'''Villager''' ({{ja|むらびと|Murabito}}, ''Murabito'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Villager is classified as fighter #45.

==How to Unlock==

*Clear {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with {{SSBU|Pikachu}} or anyone in his unlock tree, being the 1st character unlocked.

With the exception of the third method, Villager must be defeated on [[Smashville]].

Villager is an unorthodox character with several unique moves, including several standard attacks that are actually projectiles, similar to {{SSBU|Mega Man}}.

Villager possesses a strong [[camping]] game. His forward and backward aerials are long-ranged slingshot attacks which, in combination  with [[Lloid Rocket]], are great for harassing opponents from a distance. Opposing projectiles can either be [[Pocket]]ed or blocked by a [[Timber|tree]]; Pocket can also be used to "steal" character-generated [[item]]s such as {{SSB4|R.O.B.}}'s [[Gyro]], preventing them from being used as long as Villager keeps them and thus further weakening the opponent's ability to compete with him at range. One caveat, though, is that Villager is a character of below-average mobility; in particular, he has the fourth slowest [[dash]]ing speed in the game (albeit still noticeably faster than the bottom three), so once the opponent closes the gap it can be difficult for Villager to create space again. Despite this, Villager possesses three [[sex kick]]s out of his five aerial moves of which all have quick startups, giving him a relatively easy time knocking away an enemy if they approach to point blank range.

Should camping not be desirable, Villager's projectiles can also serve as good [[approach]] tools. In particular, launching Lloid Rocket and then running behind it is a strategy that limits the opponent's options and provides a chance to [[punish]] their reaction. Using his down aerial in a [[short hop]] is also a good approach option, as it is a [[disjointed]] attack with little [[lag]].

Despite being a middleweight character, Villager possesses arguably the best [[recovery]] in the game thanks to {{b|Balloon Trip|move}}. This move allows him to fly a great distance at a respectable speed, and is surprisingly difficult to [[gimp]]; although the balloons can be popped to render Villager [[helpless]], doing so requires two separate hits, and hitting Villager himself will allow him to simply use the move again. Lloid Rocket further bolsters Villager's recovery, as launching it stalls his descent while threatening edgeguarders. Alternatively, Villager can ride Lloid back to the stage, although this is punishable and can be [[reflect]]ed.

Villager is also a very potent [[edgeguard]]er, with a wealth of options to finish recovering foes. His forward smash allows him to drop a bowling ball from the ledge; this is a powerful attack that can be difficult for an opponent recovering low to avoid. If the opponent's recovery is slow enough or a tree is set up beforehand, [[Timber]] can also be used from the ledge for an even more devastating attack, or to reduce an opponent's options should they grab the ledge. Alternatively, Villager can jump offstage and pursue with an aerial attack; his down aerial is a powerful [[meteor smash]] should it produce three turnips, while a clean hit from his slingshot has enough knockback to be deadly near the [[blast line]], and is generally the best choice against an opponent recovering high. Many of his aerials are [[sex kick]]s as well which, when combined with his extremely long-ranged recovery, allows him to [[gimp]] opponents pretty easily.

However, Villager's ability to set up edgeguards in the first place is hampered by his slow [[grab]]. Although his net has relatively long range, it is one of the laggiest grabs in the game, making it very punishable. As such, attempting to throw an opponent offstage is a risky prospect, and Villager's ability to shield-grab is quite limited, although he does have other good [[out of shield]] options, such as his neutral aerial.

Outside of edgeguarding, Villager has multiple powerful KO moves, but none of them are easy to land from a [[neutral game|neutral situation]]. His forward smash, while powerful, is a laggy and short-ranged attack when used onstage. Lloid Rocket has KO power when ridden, but this is slow and predictable. Timber's axe requires a tree to be present and has considerable ending lag, while using the tree itself is slow and requires staying in one place. Villager's up aerial is a strong [[juggling]] move and can score KOs off the upper blast line, but only if luck permits. Pocketing and throwing back a sufficiently strong projectile makes for a deadly attack, generally enough to KO at mid percentages and even instantly shatter full [[shield]]s, but this is matchup-dependent and will not be easily allowed by a smart opponent. Overall, if the opponent maintains control of center stage, Villager can have trouble finding KO opportunities.

