Charizard has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4''. While it has been buffed overall, its status as a member of {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}'s team to a standalone character has changed it. Charizard is a generally better character than how it was in ''Brawl'' (when not counting {{SSBB|Ivysaur}} and {{SSBB|Squirtle}}) and no longer has to contend with running out of [[Pokémon Change#Stamina|stamina]]. Additionally, its learning curve, while moderately high, is much lower than Pokémon Trainer's. However, it lacks other Pokémon as teammates that are better suited for specific matchups, making it less adaptable than Pokémon Trainer | Charizard has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4''.

Like {{SSB4|Pit}} and {{SSB4|Meta Knight}}, the removal of gliding has greatly weakened Charizard's recovery. Its new side special, Flare Blitz, is not as flexible for horizontal recovery like gliding was. | ||
The rest of its moveset has been re-balanced in other ways: its faster attacks (such as neutral attack, neutral aerial and forward tilt) are slightly weaker, many of its KOing options are stronger at the cost of some speed, and its grab game is stronger both in terms of combo and KO potentials. As a super heavyweight, Charizard benefits greatly from the addition of the [[rage]] mechanic; in fact, the recoil from Flare Blitz can act as a positive due to it bringing Charizard closer to utilizing rage sooner. Additionally, many of its moves (most notably its special moves) grant it [[super armor]], while its overall mobility is much better. Despite a somewhat slower [[air speed]], Charizard's already fast dash speed has become even faster, now being the ninth fastest in the game, while its walk speed has also become drastically faster, having gone from being the slowest in ''Brawl'' to being tied with {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}'s as the fifteenth fastest in ''SSB4''. | The rest of its moveset has been re-balanced in other ways: its faster attacks (such as neutral attack, neutral aerial and forward tilt) are slightly weaker, many of its KOing options are stronger at the cost of some speed, and its grab game is stronger both in terms of combo and KO potentials.
