To be fair, Sonic doesn't really have many unique attacks, even in his more action-packed Modern incarnations... I personally would've gone for the Pac-Man approach and incorporate Sonic level elements like spikes; bumpers; and flippers.

Well the whole “Heh! I’m only here because I need to be here!” thing does fit Sonic, but obviously that’s not what they were going for

Yeah, having a moveset that reflected one of the most fun things about the games-the level design-would've really made him feel more unique. Shadow The Hedgehog, Fighters, and Sonic 06 were three of the games Sakurai played before putting Sonic in Smash, so I understand if those left a bad taste in his mouth. Still, even with just the classics, Sakurai could make an amazing moveset.
