Bayonetta (SSBR)

This article is about Bayonetta's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Riot. For the character in general, see Bayonetta.
Bayonetta (real name Cereza) is the eponymous main character and protagonist of the Bayonetta series. She is a coquettish and mysterious Umbra Witch, who possesses a remarkable talent for the Bullet Arts and is the bearer of the Left Eye, that oversees the darkness.
==Attributes==
Bayonetta is an overall fast, agile and powerful fighter. She is able to perform combos with great ease and can increase damage on an opponent with them for potential KOs. Bayonetta is unique in the fact that by doing a taunt, she will switch weapons. Switching weapons only affects her basic attacks though, and not her Special Abilities or grab game. With this, Bayonetta can switch from guns to her katana and ice skates, making her a good magical and melee fighter. While her Special Abilites are not very lethal or have potential for KOs (with the exception of Wicked Weave) her normal attacks, especially Smash Attacks, are very good finishers after opponents reach not so high damage percentages.
Bayonetta is very skilled, she is faster in movement if using the ice skates and her air game is decent. Bayonetta is, however, quite easy to KO as a somewhat light character, but she recovers easily. She also has a small shield which makes her kind of vulnerable to shield stabbing from certain characters. Overall, Bayonetta is an excellent fighter in the game and is placed 3 in the SS Tier, offering exceptional matchups.

*Final Smash - Witch Time: Bayonetta slows downs the whole stage, including her opponents. After using With Time, Bayonetta reaches Climax to increase her abilities, performing powerful magical punches and kicks and allowing for greater damage.