Villager is considered a solid character by many in [[competitive play]]. However, outside of Japan, his representation is rather poor.

Villager received relatively few direct changes in their transition to ''Ultimate'', resulting in their core playstyle remaining relatively unchanged, similarly to {{SSBU|Mario}}. When it comes to direct changes, despite being a high tier in ''SSB4'' (25th out of 55 characters), Villager has received a mix of buffs and nerfs, but was directly buffed overall. However, while Villager has received some noteworthy buffs that make their playstyle easier to execute, the indirect changes to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s engine have noticeably toned down its efficacy compared to the rest of the cast, causing them to be overall nerfed.

On the buff side of stuff, Villager's camping abilities have been considerably buffed. [[Pocket]] not only now stores projectiles and items indefinitely, but also has less ending lag after pocketing them, and Villager can now pocket items with a grab. [[Lloid Rocket]] has notably increased knockback at low percentages, allowing Villager to win the neutral game easier. Villager's aerials all have less landing lag, and down aerial now has a sweetspot that always meteor smashes, instead of doing it if they use three turnips; these changes further improve their dominant air game. Villager's ground game has seen a few improvements as well: their jab has now a rapid jab and a finisher, significantly improving safety its damage racking ability, down tilt's sourspot is stronger, their dash attack is much faster, their up smash connects better and has improved KO potential and down smash has increased range and more base knockback, making it more reliable for burying and harder to escape from. Villager's grab game also has been improved: their grabs are much faster and can pocket items, while their throws have both better edge guarding potential (forward and back throws) and combo potential (down throw). Villager's previously mediocre mobility has also been improved, while the universal 3-frame jumpsquat further improving their combo potential, notably with their throws. Lastly, the changes made to [[air dodging]] noticeably benefit Villager, as they can more easily punish opponents after a mistake, giving their aerial attacks further utility and notably improving their [[edge-guarding]] ability.

On the nerf side, however, Villager also received some notable direct nerfs. Most of Villager's ground attacks also have more ending lag and/or less range, while the raw power throughout their standard moveset has been toned down, notably on their forward smash and all tilt attacks; for the latter point, up tilt is no longer among the strongest of its kind in the game. Their moveset's lower raw power is also exacerbated by the weakening of [[rage]], which forces Villager to rely much more on edge-guarding to take a stock. Down aerial also had its startup nearly doubled, making it harder for Villager to combat juggling. Their previously heavily disjointed pivot grab has much less range, counterbalancing some of the benefits their grab game has received. The changes to jab this remove its ability to reliably [[jab cancel]] and removes their kill confirm from ''Smash 4'' to [[Timber]]'s axe. While Villager's recovery remains incredibly long-distanced, it has been nerfed nonetheless, as the helium for [[Balloon Trip]] now takes longer to recharge, which allows opponents to edgeguard Villager much more easily. Villager is also noticeably lighter, which further hurts their survivability and doesn't allow them to make use of rage as effectively.

However, while their direct nerfs are not as significant as their buffs, Villager is significantly harmed by the indirect changes to gameplay mechanics, likely more than any other character. Villager's floaty physics and camping-focused playstyle, whose core is essentially unchanged from ''Smash 4'', fare worse with the universal changes made to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s engine, as the universal increase in mobility prioritizes faster-paced, more aggressive gameplay; most characters are now able to get past Villager's zoning tools with less issue, while Villager's own faster mobility doesn't properly compensate for this. Alongside with nerfs to Balloon Trip, edge-guarding being more prominent again further hurts Villager's survivability. Most projectile-based veteran characters, such as {{SSBU|Young Link}}, {{SSBU|Pac-Man}} and {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}} have also received buffs that address some of their issues against opposing camping, whereas newcomers {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}} have camping abilities that are just as strong, alongside greater range on their standard moveset. Combined with the nerfs to their raw power and the weakening of rage, most if not all of these characters are now capable of overcoming Villager, further reducing the effectiveness of their strong camping game despite being greatly buffed.

