A '''dash''' is a form of ground movement faster than [[walking]]. It is performed by [[tap|tapping]] sideways on the [[control stick]]. The player's [[character]] enters his or her initial dash animation, in which they change directions with very little lag, and then proceeds to his or her running animation. In ''[[Brawl]]'', a character attempting to dash can [[trip]] instead. In ''[[Smash 4]]'' and ''[[Ultimate]]'', dashing off a platform will cause the character to perform a short flipping animation, and landing on another platform while continuing to hold the control stick in that direction will allow them to continue dashing. While dashing, characters can also perform their [[dash attack]], shield, or jump. The [[Bunny Hood]], [[Superspicy Curry]], and [[Super Mushroom]] items increases a character's running speed.

==Initial dash==
The '''initial dash''' is the first part of a character's dash, during which a character gains a quick burst of speed before transitioning into their run. During a character's initial dash, they accelerate significantly more quickly than they do while in their run animation, and this applies to the dash turnaround animation as well, allowing a fighter to turn around relatively quickly. In addition, during an initial dash, certain options that are normally available to the player cannot be performed, such as shielding, and in ''Ultimate'', canceling into a tilt. Initial dashes have their own speed limits independent from a character's regular running speed, and these speeds are rarely the same as a character's running speed.
 
The concept of the initial dash is vital to many forms of ground movement, especially in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', such as [[dash-dancing]], [[fox-trotting]], and [[pivoting]]. However, from ''Brawl'' onwards, the window for turning around during an initial dash does not last for the entire dash, instead only lasting for the first 6 frames, making dash-dancing much harder, and fox-trotting is also not entirely dependent on the length of the initial dash. An example of this is {{SSB4|Sheik}} and {{SSB4|Roy}} in ''Smash 4'', who have nearly identical fox-trots despite Roy's initial dash being over twice as long as Sheik's (17 frames to her 8 frames). In ''Ultimate'', a pivot dash can be performed at the end of a character's initial dash, similarly to dash dancing, but with much more restrictive timing, and with the additional 2 frames of startup that pivot dashes have in ''Ultimate''.

The '''initial dash''' is the first part of a character's dash, during which a character can [[Turn|change directions]] with only 1 frame of [[lag]]. The concept of the initial dash is vital to many forms of ground movement, such as [[dash-dancing]], [[fox-trotting]], and [[pivoting]]. However, from ''Brawl'' onwards, the window for turning around during an initial dash does not last for the entire dash (six frames in ''Smash 4''), making dash-dancing much harder, and fox-trotting is also not entirely dependent on the length of the initial dash. The best example of this is {{SSB4|Sheik}} and {{SSB4|Roy}}, who have nearly identical fox-trots despite Roy's initial dash being over twice as long as Sheik's (17 frames to her 8 frames).
The '''turn-around animation''' plays when the character attempts to change directions after their initial dash. Unlike in an initial dash, attempting to turn around during a run can take as long as 51 frames (Marth in ''Melee''), and before ''Smash 4'', it can only be canceled with a jump (and therefore [[up smash]] and [[up special]]) or reversed [[side special]]. However, from ''Brawl'' onwards, canceling the jump with an up smash or up special also reverses its direction, and in ''Smash 4'', the turn-around animation can be canceled with a reversed forward tilt or forward smash. In ''Ultimate'' it can be canceled with all ground moves, doing which will make characters keep some momentum from the animation. Coupled with the universal speed buffs, this allows characters like {{SSBU|Chrom}} and {{SSBU|Sheik}} with high ground speed but laggy dash attacks to use running forward tilt as an approach option. Any shield input is also ignored during this animation, and due to the way the ''Ultimate'' input system works, pressing the grab button will produce a 1 frame attack input, allowing for uncharged smash attacks.

