 * Haohmaru jumps into the Battlefield!

Haohmaru is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Daiki Nakamura, who has been voicing the character since Samurai Shodown 64, reprise his role in this game.

Attributes
As a middle-lightweight, Haohmaru is one of the most strongest swordwielders in the game, as his attacks (especially his Smash attacks) are slow, yet very powerful, devastating his opponents very easily. He also runs very fast, but his attacking speed are a little slow, leaving him open to be attacked.

Moveset

 * Haohmaru can lose his sword by getting hit by either a Final Smash or Special Moves at high percentage, altering his entire moveset to just being punches, which also loses all of his Special Moves, but it can be brought back after enough time has passed.
 * Haohmaru's Deflection mechanic from Smaurai Shodown V can stun an opponent for a little while after doing a perfect shield via the ↓ ↙ ← → command and release the shield button.
 * Taking from his series, he has the Rage Gauce, which fills up whenever Haohmaru gets damaged, filling up to the max will make his red skin and increase his strength for a long period of time, usually 20 seconds or so.
 * When he hits opponents with Smash attacks, the game intentionally slows down, replicating the way his games does after delivering a hard hit to the enemy.
 * Like his fighting game fellas, he has command inputs to his Special Moves, which the A/B button is listed as the Slash icon in the pause menu and always faces his opponent in one-on-one matches.

Taunts

 * Up Taunt: Haohmaru leans back, then fakes it with a shrug while saying "Senpuu... not!"
 * Side Taunt: Haohmaru takes out his sake flesk and drinks, then spits on his sword while saying "What's wrong?".
 * Down Taunt: Haohmaru drops his sword to the ground. This taunt affect his gameplay entirely, as he will be unnarmed for the rest of his match. The only way to get it back is by using it again when close.

On-Screen Appearance

 * Jumps onto the battlefield and poses while shouting "Let's do this!". This is a reference to the old games where he jumps backward along with his opponent before the match begins.

Victory Poses

 * Up: Haohmaru throws his sword in the air and uses the mount to catch it in his back, then smiles at the camera. This is his recurring victory pose since the first game.
 * Side: Haohmaru drinks in his sake flesk, then throws it in the air and catches it with the mount of the sword, hanging it, then smiles.
 * Down: Haohmaru performs a down and up swing before striking a pose.
