Alright! I guess I'll be the first to whoop-up the possible Sonic moveset then! Not all of these moves are completely confirmed to be what I say they are; but I figure that they have the best chances of being such! There's only one move that was a little iffy in the capturing, hopefully I made it clear to others what's going on in all of my pictures.

<Side Special Move: Spin Dash>



Hop into a supersonic Spin Dash. If you charge it up just a bit, your speed will increase.

It’s also possible to rise up while spinning.

Spin Dash, jump. A two-hit combo.

Then keep pursuing with a midair attack!

And do a Spin Dash in midair to return.

That, too?​

The spin dash attack has recently been confirmed to be Sonic's side special move! Huh, that's odd, right? I thought for sure this move would've ended up as his standard special! Oh well, that just leaves more possibilities open for such! Ring attacks?-- who knows?

As predicted, if this hit connects with the opponent, it'll also send Sonic up in the air, giving him the chance to perform an aeirial combo-- such as his bair! You have to charge this move, but our Sonic video shows that charging will hardly be a problem! Since, y'know, he's done charging in two seconds.

Also predicted, if you perform this move while airborne, it'll only increase what seems to be an excellent recovery for Sonic! Hopefully there's no afterlag, or anythihng negative about this function such as that. We'll just have to wait and see!

<Up Special Move: Spring Jump>



And his up special move is the Spring Jump. That spring launches you wayyy up in the air.

That’s high!

You might not use it on the ground much, but rumor has it that if you do, the spring that remains can be used by other characters.

Ah! It’s true.​

I really couldn't up with a better third-jump for Sonic! This spring jump seems to fit perfectly!
The spring jump launches Sonic high toward the sky in a vertical line. Hopefully we'll be able to DI our way over to the left or right, but we'll just have to wait and see for that!

What's cool about this move is that if it's performed on the ground, the spring stays on the surface and can be usable by any other character. And judging by this image, the spring will act like an additional item to other characters instead of another third-jump (based on the way Mario is shown jumping).

<Down Special Move: Spin Charge>



By holding the Control Stick down and tapping the special-move button, you charge up your spin and do a Spin Dash. This may feel better for some—there’s no pop.​

Wait, another spin dash?! Despite the similarities between the two moves, the spin charge has one difference from the spin dash. That's right, no "pop". Sakurai says that this move will stick to the ground, which could probably lead to some ground combinations.

If there are any other differences between the two, that has yet to be confirmed. As what we can tell, the spin charge charges just as fast as the spin dash would. Honestly I think Sakurai could've came up with a down special that differs from another special. But hey, Sakurai knows best!

<Standard Special Move: Yet to be announced!>

<Standard Move: Standard Hit Combo>



Punch, punch, kick!

This combo appears to be rather devastating, yet at the same time rather laggy. This move is actually quite relative to Mario’s standard hit combo—y’know, being a “punch, punch, kick!” thing.

<Standard Move: Forward Throw>



Again, another move that could quite possibly be something different. This throw we see Sonic perform will most likely turn out to be either his down throw, or his forward throw. It looked more like a forward throw to me, so that’s what I’ll go with.

Not much to it: Sonic grabs the opponent, jumps on then, starts spin dashing, and viola!, damage and knockback! This move seems similar to Jigglypuff’s down throw in Melee, where she throws down her opponent and starts trampling over them!

<Standard Move: Up Throw: Yet to be announced!>
<Standard Move: Down Throw: Yet to be announced!>
<Standard Move: Back Throw: Yet to be announced!>


<Standard Move: Back Aerial>



This is obviously Sonic’s bair attack. It seems rather useful, being both speedy and rather powerful. This move might be the prime move to use combo’d with the Spin Dash before-hand. Sonic’s bair is rather similar to Fox / Falco’s bair in Melee. Otherwise than that, there’s not much else to say on this move.

<Standard Move: Up Aerial>



As you can see, Sonic is flipped upside-down, with his feet facing straight up toward the sky. This actually is similar to Fox / Falco’s uair in Melee, but it doesn’t seem to share as much as ”umph” as the space critter’s version.


<Standard Move: Down Aerial>



Sonic pauses in mid-air, and launches a stiff leg diagonally downward, with a seemingly powerful knockback. This move has actually been spotted being performed by another character in the Nintendo World Wide trailer, and Zamus was the one to do so!

Although, we can sort of tell that Zamus and Sonic's version will be slightly different. For Sonic it's heavy and slow, while Zamus' version seems to be the exact opposite-- it's light and swift! Some predict that this isn't Sonic's dair at all, but instead another fighting-technique that can be used by all characters (such as Zamus). A rather interesting theory, but I'll put my money on it being Sonic's dair, and Zamus' down special!

