[[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]], 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, though there are still multiple dash attacks with this property in ''Ultimate''.

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==
*[[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 causes him to end in his [[crouch]]ing pose instead of the usual idle pose, though this effect is mostly cosmetic.
*[[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.
*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 very punishable if missed and makes his overall usage somehow limited.
