Sonic (SSBU)

Sonic (ソニック, Sonikku) is a playable veteran in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed in the reveal trailer in E3 2017, being the first 3rd party character to be announced following SEGA's involvement into the development. He is also one of SEGA's mascots, with the others being Arle, and Alex Kidd. He voiced by Roger Craig Smith in the English versions, and Jun'ichi Kanemaru in the Japanese version. He also has many other voice actors for the other versions of the game.
Sonic has had some decent changes into his moveset to match his appearance in his recent game, Sonic Forces. Sonic now has moves that further impact his speedy and stylish game style, such as his boost attack.
== Changes ==
* Sonic has been updated to have more vibrant colors and resembles his appearance in Sonic Forces, with shorter spines. His spin ball is more "glowy" and has a more defined "spine" effect.
* Sonic tends to be based off how expressive he is in Sonic Boom and the anime Sonic OVA.
* Sonic is now faster in walking speed.
* Sonic's dash attack is a bit stronger.
* Down tilt now creates a blue aura, it's stronger.
* Up tilt is now a flip kick that resembles his Sonic Flare from Sonic Battle.
* Neutral Air now resembles the Insta Shield from Sonic 3 and Knuckles, giving him brief super armor.
* Forward Air is now the Sonic Eagle.
* Neutral Special now shows a target. Sonic can homing attack an enemy(s) up to 3 times in a row. This puts Sonic into a "special fall" similarly to his Spring Jump.
* Side Special is now Boost. Sonic will zoom forwards in a blue aura.
* Down Special can now be shield canceled.
* Super Sonic is much more useful. He has his own moveset.
== Trivia ==
* Sonic's official artwork is a reference to his pose on Sonic 2's title screen and Sonic 4's title screen.
* Sonic is the fastest character in the game.