Overall, Villager's gameplan is largely the same as in ''Smash 4'' as a result of receiving less direct changes than most of the cast; however, the significantly changed environment renders their playstyle much less effective, meaning Villager fares noticeably worse in ''Ultimate'' than in ''Smash 4''. Some professionals think that Villager's playstyle has became so much less effective that they are potentially a low-tier character, whereas previously they were a high-tier in ''Smash 4''. This reflects to their tournament representation, as they are an even rarer pick in tournaments than before. However, while Villager's tournament results are below average in amount, they have had a few strong results thanks to the efforts of players including {{sm|BobbyWasabi}}, {{sm|Panda Bair}}, and particularly {{sm|kept}}. As a result, Villager's true viability in tournaments is up for debate.

|neutralname= 

|neutraldesc=A quick series of alternating punches with boxing gloves that end with a strong straight jab at the end. It no longer jab cancel because of the new finisher. However, it can rack up a great amount of damage quickly.  

|ftiltname= 

|ftiltdesc=Swings a Paw Umbrella (using its design from WW/CF) horizontally. Good disjointed range.

|utiltname= 

|dtiltname= 

|dashname= 

|fsmashname=Bowling Ball

|usmashname= 

|usmashdesc=Detonates a fountain firework, creating an explosion above themself. It has a fairly large hitbox and pulls opponents to the center of the blast, although it does not always connect properly and opponents can be knocked out of the move by any of the first few hits, especially at very high percentages. It can KO most characters at about 120%.

|dsmashname=Dig

|dsmashdesc=Takes out a shovel and digs in front, then behind themself. Fast startup for a smash attack, making it a decent out of shield option. It can bury grounded opponents; opponents in the air instead have weak knockback inflicted to them. This is the only smash attack in the series that cannot KO when grounded. It has moderate ending lag, and it can follow-up into Village's strongest attacks like forward smash if the opponent is at high percentages.  

|nairname= 

|fairname= 

|fairdesc=Fires a slingshot pellet that travels slightly less than half the length of Final Destination. The pellet deals low knockback and deals even less knockback if hit in the final frames, similar to Mega Man's neutral air. The pellet does moderate knockback at point-blank range, which is deadly especially offstage.

|bairname= 

|bairdesc=Like the forward aerial, but aimed backward. It has a slightly slower startup but deals more knockback and damage compared to their forward aerial. Useful for KOing opponents if Villager's forward air becomes too stale to do so reliably due to excessive use.

|uairname=Upward Turnips

|uairdesc=Randomly swings one, two or three turnips upward. Damage depends on the number of turnips, and the attack acts as a sex kick with a very long duration. High power with three turnips, and it's fast, coming out on frame 6. Villager will swing three turnips in [[Home-Run Contest]].

|dairname=Downward Turnips

|dairdesc=Randomly swings one, two or three turnips downwards. The same damage values as up aerial, and is also a sex kick. It comes out slightly slower but is still quite fast. A clean hit with any amount of turnips can [[meteor smash]] if the ends of the turnips hit the opponent; the early hits of the turnip that do not meteor instead have high horizontal knockback. The late hit can be used to initiate combos (such as into neutral attack, forward tilt, and almost any projectile Villager might have pocketed) if it is used while landing, due to the small amount of horizontal knockback from the sex kick even at very high damage. May trip opponents at low percents if hit clean. Villager will swing three turnips in [[Home-Run Contest]].

|grabname=Net

|grabdesc=Traps opponents in a net with an overhead swing. Long-range, but has considerable startup and noticeable ending lag, making it punishable if missed. Villager can also pocket items using the net.

|pummelname= 

|fthrowname= 

|bthrowname= 

|bthrowdesc=Turns around swinging their net horizontally. One of the strongest back throws in the game, KOing even the heaviest characters reliably at around 153% without rage and with optimal DI from the opponent. It's also very effective for edge guards due to its altered knockback.  

