Moveset[]

Ground Attacks[]

Input	Image Pose	Name	Description	Reference	Damage
Jab		Bullet Punch/Combo Sweep/Swing Up/Phantom Rush/Phantom Finish	Performs a lunge with her left gun, a back-handed strike with her right, and an uppercut with the left & then performs a barrage of pistol whips, concluded by a thrusting pistol whip. The Bullet Arts version of all hits of the combo has her shoot her guns forward, with the exception of the third hit, which shoots forward and upward in a diagonal direction behind herself. If the button is held while Bayonetta performs the barrage, it will do additional damage due to her firing her guns at the same time, though this does not actually extend the attack's range like her other Bullet Arts. Its utility as a get-off-me option is very poor, making it the second slowest neutral attack in the game after Dedede's. However, it deals high damage to compensate, with the full combo being capable of dealing ~18%.	Her Punch + Punch + Punch • Punch combo while wielding Love is Blue from Bayonetta 2.	1.4%, 1.4%, 2.2%, 0.2% (loop), 0.5% (penultimate hit), 5% (last)
Dash Attack		Stiletto	Does a forward rushing pistol whip. The Bullet Arts version of this move fires her gun in front of herself. It has noticeable start-up, but travels far and acts as one of Bayonetta's few direct KO options.	Stiletto from the Bayonetta franchise.	10% (early), 8% (late)
Ledge Attack		N/A	Performs a hook kick while climbing up.	N/A	9%
Floor Attack		Break Dance	Does a low-angle kick performed from a windmill while getting up.	Break Dance from the Bayonetta franchise.	7%

Tilt Attacks[]

Input	Image Pose	Name	Description	Reference	Damage
Side Tilt		Bullet Heel/Combo Twist/Rising Kick	Performs a front kick, a spin kick and an upward roundhouse kick. Functions like a neutral attack, requiring further inputs to continue the combo. The Bullet Arts version of each strike has her fire her guns at different angles: the first is straight forward, the second is slightly upward and the third is diagonally upward. If up close, the subsequent hits may fail to connect. Due to its slow speed and low shield safety, it is of niche use compared to her other moves, though it can set up aerial combos at low to mid percents or set up mindgames by canceling the move halfway.	Her Kick + Kick + Kick combo while wielding Love is Blue from Bayonetta 2.	3%, 3%, 7%
Up Tilt		Chain Upper	Does an upwards pistol whip. Hits twice, with the first hit having set knockback and a hitbox slightly above and in front of her head that does slightly more damage than on the ground, but can only hit midair opponents. The Bullet Arts version of this move fires her gun above her. The second hit sometimes won't connect due to positioning. It is an effective combo starter in general, as it can anti air and initiate combos, and can even set up a KO into back aerial at high percents. However, it cannot KO outright due to its low power, and becomes ineffective for combos past high percents.	The delayed punch launcher from the Bayonetta franchise.	1.5% (hit 1, clean), 2% (hit 1, late), 6% (hit 2)
Down Tilt		Trip Circle	Does a sweep kick to launch opponents airborne. The Bullet Arts version of this move fires two guns in front of herself and one behind herself; the front version can effectively pepper opponents at a distance due to this feature. It is her safest grounded combo starter due to its speed and relatively low commitment, though it has short range. It can initiate aerial combos from low to high percents, though it cannot KO outright.	The final hit of Bayonetta's Punch + Punch + Kick combo while wielding Love is Blue from Bayonetta 2.	6% (foot), 5% (leg)

Smash Attacks[]

Input	Image Pose	Name	Description	Reference	Damage
Side Smash		Umbran Straight	Fuses with Madama Butterfly as she throws a straight punch, spawning a large spectral fist forward, occasionally saying "Bingo!", while the Bullet Arts version has her fire her gun depending on the angle: forward if unangled, slightly upward if up & slightly downward if down. It has great power and horizontal range and Madama Butterfly's hitbox cannot be reversed. However, it has high ending lag and low priority, making it fairly easy to cancel out. A blindspot will always be present directly in front of her, regardless of angle and its animation renders it unable to hit prone opponents or those with very low crouches.	The final hit of Comboes 8 & 11 of Colour My World in Bayonetta 3.	14% (wrist), 16% (fist)
Up Smash		Wicked Upper	Fuses with Madama Butterfly as she throws an uppercut, spawning a large spectral fist upward, occasionally saying "Piss off!!", while the Bullet Arts version has her fire 1 gun forward & 1 upward. It has noticeable start-up, high ending lag and low priority, but it is her strongest attack when clean. Its range also allows it to pierce through the platforms of Battlefield. Madama Butterfly's hitbox cannot be reversed.	The delayed punch launcher from Comboes 5 & 13 of Colour My World in Bayonetta 3.	17% (clean), 16% (mid), 15% (late)
Down Smash		Heel Stomp	Fuses with Madama Butterfly as she stomps her foot on the ground while spawning a large spectral foot to stomp shortly after her, burying & meteor smashing opponents, while the Bullet Arts version has her fire the guns on her feet downward into the ground. There is a hitbox on her leg that leads into the main hitbox. It can meteor smash opponents that are either on the edge or in midair, making it a potent edge-guarding option. Like up smash, it only hits in front of her, has high ending lag and low priority, but has considerable vertical range. Madama Butterfly's hitbox cannot be reversed. Uniquely, the hitbox for her stamping the ground is set to never activate Witch Time.	The Heel Stomp from the Bayonetta franchise.	5% (Bayonetta), 16% (Madama Butterfly, clean), 15% (Madama Butterfly, late)

