* Unusually for a BeatEmUp, ''VideoGame/JusticeLeagueHeroesTheFlash'' will allow you to dash to any enemy on the screen (assuming there is nothing in your way). It does much less damage than a normal strike, but using {{The Flash}}'s SuperSpeed to dash to a second enemy right before the first one can punch you is incredibly satisfying.

** In ''SonicBattle'', there are five types of attacks that can be executed from the ground: the basic combo, "Heavy" (knockback) attack, [[LauncherMove "Upper"]] attack, ground special, and the Dash Attack. The Dash attacks here are second only to the ground special in variability between characters, and can be even more variable when used by the customizable character Emerl, when combining them with different dash abilities than their original users. For example, Rouge's dash can inflict multiple hits when combined with most dash skills, but can work as a second dash and long distance hit when combined with Shadow's dash. Tails' dash attack combined with Rouge's dash puts Emerl in higher flight than is possible for any other character.
