According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Bayonetta was added to the game as the winner of the [[Super Smash Bros. 4 Official Site|Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot]], being the highest-voted character in Europe, and among the top 5 in North America, making her the overall #1 worldwide among realizable and negotiable characters. It was later revealed on October 5th, 2021 in "{{h2|Mr. Sakurai Presents|Battling with Sora}}" that [[Disney]]'s [[Sora]] had the most votes, but was passed over for unspecified reasons. Her default appearance is based on her redesign for ''[http://bayonetta.wikia.com/wiki/Bayonetta_2 Bayonetta 2]'', but with slightly modified proportions, most notably in her height. Bayonetta's English voice actress, Hellena Taylor, and her Japanese voice actress, Atsuko Tanaka, both reprise their roles in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. | ||
Bayonetta ranks 1st out of 55 on the tier list, making her the highest-ranked DLC character, sole fighter from a series, newcomer, and third-party character, in addition to being the highest ranked character overall. Bayonetta's top placing is primarily due to her unrivaled 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. | Bayonetta ranks 1st out of 55 on the tier list, making her the highest-ranked DLC character, sole fighter from a series, newcomer, and third-party character, in addition to being the highest ranked character overall.
