==Attributes==
Wii Fit Trainer is a somewhat tall middleweight. She possesses a fast [[walking]] speed (the 24th highest), slightly above average [[dash]]ing speed, a fast initial dash, average [[air speed]], high [[air acceleration]] (tied for the 21st highest), high [[jump]]s, average [[gravity]], has the 11th highest [[traction]] and is tied with Isabelle and the Ice Climbers for the 7th-9th slowest [[falling speed]]. In addition, she has one of the longest tech rolls and ledge rolls in the game, which can make her hard to punish even if a roll is expected. These attributes give her overall good mobility, although, similarly to Luigi and Pit, Wii Fit Trainer is somewhat floaty for her weight class, and is one of the floatiest characters in the game. She can also [[wall jump]] and [[crawl]], with the latter being one of the shortest in terms of hurtbox height, making it useful defensively.

Wii Fit Trainer is a somewhat tall middleweight with a slender physique. She possesses a fast [[walking]] speed (the 24th highest), slightly above average [[dash]]ing speed, a fast [[initial dash]], average [[air speed]], high [[air acceleration]] (tied for the 21st highest), high [[jump]]s, average [[gravity]], has the 11th highest [[traction]] and is tied with {{SSBU|Isabelle}} and the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}} for the 7th-9th slowest [[falling speed]]. In addition, she has one of the longest tech rolls and ledge rolls in the game, which can make her hard to punish even if a roll is expected. These attributes give her overall good mobility, although, comparatively like Luigi and Pit, Wii Fit Trainer is somewhat floaty for her weight class, and is one of the floatiest characters in the game. She can also [[wall jump]] and [[crawl]], with the latter being one of the shortest in terms of hurtbox height, making it useful defensively.


Wii Fit Trainer possesses a great damage-racking game through several attacks that deal unusually high damage, most notably her neutral aerial and [[Header]]. Additionally, her [[Deep Breathing]] makes her faster, stronger, and more durable for a few seconds, further increasing her damage output. Many of Wii Fit Trainer's attacks also have unusual hitbox placements or properties, such as hitting on both sides of her. For example, her forward tilt can hit in front of her with her arm and behind her with her leg; this also applies to forward smash, forward aerial, and the first hit of her neutral attack. The final hit of her neutral attack also has a sweetspot that [[buries]] opponents.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Wii Fit Trainer has been significantly buffed from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate''. Many of her moves have received various improvements, be it to their [[hitbox]] durations and/or placements, overall lag, mobility, projectiles, KO power, or damage output, making Wii Fit Trainer's moveset function more effectively overall.
Wii Fit Trainer was significantly buffed in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate''. Many of her moves have received various improvements, be it to their [[hitbox]] durations and/or placements, overall lag, mobility, projectiles, KO power, or damage output, making Wii Fit Trainer's moveset more cohesive overall.


Many of Wii Fit Trainer's notoriously inconsistent attacks have been improved: [[forward tilt|forward]] and [[up tilt]] both last longer, with the latter having [[intangibility]] on the attacking arm and reaching farther upward than before, making it better for contesting aerials. Up tilt, [[dash attack]], [[forward smash]], [[down smash]] and [[forward aerial]] have lower ending lag, while [[up smash]] and [[down aerial]] come out faster. Up smash also has a larger [[sourspot]], making it less likely to whiff. Many of Wii Fit Trainer's aerials' hitboxes have been improved so they connect more consistently, including forward aerial (which now has a small but useful body hitbox) and down aerial (whose spike hitbox is now much larger and lasts slightly longer). In addition, dash attack and [[down tilt]] deal more damage, [[up throw|up]], [[down throw]], and [[forward throw]] all possess combo potential, and [[neutral attack]]'s finisher [[buries]] much more consistently thanks to the universal changes to neutral attack angles as well as a larger [[sweetspot]] on the final hit. All these changes greatly improve her damage racking potential, while making it less likely for her moves to whiff. Down tilt has also received a lower launch angle, greatly increasing its [[KO]] ability.
Previously known for having one of the most inconsistent movesets of any character, Wii Fit Trainer's attacks have seen various miscellaneous improvements: [[forward tilt|forward]] and [[up tilt]] both last longer, with the latter having [[intangibility]] on the attacking arm and reaching farther upward, making it a more reliable anti-air. Up tilt, [[dash attack]], [[forward smash]], [[down smash]] and [[forward aerial]] have lower ending lag, while [[up smash]] and [[down aerial]] come out faster. Up smash also has a larger [[sourspot]]. Many of Wii Fit Trainer's aerials' hitboxes have been improved so they connect more consistently, including forward aerial (which now has a small but useful body hitbox) and down aerial (whose spike hitbox is now much larger and lasts slightly longer). In addition, dash attack and [[down tilt]] deal more damage (and the latter sends at a lower angle), [[up throw|up]], [[down throw|down]], and [[forward throw]]s all possess combo potential, and [[neutral attack]]'s finisher [[buries]] much more consistently thanks to the universal changes to neutral attack angles as well as a larger [[sweetspot]] on the final hit. All these changes greatly improve her damage racking and KO potential, while making it less likely for her moves to whiff.


