In the English version, Sonic is now voiced by {{s|wikipedia|Roger Craig Smith}}, albeit via recycled voice clips from games such as ''Sonic Generations'' and ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games''. This reflects his succession of {{s|wikipedia|Jason Griffith}} as Sonic's voice actor, who voiced Sonic from 2005 until 2010. {{s|wikipedia|Jun'ichi Kanemaru}} reprises his role in the Japanese version, albeit through recycled voice clips from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. For the first time, Sonic has alternate voices for the French, Spanish, German, and Italian versions, as ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' games from ''Sonic Generations'' onward were dubbed into those languages; he is voiced by Alexandre Gillet, Jonatán López, Marc Stachel, and Renato Novara respectively.

Sonic is ranked 7th/8th out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the A tier and tying him with {{SSB4|Fox}}. This is a significant improvement over his mid-tier placement in ''Brawl'', where he was ranked 22nd out of 38. Sonic unsurprisingly boasts the fastest [[dash]]ing speed in the game; when coupled with his [[special move]]s allowing him to attack while in motion with little fear of reprisal, Sonic's [[approach]] and [[neutral game]] are both impressive. The majority of Sonic's moveset also has improved utility, most notably in regard to his KO potential.
