Having trouble with Captain Falcon against Sonic. Help?

Here's some stuff I've found...you can instantly punish Sonic's homing attack with a sh knee out of shield, and pull it off with extremely high consistency. Homing attack knee punish Also...instant tech his spindash with buffered tech rolls? Spindash tech rolls on hit

The matchup against Sonic has been one of the tougher ones for me...does anyone have any tips for fighting Sonic as the falcon?

As a Captain Falcon main - Inkling - They have movement faster than falcon's dash speed, insanely low lag moves with low frame activation, ridiculous recovery options, easy combos, ink bomb projectile. Ness/Lucas - half decent ness/lucas players are disgusting to play against as falcon. PK...

They can be, but they're difficult to shield grab. Out of all of falcon's aerials, U-Air as the smallest lag time after landing (and it is VERY small, seems to be 3 frames) Perhaps if the U-Air is performed as close to the ground as possible, it will be much harder to shield grab. I'll test...

If this happens, run off the stage and bair them (although this is a bit more tough).

One thing that usually helps me with dair spikes is to drop lower than you think you have to. Also, stating the obvious, but watch for each individual person's habits and change your timing accordingly.

One pretty nice approach I use with falcon is: Full Jump -> Fast Fall -> Nair. (Also: Full Jump -> Nair -> Fast Fall) You can either time it to hit on the first kick or the second. Great if it hits, and even if it doesn't, the lag time is so small after landing that even if they are shielding...
