Sonic Blade (ソニックレイヴ, Sonic Rave) is Sora's side special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Overview

Sora dashes forward with a quick thrusting attack of his Keyblade. If the player makes no further input, the move ends. Inputting any direction causes Sora to do another dash in that direction, for a total of up to three dashes, though its range is decreased with each use. Pressing or holding the special button instead has Sora move directly towards the nearest opponent within range, indicated by the opponent having a blue targeting reticle on their person, regardless of what direction the stick is in. This homing dash does slightly more damage than the regular dash. Sora goes into helpless when the move is complete. Unlike many similar moves, Sonic Blade will not stop at ledges, making it easy to self destruct if not careful.

When using it for recovery, holding the special button will cause the final charge to home in on the nearest ledge. It can also be canceled out of Aerial Sweep at the peak of the move, although the reverse is not possible.

Origin

Sora executing the move against Stealth Sneak in Kingdom Hearts

Sonic Blade is a recurring ability in the Kingdom Hearts series. It was introduced in the original game as one of Sora's special abilities, in which he dashes at enemies up to 6 times before finishing them off with a final thrust. Cloud Strife also uses Sonic Blade in his battle against Sora in Olympus Coliseum.

Sora obtains this ability by speaking to Cloud after defeating Cerberus in Olympus Coliseum's Preliminary Tournament. In later games and in the HD 1.5 ReMIX version, it is implemented as Reaction Commands. Early incarnations of the ability can only be executed on the ground, but its iterations from Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance and Kingdom Hearts III can be performed in mid-air, like in Ultimate.

Lock-On is a targeting mechanism in the series, allowing the user to permanently target a single enemy or attackable object.
