==Update history==
==Update history==
Sonic has been buffed via game updates. His forward tilt connects better, back aerial has less landing lag and Super Sonic has been buffed numerous times. His shield is also slightly larger. However, most updates only gave benefits to his Final Smash. However 9.0.0 brought out the most significant buffs for Sonic. Up tilt and dash attack have less ending lag, with the latter also dealing more damage, making them both safer on shield. Up smash has decreased start up, increased intangibility and the first hit launches opponents more inward with higher knockback, making it connect into the linking hits more effectively. Lastly, up aerial's second hit has an additional hitbox below Sonic, making it easier to connect from the first hit.
Aside from glitch fixes, Sonic has been buffed via game updates. While [[Super Sonic]] has been buffed in a few ways through various updates, a number of Sonic's other moves have also received noticeable improvements. Update 2.0.0 improved forward tilt's consistency and decreased back aerial's landing lag, while update 3.0.0 ensured that Sonic retains his double jump upon using [[Spin Dash]] or [[Spin Charge]] on a platform. Update 7.0.0 enlarged his shield as part of a near-universal buff, and significantly improved up smash's reliability against an opponent standing on a platform; a buff which was shared with {{SSBU|Roy}} and {{SSBU|Chrom}}'s up smashes.  
 
However, update 9.0.0 brought about Sonic's most significant buffs. Up tilt and dash attack have less ending lag, with the latter also dealing noticeably more damage, making them both safer on shield. Up smash's start-up was decreased, its intangibility was icnreased, and its first hit's angle and knockback were adjusted; altogether, these changes improved its consistency and safety. Lastly, up aerial's second hit received another hitbox below Sonic, making it easier to connect from the first hit.
