Greninja

Greninja is a Water/Dark-type Pokémon from the Pokémon series. It is the final evolution of Froakie, which is the Water-type starter Pokémon of the Kalos region. It appears at #009 in the Central Kalos Pokédex and #658 in the National Pokédex.

Greninja are very swift Pokémon that act as if they were ninjas. They use their agility to confuse their opponents and throw powerful Water Shurikens in quick succession, or create blades of water to strike with at close distance. They wrap their long tongues around their necks as if they were scarves.

In M.U.G.E.N, Greninja was made by alerkina4; while the sprites are custom-made and hi-res, the animation quality leaves a lot to be desired. Another version is currently being worked on by Jetgoshi with Dylanius9000's assistance.

alerkina4's Greninja


As with alerkina4's other characters, Greninja is a 4-button character that lacks any Special or Hyper attacks, having only the bare minimum for a 4-button character. It is a spriteswap of Winnie The Pooh.

Past the 41 sprites, lack of attacks and static, jumpy animations, Greninja's hitboxes are highly unoptimised to the point of there being redundant hitboxes inside other hitboxes, though these are likely the hitboxes of the character Greninja is a spriteswap of.

As for Greninja's A.I., there is nothing to speak of. Using the engine's default A.I., Greninja simply blocks a lot, jumps around the stage and attacks at random intervals.

According to the creators, this version's specials and hypers will be based on various moves that Greninja is able to use in the games it has appeared in, with those that it used in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U being similar to their appearances in that game, though with minor tweaks.