<Standard Move: Forward Aerial: Yet to be announced!>

<Standard Move: Down Smash>



Unfortunately, this image fails to give a detailed look at this particular move. In the Sonic video we see Sonic, Peach, Wario, and Bowser all at the Delfino Plaza stage. After Sonic is finished performing his already-known combo (spin dash + bair), Wario, Peach, and Bowser all approach Sonic, who seems to kick all of them in their opposite positions.

Think of this move like Mario’s dsmash from Melee, only Sonic-tized.
(this could very well likely be Sonic’s forward tilt as well, but it’s very hard to tell with such a crowded clip)

<Standard Move: Up Smash>



This one is a little tricky to see without a video as such, but hopefully you'll get the general concept of it all!

Sonic is seen charging up what is obviously identified as a smash attack. After charging is complete, Sonic springs up slightly in the air, and hovers in that spot while performing a spectacular spin-in-place dash!

If connects with an opponent, it seems to deal some decent damage, but with little knockback. Still, a move such as this could easily lead to some fair combos! Sonic just seems like a comboing character all around!

<Standard Move: Forward Smash: Yet to be announced!>

I'll edit more into this post when we get more hints of Sonic's other moves.
Until such happens, enjoy what I've got!

<Standard Special Move: Spin Dash>



This move was the most predictable thing that could've came to Sonic. Considering that this is primarily what Sonic does in all of his games (for an attack), there's no way this move wasn't happening. There's only the debate now whether or not this is his Standard Special, or his Forward Special. It could be either, really. But this is what I'll go with for now.

By the looks of it, this move gets charged rather fast, as well as launching rather fast. If the hit connects, it seems like Sonic gets boosted upward in the sky due to knockback. This can lead to some interesting combos; we've already seen a Spin Dash > Bair in the recent Sonic video! Hopefully we can do more with this move!-- recovery, anyone?

<Up Special Move: Spring>



I personally didn't know what to expect for Sonic's Up-B, but what it turned out to be works out great in my opinion! Obviously, Sonic gets launched rather high into the air, going plainly vertical. It'd be interesting if we could DI ourselves more horizontally, but I guess we'll just have to wait for the demo for that!

In another section of the Sonic video, we see Sonic using this special move in the Skyworld stage, right before his fthrow encounter with Donkey Kong. The spring seems to appear right out of thin-air, and boosts Sonic rather quickly. I couldn't see it working any other way! Simply brilliant, Sakurai!

<Down Special Move: Down-Kick>



Pardon my unoriginality with the special move title, but what do you expect me to call this attack? This move works very similar to Zero Suit Samus' possible down special move, as seen in the Nintendo World Wide trailer. This move could either be another one of Sonic's specials, or a new fighting-technique. But since there's not a hint of any other move being Sonic's down special (so far), I'll just stick with this for now.

Really, though, I can't think of any fitting move for Sonic's down special.
But then again, I rarely play his games, so I'll just leave that debate to you Sonic lovers!

<Forward Special Move: Yet to be announced!>

<Standard Move: Standard Hit Combo>



Punch, punch, kick!

This combo appears to be rather devastating, yet at the same time rather laggy. This move is actually quite relative to Mario’s standard hit combo—y’know, being a “punch, punch, kick!” thing.

Nice one Egruntz. I think you were accurate on alot of them but you should change sonic's down special to sonci's down aerial. Looks more like a spike and majority of spikes are used by down aerials.

I willing to bet the move everyone is calling a 'throw' is his down B special, Sonic Meteor. It was in Battle, Adventure 2 and even Sonic 3 (Bubble Shield).

Two down B moves that are simple down kicks? Please. Also note, Sonic does this downkick both directly down and sideways-down in the video.

His spindash doesn't necessarily cause him to jump up, as you can see in the part right before your screenshot is taken, he slides back and forth with it and hits mario a few times in the process.

Two of those screenshots show Lucas' hexagonal animations being used for aerial attacks. I'm sensing a theme here...

I think what you called a dair is a nair. Remember ness's nair how he spins with his arms out? Looks more like that =\

Good guess, we both were right on that one.

The only reason I said DAir was because the hexagon is at the tip of Lucas' foot--which, in this case, is almost directly below him.

Actually, the pic you have posted for DK's F-smash is actually his F-tilt, as is the pic you have labeled as F-tilt. It has dust clouds in Melee too.

Pit's down+b is the Mirror Shield from the first Kid Icarus!!

Sorry about the quality and the big photo everyone, I noticed this from the IGN Delfino Square video at about 00:40 secs you'll see him use it.
