Greninja (ゲッコウガ, Gekkouga) 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, Greninja's model features a slightly more subdued color scheme. Its model and textures otherwise appear unchanged.
  • Change As with most fighters, Greninja's attacks have enhanced particle effects.

Ground attacks

  • Buff Greninja has a new down tilt which launches at a more upward angle, improving its combo potential.

Special moves

  • Nerf Water Shuriken is smaller when fully charged - this needs to be confirmed.
  • Change Shadow Sneak has a new animation when used. The attacking part of the move is a forward kick instead.
  • Nerf The "eyes" of Greninja's shadow when using Shadow Sneak flash just before release, making it easier for opponents to predict and work around the attack.
  • Change Substitute has more vibrant particles when activated.
  • Buff Substitute activates faster, allowing for an easier hit.