Aerial Attacks[]

Input	Image Pose	Name	Description	Reference	Damage
Neutral Aerial		Spinning Kick	Does a spinning roundhouse kick.The Bullet Arts version of this move fires her guns to her sides both horizontally and diagonally below her and is useful for edgeguarding due to its long duration and very good coverage. If canceled early, it can lead into aerial combos with her special moves and the clean hit can act as a combo finisher offstage.	The aerial Bullet Climax in the original Bayonetta.	8% (clean), 6% (late), 3% (Bullet Arts extension)
Forward Aerial		Aerial Bullet Punch/Aerial Combo Sweep/Swing Down	Performs a straight pistol whip with her left gun and a backhanded strike with her right gun and a downward-arc spin kick. Functions like a neutral attack, requiring further inputs to continue the combo. The Bullet Arts version of this move fires in front of her for the first two hits, while the third hit fires three guns downward and one upward. Successfully landing each hit will cause Bayonetta to pop upwards slightly, allowing her to complete the rest of the combo. It is also effective for KOing when near the blast lines, and is usually used to end combos after a second Witch Twist. The first hit can be used while landing to combo into forward smash, or canceled into After Burner Kick at extremely high percents while edgeguarding, where it can actually KO.	Her aerial Punch + Punch + Kick combo while wielding Love is Blue from Bayonetta 2.	4% (hit 1), 3.3% (hit 2), 7% (hit 3)
Backward Aerial		Shooting Kick	Does a high-angle back kick. The Bullet Arts version of this move fires one gun behind her at an upward angle. It is slow for a back aerial, but acts as her strongest aerial KO option outside of combos. Some aerial combos can lead into back aerial for additional damage, or act as KO combos including from up tilt. Its hitbox is rather misleading due to her attack's motion trails, as its hitboxes don't appear until her leg fully extends.	The second hit of her aerial Punch + Kick combo while wielding Love is Blue from Bayonetta 2.	10% (leg), 13% (foot)
Up Aerial		Full Moon Edge	Does a bicycle kick. The Bullet Arts version of this move has her fire her guns, whilst she performs a modified version of the aú aberto. While this version deals less damage, it provides excellent coverage that covers wide areas around her, making it useful for edge-guarding and dealing additional damage. While it is decently fast for an up aerial, its hitbox starts behind her, which can make it slower than it seems. However, one can perform a reverse aerial rush to take advantage of this, allowing multiple up aerials to combo into each other, potentially ending with a back aerial. Overall, up aerial has high utility, as it can initiate combos into specials if canceled early and can also KO when close to the top blast line, although she has to perform extremely high ladder combos for it to KO.	The kick launcher in the original Bayonetta.	7.5% (kick), 3% (Bullet Arts extension)
Down Aerial		Heel Guillotine	Does a split-legged axe kick. A stall-then-fall with low duration and ending lag, which allows her to safely recover afterward if used off-stage. It is a meteor smash when hitting with her heel, while its landing hit has extremely high knockback, both of which make it a viable, but punishable KOing option overall. Can be used after her special move combos to catch opponents who attempt to punish her increased landing lag. The Bullet Arts version fires one gun from her heel forward, but only upon landing.	Her standard aerial kick in the original Bayonetta.	7% (body), 8% (leg), 9% (heel), 5% (landing)

Grabs & Throws[]

Input	Image Pose	Name	Description	Reference	Damage
Grab		N/A	Reaches out seductively with her hand emanating Umbran Magic.	N/A	N/A
Pummel		Witch Slap	Slaps the opponent in the face with Colour My World. It has average speed, but is unique in that it consists of two hits per input. As a result, it is possible for the opponent to break free in the middle of the pummel and thus miss the second hit entirely.	Slap Punish Attack from the Bayonetta franchise.	0.6% (hit 1), 0.7% (hit 2)
Forward Throw		Tetsuzanko	Slams the opponent forward with a body check. It is her strongest throw in knockback and damage. However, it is easily DI'd due to its diagonal angle.	Her Tetsuzanko throw from the Bayonetta franchise.	7% (hit), 3% (throw)
Backward Throw		Crescent Sweep	Does a jumping roundhouse kick. Particularly weak for a back throw, and is mostly used to gain stage control or initiate edgeguards.	The final hit of her Punch + Punch + Punch + Kick combo while wielding Love is Blue from Bayonetta 2.	3% (kick), 6% (throw)
Up Throw		Arc Wiper	Does an outside crescent kick. Does not have true combo potential; however, due to her aerial presence, up throw is usually used to initiate aerial combos as she can capitalize on the opponent's reaction.	The final hit of her Punch + Punch + Kick combo while wielding Scarborough Fair from the original Bayonetta.	3% (kick), 4.5% (throw)
Down Throw		Full Stomp	Stomps the opponent into the ground. Due to its high ending lag, it is unreliable as a combo starter, unlike most other down throws. It does have unusually high knockback growth, however, enabling it to kill off the top when not in position for forward throw to do so, though it is also ineffective for this regard unless she is on an elevated platform.	The final hit of her Punch + Punch + Punch + Kick + Kick + Kick combo while wielding Love is Blue from Bayonetta 2.	3% (stomp), 5% (throw)

