**{{buff|Sonic's dash attack has been substantially altered. It is now a Spin Attack followed by a flying kick. Compared to the previous dash attack, it has more knockback (70 (base), 50 (scaling) → 80/125). Unlike the previous dash attack, it hits multiple times. These differences make it more effective at [[punish]]ing and [[tech-chasing]].}}
**{{change|Sonic has a new dash attack. He still performs a Spin Attack but it now ends with a flying kick. The move acts as a multi hit, rather than having a clean hit and a late hit (6% (clean)/4% (late) → 1% (hits 1-3)/3% (hit 4)/6% (total)).}}
**{{nerf|Dash attack has more startup (frame 4 → 5) and significantly more ending lag (FAF 44 → 62) compared to the previous dash attack. It is also less reliable due to being a multi hit.}}
**{{buff|Dash attack has larger hitboxes (3u (clean)/2.5u (late) → 3u/3u (hits 1-3)/5u/3.5u/3.5u (hit 4)).}}
**{{buff|The final hit deals more knockback compared to the previous clean hit (70 (base), 50 (scaling) → 80/125), greatly improving its KO potential despite its lower damage.}}  
**{{nerf|Dash attack has more startup with a shorter duration (frames 4-7 (clean)/8-24 (late) → 5-15 (hits 1-3)/17-20 (hit 4)).}}
**{{nerf|Dash attack has much more ending lag (FAF 44 → 62).}}
**{{nerf|Dash attack covers less distance.}}
**{{nerf|Due to it now being a multi hit, dash attack is overall less reliable, as opponents can fall out of the multi hits before the final hit connects.}}
**{{nerf|The final hit launches opponents at a less favorable angle compared to the previous clean hit (80° → 70°), hindering its KO potential and making it more susceptible to DI.}}
