Super Smash Bros.’s Greninja Uses Shadow Sneak To Ambush Opponents

Super Smash Bros.

During last week’s Super Smash Bros. themed Nintendo Direct, we learned a lot of new information, with perhaps one of the biggest being the unveiling of Greninja as a playable character.

As a result, Masahiro Sakurai has started off the week with two images of the new Pokemon, with the following captions on Miiverse.

Pic of the day. Here’s a very, very new fighter in the upcoming Smash games, Greninja. Greninja’s sophisticated moves are extremely fun to use once you get used to how it controls!

The side special attack Shadow Sneak is a move that makes Greninja suddenly disappear and ambush opponents. If you press and hold the button, Greninja will move a greater distance. Another unique feature is you can move Greninja around freely while charging up.

Shadow Sneak sounds like it will be quite the fun move to pull off in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. when it hits later this year.
