Bowser

Bowser’s up b out of shield is heavily nerfed to encourage him to be more aggressive and camp in shield less. Fireball was added and bound to grabs to also encourage and reward aggression.

Value Changes for Bowser

Fay

Fay is a weapons specialist, lost in time. Though she’s only made an official appearance in the forgotten Star Fox 2, Fay feels both familiar and completely new. Her moveset is inspired by Fox from the original Super Smash Brothers, with tons of new twists. Most notably, her specials, like her sniper... The P.A.W.P. Fox, Falco, and Wolf all have iconic blasters, but they can’t hold a candle to the P.A.W.P. She isn’t always stuck with a slow sniper, though, she can switch to a weaker version of Falco’s laser. Hold B and A to swap between the pistol and the sniper! This swap is also useful for turning Fay around in the air. Her Shine is unique from the other spacies of the cast, sending neatly up and behind her to set up for interesting combo sequences. Fay’s up b is definitely the least flexible of the space animals’,as it’s only able to move straight up. However, you can charge it by holding B, allowing you to mix up your recovery distances. You might be thinking, wow, that recovery sucks. Nah. It’s bitchin. Side b is a recovery move, much like it is for other spacies, but this one is really, really different. Blast yourself with your own rocket back to the stage with this flexible yet extremely self punishing recovery option. Better get good at wall jump teching! It’s also a fun little projectile onstage, but using it in that way isn’t really a threat. Her side b isn’t the only place her missile launcher is used. Her up air, down air, and back air put the hefty weapon to good use, blasting opponents upwards and downwards, and launching them sideways with a powerful thwack. Fay isn’t your everyday spacie, but she’s still part of the Star Fox family, and you’ll feel that when you play her soon.

Meta Knight

Meta Knight flies in to Beyond Melee with a fresh moveset, bringing together a best-of of the character. His neutral b is a single hit kill move, his up b is a double whip that kills off the top, and his side and down b are as snappy as you could hope for. Finally, you can see if Meta Knight or Fox would win in Beyond Melee Demo 2!

Value Changes for Meta Knight

Mewtwo

Up b and nair have been nerfed in disadvantage, but are better in advantage. Overall, he’s a beefed up vanilla Mewtwo. Do rising double jump aerials by holding the jump button.

Raichu

Raichu isn’t just a Pikachu clone. Almost all of his moves are entirely new, but stay true to the spirit of the Pikachu lineage. His neutral special is Electro Ball, a strong projectile that’s slow to come out, slow to travel across the stage, but if it hits you you’re likely to be combo’d to death... You’ll quickly see this is a pattern with this character. Up special at first seems very similar to Pikachu’s up special, but it’s quite different. It has a longer startup, and only has a hitbox at the end of the zip. If you hit with this hitbox, you can cancel your up b into a jump, aerial, or airdodge. Side special is similar to Pikachu’s in the air. On the ground, however, it becomes Volt Tackle. Raichu runs pretty slow normally, but he moves much faster during Volt Tackle. Storm across the screen to catch your opponents, chase after your electro ball, or jump cancel it to open up even more options. Fade back with a wavedash to trick your opponents, or jump in with a shocking surprise attack! Down special is smaller than Pikachu’s thunder, but it packs a wallop. The storm cloud is a meteor, which sends opponents directly to Raichu for the explosive finisher! His aerials are all entirely fresh, but draw inspiration from his previous evolutions. Raichu is the slowest character in Beyond Melee, but with a great variety of unique tools at his disposal, Raichu is a complete package, and he packs a serious punch.

Skull Kid

The tricky terror of Termina wreaks his havoc on the Beyond Melee cast with his speed, and mischievous mix ups. His counter is actually a curse, planting a poisonous flower on his opponent's head, but the counter play is what you’d expect... Except for one thing. Skull Kid’s side special looks like his counter, but don’t be fooled! Try to punish it, and you’ll be hit away just before he teleports to safety. You’ll have to be ready for Skull kid’s tricks. Being ready for Skull Kid will be hard, though. He’s fast, making an escape from his wrath difficult. He’ll control a ton of space by threatening with his float, which ends when he uses aerials. Skull Kid will take your stock, it’s only a matter of time.

