The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

Ground Attacks

  • Change Neutral attack's third hit has a slightly different animation.
  • Change Down tilt launches at a more upward angle, improving its combo potential but worsening its edgeguard potential.
  • Change Sonic's previous dash attack, which resembled the Spin Attack from his games, has been changed into a lunge kick.

Aerial Attacks

Throws/other attacks

  • Change Forward throw now sends opponents at a more horizontal angle.
  • Nerf Sonic's up throw and forward throw have less knockback.
  • Buff Down throw deals more damage: 7% → 10%.

Special Moves

  • Change Homing Attack now shows a reticle on the opponent right before Sonic is about to strike.
  • Buff Homing Attack deals more damage when charged: 12% → 15%.
  • Buff Homing Attack has decreased start-up with the attack button pressed.
  • Nerf Homing Attack has more start-up.
  • Nerf Sonic cannot shield cancel his Spin Dash anymore. It also now stops upon hitting an opponent's shield.
