[[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, but have noticeable [[ending lag]] and are predictable, making them very easy to [[punish]] (particularly using a [[shield grab]]). Dash attacks typically use the momentum behind the dash to pull off some sort of attack, like a sliding kick. In ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', another less common way to perform dash attacks is to tilt the [[C-Stick]] down (with it set to either Smash or Attack) after initiating the dash; this can be more useful as it allows the player to instantly use a dash attack during the first frames after tapping the Control Stick to dash, without accidentally performing a [[forward smash]].

In ''[[Brawl]]'', many dash attacks can be interrupted by performing an up smash, which is known as a [[dash attack canceled up smash]] (abbreviated as DACUS). While this is often used to increase the distance of certain up smashes without actually hitting with the dash attack, some characters such as {{SSBB|Falco}} have fast enough dash attacks that can hit the opponent before being canceled into the up smash; connecting with both is known as a Gatling Combo. A dash attack can also be grab canceled, leading into a [[boost grab]]; unlike the DACUS, which can only be done in ''Brawl'', the boost grab can be performed in every game in the series starting with ''Melee''.

Skilled players generally avoid using the majority of dash attacks by themselves to [[approach]] (with the exception of a few of the more useful ones that can also be used in [[combo]]s), as they are usually predictable and can be easily punished, as mentioned above. However, many players use dash attacks to perform [[cross-up]]s, which place the user behind their opponent, putting them in a less vulnerable position. In ''Brawl'', the DACUS can also a good approach option, because depending on the character, it sends the user a further distance and leaves them in a less vulnerable position to be punished.

===Stalled dash attack===
A '''stalled dash attack''' is essentially a dash attack that is performed at the last possible frame of the characters' running animation, similar to [[dash dancing]] in ''[[Melee]]''. The character will perform their dash attack while they appear to stand still instead of their basic [[neutral attack]]. This is most notable when used by Snake, Luigi, and Donkey Kong.

==Dash attacks in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Most dash attacks in ''SSB4'' have high base knockback, but low knockback scaling. As such, most are useful for throwing the opponent off, but are ineffective KO tools for anything other than Sudden Death, Horde Battles in Special Orders, or other lightweight scenarios. Exceptions are listed below.

==Notable dash attacks==
*{{SSB|Luigi}}'s dash attack in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' is the only one that hits multiple times. This trait is soon shared among {{SSBM|Ness}} by ''Melee'', {{SSBB|Kirby}} and {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}} by ''Brawl'', {{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}}, {{SSB4|Mega Man}}, {{SSB4|Sonic}}, {{SSB4|Pac-Man}}, and {{SSB4|Corrin}} by ''Smash 4'', and {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}} by ''Ultimate''.
*{{SSBM|Kirby}}'s dash attack in ''Melee'' is the only one that can go off edges.
*In ''Melee'', {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}'s dash attack with battering items involves spinning the item in front of it, hitting opponents multiple times.
*{{SSBB|Falco}}, {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSBB|Link}}, {{SSBB|Sheik}}, {{SSBB|Snake}}, {{SSBB|Sonic}}, {{SSBB|Wario}}, and {{SSBB|Wolf}} all receive a great momentum boost when using a DACUS in ''Brawl''.
*In ''Brawl'', {{SSBB|Pit}}'s dash attack with battering items hits opponents twice.
*King Dedede's dash attack is well known for its power and large hitbox duration. In ''Smash 4'', it is more powerful than a majority of smash attacks.
*Link's dash attack in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' is similar to King Dedede's in that it has slow startup, but considerably high knockback especially when hitting with the tip, working as a reliable KO move at high percentages. Its animation is reminiscent of the Jump Attack used in several ''Zelda'' games, including ''Twilight Princess''.
*Villager and Isabelle's dash attack is, so far, the only one that is a projectile, and thus the only one that can be reflected.
*Mario's dash attack is based off the sliding kick from ''Super Mario 64'', but when he's holding an item, the animation is replaced with the slide tackle from that same game.
*{{SSB4|Meta Knight}}'s dash attack in ''Smash 4'' is famous for its speed, range, and follow-up potential. It can combo into up tilt, up smash, all aerials, [[Mach Tornado]], and [[Shuttle Loop]] at varying percents, with the most well-known combo involving multiple up aerials and finishing off with a high-altitude Shuttle Loop, KO'ing at low percents, and as a result the move is among the best combo-starters and is widely considered to be the best dash attack in the game.
*{{SSBU|Wario}}'s dash attack in ''Ultimate'' is his iconic Shoulder Tackle. Its high knockback combined with its startup being a mere 5 frames makes it one of Wario's most devastating tools, working as a combo starter on the late hit against tech chases and a powerful KO move on the early hit, especially when combined with the comboability of his down tilt.

==Trivia==
*[[Kirby]] has a different dash attack in the first three games, being the only character to hold this trait. However, Kirby's dash attack in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' is visually the same as his dash attack in ''Brawl'', and in ''Ultimate'', it was changed back to his dash attack from ''Melee''.
