Smash Ultimate 2.0.0 Update patch notes | Piranha Plant joins the battle

Piranha Plant was announced for Smash Ultimate during the game’s Nintendo Direct on November 1. The new potted fighter is an early adoption bonus, still available before Friday. If you haven’t yet claimed the new fighter, do it now.

Upon booting up Super Smash Bros Ultimate 2.0.0 update, a splash screen announcing Piranha Plant’s arrival will appear. The fighter is available immediately and can be found in the last row of fighters.

Piranha Plant’s regular special “Ptooie” spits a spiked ball out of its mouth. Holding the special button keeps the ball in the air and it can be blown in different directions using the control stick. Piranha Plant’s side special “Poison Breath” spits a slow-moving poison mist. The longer this is charged, the more damage and range it has. Poison Breath hits enemies multiple times. “Piranhacopter” is Piranha Plant’s up special, seeing it fly into the air.

Piranha Plant does damage to enemies contacted during this move which can also be directed left or right. Piranha Plant’s down special, “Long-Stem Strike” has increased range the longer it is charged. The special can be aimed as well. Piranha Plant’s Final Smash summons Petey Piranha who attempts to trap enemy fighters in cages before launching them.
