Homing attack as edgeguard.

[undead_saint]

I've used it to stage spike gannons that are trying to ledge hog. I'm not sure if that works on other characters though.

The only times i use it off screen is when i use the unlocked on to recover, or when they are near the blast line, ill try it every once in a while, but its is not even close to reliable, sry.

I beg to differ

Depends on the character and its recovery pattern. Characters with lower airspeeds eat homing attacks. Yea, its punishable, but so are most of Sonics other edgeguard options.

Also, try using homing attack after multiple Nairs, it works wonders(makes the same startup noise + looks quite similar). Especially if you switch around between cancelling it and not doing so.
