Corrin (SSBU): Difference between revisions

Cam Clarke and Marcella Lentz-Pope reprise their roles in the English version of ''Ultimate'', voicing male and female Corrin respectively, albeit through recycled voice clips from ''Smash 4''. Nobunaga Shimazaki and Satomi Satō also reprise their roles as the male and female Corrin in the Japanese version of the game, also with recycled voice clips from ''Smash 4''.

**{{buff|The first and second hits have altered angles (60°/92°/110° → 361°/180° (hit 1), 64°/79°/90° → 361° (hit 2)) to keep opponents close to Corrin, and inflict 2 additional frames of [[hitstun]], allowing them to connect better and [[jab lock]].}}

**{{buff|The neutral infinite has a shorter gap between hits (5 frames → 4), a lower [[hitlag]] multiplier (1× → 0.5×) and [[SDI]] multiplier (1× → 0.6×), and deals less knockback (8 base/40 scaling → 10/20) while inflicting 2 additional frames of hitstun per hit. This allows it to connect more reliably and makes it much harder to escape.}}

**{{nerf|All hits except the second and the neutral infinite's finisher deal less damage (3% → 2.5% (hit 1, tipper), 3.3%/5% → 3%/4% (hit 3), 0.9% → 0.5% (infinite)), with knockback scaling only partly compensated on the third hit's sweetspot (140 → 150), reducing its KO potential.}}

**{{nerf|The first, second and third hits have a higher hitlag multiplier (1×/1.4× → 1.5×/1.6× (hit 1), 1× → 1.2× (hit 2), 1×/1.4× → 1.8×/2× (hit 3)), giving opponents more time to SDI the first two and [[DI]] the last one.}}

**{{nerf|The neutral infinite's finisher deals less knockback (52 base/150 scaling → 85/90), reducing its KO potential.}}

**{{change|The neutral infinite's finisher launches at a lower angle (50° → 40°), no longer being the same as the third hit's.}}

**{{change|It launches at a noticeably lower angle, more akin to other forward tilts (70° → 45°). This removes its juggling potential, and reduces its KO ability from center stage, but improves it more drastically near edges.}}

**{{buff|It has altered hitbox timings with shorter gaps between hits (frames 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26 → 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 23), and the looping hits have a lower hitlag multiplier (1× → 0.5×). This allows it to connect more reliably and makes it harder to escape.}}

**{{change|The loop hits launch at a minimally lower angle (15° → 14°), and their innermost hitboxes have more set knockback (55/12 → 65/25).}}

**{{buff|The ability to hold smash attack charges for two additional seconds benefits forward smash, allowing Corrin to extend the duration of the looping charge hits and thus deal more damage.}}

**{{buff|The sourspots have higher knockback scaling (99 → 103), slightly improving their KO potential.}}

***{{nerf|However, this removes the late sweetspot, and shortens the move's hitbox duration (frames 17-22 → 17-18). This hinders the sweetspot's KO potential, despite its slightly higher knockback scaling (105 → 107).}}

**{{nerf|The move has drastically smaller hitboxes (3.5u/3u/2.2u → 2u/1.7u/1.1u).}}

**{{change|The sweetspot has a higher hitlag multiplier (1× → 1.5×).}}

**{{buff|Up smash has a longer hitbox duration (frames 13-15 → 13-17).}}

**{{buff|The sweetspot has increased knockback scaling (86 → 91) and vertical range (Y offset: 27 → 30), improving its KO potential and making it easier to land.}}

**{{nerf|The back hit's sweetspot has lower knockback scaling (95 → 85), hindering its KO potential.}}

*{{buff|All aerials except down aerial have less landing lag (13 frames → 10 (neutral), 14 → 8 (forward), 14 → 13 (back), 15 → 9 (up)). This noticeably improves Corrin's combo ability overall, due to all but back and down aerial launching opponents vertically.}}

**{{nerf|All grabs have more ending lag (FAF 31 → 37 (standing), 38 → 45 (dash), 36 → 40 (pivot)).}}

**{{nerf|Dash and pivot grab have more startup (frame 8 → 10 (dash), 9 → 11 (pivot)).}}

**{{nerf|Back throw's tipper has lower knockback scaling (110 → 100), reducing its KO ability against bystanders.}}

**{{buff|A fully charged shot has less base knockback (50 → 40), but more knockback scaling (80 → 90), improving its KO potential.}}

**{{buff|A fully charged bite has more base knockback (10 → 28), allowing it to KO even earlier.}}

**{{nerf|A non-fully charged shot deals slightly less knockback overall (30/50 base/80 scaling → 20/30/90), and the shot has a much lower hitlag multiplier at all levels of charge (1.3× → 0.3× (uncharged), 0.5× (charged)), paralyzing opponents for a considerably shorter time as a result. This makes it much harder to follow up on, even into the subsequent bite attack.}}

**{{nerf|The changes to [[jostle]] mechanics significantly hinder the safety of the kicks, especially combined with the aforementioned changes, as they can no longer go through [[shield]]ing opponents, making them much easier to punish.}}

**{{nerf|The early hit of the back kick deals less knockback (70 base/110 scaling → 63/100).}}

**{{nerf|Counter Surge deals less knockback (clean: 90 base/74 scaling → 87/68, late: 90/68 → 85/66), which compensates for its higher minimum damage if a countered move is weak enough, but drastically reduces its KO ability otherwise. Additionally, the late hit no longer has a higher damage multiplier, instead being consistent throughout (1.2×/1.3× → 1.2×). As a result, it is no longer the strongest counterattack in the game without knockback modifications.}}

**{{nerf|It has more ending lag both when missed (FAF 64 → 67) and upon a successful counterattack (FAF 50 → 67), most significantly in the latter case. This removes its combo potential, hinders the effectiveness of consecutive counters (additionally removing the infinite Counter Surge performed by two Corrins), and causes Corrin to no longer be intangible for the entire duration of a counterattack.}}

**{{change|It has a higher hitlag multiplier (1× → 1.2×).}}

Corrin has been buffed via game updates, but only received few noteworthy buffs. Forward smash's charging loop hits connect better and Dragon Ascent has 3 more invincibility frames, connects better and the last hit deals more knockback.
