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 match its appearances in more recent Pokémon games. 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, which causes all of its animations to be mirrored.
Attributes
Like all characters, Ivysaur's jumpsquat animation now takes 3 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
- Neutral attack now has a finishing hit - a double vine slap. This makes it less punishable.
- Forward tilt has increased range.
- Forward tilt 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 increased 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 increased range, and its hitboxes are disjointed.
Neutral aerial has more landing lag.
- Back aerial's first hit has slightly more startup frames, and 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.
- Down aerial 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 no longer causes helplessness.
- 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 2 seconds.
- Triple Finish has a different text box and updated animations, closely resembling the aesthetics of the Generation VII Pokémon games.
Role in World of Light
Pokémon Trainer was among the fighters that were summoned to fight against the army of Master Hands, and he brought his three Pokémon with him.
Ivysaur was sent out by Pokémon Trainer, along with Squirtle and Charizard, shortly before Galeem unleashed its beams of light. Under Pokémon Trainer's command, Ivysaur used Solar Beam in an attempt to fight the beams of light, but this attempt failed. Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard were all vaporized and transformed into spirits along with the other fighters, excluding Kirby.
