Squirtle is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Aesthetics
Much like other characters, Squirtle always faces the screen regardless of which direction its facing, making its stance mirrored.- Squirtle has a new dash animation that involves surfing on a water wave.
- Squirtle has a more upright stance.
Attributes
Squirtle's running speed is much faster.
Ground attacks
- Neutral attack deals slightly more total damage: 9% → 9.4%.
- Forward tilt deals slightly more damage: 6% → 6.2%.
- Squirtle has a new down tilt. While it only hits once, has further reach and deals more damage: 5% → 10.1%.
- Forward smash deals more damage: 14% → 19.3%.
- Up smash activates faster and reaches much higher, along with being slightly stronger.
- Squirtle no longer leaps up during its up smash.
Aerial attacks
- Squirtle has a new neutral aerial: a midair cartwheel.
- Forward aerial has additional water effects alongside the kick.
- Back aerial is a multi-hit move, and has Squirtle spin in a horizontal corkscrew while stretching out its tail.
Special moves
- Water Gun charges much faster and covers significantly more distance, able to reach the entirety of Battlefield when fully charged and having enough pushing force to KO off-stage opponents by pushing them into the blast zone.
- Withdraw is much faster and deals more damage: 8% → 11%.
Withdraw now stops on impact, preventing it from racking up further damage.
