POKéMON CHARACTERS
PIKACHU
--Starter, but also found in Light Realm waterfall in WoL.
--Nair has been changed to a shock attack similar to Mewtwo's.
--Aiming indicator appears during Quick Attack.
--Volt Tackle is no longer controllable.
--Overall faster & stronger.
--Two alts are now female (casual cap & Libre costume).
JIGGLYPUFF
--Unlocks: #15 in Vs, #2 in Kirby's Classic line (after Ness), or in the forest area in the Light Realm of WoL.
--Faster.
--All explosives used by Jigglypuff have a 95% damage modifier applied, including reclaimed items from other characters.
--Rest has less end lag, with a further reduced time if it hits.
--Puff Up now does 2 hits instead of 1.
MEWTWO
--Unlocks: #60 in Vs, #8 in Fox's Classic line (after Capt Falcon, Zero Suit, Peach, Falco, Daisy, Bowser Jr, & Wolf), or the Mysterious Dimension in the Dark Realm of WoL.
--Hurtbox added to tail, because I don't know.
--Slightly heavier & faster.
LUCARIO
--Unlocks: #27 in Vs, #1 in Yoshi's Classic line, or near the chasm bridge in the Light Realm of WoL.
--Aura is weakened.
--Faster & lighter.
--Extreme Speed gets less distance.
--Final Smash has switched from Smash 4's Mega Lucario back to Brawl's Aura Storm.
GRENINJA
--Unlocks: #58 in Vs, #6 in DK's Classic line (after Bowser, Red, Rosaluma, Dedede, & Sheik), or in the Mysterious Dimension in the Dark Realm of WoL.
--Faster & lighter.
--Water Shuriken has more range.
--Substitute is greatly buffed.
--All water "katanas" now replaced with water "kunai".
--New down tilt.
--No longer loses double jump after hitting Dair.
--Aiming indicator appears during Hydro Pump.
Red & Pichu were addressed in Character Of The Month #103.
I never realized Greninja's old attacks were supposed to be katanas, but the new ones are very clearly kunai, so that's cool.
It took me ages to get Lucario over 100m in Home Run Contest, & he is now the only character I don't have over 200m (& likely never will).
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
