Sonic appears as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', with his return being confirmed during a [[Nintendo Direct]] on October 1st, 2013.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8khWAH13fg Nintendo Direct 10.1.2013]</ref> Unlike in ''Brawl'', he is now a starter character, and his design is now based on his appearance as of ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Unleashed}}''. This is further reflected by him now being voiced by Roger Craig Smith, who succeeded Jason Griffith in 2010. On a related note, Sonic is now fully voiced in Spanish, French, Italian, and German. | Sonic appears as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', with his return being confirmed during a [[Nintendo Direct]] on October 1st, 2013.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8khWAH13fg Nintendo Direct 10.1.2013]</ref> Unlike in ''Brawl'', he is now a starter character, and his design is now based on his appearance as of ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Unleashed}}'', which in turn was based on the CGI models from ''Shadow the Hedgehog'' and ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (2006).

Sonic has been heavily buffed in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4''. Sonic's previously abysmal KO potential has noticeably improved, and a number of his moves have improved utility. Outside of this, Sonic's outstanding speed and mobility have improved even further, thanks to his air and fast falling speeds becoming noticeably faster. Although Sonic's recovery was slightly weakened and some of his moves, particularly his KOing options, had their [[lag]] increased, these nerfs are largely outweighed by his aforementioned buffs. | Sonic has been heavily buffed in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4''.
