Knuckles

Sonic the Hedgehog


A powerful red echidna, Knuckles resides on Angel Island, where he guards the Master Emerald. Both friend and rival of Sonic, Knuckles is a martial-arts expert who can break through rocks with his spiked fists. In addition, he can climb walls and use the wind to glide through the air.

Gameplay Tips

  • Knuckles is able to cancel his Jab into Side Special if the opponent is at a high percentage, use that to finish off stocks in a stylish long combo!
  • For his grounded Side Special, Knuckles will go into a series of punches. At the end, you can choose which punch to end things with by holding up/down/forward.
  • For his aerial Side Special, Knuckles will blast forward with a headbutt and start wailing on whoever he hits! Proper timing can even change how he finishes the attack!
  • Between his Specials, Glide, Glide attack, Wall jump and Wall Climb, Knuckles is one mobile echidna!
  • Despite both Sonic and Knuckles jumping off of a spring for their up specials, they aren't quite the same. For one thing, Knuckles will break your shins on the way up.
  • Knuckles is able to regrab opponents quickly, this pairs very well with his dash-cancelable Forward Throw!
  • If you hold up while on the ground, Knuckles will look up! This is crucial for the meta.
  • The stone used during the move Rock Free-Fall is affecitonately named Predro by the dev team.
