Changes from Super Smash Bros. Brawl

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
Ivysaur's design and proportions now match its appearance in more recent Pokémon titles. Its flower bud has multiple layers of petals and a smoother texture.- Ivysaur is much more expressive than it was in Brawl.
- Ivysaur always faces the screen regardless of which direction it turns. This also causes its moveset to be mirrored.
Attributes
Like all characters, Ivysaur's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.- The Stamina mechanic has been removed, eliminating the necessity of switching out Pokémon to restore their power.
- The removal of edgehogging improves Ivysaur's tether-dependent recovery.
Ground attacks
- Rapid jab now has a finishing hit - a double vine slap.
- Forward tilt has more range and deals more damage.
- Down tilt hits only once instead of twice.
- Dash attack has a new animation, with Ivysaur performing a shoulder charge/headbutt.
- Down smash has much more range.
Aerial Attacks
- Neutral aerial has a new animation where Ivysaur points its bud towards the screen and spins its leaves, hitting 6 times.
- Neutral aerial has more range than the previous one, and its hitboxes are disjointed.
Neutral aerial has more landing lag.- Back aerial's first hit has slightly more startup lag, although the second hit is unchanged. Both hits have slightly less range.
- Up aerial no longer causes Ivysaur to fast fall. This makes it easier to use as a conventional aerial attack and less risky to use offstage.
- Up aerial is more punishable since Ivysaur no longer launches itself away from the opponent.
- Down aerial's entire hitbox is a spike rather than having a small sweetspot and a large sourspot. It also no longer halts Ivysaur's horizontal momentum.
Throws/other attacks
- Standing grab has less end lag.
Special Moves
- Bullet Seed now has a finishing hit, making it less punishable.
- Bullet Seed's seeds are larger but less numerous.
- Razor Leaf travels faster and the smash input variant travels further.
- Vine Whip can now be angled upward as well as diagonally.
- Vine Whip can no longer be performed out of an airdodge.
- Grounded Vine Whip no longer has a grounded hitbox.
- Pokémon Change can now be used in the air and is much quicker, allowing the user to potentially combo into another Pokémon's moves or choose the recovery move that suits their situation best. Like in Brawl, it also offers brief intangibility during the switch, giving it the functionality of a dodge, even in the air.
- If Pokémon Change is used repeatedly, it will grant no invincibility frames for a period of time. Pokémon Change also has a cooldown of around two seconds.
- Triple Finish has a different text box and animations, making it identical to how they appear in the Generation VII games.
