Overall, while Sonic still retains his powerful attributes and combo game, several of Sonic's most powerful tools from ''Smash 4'' have either been worsened or have been removed altogether. As a result, Sonic must take advantage of ''Ultimate's'' reworked mechanics and gear towards a more offensive playstyle than in the previous game. This has lead to a generally less effective character between games, as Sonic is forced to make greater use of his below-average moveset compared to his appearance in ''Smash 4'', where he mainly relied on Spin Dash to compensate for his generally underwhelming attacks.

Despite his nerfs, and a lower representation as a result of previous ''Smash 4'' Sonic players (including {{sm|Jakal}}, {{sm|kuma}}, and {{sm|Seagull Joe}}) either relegating him to a secondary or dropping him altogether, Sonic is still achieving pretty solid results competitively, albeit not with the same success as in ''Smash 4''. As a result, Sonic's overall perception has been positive in spite of his initial mediocre perception. Players such as {{Sm|ZeRo}}, {{sm|Samsora}}, {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|VoiD}}, {{sm|ESAM}}, {{sm|Dabuz}} and {{Sm|Leffen}} view him as a high tier with Tweek claiming , that he is a Top Tier Character, while {{Sm|Mew2King}} views him as an upper mid-tier. Sonic's most notable results were given to the efforts of players including {{sm|Wrath}}, {{sm|Sonix}}, {{sm|Sonido}}, and especially {{sm|KEN}}, the latter of which has made several notable placements and has wins over many high-level players. As a result, Sonic's true viability currently remains up for debate, but his reception is on the rise.
