Corrin (Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U)


 * This article is about Corrin's appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. For other uses, see Corrin.

Corrin is a downloadable character set to be released in February 2016. They costs $4.99 for one version of the game and $5.99 for both versions.

Strengths

 * Most of their attacks have disjointed hitboxes as they fight with a sword.
 * Possesses a projectile for neutral special, Dragon Fang Shot.
 * Side special can be cancelled or have different inputs used to extend the attack.
 * Side special pins opponents down to the ground.
 * Possesses a counter for down special that hits on both sides, Counter Surge.
 * Back Air has forward momentum that can help with recovery.
 * Smash attacks have incredible range, namely forward smash.
 * Tilts and aerials appear to have great combo potential.
 * Appears to have strong throws.

Weaknesses

 * Dash Attack appears to have long ending lag if it misses, leading to easy punishes.
 * Down Aerial drops straight down, which can lead into SDs.

Ground Attacks

 * Neutral Attack: Jabs the dragon spire, does an upward slash with Yato and finishes by jabbing Yato. The infinite version of the attack has Corrin swiping the dragon fang forth very rapidly many times.
 * Forward Tilt: Does a strong forward slash.
 * Up Tilt: Does an upward slash that knocks opponents into the air.
 * Down Tilt: Does a sweeping slash near the ground.
 * Dash Attack: Jumps forward and spins like a drill. Hits multiple times.

Smash Attacks

 * Forward Smash: A spinning dragon spire attack. It has the longest range of any forward smash and does the most damage at the tip.

Aerial Attacks

 * Forward Aerial: Does a downward slash. Looks a bit similar to  Marth ,  Lucina  and  Roy 's Forward Aerials.
 * Back Aerial: Sprouts dragon wings that flap backwards and slam together; the move gives Corrin some forward momentum and actually helps with recovery.
 * Up Aerial: Flips and does an upward slash. Looks very similar to Marth, Lucina and Roy's Up Aerials.
 * Down Aerial: Flips upside down, sprouts a dragon spire, and quickly falls, stabbing downwards with it as they plummet towards the ground; functions much like Toon Link's Down Aerial.

Grabs and Throws

 * Pummel: Slams opponents with the hilt of their sword.
 * Forward Throw: Holds the Yato Blade against the opponent with its blades running, then stabs them with a dragon spire.
 * Up Throw: Transforms into a dragon and headbutts the opponent into the air.

Taunts

 * Corrin swings the Yato Blade overhead and then stabs it into the ground behind them.
 * Corrin spins the Yato Blade around in their hand in front of them as it glows red, and then brings it back into its original position.

Trivia

 * Corrin is the only DLC character who has both a male and female variation, similarly to Robin and Wii Fit Trainer.
 * Corrin is the first and only newcomer DLC character that is 1st party, and not 3rd party.
 * Corrin and Roy are the only DLC characters to share a universe.
 * Corrin is the only DLC newcomer that does not come with a stage.
 * Corrin is the newest character added into Smash 4, as Fire Emblem: Fates has not even been released in America yet.
 * Corrin is the second Fire Emblem character added into the game before a global release. The first character was Roy.
 * In Corrin's announcement trailer there is a phrase "Are those warriors of the Outrealms?" when the other Fire Emblem characters are shown. This is a reference to Awakening and Fates having a location on the map called Outrealm Gate where DLC maps and DLC characters of past Fire Emblem characters can be purchased.
