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 and function as a character's primary burst option, but have noticeable [[ending lag]], making them very easy for wary opponents to [[punish]] (particularly using a [[shield grab]]).

Ultimate]]'', many dash attacks could be used for [[cross-up]]s due to a large amount of momentum inherited from the prior dash, | 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 and function as a character's primary burst option and [[approaching attack]], but have noticeable [[ending lag]] and contain other properties that make them highly committal, 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. Although ''Ultimate''{{'}}s reworking of [[jostle]] mechanics makes most grounded moves either more difficult or impossible to cross-up, there are still multiple dash attacks with this property. | |||
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]]. | 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]].

*[[Roy]]'s dash attack in ''Melee'' is infamous for [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kht7deE4Zyw not hitting properly] because the hitboxes are active for the same amount of frames as [[Marth]] while being much slower. As a result, the move barely covers half of its swing animation, with most of the frames being active before Roy swings his sword. Roy gained a new dash attack in ''Smash 4'' onwards, fixing this issue and making its sweetspot significantly more powerful, at the cost of higher ending lag. | |||
*[[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''. | *[[Kirby]]'s dash attack, exclusively in ''Melee'', will carry him off of platforms during its use.

*[[Snake]]'s dash attack in ''Ultimate'' is one of the best dash attacks in the game due to its fast startup, arm [[intangibility]], high knockback, and ability to setup edgeguarding opportunities. It can KO opponents near the ledge at high percents and can easily launch opponents away from Snake even at low percents due to its high base knockback, giving Snake one of the best burst options in the game. | *[[Snake]]'s dash attack in ''Ultimate'' is one of the best dash attacks in the game due to its fast startup, arm [[intangibility]], high knockback, and ability to setup edgeguarding opportunities.

*[[Diddy Kong]]'s dash attack in ''Brawl'' has its interruptibility come out immediately when the last hitbox ceases, giving it literally no ending lag and making it very difficult to punish. It can also be used to pick up [[Banana Peel|banana peels]], and possesses strong combo potential at a variety of percentages.
