It takes nearly a week or two to make a fully sprited Knuckles move.Knuckles is the first and possibly only character to use the 'Climb' mechanic.Knuckles' Moveset is based on Sonic Battle, Project M / 9b Knuckles and some animations based on the movesets of the Smash 4 characters.Knuckles using Up Smash as Mario uses Up Tilt on Final Destination Palette Swaps Trivia Knuckles using Neutral B (Rock Throw) While Pikachu Crouches on Hueco Mundo Knuckles using Neutral Taunt along with Sonic on Sky Zone
