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, Bayonetta's model features a more subdued color scheme.
• Love is Blue and Scarborough Fair have louder sound effects to distinguish the two.
• Bayonetta's taunts are sped up.

Aerial Attacks

• Held neutral aerial appears to have increased landing lag.
• Forward aerial's knockback appears to have been altered. This means that the first hit of it can no longer combo into After Burner Kick.
• Down aerial's knockback appears to have been lowered.

Special moves

• Bullet Climax's charge can no longer be cancelled by shielding, rolling, or air dodging.
• If the first hit of Heel Slide is blocked by a shield, she will be unable to use the second hit.
• Downwards After Burner Kick can no longer be autocancelled.
• Witch Twist has increased startup.
• Witch Time no longer grants intangibility when used, and its effect duration has been significantly lowered. It also has increased ending lag and cannot be interrupted as early.
• The screen turns dark whenever someone is affected by Witch Time.

Throws/other attacks

• Bayonetta's hand now grabs characters using a form of umbran magic, as seen via a slightly updated animation where she swings her hand around, which is sparkling with a noticeable umbran purple.

Trivia

• In the E3 2018 demo build of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a possible bug allowed Bayonetta to perform her infamous triple jump glitch while performing Witch Twist, which was especially noted during the match between Plup and MkLeo.
