Bayonetta in ''Smash 4'' was considered by many players as the best character in the game, even after having received [[nerf]]s in updates, due to many of her extreme advantages remaining intact, including most infamously her ability to KO opponents at virtually any percentage with successful [[ladder]] | Bayonetta in ''Smash 4'' was considered by many players as the best character in the game, even after having received [[nerf]]s in updates, due to many of her extreme advantages remaining intact, including most infamously her ability to KO opponents at virtually any percentage with successful [[ladder combo]]s. These traits often caused players to label her as "[[broken]]", and many matches involving her became controversial, including one at the [[Super Smash Bros. Invitational 2018]], where the top professional Bayonetta player {{Sm|MkLeo}} pulled off a ladder KO in front of [[Masahiro Sakurai]]. Possibly as a result of these events, Bayonetta has been significantly nerfed in the transition to ''Ultimate'', and is by far the most nerfed character in the game, in a similar vein to {{SSB4|Meta Knight}} in ''Smash 4''. | ||
Bayonetta's most reliable combo starters have been weakened, with her up tilt, down tilt and forward aerial all having more ending lag; the latter in particular has been affected the most significantly, no longer allowing for any followups other than the next hits of the move. [[Witch Twist]] also has more startup and grants less distance, reducing its effectiveness as a combo starter, out of shield option and followup from other moves. Adding to this, all of Bayonetta's special moves have received nerfs that make them more punishable: [[Bullet Climax]]'s charge takes longer to cancel, [[Heel Slide]] and [[After Burner Kick]]'s followup hits can no longer be used if they hit a shield, Witch Twist takes much longer to grab ledges, and [[Witch Time]] slows down opponents for much shorter except at very high percentages, alongside having noticeably more startup and ending lag. | Bayonetta's most reliable combo starters have been weakened, with her up tilt, down tilt and forward aerial all having more ending lag; the latter in particular has been affected the most significantly, no longer allowing for any followups other than the next hits of the move.