The '''skidding animation''' plays when the character stops running after their initial dash and attempts to stop their momentum. The length of this animation varies between characters, but it can also vary depending on the speed the character is running at relative to their maximum running speed. Shorter skidding animations are preferred, particularly in ''Smash'' games where dash canceling is impossible. For example, in ''Smash 4'', {{SSB4|Bowser}}, {{SSB4|Charizard}}, {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}, and {{SSB4|Lucario}} have extremely short skidding animations even after stopping at maximum speed, which effectively allows them to do any attack out of their runs with little lag in between, or even seamlessly begin another dash in the opposite direction. This animation can only be canceled with a jump, or with an [[item]] pick up if one is nearby. Its first few frames can also be canceled into any special move.

''Super Smash Bros.'' uses a different scale for mobility specs compared to later games. The scale approximately converts to <code>(a / 30)</code> (so for example, Captain Falcon's NTSC run speed of 75 is about equivalent to a run speed of 2.5 in future games).

The Japanese version data and NA dash data was taken from [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=100456 Antdgar's Frame Data]
The data shown here was taken from [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=100456 Antdgar's Frame Data] and [https://smashboards.com/threads/simple-facts-that-you-may-not-know.308210/post-15770633 Madao's Character Data] posts. Captain Falcon is the only character whose speed changes according to the version of the game.


===''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' rankings===
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' rankings===
Starting in ''Melee'', much like with [[air acceleration]], there exist two acceleration values for each character's initial dash speed until it reaches their run speed: a base value that determines the minimum acceleration, and an additional value that is scaled based on how much the control stick is tilted. A character's maximum potential acceleration is the sum of these two values. For example, Pikachu has a base value of 0.01 and an additional value of 0.15, so its dash acceleration can vary from 0.01 at minimum input to 0.16 at maximum input. If the character's initial dash speed is equal to their run speed, the acceleration values are not used, while if it is higher, the character's [[traction]] value is used to decrease it down to their run speed.

Run speeds have been buffed across the board for most characters by roughly 10% with the exception of Ryu. Additionally, most initial dashes have seen significant speed increases, which when combined with the altered [[foxtrot]] mechanics gives all characters an effective dash-dance.
In ''Ultimate'', run speeds have been buffed across the board by roughly 10%, with the exception of a few characters (for example, {{SSBU|Snake}}'s run speed was increased by more than 10%, {{SSBU|Ike}} and {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}}'s were increased by less than 10%, and {{SSBU|Ryu}}'s wasn't changed at all). Additionally, most initial dashes have seen significant speed increases, which when combined with the altered [[foxtrot]] mechanics gives all characters an effective dash-dance. However, turnaround dashes now have {{rollover|3 frames of delay|excluding Dark Samus, who only has 2|y}} before fighters begin accelerating, as opposed to the 1 frame delay of a regular dash, making it take slightly longer for fighters to begin retreating by dashing.

==Trivia==
*In ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', Dr. Mario's dash speed (along with most of his other attributes) is actually coded to be identical to Mario's. However, due to external multipliers, his dash speed is slower in-game as a result.
*In ''Smash 4'', Sonic and Lucas are the only characters whose dashing speeds remain untouched from their previous appearances.
*Mewtwo is the character who holds the title for the largest dashing speed increase from one game to another; its dashing speed was increased by 0.65 units in its transition from ''Melee'' to ''Smash 4''. Conversely, Ganondorf holds the title for the largest decrease from one game to another; his dashing speed was decreased by 0.19 units in his transition from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl''.
*Charizard is the character who holds the title for the largest initial dash increase from one game to another; its initial dash was increased by 1.288 units in its transition from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate''.
*Banjo & Kazooie's dash is the Talon Trot, where Kazooie will run while carrying Banjo on her back. It is one of only two of the duo's moves that give Kazooie a hurtbox, with the other being their up tilt.
*There are some inconsistencies for some characters' running speeds in their origin games, presumably due to balancing reasons:
*There are some inconsistencies for some characters' running speeds in their origin games, presumably due to balancing reasons:
**While generally being faster than Mario in the ''Mario'' games, like in ''New Super Luigi U'' and the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' series, Luigi has been slower in every game in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to date.
**While generally being faster than Mario in more modern ''Mario'' games, like in ''New Super Luigi U'' and the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' series, Luigi has been slower in every game in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to date. It likely references him being slower than Mario in earlier appearances, such as ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', as a trade-off for higher jumps.
**In most ''Mario'' series spin-offs, Bowser often has among the lowest speed stats, but has above average run speed in all ''Super Smash Bros. '' games featuring him, especially ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
**Wolf and Falco dash slower than Fox, despite being faster than him in ''Star Fox: Assault''.
**Wolf and Falco dash slower than Fox, despite being faster than him in ''Star Fox: Assault''.
**Ike is a generally slow character in the ''Smash'' games, despite having good speed stats in ''Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn''.
**Ike is a generally slow character in the ''Smash'' games, despite having great speed stats in ''Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn''. Also the case with [[Byleth]].
***However, in ''Fire Emblem: Fates'' as a secret Amiibo fighter, Ike has poor speed stats, likely in reference to his Smash appearances.

