Greninja (USBIV)

Greninja is a startable playable character in Ultra Smash Bros. IV and makes his second appearance in the Super Smash Bros. (series). He was confirmed alongside with Charizard and the newcomer Sceptile when Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire was out. In the Pokémon series, Greninja is a third evolved Pokémon, begining with Froakie and ending after Frogadier, as a water-dark type.
Greninja's voiceclips are reused from Smash 4 voiced by Billy Bob Thompson.
Greninja ranks in 14th place of the 103rd (A+) after Toon Link and behind Samus in the tier list. This is due to his improved game mechanics for his special moves such as Hydro Pump, that moves faster, is less exploitable and Substitute (having less framedata during his counterattack). This is a little rise for Greninja being also a high tier in Smash 4.
