Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Shulk's model features a more subdued color scheme. In addition to losing most of the glossy sheen from his clothes and hair, Shulk's clothing now features simple detailing, his face is more defined, and his hair is somewhat less tousled.
• Shulk's muscles are more prominently defined in his shirtless alternate costume.

Aerial attacks

• Neutral aerial appears to have been sped up.
• Down aerial has a faster startup and increased range.

Special Moves

• Monado Arts can now be selected quicker by holding the Special button, holding the stick in a direction, then releasing the Special button. His Monado Arts are mapped to the following: up for Smash, upper left for Jump, lower left for Speed, upper right for Buster, and lower right for Shield. The previous method of selecting Monado Arts has still been retained.
  • They can also be switched mid-Monado art without needing to cancel the current one, opening up more combo potential through switching from certain Monado Arts.
• Back Slash starts faster.
• Fiora appears during Chain Attack, attacking with Shulk in addition to Riki and Dunban. Camera angles have been adjusted to accommodate for her. Additionally, Riki and Dunban have more detailed models.

Trivia

• Shulk's pose in his official render resembles the pose he performs when selecting Monado Arts from the move's menu.