**Lucario dashes significantly slower than Pikachu (in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'') and Ivysaur (in ''Brawl'') despite the former having the same base Speed stat and the latter being slower in the ''Pokémon'' games.
**Mewtwo dashes significantly slower than Pikachu and Pichu, (in ''Melee'') despite Mewtwo having a higher base Speed stat than Pikachu and Pichu in the ''Pokémon'' games.
***Also, in ''Pokémon'', Mega Lucario gets a slight speed increase, but Mega Lucario runs slower than regular Lucario in ''Smash 4''.
**Lucario dashes significantly slower than Pikachu, Pichu, and Ivysaur (in ''Brawl'') despite Pikachu having the same base Speed stat and Pichu and Ivysaur being slower in the ''Pokémon'' games.
**King K. Rool is canonically faster than Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games when running away, yet is immensely slower than them in ''Ultimate''.
***Also, in ''Pokémon'', Mega Lucario gets a notable speed increase, but Mega Lucario runs slower than regular Lucario in ''Smash 4''.

Mario dashing in Melee
Cloud dashing in Smash 4
"Run" redirects here. For information on the CPU mode in Brawl, see List of CPU modes.
For the Japanese term "Dash Fighter", see Clone.

A dash is a form of ground movement faster than walking. It is performed by tapping sideways on the control stick. The player's character enters their initial dash animation, in which they change directions with very little lag, and then proceeds to their running animation. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a character attempting to dash can trip instead. In Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, dashing off a platform will cause the character to perform a short flipping animation, and landing on another platform while continuing to hold the control stick in that direction will allow them to continue dashing. While dashing, characters can also perform their dash attack, shield, or jump. The Bunny Hood and Super Mushroom items increases a character's running speed.

Initial dashEdit

The initial dash is the first part of a character's dash, during which a character gains a quick burst of speed before transitioning into their run. During a character's initial dash, they accelerate significantly more quickly than they do while in their run animation, and this applies to the dash turnaround animation as well, allowing a fighter to turn around relatively quickly. In addition, during an initial dash, certain options that are normally available to the player cannot be performed, such as shielding, and in Ultimate, canceling into a tilt. Initial dashes have their own speed limits independent from a character's regular running speed, and these speeds are rarely the same as a character's running speed.

The concept of the initial dash is vital to many forms of ground movement, especially in Super Smash Bros. Melee, such as dash-dancing, fox-trotting, and pivoting. However, from Brawl onwards, the window for turning around during an initial dash does not last for the entire dash, instead only lasting for the first 6 frames, making dash-dancing much harder, and fox-trotting is also not entirely dependent on the length of the initial dash. An example of this is Sheik and Roy in Smash 4, who have nearly identical fox-trots despite Roy's initial dash being over twice as long as Sheik's (17 frames to her 8 frames). In Ultimate, a pivot dash can be performed at the end of a character's initial dash, similarly to dash dancing, but with much more restrictive timing, and with the additional 2 frames of startup that pivot dashes have in Ultimate.

