'''Sonic''', known as '''Sonic The Hedgehog''' ({{ja|ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ}}, ''Sonikku za Hejjihoggu'') in the [[Character Roll Call]], is a character from SEGA who appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as one of the two third-party characters (the other being {{SSBB|Snake}}). Sonic was the first unlockable character to be playable prior to the game's release. He was first playable in Nintendo Media Summit in October 2007, shortly after he was confirmed to be in the game. A swift character, Sonic [[dash|runs]] at an extremely fast pace that surpasses even {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}. Nintendo Power states that since Sonic isn't well known for his fighting skills, some of his fighting moves were influenced by SEGA's fighting property, ''Virtua Fighter''. A majority of Sonic's moves are also influenced by SEGA's ''Sonic The Fighters'' and (to a lesser extent) ''Sonic Battle''. He is voiced by [[Jason Griffith]]. | Confirmed on the [[Smash Bros.

Sonic is currently placed at 22nd on the ''Brawl'' [[tier list]] in the middle tier. Sonic is most known for his incredible movement speed, possessing by far the fastest [[dashing]] speed, as well as among the fastest [[walking]] and [[air speed]]s. His movement is boosted farther by his [[Spin Dash]] and [[Spin Charge]] moves, which allow him to rip across the stage at incredible speed while simultaneously attacking and/or [[jumping]]. The aforementioned Spin moves give Sonic a plethora of options to attack and confound the opponent, which can make it incredibly difficult to hit Sonic, while also aiding Sonic's ability to [[time out]] opponents. Additionally, Sonic possesses one of the best [[recover]]ies, which contains many options, while gaining great distance and generally making it difficult to [[edgeguard]] Sonic. Sonic also possesses an effective [[grab]] and [[throw]] game, and generally great [[damage]] racking abilities from his Spin moves, up throw, and effective [[combo]]s. Sonic is near crippled, however, by his severe lack of [[KO]]ing ability, being one of the weakest characters with few finishers, none of which are that effective. Sonic additionally possesses what is considered one of the worst [[moveset]]s, which outside his [[special move]]s, consists nearly entirely of terrible to mediocre moves that either possess little utility, or are outclassed by similar moves of other characters. Sonic also suffers from generally poor [[reach]], lacking a proper [[projectile]], and rather poor edgeguarding abilities against many characters (which exasperates his already poor KOing ability). Overall, Sonic has average [[matchup]]s, and his [[tournament]] results have been above average. | Sonic is currently placed at 22nd on the ''Brawl'' [[tier list]] in the middle tier.
