    Secondaries to cover Sonic's bad matchups?

    Well, let's say you choose Sonic and you face Rosaluma for the first match. Obviously that's an awful matchup for Sonic, so I'd pick my secondary. But if my secondary is Rosaluma... Doesn't work. That doesn't happen for every character, though. Let's take your Pikachu example. First match it's...

    What are Your Issues with Sonic?

    :4villager:, :4falcon:, :4sheik:, and :4yoshi: I tend to struggle with mostly.

    Secondaries to cover Sonic's bad matchups?

    Rosaluma is a great secondary to zone and counter projectile-heavy characters, but I feel like it isn't a very good secondary for a Sonic main, because you run the risk of running into a Rosaluma main and having to play a mirror match. Usually, someone who mains Rosaluma will beat someone who...

    Guide Sonic GUIDE/FAQ: ASK QUESTIONS HERE

    What is the general consensus on the Falcon matchup? The Falcons think it is 50:50. Agree? Disagree? Also, on a more technical level, what is the throw of choice facing a ledge with a grab? Let's say the opponent is around 100%.

    Would anybody mind giving me some tips to improve? I'm a pretty new Sonic player. Pivot (:4sonic:) vs LSAS (:4mario:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8VyQ65ZwAA&feature=youtu.be Thanks.

    Data Sonic and the Book of Matchups

    How about villager? I really struggle with him considering he has so many options against Sonic's spindash.

    Making the most out of Sonics grab.

    Well, that wasn't a followup of Uthrow in the video. By the way, I feel like the Uthrow>Uair combo hits more than it misses, but at different percents and depending on the weight of the opponent's character, one needs to decide how many jumps to use, if any, and whether or not to use his...

    Secondaries to cover Sonic's bad matchups?

    Sonic has certain MUs that are simply worse than others. Some are downright bad for him. Let's say a Sonic player has a knowledge of the game, skill level, and knowledge of the matchups at a ranking of 7/10. And let's say he plays every other character that also has this 7/10 rating on these...

    How to Finish with Sonic?

    What's up guys? I know asking single-questions in a topic is frowned upon, but I wasn't quite sure where else to ask. Anyway, I'm coming from Lucario obviously, and I decided to pick up another main. It took a while to stop SD'ing from an attempted d-air spike, and a while longer yet to not...

    Q&A thread ASK QUESTIONS HERE.

    Thanks for the help! I've been playing wireless matches. The lag isn't really all that horrible. If you learn the rhythm of the lag it's bearable.

    Gamecube controller for SSB4?

    That's really cool. The Wii U controller honestly looks adjustable. As in, I think it wouldn't be too hard to adapt. I wouldn't be so quick to use a Gamecube controller from the getgo for Smash4 since there might be some advantages we haven't discovered or tested to using the Wii U controller...

    Q&A thread ASK QUESTIONS HERE.

    Hmmm. That's an interesting idea. That would probably benefit us negatively, though. You're going to reach that high % one way or another, and you might as well do it while going for some damage. Unless you fear gimps (like in a MK matchup), in which case it would be advantageous. Thanks...
