Bayonetta

Bayonetta is the main protagonist from the Bayonetta series by PlatinumGames. She appears as a downloadable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, chosen based on the results from the Super Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot, as the top most requested character in Europe, among the top five characters in the United States, and the most requested in the world out of all realizable characters.

Bayonetta's play style is largely focused on combos as in her game of origin, though her moves are generally slow to start. Much like her games of origin, she uses four pistols, two in her hands and two attached to her heels. By holding down the attack button after performing a move, Bayonetta can use her Bullet Arts, which fires her guns to deal more damage, though the bullets have no effect on opponents otherwise. For her smash attacks, Bayonetta uses her Wicked Weaves, using her hair to summon the limbs of Madama Butterfly to attack. Her neutral special move is Bullet Climax, in which she rapidly fires her guns as opponents. Her side special, when used on the ground, is Heel Slide, which slides across the ground and can end with a kick into the air, while when used in the air it is After Burner Kick, in which Bayonetta kicks through the air. Her up special move is Witch Twist, in which Bayonetta spins up into the air to attack, and can be used consecutively. Her down special is Witch Time, a counter-like move which slows down time around opponents caught by her, drawn from her signature ability in the Bayonetta games. Her Final Smash is Infernal Climax, which starts with Witch Time surrounding the whole stage, and after a meter is filled ends with her summoning Gomorrah to chomp on opponents. Her Final Smash acts as a danger zone; if opponents accumulate too much damage, they are instantly defeated.

While Bayonetta's normal appearance is largely based on her design in Bayonetta 2, her design from the original Bayonetta is available as an alternate costume. She also has an alternate coloration based on her rival turned ally Jeanne.

Trivia

 * Bayonetta is the second character in the Super Smash Bros. series to come from an M-rated series, the first being Solid Snake from the Metal Gear series.
 * One of Bayonetta's home games released prior to her inclusion in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Bayonetta 2, features a number of Mario allusions and cameos among other Nintendo references, such as a Peach and Daisy costume, with Mario and Luigi dolls attached and the ability to summon Bowser for attacks (although only his limbs were shown). Furthermore, defeated enemies while Bayonetta is using the Mario-themed costumes drop coins rather than rings.
 * She is the only female third party fighter in the Super Smash Bros. series.
