[[File:FoxSSB4DashAttack.png|300px|thumb|[[Fox]]'s dash attack in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'']]

A '''dash attack''' ({{ja|ダッシュ攻撃|Dasshu kōgeki}}) is an attack performed by pressing the [[attack]] button while [[dashing]]. Most dash attacks come out quickly and function as a character's primary burst option and [[approaching attack]], but have noticeable [[ending lag]] and contain other properties that make them highly committal, making them very easy for wary opponents to [[punish]] (particularly using a [[shield grab]]).

Prior to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', many dash attacks could be used for [[cross-up]]s due to a large amount of momentum inherited from the prior dash. Although ''Ultimate''{{'}}s reworking of [[jostle]] mechanics makes most grounded moves either more difficult or impossible to cross-up, there are still multiple dash attacks with this property.

If the grab button or either of the shield buttons are pressed repeatedly right after attempting a dash attack, the attack will be canceled and turned into a [[boost grab]]. Similarly, in ''[[Brawl]]'', many dash attacks can be interrupted by performing an [[up smash]] in a technique labeled the [[dash attack canceled up smash]] (DACUS) to provide a large boost of momentum. Certain dash attacks are fast enough to hit before the up smash comes out, allowing for a [[Gatling Combo]].

==Notable dash attacks==
[[File:Roy's Melee Dash Attack.gif|right|thumb|{{SSBM|Roy}}'s dash attack in ''Melee'', showcasing its infamous hitbox.]]
*[[Roy]]'s dash attack in ''Melee'' is infamous for [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kht7deE4Zyw not hitting properly] because the hitboxes are active for the same amount of frames as [[Marth]] while being much slower. As a result, the move barely covers half of its swing animation, with most of the frames being active before Roy swings his sword. Roy gained a new dash attack in ''Smash 4'' onwards, fixing this issue and making its sweetspot significantly more powerful, at the cost of higher ending lag.
*[[Kirby]]'s dash attack, exclusively in ''Melee'', will carry him off of platforms during its use. All other dash attacks do not allow their users to leave the platform they are standing on, including the same attack in ''Ultimate''.
*[[Snake]]'s dash attack in ''Ultimate'' is one of the best dash attacks in the game due to its fast startup, arm [[intangibility]], high knockback, and ability to setup edgeguarding opportunities. It can KO opponents near the ledge at high percents and can easily launch opponents away from Snake even at low percents due to its high base knockback, giving Snake one of the best burst options in the game. 
*[[Luigi]]'s dash attack has been infamously inconsistent throughout most of the series' lifespan. In ''64'' and ''Melee'', a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sa25aojJDs developer oversight] unintentionally left it without a stronger finishing hit, making it extremely unsafe on hit. While this hitbox was fixed in ''Brawl'', it remained unsafe through the rest of the games due to its low shieldstun and high ending lag. ''Ultimate'' drastically buffed the move by considerably decreasing its ending lag, making its multihits connect much more reliably, and increasing its damage and knockback, granting it utility as a surprise finisher and making it significantly harder to punish on whiff. 
*[[Wolf]]'s dash attack in ''Brawl'' is the only one in the series to bring all the momentum from the dash to an instantaneous halt.
*[[Diddy Kong]]'s dash attack in ''Brawl'' has its interruptibility come out immediately when the last hitbox ceases, giving it literally no ending lag and making it very difficult to punish. It can also be used to pick up [[Banana Peel|banana peels]], and possesses strong combo potential at a variety of percentages. All of this combined makes it one of Diddy Kong's best moves in ''Brawl''. 
*While several attacks throughout the series grant brief [[intangibility]], [[Palutena]]'s dash attack is one of the very few attacks in the series (and the only dash attack) to grant outright [[invincibility]], protecting her extended arm due to the use of her shield.
*Like many of his other attacks, [[King K. Rool]]'s dash attack utilizes his characteristic [[Belly Super Armor]] – in its case, for the entire duration his stomach is extended.
*Prior to ''Smash 4'', [[Peach]], [[Zelda]], [[Pit]], and [[Mewtwo]] had unique dash attacks while holding battering items, which allowed them to hit twice in the case of the former three, while Mewtwo's hits several times.
*The dash attacks of [[Villager]] and [[Isabelle]] are the only ones that are projectiles.
*[[King Dedede]]'s dash attack is the strongest dash attack from ''Brawl'' onwards, being able to KO most characters at 75% from the center of Final Destination and being stronger than some of the cast's smash attacks. However, it comes out on frame 26 and has 62 frames of ending lag, which makes it the slowest dash attack in the series and effectively reserves it for hard reads and ledge-trapping scenarios.
*[[Sephiroth]] and [[Sora]] are the only sword-users that do not use a sword for their dash attacks.
