This attack consists of Lucario rushing at high speed in the direction chosen. It is possible to change directions during the dash (where Lucario will appear to "bend" through the air), as well as being able to [[wall cling]] if it comes in contact with a wall, making it a very useful [[recovery]] move. Lucario has a quick [[air speed]] while using this move, and it has a large {{b|sweet spot|hitbox}}, making ledge-grabbing easier.

From ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' onwards, the distance traveled by Extreme Speed increases as Lucario's damage rises, with high aura granting exceptional distance. At 0%, the distance gained is comparable to ''Brawl'''s, but at 190% the distance gained becomes incredible, to the point where Lucario can easily overshoot the stage if it isn't careful.  
Unlike in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' the distance traveled by Extreme Speed increases as Lucario's damage rises, which makes it a stronger recovery at damages where it's needed. At 0%, the distance gained is comparable to ''Brawl'''s, but at 190% the distance gained becomes incredible, to the point where Lucario can easily overshoot the stage if it isn't careful.  


As Lucario keeps Extreme Speed's velocity a second after the move ends, the move will grant even more distance if Extreme Speed ends in the air - a ground-hugging full aura Extreme Speed travels 3/4 of Final Destination, while an aerial Extreme Speed can cover more than its full length if the move ends in the air. This sheer speed can make the move especially difficult to aim while at high aura, and makes Extreme Speed a double-edged sword at max aura: Lucario can easily recover from anywhere offstage, but can as easily underestimate the distance it travels and shoot off the other side of the stage.
The speed Lucario gains doesn't end when the move ends, as it keeps Extreme Speed's velocity a second after the move ends, making Lucario move even further if the move ends in the air - a ground-hugging full aura Extreme Speed travels 3/4 of Final Destination, while an aerial Extreme Speed can cover even more than Final Destination's entire length if it ends in the air. This, along with Extreme Speed's ability to change direction in mid-flight and inability to land before the move completes, can make the move especially difficult to aim at high percentages as the sheer speed at high aura is difficult to control. In essence, the move becomes a double-edged sword at max aura: Lucario can easily recover from anywhere offstage, but can as easily underestimate the distance it travels and shoot off the other side of the stage.


As of ''Smash 4'', Extreme Speed deals damage to opponents only when the move ends, unlike in ''Brawl'', where it dealt no damage. This gives the move some offensive capabilities, as it can actually KO if Lucario and its opponent are at 120% or more. However, the move now has two seconds of landing lag if Lucario ends the move in the air, making it incredibly unsafe if the opponent is nearby; this can be remedied by ending the move parallel to the ground or making Lucario hit the stage face-first, which cuts ending lag to half a second.