Wii Fit Trainer's special moveset has been noticeably buffed as well. [[Sun Salutation]] deals significantly more damage and knockback when fully charged and can be [[charge-cancel]]ed with a jump, much like other storable chargeable moves. [[Header]] functions significantly better as a projectile, as the ball is bigger, deals more damage, bounces faster and lower, has more variable angles if headbutted, and almost always keeps its hitbox while active, making ball setups much more viable. [[Super Hoop]] now deals multiple hits, which improves its damage if all hits land. Finally, [[Deep Breathing]] has been dramatically improved: it can be activated more easily and faster, has a lower recharge penalty if failed, and lasts a few seconds longer. It also grants faster [[fall speed]], [[gravity]], [[air speed]], [[traction]], [[initial dash]] speed and [[dash]] speed alongside the move's original buffs to [[walk]] speed, damage output, and reduction of damage taken. This overall mobility increase, coupled with both Deep Breathing's improved 1.25× damage multiplier and Wii Fit Trainer's already hard hitting attacks, allows her to deal massive damage during each Deep Breathing use, heavily improving its utility.

[[Super Hoop]] now deals multiple hits, which improves its damage if all hits land. [[Header]] and [[Deep Breathing]], however, have seen the most improvements: the former functions significantly better as a projectile, as the ball is bigger, deals more damage, bounces faster and lower, has more variable angles if headbutted, and almost always keeps its hitbox while active, making ball setups much more viable; the latter can be activated more easily and faster, has a lower recharge penalty if failed, lasts a few seconds longer, grants much faster and varied mobility buffs alongside the original ones to [[walk]] speed, reduction of damage taken, and damage output, the former of which is also higher.


Finally, Wii Fit Trainer benefits from the game's universal changes. The universal increase to mobility helps her close out the distance between the opponent more easily, and this is complemented by the ability to use any attack out of a run, somewhat alleviating her short range. The streamlined [[jumpsquat]] allows her to use aerials more effectively, while the increased [[shieldstun]] and slower shield drop speed improves the safety of her projectiles and certain attacks such as down tilt. The limit to a single [[air dodge]] also allows her projectiles to cover options better and catch landings with her high mobility, while the reintroduction of directional air dodges slightly improves her horizontal recovery and makes it easier to mix up. The generally lower landing lag on aerials makes all of Wii Fit Trainer's aerials safer to use as well, making neutral and forward air particularly safe on shield.

The generally lower landing lag on aerials makes all of Wii Fit Trainer's aerials safer to use as well, making neutral and forward air particularly safe on shield.


