Sonic Blade (ソニックレイヴ, Sonic Rave) is Sora's side special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Overview

Sora dashes forward with a quick thrusting attack of his Keyblade. During the move, the player can mash the button to make him use it up to three times, though its range is decreased with each use. The first strike always moves Sora forward, but the second and third strikes can be aimed in any direction as long as the input is made. If Sora is near an opponent when using this move, he will automatically home in on the opponent from the second input onwards. This is indicated by the opponent having a blue targeting reticle on their person based on an identical reticle from Sora's home series.

Origin

Sonic Blade is a recurring ability in the Kingdom Hearts series. It was introduced in the original game as one of Sora's special abilities, in which he dashes at enemies up to 6 times before finishing them off with a final thrust. He obtains this ability by speaking to Cloud Strife after defeating Cerberus in Olympus Coliseum's Preliminary Tournament. In later games and in the HD 1.5 ReMIX version, it is implemented as Reaction Commands. Early incarnations of the ability can only be executed on the ground, but its iterations from Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance and Kingdom Hearts III can be performed in mid-air, like in Ultimate.

Lock-On is a targeting mechanism in the series, allowing the user to permanently target a single enemy or attackable object.
