Corrin (カムイ, Kamui) is an upcoming character and newcomer in Super Smash Bros. 4 as the sixth downloadable character. Corrin was announced during the Super Smash Bros. - Final Video Presentation on December 15th, 2015, and will be released sometime in February 2016 alongside Bayonetta, who was also announced on the same day. Like the Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, and Robin, players can select either male and female variants of Corrin as like in Fire Emblem Fates.

Attributes

Moveset

An icon for denoting incomplete things.

Ground attacks

  • Neutral attack: Corrin pokes the opponent with a transformed hand, slashes them upwards with his sword, and performs a turning outward slash to finish the combo. If the rapid-jab was initiated, Corrin then transforms his free arm into a draconic mouth that repeatedly bites the opponent until finishing with a final bite.
  • Dash attack: Corrin spins forward in a corkscrew-like manner. Functions like a drill attack in that it deals multiple hits.
  • Forward tilt: Corrin swings his sword downwards akin to Roy's forward tilt but in a proper grip.
  • Up tilt: Corrin performs a twirling upwards slash with their sword, similar to Robin's up tilt but with more range.
  • Down tilt: Corrin slashes Omega Yato across the ground, similar to Ike's down tilt.

Smash attacks

  • Forward smash: Corrin extends his arm into a spear and stabs them away. Has tremendous reach and can be angled. The tip is the most powerful part. When charging, he holds Omega Yato's chainsaw blades up close, which can repeatedly cut his opponent.
  • Up smash: Corrin crouches and transforms his arms into Dragon Fangs, pointing them upward to launch opponents. The tips are the most powerful parts.
  • Down smash: Corrin transforms one of his legs into a Dragon Fang, then launches opponents on both sides with his sword and Dragon Fang leg. Animation is similar to the Mii Brawler's down smash. The tip of Corrin's leg is very powerful if struck with.

Aerial attacks

  • Neutral aerial: Corrin slashes with the Omega Yato from above to behind them and uses Dragon Fang to slash in front of him with his transformed arm.
  • Forward aerial: Corrin slashes forward with the Omega Yato, similar to Marth's, Roy's, and Lucina's forward aerials respectively.
  • Back aerial: Corrin sprouts dragon wings and uses them to attack behind him. Can be used for recoveries as it propels Corrin forward, like R.O.B.'s back aerial.
  • Up aerial: Corrin swipes with his sword above him, closely resembling Marth's, Roy's, Lucina's, and Robin's up aerials respectively (especially the former three's).
  • Down aerial: Corrin's legs morph into spears with Dragon Fang as he zooms downward feet first. A stall-then-fall that hits multiple times.

Throws

  • Pummel: Corrin hits his opponent with Omega Yato's hilt, similar to Shulk's pummel.
  • Forward throw: Corrin transforms his arm and stabs his opponent with it, knocking them upwards away from him.
  • Back throw: Corrin places his opponent behind him and stabs them upwards with his transformed arm, knocking them away from him.
  • Up throw: Corrin lifts his opponent above him and assumes his dragon form, headbutting them skyward and reverting back to human form.

Floor

  • Back: Corrin swipes Omega Yato outward from front to back as they get up.

Trivia

  • Corrin is the only first-party DLC newcomer.
  • Corrin is the newest character to be introduced as playable in Super Smash Bros. 4, with his debut game post-dating SSB4's release by nine months in Japan.
  • Corrin is the second playable Fire Emblem character to debut in Super Smash Bros. before all of their origin games' intended releases, sharing this distinction with Roy.
  • Corrin is the only DLC character to have a male and female variant, making Corrin the second Fire Emblem character to have this trait, following Robin.
  • Female Corrin's inner thighs are covered with black pants, unlike in Fire Emblem Fates.
  • Corrin's known Dragon Fang attacks outnumber his known sword attacks unlike other Fire Emblem characters, with a total of 16 to 11 (including attacks that use sword and Dragon Fang attacks).
  • Despite his prominently-featured ability to transform into a dragon by way of his dragon heritage, Corrin is not actually the first Fire Emblem character represented in Smash who can have such a distinction. Roy can be 1/4 Manakete if the half-Manakete Ninian marries Eliwood and becomes Roy's mother. Robin has Fell Dragon Blood due to being the Fell Dragon Grima themselves, and Lucina can inherit Fell Dragon Blood if a female Robin is her mother.
  • Corrin and Roy are the only two DLC fighters from the same universe.
  • Corrin is the only DLC newcomer that does not come packed with a stage. However, downloading and installing him on the Wii U version adds two music tracks from Fire Emblem Fates to the existing Fire Emblem stages Castle Siege and Coliseum.
