Bayonetta (SSB4)

Line 15:

Bayonetta currently ranks 1st out of 58 on the tier list, making her the highest-ranked DLC character, newcomer, and third-party character. Bayonetta's top placing is primarily due to her powerful combo game; almost all of her attacks can reliably combo into one another, leading to powerful 50/50 mixups at high percentages, and she even has [[zero-to-death]] potential. Furthermore, a majority of her best KO attacks can be easily comboed into, and she can also start combos by using [[Witch Time]] or [[Bat Within]] on opponents who make mistakes, giving her a safe approach; further bolstering her approach is a number of decent zoning options, such as [[Bullet Climax]] and her unique [[Bullet Arts]]. Bayonetta also boasts a long, safe recovery with both [[After Burner Kick]] and [[Witch Twist]] granting significant distance, directional flexibility, and enormous hitboxes, which is further supplemented with her ability to [[wall jump]] and [[wall cling]]. She herself is capable of edge-guarding many characters with her quick aerials, including several which can become [[sex kick]]s if held and a number of powerful grounded options as well, such as a large and powerful [[meteor]] smash in her down smash.

~~Despite being in top tier however, Bayonetta is not flawless.~~ Bayonetta's primary flaw is her poor frame data on the ground, with many of her grounded attacks coming out on frame 9 or later, as well as frequently having high cooldown lag, especially on her smash attacks. Some of her specials gain more landing lag the more she uses them in the air, making her landings relatively exploitable if her combos whiff. Furthermore, despite her long recovery, Bayonetta is still considered a lightweight, and when considering her large [[hurtbox]], she is easier to hit and KO than most other characters. Finally, players must exercise caution with her Witch Time, due to its poor effectiveness on multi-hitting moves, and its lowering efficiency if used too often.

Bayonetta has historically achieved excellent tournament results and representation, even after she received infamous nerfs in 1.1.6, with {{Sm|Pink Fresh}} winning [[2GGT: KTAR Saga]] with her, along with players like {{Sm|Mistake}} and {{Sm|CaptainZack}} placing high in nationals such as [[Super Smash Con 2017]] and [[GENESIS 4]] respectively, while {{Sm|Salem}} most notably achieved success from winning [[EVO_2017|EVO 2017]], [[DreamHack Atlanta 2017]] and [[2GGC: Fire Emblem Saga]].