In spite of all this, Wii Fit Trainer is not without a few nerfs. The biggest nerf was to Super Hoop, which travels a shorter max distance even when mashed, making her recovery less flexible (although it is also easier to reach maximum height). In terms of her standard moveset, the back hit of forward tilt has less horizontal range, neutral aerial links into its second hit less consistently, and neutral attack's second hit can now make opponents [[trip]] or slide out of the full combo, which can cause the third hit's bury to still miss. Wii Fit Trainer also retains most of her weaknesses from ''Smash 4''. While her overall moveset has been heavily improved, her neutral game is still somewhat lacking due to her lack of options at mid-range, and her disadvantage state is still extremely lackluster due to very few ways to escape pressure, deal with projectiles, or get back onstage, which is further harmed by the nerfs to dodging and dodge intangibility. Additionally, some of her moves such as forward tilt still have large blindspots, making small characters such as {{SSBU|Olimar}} and {{SSBU|Pichu}} a struggle to deal with.
In spite of all this, Wii Fit Trainer has also received some nerfs, a few of which are particularly notable. Super Hoop now travels a shorter max distance even when mashed, making her recovery less flexible (although it is also easier to reach maximum height). The back hit of forward tilt has less horizontal range, neutral aerial links into its second hit less consistently, and neutral attack's second hit can now make opponents [[trip]] or slide out of the full combo, which can cause the third hit's bury to still miss.


Overall, Wii Fit Trainer's strengths and weaknesses have been further defined. While her moveset hasn't changed much in terms of functionality, its significant improvements now let her properly function as a unique, projectile-based bait-and-punish character who relies on her unorthodox setups and options to pressure the opponent into making poor decisions, and then using her speed and massive damage output to capitalize. However, her weaknesses in approaching and landing consistent hits remain, making it important for her to keep opponents from rushing her down or camping her out, and her worse recovery distance has made her offstage disadvantage state harder to endure. Regardless, Wii Fit Trainer's buffs considerably outweigh the nerfs she received, and she has had surprising success in early competitive play, with notable players such as {{Sm|John Numbers}}, {{Sm|varun}} (both of who use her as a main), and {{Sm|WaDi}} (who has used her as a secondary) placing well at high-level tournaments. However, Wii Fit Trainer still has a relatively small playerbase, making it difficult to determine how well she will fare competitively in the long run, though she is generally agreed to be a solid upper-mid or even low-high tier character, in comparison to her low-mid to low tier status in ''Smash 4''.
Overall, Wii Fit Trainer's strengths and weaknesses have been further defined. While her moveset hasn't changed much in terms of functionality, its significant improvements now let her play to her strengths better, but her worse recovery distance has made her offstage disadvantage state harder to endure. Additionally, Wii Fit Trainer still retains most of her weaknesses from ''SSB4'', such as lackluster options at mid-range, lackluster disadvantage on-stage, a lack of options to deal with opposing camping, and large blindspots in her moves. While Wii Fit Trainer's buffs considerably outweigh the nerfs she received and she is unquestionably a better character than she was in ''SSB4'', the various buffs to other returning veterans mean that she still underperforms compared to the rest of the cast.

Wii Fit Trainer was generally considered to be a mid tier character upon ''Ultimate''{{'}}s release. However, public opinion of her viability has gradually improved, thanks to her noteworthy buffs from game updates, particularly updates {{SSBU|3.0.0}} and {{SSBU|8.0.0}}. Additionally, she has performed relatively well at the regional level as players such as {{Sm|varun}}, {{Sm|John Numbers}}, {{Sm|Evy}}, and more have ranked highly on their respective Power Rankings throughout ''Ultimate''{{'}}s lifetime. There have also been several breakout performances on the international stage; multiple Wii Fit Trainer players have placed 33rd at S-tier tournaments, and a number of top players have lost to Wii Fit Trainer players in bracket.

Thanks to the combination of her buffs and ever-improving tournament results, public opinion of Wii Fit Trainer's viability has steadily risen over time, and many now consider her to be a borderline high tier character. Despite this, some are still dubious of Wii Fit Trainer's potential, owing to her retention of a few glaring weaknesses that sometimes result in extremely polarizing matchups. Nonetheless, Wii Fit Trainer is expected to see a higher level of tournament placings as her metagame develops.