|uthrowname= 

|dthrowname= 

|floortdesc=Does a low kick with both feet ahead of and then behind themself.

|nsdesc=Villager grabs a nearby projectile or item, stowing it away; using the move again will release the projectile or item with greatly increased damage and knockback, acting as a delayed reflector. The villager is granted brief intangibility during the first few frames of this move. Any pocketed items or projectiles are shown in a little display above the damage meter.

|usdesc=Villager puts on a hat with two balloons (both of a set color determined by the player's number) attached to it. Pressing or holding the special move button will cause Villager to flap their arms and gain height. After a few seconds (or by pressing the standard attack button), the balloons will detach from Villager, leaving them helpless. The balloons can also be popped; losing one impairs Villager's potential vertical height, and losing both leaves them helpless. After using Balloon Trip, there is a period in which the helium has to recharge before it can be used effectively once more; if the helium is too low, then only one balloon will spawn.

|fsdesc=When activated, Tom Nook and the Nooklings come and build a house, trapping opponents that got caught in the Final Smash. Once the house is completed, it explodes, doing high knockback and damage.  

*'''Side Taunt''': Does a shortened version of the Shrunk Funk Shuffle.

*'''Down Taunt''': Bends down and pokes the ground with a stick.

==In competitive play==

In the early metagame, players noted that the changes to game mechanics, which increases the pace of the game and encourages more aggressive gameplay over camping, harmed Villager since most characters that once struggled against his camping gameplay can now get through it much easier. Furthermore, other campy characters that were once considered to be inferior to Villager, such as Pac-Man and Duck Hunt, received noticeable buffs and benefits from the game mechanics. As such, Villager suffered from minimal representation, and players considered him to be a lower-mid or low-tier character. Despite this, thanks to the efforts of players such as {{Sm|Panda Bair}} and {{Sm|kept}}, some players have acknowledged Villager's strengths and believe that it prevents him from falling too far behind. As such, Villager’s current viability remains questionable.

Male Villager's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing [[Classic Mode]]. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Villager in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Female Villager also has a Fighter Spirit of her own, available through the shop. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in ''Ultimate''.

===Character Showcase Video===

[[File:Villager%27s_cut_palettes.png|thumb|right|The two cut villager costumes (top) and the final costumes (bottom).]]

*Villager is the only ''SSB4'' newcomer to appear on the game's boxart.

**Villager's body and lighting on the boxart for ''Ultimate'' is flipped when compared to his appearance in the panorama, with only his face facing the same direction.  

*In the E3 demo of the game, Villager's portrait, strangely, used their in-game model as opposed to the render made for the final game. This was also the case with {{SSBU|Link}}, {{SSBU|Mario}} and {{SSBU|Pikachu}}. This has since been fixed.

*In Spanish, German, French, and Italian, the name tag and voice clip from the announcer on the victory screen is slightly different from the one used on the character select screen, instead featuring a noticeable translation of "the"  (respectively, "'''el''' Aldeano"/"'''la''' Aldeana", "'''der''' Bewohner"/"'''die''' Bewohnerin", [[File:Flag of Quebec.svg|18px|link=NTSC]] "'''l{{'}}'''Habitant"/"'''l{{'}}'''Habitante", [[File:Flag of France.svg|18px|link=PAL]] "'''le''' Villageois"/"'''la''' Villageoise", and "'''l{{'}}'''Abitante"). This trait is shared with {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Inkling}}, {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Hero}}, the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}, and the {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s.

*Villager is one of the only two characters who can be the first character unlocked in more than one way. These being taking Villager's route in the World of Light or completing Pikachu's Classic Mode. The other character who holds this distinction is {{SSBU|Ness}}.

*When Villager uses their Up Special, the color of the balloons that appear depends on who controls the character (gray for CPU, red for P1, blue for P2, etc.). {{SSBU|Isabelle}} also shares this trait.

*Similar to {{SSBU|Wario}}'s [[Chomp]], characters trapped in Villager's grab appear to have the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VPL_5r24oM upper half of their models removed], presumably so that even large characters can fit inside the net. This also happens with Isabelle.