Other terminologyEdit

The turn-around animation plays when the character attempts to change directions after their initial dash. Unlike in an initial dash, attempting to turn around during a run can take as long as 51 frames (Marth in Melee), and before Smash 4, it can only be canceled with a jump (and therefore up smash and up special) or reversed side special. However, from Brawl onwards, canceling the jump with an up smash or up special also reverses its direction, and in Smash 4, the turn-around animation can be canceled with a reversed forward tilt or forward smash. In Ultimate it can be canceled with all ground moves, doing which will make characters keep some momentum from the animation. Coupled with the universal speed buffs, this allows characters like Chrom and Sheik with high ground speed but laggy dash attacks to use running forward tilt as an approach option. Any shield input is also ignored during this animation, and due to the way the Ultimate input system works, pressing the grab button will produce a 1 frame attack input, allowing for uncharged smash attacks.

A stutter step is the term for when a character begins to dash but stops almost immediately, often used for positioning and mind games. Along with merely stopping, characters can also dash cancel via a variety of other methods.

The skidding animation plays when the character stops running after their initial dash and attempts to stop their momentum. The length of this animation varies between characters, but it can also vary depending on the speed the character is running at relative to their maximum running speed. Shorter skidding animations are preferred, particularly in Smash games where dash canceling is impossible. For example, in Smash 4, Bowser, Charizard, Ganondorf, and Lucario have extremely short skidding animations even after stopping at maximum speed, which effectively allows them to do any attack out of their runs with little lag in between, or even seamlessly begin another dash in the opposite direction. This animation can only be canceled with a jump, or with an item pick up if one is nearby. Its first few frames can also be canceled into any special move.

In Super Smash Bros. MeleeEdit

Initial dashEdit

Because the initial dash animation translates into the running animation much later than in Brawl, it is a vital tool for movement in general and dash-dancing in particular. During the initial dash, the following actions can be used:

  • Altering the speed of the dash with the control stick, most notably backward to Moonwalk.
  • Turning around by mashing the control stick in the opposite direction. Turning around takes one frame during which the character is standing and can do all ground attacks except neutral special. If the control stick stays in a neutral position after this pivot frame, the character will keep standing.
  • Pressing A or C-Stick forward/backward during the first 3 frames to do a small step forward smash. This is only possible after dashing forward, not backward.
  • Pressing A after the first 3 frames to do a dash attack.
  • Pressing L or R to shield. During the first two frames of a forward dash, L/R always triggers a roll. On frame 3, they trigger the shield, but with 1 frame delay.
  • Pressing L+A, R+A or Z to do a dash grab.
  • Jumping and jump canceling.
  • Using forward special.
  • Pressing forward again to enter run break animation. From here the player can crouch immediately and do any move. This can be used for a quick dash into down tilt, or a non-jump-canceled down special.

RunEdit

During the run—the later part of the dash—different options are available:

  • Pressing down to crouch. (Spending 1 frame in the RunBrake animation is necessary before the crouch can start.)
  • Turning around by mashing or pushing the control stick in the opposite direction. Turning around takes very long, up to 51 frames (Marth). During the turnaround animation, only a jump can interrupt it.
  • Pressing A to do a dash attack.
  • Pressing L or R to shield.
  • Pressing L+A, R+A, or Z to do a dash grab.
  • Jumping and jump canceling.
  • Using special moves.

Running speedEdit

Running speed is the rate at which a character can run. Running speed is measured in units per frame.

Super Smash Bros. rankingsEdit

Super Smash Bros. uses a different scale for mobility specs compared to later games. The scale approximately converts to (a / 30) (so for example, Captain Falcon's NTSC run speed of 75 is about equivalent to a run speed of 2.5 in future games).

The data shown here was taken from Antdgar's Frame Data and Madao's Character Data posts. Captain Falcon is the only character whose speed changes according to the version of the game.

