 ==Changes from ''Brawl''==
-Sonic has received a mix of [[buff]]s and [[nerf]]s in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4'', with the former significantly outweighing the latter, but was overall buffed. The most noticeable improvement has been to his KO potential, which was a crippling weakness in ''Brawl''. A number of his attacks have had their knockback increased: his smash attacks are now reliable KOing options, while his back throw now possesses KO potential. Up throw also had its knockback increased; when coupled with its much lower damage output and the changes to [[hitstun]] canceling, it has become an even more reliable combo starter.

 Lastly, a number of Sonic's moves have been improved from being ineffective and situational to possessing utility: forward tilt is better at spacing and starting [[Tech-chasing|tech-chases]]; his new dash attack is better at [[Punishment|punishing]] and ending his tech-chases; his new down smash is a [[semi-spike]] that has a consistent damage output and much less start-up lag; and his neutral aerial is now a capable combo starter when [[Short hop fast fall L-cancel#Short hop fast fall|SHFF]]'d.