Shadow Mewtwo

Shadow Mewtwo bursts into Beyond Melee with a diverse and unique moveset. He has similarities to Mewtwo in appearance, but in gameplay he couldn’t be more different. Even the way he moves around the stage feels totally new! Mega Evolution is making its first appearance in competitive Smash! Shadow Mewtwo’s signature mechanic is his ability to Mega Evolve. You can mega evolve with down b, once you’ve dealt 60% to your opponent via non-special) moves. Since watching meters while playing can be annoying, you’ll be able to tell he’s ready when he starts glowing purple. Mega Shadow Mewtwo deals more damage and knockback on all of his moves than his non-Mega form, and he moves faster as well. You remain in your mega form until you’ve whiffed attacks too many times. You can refill meter while mega evolved by landing more attacks, though, so if you want to keep the momentum in your favor, make smart plays. Mega evolution is great, but that’s not the only surprise up his sleeve. Shadow Mewtwo, ironically, has no Shadow Ball. Instead, press neutral b to activate Light Pillar. As you hold B, an indicator travels along the stage. Let go of B to activate the beam! It’s solid for both shield pressure and combos, however it’s quite slow to start up, and slow to cool down. It’s a commitment, but you can use this move to extend tech chases, combos, or to punish campy opponents! Next, he has a completely reworked up b. This up b is simple, but effective. It’s based on some of his moves from Pokken. He has less positional mixups than Mewtwo does with his teleport, but don’t let that fool you into thinking he can’t recover. Similar to Mario or Roy’s up special, this move travels quickly and sends out a flurry of hits to disorient opponents who don’t see it coming. For his normals, a stylish new back air with startling range allows Shadow Mewtwo to set up edgeguards, or finish them. He gets a new down tilt that’s slower to start and finish than Mewtwo’s, but it’s great at setting up into his scary aerial finishers… even scarier when he’s mega evolved. Based on his sword moves from Pokken, Shadow Mewtwo gets an ice cold up air to juggle opponents or send them to the stars. Up tilt gets the same treatment. A new upsmash more in line with his other two smash attacks, a fiery forward air that launches forward, a startlingly strong forward throw- and so many more unique aspects that set this character apart from Mewtwo. With all of these new moves, and mega evolution as the cherry on top, Shadow Mewtwo brings a lot of new concepts to the Melee landscape, which makes him a must-play in the BM roster.

Sonic

Sonic blasts in to Beyond Melee, finally realizing the dreams of millions of playing Sonic in Melee. With a totally fresh take on the speedster, try out his new aerials, side b, and fresh feeling take on the rest of his specials. There's so much love for this character, and the Beyond Melee team put their all in to realizing the best version of Melee Sonic the community could want.

Wolf

You’ve seen Wolf before, and our Wolf is a greatest hits compilation of what you love most about this character. Not to mention, for his appearance in Beyond Melee, he has a completely original model. All of his specials work how you’d expect, but have slight tweaks here and there to more perfectly align with Beyond Melee’s balance and design guidelines. Let’s cover a couple unfamiliar bits first. Forward air and up air send at just the right angle and knockback to create a really interesting DI mixup tree, making tough decisions for both players. Down tilt is a double kick launcher with a fresh animation. Dash attack is an in between of Melee Fox and Ultimate Wolf. Bair is more of a swinging kick, with no lingering hitboxes, that sends at a low angle and hurts like hell to get edgeguarded by. Otherwise, he’s mostly what you’d expect. Comfort food. Players who loved Wolf before from any game will love him just as much in Beyond Melee.

Value Changes for Wolf

Systems

Darkness

  • Darkness effect (Ganon down b, Mewtwo forward air, etc) made to be less dark to increase visibility on low quality screens and dark stages.
