'''Sonic''' ({{ja|ソニック|Sonikku}}, ''Sonic'') is a character from [[SEGA]] who appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as one of the two third-party characters (the other being {{SSBB|Snake}} from [[Konami]]). Sonic was the first unlockable character to be playable prior to the game's release, first playable in Nintendo Media Summit in October 2007, shortly after he was confirmed to be in the game on October 10. A swift character, Sonic [[dash|runs]] at an extremely fast pace that surpasses even {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}. Nintendo Power states that since Sonic is not well known for his fighting skills, some of his fighting moves were influenced by SEGA's fighting property, ''[[Virtua Fighter]]''. A majority of Sonic's moves are also influenced by SEGA's ''Sonic the Fighters'' and (to a much lesser extent) ''Sonic Battle''. Sonic is voiced by Jason Griffith in English, reprising his role from both the ''Sonic X'' anime and in the games from ''Shadow the Hedgehog'' and ''Sonic Rush'' up to ''Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing'', and by Jun'ichi Kanemaru in Japanese, reprising his role from ''Sonic Adventure'' onward.

Sonic is placed at 22nd on the ''Brawl'' [[tier list]] in the middle tier, which is his worst placement in the series. Sonic is most known for his incredible movement speed, possessing by far the fastest [[dashing]] speed, as well as among the fastest [[walking]] and [[air speed]]s. His movement is boosted farther by his [[Spin Dash]] and [[Spin Charge]] moves, which allow him to rip across the stage at incredible speed while simultaneously attacking and/or [[jumping]]. The aforementioned Spin moves give Sonic a plethora of options to attack and confound the opponent, which can make it incredibly difficult to hit Sonic, while also aiding Sonic's ability to [[time out]] opponents. Additionally, Sonic possesses one of the best [[recover]]ies, which contains many options, while gaining great distance and generally making it difficult to [[edgeguard]] Sonic. Sonic also possesses an effective [[grab]] and [[throw]] game, and generally great [[damage]] racking abilities from his Spin moves, up throw, and effective [[combo]]s.

Sonic is nearly crippled regarding his [[KO]]ing ability, though, being arguably one of the weakest characters and having few finishers, none of which are particularly effective. Sonic possesses what is considered one of the worst [[moveset]]s, which, outside his [[special move]]s, consists almost entirely of weak moves that either possess little utility or are outclassed by similar moves of other characters. While Sonic's forward smash and back air are fairly strong, those moves, along with the character in general, suffer from generally poor [[reach]], which combined with his lack of a proper [[projectile]] gives him a rather linear approach. Overall, Sonic has average [[matchup]]s, and his [[tournament]] results have been above average.
