Corrin (カムイ, Kamui) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Corrin is classified as fighter #62.

As in Smash 4, both the male and female versions of Corrin are playable, and the English voicework from the same game done by Cam Clarke and Marcella Lentz-Pope have been repurposed for Ultimate.

How to unlock

Complete one of the following:

• Play VS. matches, with Corrin being the 41st character to be unlocked.
• Clear Classic Mode with Kirby or any character in his unlock tree, being the sixth character unlocked after Robin.
• Have Corrin join the player's party in World of Light.

With the exception of the third method, Corrin must then be defeated on Coliseum.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Corrin's model features a more subdued color scheme.
• Corrin's high knockback voice clips, previously only heard in SSB4's Sound Test, are now used properly.
• Corrin now has a unique victory theme, based upon Lost in Thoughts All Alone.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Corrin's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete (down from 6).
• Corrin dashes faster (1.45 → 1.595).
• Corrin walks faster (1.15 → 1.208).
• Corrin's air speed is higher (0.97 → 1.019).
• Corrin's double jump covers less distance.

Ground Attacks

• Neutral attack:
  • The third hit of neutral attack is now an outward slash rather than a stab.
    • The individual hits of Corrin's infinite are much faster, and trap opponents more reliably.
• Dash attack:
  • Dash attack has less end lag.
• Forward smash:
  • Forward smash now has a water hit effect.

Aerial Attacks

• All aerials, except down aerial, have less landing lag (Neutral: frame 13 → 10, Forward: 14 → 8, Back: 14 → 13, Up: 15 → 9).
• Forward aerial:
  • Forward aerial has more startup.
• Back aerial:
  • Back aerial pushes Corrin farther forward, which improves its safety and recovery potential.
• Down aerial:
  • Down aerial's landing hit deals more knockback.

Throws/other attacks

• Standing grab has increased start-up lag and ending lag, and dash grab has increased ending lag.
• Corrin has a new pummel, a knee-kick. It is additionally faster than his previous pummel.
• Forward throw:
  • Forward throw has lower base knockback.
• Down throw:
  • Down throw has considerably higher knockback, making it better for KOs.

Special Moves

• Dragon Fang Shot:
  • Dragon Fang Shot has had its stun time decreased.
  • Dragon Fang Shot has had its knockback angle decreased, thus preventing follow-ups from back aerial, Dragon Lunge, and a fully charged Dragon Fang Bite.
• Dragon Lunge:
  • Dragon Lunge can now be canceled by pressing down on the control stick.
  • The opponent can act out of Dragon Lunge if you attempt to cancel it.
  • The kick portion of Dragon Lunge has Corrin slant towards the ground during the kick itself, rather than after. This, combined with the slower speed of the kick, ends up reducing the distance that the kick travels, which reduces its utility, and makes it easier to punish.
  • Dragon Lunge Kick now travels a shorter distance.
  • Pinned Dragon Lunge will end automatically if left idle much faster than before.
  • Dragon Lunge now has less range due to Corrin's lower position when performing it.
  • After performing Dragon Lunge, Corrin cannot perform a full hop or neutral aerial.
• Draconic Ascent:
  • Draconic Ascent starts faster.
  • Draconic Ascent halts at the end of the move instead of granting slight momentum, reducing its recovery potential.
  • Draconic Ascent has had its knockback increased dramatically.
• Counter Surge:
  • Counter Surge now has slightly more active frames.
  • The counterattack no longer covers him from above, which gives it less vertical range and making it unsafe from opponents attacking above him. It also deals dramatically less knockback, no longer being one of the strongest counterattacks in the game.
  • The counterattack has more ending lag.

Classic Mode: Between White and Black

As the name suggests, Corrin's opponents are all in either white or black alternate costumes, referencing Corrin's struggle in choosing between Nohr and Hoshido.

Role in World of Light
