In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the distance traveled by Extreme Speed increases as Lucario's damage rises, which makes it a stronger recovery at damages where it's needed. This does however open the possibility that the move gains less distance at low damage, meaning Lucario may become easier to [[gimp]]. It also has the ability to give damage to the opponent only when Extreme Speed hits at the very tip, unlike in ''Brawl'' where Extreme Speed doesn't give damage.

Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the known variations:

# '''Ride the Wind''': Increases Lucario's control and distance, but is slightly slower and deals no damage.

# '''Extreme Speed Attack''': Removes the sweetspot and large knockback of the move, and is instead a multi-hit attack that is easier to connect with.  

==Description from the ''Smash for 3DS'' Foldout==

''"A dash through the air that can be steered with {{button|3DS|Circle Pad}}."''

In the [[Pokémon (universe)|''Pokémon'' games]], Extreme Speed was introduced in Generation II as a more powerful version of [[Quick Attack]]. Prior to Generation III, it was the signature move of [[bulbapedia:Arcanine|Arcanine]]. It is only learned by certain legendary Pokémon and by Lucario, Togekiss, Arcanine, Dratini, and special event Pokémon. It cannot be learned via TM. Lucario can naturally learn this move at level 51 in Generation IV and at level 65 in Generations IV and V. It is a physical Normal-type attack with 80 base power, 100% accuracy, and a +1 priority in Generation II-IV and a +2 priority in Generation V, meaning it will usually go first if there is no other higher priority attack being used as well, regardless of the user's Extreme Speed. In return for being exceptionally fast, this attack only has 5 PP (can be upgraded to 8 PP maximum), so ExtremeSpeed can only be used 5 times before running out of power.

Since the Generation VI ''Pokémon'' games reformatted the move's English name as "Extreme Speed", the move's name was similarly changed for ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. Despite this, Sakurai's Miiverse posts pre-release continued to refer to "ExtremeSpeed" without a space.

'''ExtremeHogging''' is the use of Extreme Speed to quickly grab the edge to edge-guard a player attempting to grab it. If the player uses the move, but holds ''down'' as the direction, Lucario zooms across the floor to the right. By going over the lip of the ledge, still holding down, Lucario will almost instantly grab the ledge. If the player wants to go left, it's a little harder, since left-and-down must pressed diagonally.

*[[Rayquaza]] - Rayquaza may randomly use this move during the boss fight against it. Rayquaza will rush off of the screen, then breeze forward in one direction, dealing damage and knockback, also generating wind. On lower levels of HP, Rayquaza will perform this move 3 times in a row. Some characters must jump over this, while some can crouch under its hitbox. Rayquaza uses this in similar fashion to how it would in ''Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire''.

*In ''Brawl'', if tap jump is disabled and the player performs Extreme Speed ending on the ground, Lucario will be unable to perform it again until it jumps.

*If the game is modified to run at a slower pace, such as via the [[Training mode]] or [[Special Brawl|Slow Brawl]], players can have considerably greater flexibility over Lucario's path; with proper manipulation, it is possible to allow Lucario to form double bends in its path.
