Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

  • Change As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Wii Fit Trainer's model features a more subdued color scheme. Her clothing and hair now features simple detailing.
  • Change Wii Fit Trainer's face is clearer and has more detailed eyes, approximating her design to Wii Fit U's trainer. According to Sakurai, this was a requested change from the Wii Fit development team.
  • Change Wii Fit Trainer's body faces the screen more compared to the previous entry; however, her stance is not mirrored.
  • Change Much like other fighters, Wii Fit Trainer is more expressive. In particular, she smiles while taunting and using Header, and appears angry while using smash attacks.

  • Forward tilt:
    • Buff Forward tilt has less endlag.
    • Nerf Forward tilt is slightly weaker.
  • Up tilt:

    • Buff Up tilt has less startup and endlag.
  • Up smash:
    • Buff Up smash has a bigger hitbox on the sourspot.

Aerial attacks

Role in World of Light

Wii Fit Trainer was among the fighters that were summoned to fight against the army of Master Hands.

Wii Fit Trainer was present when Galeem unleashed his beams of light. She was seen alongside a panicking Duck Hunt and Villager. She seemed to accept her fate, and performed the Tree yoga pose as she was hit by a beam of light. She was then placed under Galeem's imprisonment along with the rest of the fighters, excluding Kirby.

In the mode itself, she can be found by choosing to save Sheik instead of Villager or Marth.

Trivia

  • Wii Fit Trainer and Ryu are the only two characters whose full renders are not on the official website. In this case, the picture stops just below the thighs.
  • In the World of Light trailer, Wii Fit Trainer performs the Tree yoga pose just before she is hit by a beam of light. This may reference the fact that her up smash, which uses the same pose, grants her intangibility for a brief moment.
