A '''dash''' is a form of ground movement faster than [[walking]]. It is performed by [[tap|tapping]] sideways on the [[control stick]]. The player's [[character]] enters his or her initial dash animation, in which they change directions with very little lag, and then proceeds to his or her running animation. In ''[[Brawl]]'', a character attempting to dash can [[trip]] instead. In ''[[Smash 4]]'', dashing off a platform will cause the character to perform a short flipping animation, and landing on another platform while continuing to hold the control stick in that direction will allow them to continue dashing. While dashing, characters can also perform their [[dash attack]], shield, or jump. The [[Bunny Hood]], [[Superspicy Curry]], and [[Super Mushroom]] items increases a character's running speed.

==Other terminology==
The '''initial dash''' is the first part of a character's dash, during which a character can [[Turn|change directions]] with only 1 frame of [[lag]]. The concept of the initial dash is vital to many forms of ground movement, such as [[dash-dancing]], [[fox-trotting]], and [[pivoting]]. However, from ''Brawl'' onwards, the window for turning around during an initial dash does not last for the entire dash (six frames in ''Smash 4''), making dash-dancing much harder, and fox-trotting is also not entirely dependent on the length of the initial dash. The best example of this is {{SSB4|Sheik}} and {{SSB4|Roy}}, who have nearly identical fox-trots despite Roy's initial dash being over twice as long as Sheik's (17 frames to her 8 frames).

The '''turn-around animation''' plays when the character attempts to change directions after their initial dash. Unlike in an initial dash, attempting to turn around during a run can take as long as 51 frames (Marth in ''Melee''), and before ''Smash 4'', it can only be cancelled with a jump (and therefore [[up smash]] and [[up special]]) or reversed [[side special]]. However, from ''Brawl'' onwards, cancelling the jump with an up smash or up special also reverses its direction, and in ''Smash 4'', the turn-around animation can be cancelled with a reversed forward tilt or forward smash.

A '''stutter step''' is the term for when a character begins to dash but stops almost immediately, often used for positioning and mindgames. Along with merely stopping, characters can also [[Dash-canceling|dash cancel]] via a variety of other methods.

The '''skidding animation''' plays when the character stops running after their initial dash and attempts to stop their momentum. The length of this animation varies between characters, but it can also vary depending on the speed the character is running at relative to their maximum running speed. Shorter skidding animations are preferred, particularly in ''Smash'' games where dash cancelling is impossible. For example, in ''Smash 4'', {{SSB4|Bowser}}, {{SSB4|Charizard}}, {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}, and {{SSB4|Lucario}} have extremely short skidding animations even after stopping at maximum speed, which effectively allows them to do any attack out of their runs with little lag in between, or even seamlessly begin another dash in the opposite direction. This animation can only be cancelled with a jump, or with an [[item]] pick up if one is nearby. Its first few frames can also be cancelled into any special move.

== In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' ==
=== Initial dash ===
Because the initial dash animation translates into the running animation much later than in ''[[Brawl]]'', it is a vital tool for movement in general and [[dash-dancing]] in particular.
During the initial dash, the following actions can be used:
* Altering the speed of the dash with the control stick, most notably backwards to [[Moonwalk]].
* [[Turn]]ing around by mashing the control stick in the opposite direction. Turning around takes one frame during which the character is standing and can do all ground attacks except neutral B. If the control stick stays in a neutral position after this pivot frame, the character will keep standing.
* Pressing A or C-Stick forward/backward during the first 3 frames to do a [[small step forward smash]]. This is only possible after dashing forward, not backward.
* Pressing A after the first 3 frames to do a [[dash attack]].
* Pressing L or R to shield. During the first two frames of a forward dash, L/R always trigger a roll. On frame 3, they trigger the shield, but with 1 frame delay. 
* Pressing L+A, R+A or Z to do a [[dash grab]].
* Jumping and [[jump cancel]]ling.
* Using forward special.
* Pressing forward again to enter run break animation. From here you can crouch immediately and do any move. This can be used for a quick dash into dtilt, or a non JC down special.

=== Run ===
During the run — the later part of the dash — different options are available:
* Pressing down to crouch. (Spending 1 frame in the ''RunBrake'' animation is necessary before the crouch can start.) 
* Turning around by mashing or pushing the control stick in the opposite direction. Turning around takes very long, up to 51 frames (Marth). During the turnaround animation, only a jump can interrupt it.
* Pressing A or C-Stick forward/backward during the first 3 frames to do a [[small step forward smash]]. This is only possible after dashing forward, not backward.
* Pressing A to do a [[dash attack]].
* Pressing L or R to shield. 
* Pressing L+A, R+A, or Z to do a [[dash grab]].
* Jumping and jump cancelling.
* Using special moves.

==Running speed==
'''Running speed''' is the rate at which a character can run.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' rankings===
Starting in ''Brawl'', much like with [[air acceleration]], there exist two acceleration values for each character's initial dash speed until it reaches their run speed: a base value that determines the minimum acceleration, and an additional value that is scaled based on how much the control stick is tilted. A character's maximum potential acceleration is the sum of these two values. For example, Lucario has a base value of 0.04 and an additional value of 0.15, so its dash acceleration can vary from 0.04 at minimum input to 0.19 at maximum input. If the character's initial dash speed is equal to their run speed, the acceleration values are not used, while if it is higher, the character's [[traction]] value is used to decrease it down to their run speed.

Note that several slow runners can use their [[dash attack]] to travel a far distance quicker, and some characters have a [[DACUS]] to increase mobility. The most notable case of this is {{SSBB|Snake}}, whose DACUS gives him much more stage control and ability to evade opponents.

==Trivia==
*There are some strange inconsistencies for some characters' running speeds:
**While generally being faster than Mario in the ''Mario'' games, Luigi has been slower in every ''Smash'' to date.
**Wolf and Falco dash slower than Fox, despite being faster than him in ''Star Fox: Assault''.
**Ike is a generally slow character in the ''Smash'' games, despite having good speed stats in ''Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn''.
**Lucario dashes significantly slower than Pikachu, Ivysaur, and Squirtle (''Smash Ultimate'') despite the former having the same base Speed stat and the latter two being slower in the ''Pokémon'' games.
***Also, in ''Pokémon'', Mega Lucario gets a slight speed increase, but Mega Lucario runs slower than regular Lucario in ''Smash 4''.
**King K. Rool is canonically faster than Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games when running away, yet is immensely slower than them in ''Ultimate''.
