Charizard is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

  • Change As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Charizard's model features a more subdued color scheme. It more closely resembles its appearance in recent mainline Pokémon titles as a consequence. Its model and textures otherwise appear unchanged.
  • Change Charizard now hangs onto the edge with one hand instead of two.
  • Change Charizard has a new down throw animation where he hovers a bit.

Attributes

  • Buff Charizard's mid air jumps carry it higher than before.
  • Buff When grabbing the ledge, Charizard's head no longer peaks above it. This makes it harder to attack Charizard when he's vulnerable.

Ground attacks

  • Nerf Charizard's jab combo now requires specific timing of each input to deal maximum damage.
  • Nerf Charizard's up tilt has lower vertical range.
  • Buff Charizard's forward smash is slightly stronger (17% → 19%).

Aerial attacks

  • Buff Neutral aerial causes Charizard's tail flame to grow, making it easier to sweetspot. Its overall speed and power has also been increased (sweetspot/sourspot: 12% → 15% / 9% → 12%). In addition, its landing lag has been decreased significantly (20 frames → 13 frames).
  • Nerf Neutral aerial's autocancel window is unchanged, effectively increasing its ending lag before it can autocancel. However, this may be mitigated by the decrease in landing lag.
  • Buff Charizard pulls his head back during forward aerial, effectively increasing its disjoint range.
  • Nerf Forward aerial no longer autocancels out of a shorthop.
  • Buff Back aerial has increased vertical range.
  • Nerf Charizard's down aerial has increased ending lag.

Throws/other attacks

  • Nerf Down throw has a little more ending lag. However, this is offset by the reduction in his jumpsquat.

Special Moves

  • Buff Flamethrower has significantly larger hitboxes. Additionally, its size does not decrease as fast.
  • Buff Flare Blitz is significantly stronger (19% → 26%) and deals even more knockback.
  • Nerf Flare Blitz causes Charizard to enter a tumble animation for a longer period of time after impact.
  • Buff Fly's distance has greatly increased, allowing Charizard to recover to the ledge of Battlefield from the stage's lowest point.
  • Buff Fly's hitboxes were increased in size, making it link better.
  • Nerf Fly's knockback has been reduced.
  • Buff Pokémon Change can now be used in the air and is much quicker. Like in Brawl, it also offers brief invincibility upon switching out, though the quicker switch time allows it to potentially combo into another Pokémon's moves, or function somewhat as an alternative "air dodge". It also allows the user to essentially choose the recovery that suits a situation best.
    • Nerf Spamming Pokémon Change will grant no invincibility frames for a period of time. Pokemon Change also has a cooldown of around two seconds.
  • Nerf Now that it is once again part of the Pokémon Trainer rotation, Charizard's down special, Rock Smash, has been replaced with Pokémon Change, effectively eliminating Rock Smash from its moveset.
  • Change Charizard's Final Smash has been reverted from Mega Charizard X to Triple Finish.