Special Moves[]

Input	Image	Name	Description	Damage
Neutral Special		Bullet Climax/Charge Bullets	Fires bullets at a slight angle. The move can be cancelled by shielding or rolling, but only when fully charged. She alternates between two animations while charging and firing for each time she uses Bullet Climax: either she stands in a semi-crouching position and fires the guns in her hands, or she does a handstand and fires the guns on her feet. Both function identically, although Kirby's Copy Ability fires from noticeably different heights. Due to its angle, it is useful for edge-guarding and hindering aerial approaches, with the charged version being an extremely powerful KO option against recovering opponents. The uncharged version can also lock opponents on platforms.	1.35% (uncharged), 2.7% (charged)
Side Special		Heel Slide/Afterburner Kick	Either does a sliding kick on the ground, while the Bullet Arts version has her fire the guns on her feet, which is followed up with the aú aberto on the ground or does a diagonal diving kick in the air, which the Bullet Arts version is the same one as the one on the ground.	8% (Heel Slide, hit 1, clean), 7.5% (Heel Slide, hit 1, mid), 7% (Heel Slide, hit 1, late), 5% (Heel Slide, hit 2), 6% (After Burner Kick, standard, early/late), 7% (After Burner Kick, standard, clean), 6.5% (After Burner Kick, downward, kick), 5% (After Burner Kick, downward, landing)
Up Special		Witch Twist	Does an ascending, corkscrew pistol-whip. It hits multiple times but covers minimal vertical distance and extremely minimal horizontal distance. Despite this, it's still a very useful recovery option, as she is allowed to use one Witch Twist after each jump, including after a double jump. Holding the button causes her to additionally fire her guns from her hands and feet; hitting anyone directly above or below, to her sides and slightly diagonally under her. It is overall her primary combo initiator and extender as its low endlag and multiple uses allow her to perform an impressive variety of aerial strings. It's also essential for her ladder combos as she can immediately perform another one after the first one ends with precise timing, which can drag opponents close to the top blast line. Each final hit has different knockback trajectories,with the first sending diagonally upwards and the second sending at a horizontal angle with low knockback; the latter allows her to consistently combo into aerials.	3% (ground, hits 1 and 7), 0.2% (hits 2 - 5), 2% (air, hit 1)
Down Special		Witch Time	Uses her magic to slow down time around an opponent who attacks her, albeit only slowing down the attacking opponent as opposed to all opponents. Functions as a counterattack. Its duration is dependent on several factors: the opponent's damage, whether the attack was direct or indirect and frequency.	N/A

Final Smash[]

Infernal Climax: Says "Smashing!!", activates Witch Time to affect the whole stage & after attacking opponents enough times, saying "AVAVAGO!!", uses her hair as a conduit to summon Gomorrah who chomps them 4 times before firing a laser beam at them with Queen Butterfly also fires 1 as well as it roars, insta-KO'ing heavily damaged opponents.

Palutena's Guidance[]

Character	Transcript
Pit	An Umbra Witch has entered Skyworld! AHHHHH!
Palutena	Bayonetta. Nemesis of angels. Slaughterer of Centurions. Wearer of questionable outfits.
Pit	I wonder why Bayonetta hunts angels.
Palutena	If I had to guess, I'd say she drags them to the underworld so demons can devour their souls...
Pit	AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Whooooo... OK. But the angels Bayonetta hunts aren't nice angels like me. They're monsters...right?
Viridi	Angels can take many forms, just as goddesses can. Take Palutena for instance... Her current appearance is something humans can comprehend, but it's not her true form.
Palutena	You're one to talk, Viridi.
Viridi & Palutena	Hahahaha!
Pit	HAHAHAHA! Fighting...tips...PLEASE?!
Viridi	Ugh. If you get caught in one of her combos, just...like...wiggle around or something.

Trivia[]

Jennifer Hale became the replacement voice actress and recorded new lines after Hellena Taylor was caught lying & taking advantage of fans' concerns about the money voice actors get paid to get them to boycott Bayonetta 3 before it was released, which gave Brady flashbacks to when John Swan tried to do something similar to Dream with how commentary channels are so willing to stick up to smaller channels punching up to bigger channels.
Bayonetta's many alternate costumes throughout the franchise were considered, but were scrapped due to Brady thinking that would be too much.
She was originally going to get a new gimmick based off the Demon Masquerades from Bayonetta 3, but were used as her new aesthetic when using her Smash Attacks.
Her Final Smash was altered a bit.
When KO'd, she crystallizes & then explodes.
