Super Smash Bros. Ultimate just got its 75th playable character: Piranha Plant. Players who pre-ordered the game could choose to buy Piranha Plant as a DLC. Piranha Plant was initially scheduled for a release in February, but it seems like we got lucky this time. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate released their patch 2.0.0 today, along with Piranha Plant as well as some gameplay fixes.
Players can get Piranha Plant for free if they purchased Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but it is a limited time offer only. This offer will be valid until 31 January 2019, following which players will have the option to purchase the character as a separate DLC. If you redeemed the code before purchasing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, then your purchase will be counted and you can start playing.
What are Piranha Plant's moves?
- The down / B button deploys a bomb which you can throw at your enemies.
- Analog stick up + B will give Piranha Plant the ability to fly
- Analog stick left or right + B will make Piranha Plant spit poison on enemies, which does damage over time.
- Analog stick down + B will give Piranha Plant an extended strike, a little beyond the normal range.
- Piranha plant also has some very powerful Smash moves (by pressing A)
- Piranha Plant's Final Smash is a move called Petey Piranha, which makes the character go big and allows you to trample your opponents.
Check out the video below for a demonstration on how it works exactly.
