Swap (チェンジ, Change), officially referred to as Swap to Mythra (ヒカリチェンジ, Hikari Change) and Swap to Pyra (ホムラチェンジ, Homura Change), is Pyra and Mythra's down special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It allows Pyra and Mythra to turn into each other.

Overview

Like Zelda and Sheik in Melee, Swap is a very fast switch between Pyra and Mythra. The move is actually faster than any transformation move in the series, being almost to the same effect as a spot dodge. Pyra/Mythra are granted some intangibility during the swap. Both have quotes they will say when swapping to the other:

Pyra

To Mythra:

  • "Switching!"
  • "To you!"
  • "Mythra!

From Mythra:

  • "Right here!"
  • "Got it!"

Mythra

To Pyra:

  • "Swap!"
  • "All yours!"
  • "Pyra!"

From Pyra:

  • "Let me at 'em!"
  • "You're done!"

Origin

After both Pyra and Mythra become playable in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, the player can freely swap between them during battle to use their unique abilities and special moves. This mechanic was recreated in the context of Smash.
