial. If she holds A as the opponent is hit by any of these particular distant hitboxes, she will teleport straight to it.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Down tilt is quicker, stronger, has a meteor smash effect, and has an additional distant hitbox.}}
*{{buff|Up smash has additional distant hitbox.}}
*{{buff|Zelda's forward tilt now sends out a trail of magic that pushes opponents.  Can be angled.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Neutral air cancels into other aerials.}}
*{{buff|Up aerial has lost its fire effect in favor of a magic effect. Holding A propels her down. Landlag produces a hitbox when done this way. Not really meant to be used as an attack.}}
*{{buff|Forward aerial and back aerial knock opponents towards Zelda’s position with moderate knockback.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Forward and back throws are stronger, while the up throw is much stronger and capable of KOing under 100%.}}

===Specials===
*{{buff|[[Nayru's Love]] can grant Zelda forward or backward momentum both on the ground and in the air.}}
*{{buff|[[Din's Fire]] is interruptible at any time, with no endlag. It also no longer leaves Zelda helpless if used in the air. The fireball of Din's Fire no longer explodes when hitting a solid surface, but keeps pressing against it. Zelda can hold the move for longer before she is forced to end it and the fireball explodes. If Zelda is hit while using Din's Fire, the fireball keeps heading in the same direction.}}
*{{buff|[[Farore's Wind]] has no ending lag when used for recovery, no longer killing all momentum upon finish.}}
*{{buff|Early during her transformation into Sheik, she can cancel the transformation with any non-special move. This is done to assist those that mess up angling Din's Fire.}}

=={{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}==

===Attributes===
*{{change|Zero Suit Samus can no longer transform into Samus.}}

===Ground attacks===
*{{change|Pressing the grab button for the last hit of a jab will fire a weak shot.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash hits behind Zero Suit Samus and is much stronger when sweetspotted.}}
*{{nerf|Down smash is slower.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Down aerial is no longer a [[stall-then-fall]], behaving like a normal aerial.  This move spikes unless the A button is held.  This causes her to perform a multi hitting flipping attack propelling her up.}}

===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|Pummel speed increased.}}
*{{change|Forward throw knocks opponents down, no longer being able to chain throw them, while back throw sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.}}

===Specials===
*{{buff|[[Paralyzer]] travels faster and much further, even when uncharged.}}
*{{buff|[[Plasma Whip]] has a sourspot hitbox added when the special button is held that hits opponents towards Zero Suit Samus weakly.}}
*{{buff|Down special only uses the attack portion with A. This is so the move can be followed up with specials better. Can jump in either direction, and double jump is regained.}}

===Taunts===
*{{buff|Up taunt gives ZSS a throwable arm cannon.}}