Super Smash Bros. Melee rankingsEdit

Starting in Melee, much like with air acceleration, there exist two acceleration values for each character's initial dash speed until it reaches their run speed: a base value that determines the minimum acceleration, and an additional value that is scaled based on how much the control stick is tilted. A character's maximum potential acceleration is the sum of these two values. For example, Captain Falcon has a base value of 0.01 and an additional value of 0.15, so its dash acceleration can vary from 0.01 at minimum input to 0.16 at maximum input. If the character's initial dash speed is equal to their run speed, the acceleration values are not used, while if it is higher, the character's traction value is used to decrease it down to their run speed.

Note that several slow runners can use their dash attack to travel a far distance quicker, and some characters have a DACUS to increase mobility. The most notable case of this is Snake, whose DACUS gives him much more stage control and ability to evade opponents.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate rankingsEdit

In Ultimate, run speeds have been buffed across the board by roughly 10%, with the exception of a few characters (for example, Snake's run speed was increased by more than 10%, Ike and Dr. Mario's were increased by less than 10%, and Ryu's wasn't changed at all). Additionally, most initial dashes have seen significant speed increases, which when combined with the altered foxtrot mechanics gives all characters an effective dash-dance. However, turnaround dashes now have 3 frames of delay before fighters begin accelerating, as opposed to the 1 frame delay of a regular dash, making it take slightly longer for fighters to begin retreating by dashing.

  • Mario dashing in Brawl

TriviaEdit

  • In SSB4 and Ultimate, Dr. Mario's dash speed (along with most of his other attributes) is actually coded to be identical to Mario's. However, due to external multipliers, his dash speed is slower in-game as a result.
  • In Smash 4, Sonic and Lucas are the only characters whose dashing speeds remain untouched from their previous appearances.
  • Mewtwo is the character who holds the title for the largest dashing speed increase from one game to another; its dashing speed was increased by 0.65 units in its transition from Melee to Smash 4. Conversely, Ganondorf holds the title for the largest decrease from one game to another; his dashing speed was decreased by 0.19 units in his transition from Melee to Brawl.
  • Charizard is the character who holds the title for the largest initial dash increase from one game to another; its initial dash was increased by 1.288 units in its transition from Smash 4 to Ultimate.
  • Banjo & Kazooie's dash is the Talon Trot, where Kazooie will run while carrying Banjo on her back. It is one of only two of the duo's moves that give Kazooie a hurtbox, with the other being their up tilt.
  • There are some inconsistencies for some characters' running speeds in their origin games, presumably due to balancing reasons:
    • While generally being faster than Mario in more modern Mario games, like in New Super Luigi U and the Super Mario Galaxy series, Luigi has been slower in every game in the Super Smash Bros. series to date. It likely references him being slower than Mario in earlier appearances, such as Super Mario Bros. 2, as a trade-off for higher jumps.
    • In most Mario series spin-offs, Bowser often has among the lowest speed stats, but has above average run speed in all Super Smash Bros. games featuring him, especially Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
    • Wolf and Falco dash slower than Fox, despite being faster than him in Star Fox: Assault.
    • Ike is a generally slow character in the Smash games, despite having great speed stats in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. Also the case with Byleth.
      • However, in Fire Emblem: Fates as a secret Amiibo fighter, Ike has poor speed stats, likely in reference to his Smash appearances.
    • Mewtwo dashes significantly slower than Pikachu and Pichu, (in Melee) despite Mewtwo having a higher base Speed stat than Pikachu and Pichu in the Pokémon games.
    • Lucario dashes significantly slower than Pikachu, Pichu, and Ivysaur (in Brawl) despite Pikachu having the same base Speed stat and Pichu and Ivysaur being slower in the Pokémon games.
      • Also, in Pokémon, Mega Lucario gets a notable speed increase, but Mega Lucario runs slower than regular Lucario in Smash 4.
    • King K. Rool is faster than Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong in the Donkey Kong Country games when running away, yet is immensely slower than them in Ultimate.
