No offense but I don't like Sonic that much.
Story of every Sonic players life. Don't worry, you're not alone. LOL
I went to Australia in December for my sister's wedding (WA, Perth) and introduced myself to their scene in their Facebook group. Very nice group of people! I introduced myself as a Sonic (and future Cloud) main and the very first comment I got was "No one is gonna wanna play against you now that you've said that you play Sonic." Couldn't stop laughing.
If you play Sonic, you're going to get hate. Well, not you as a player but the character sure does. Happened in Brawl when we were low/mid tier heroes, happens now in Smash 4.

In Cloud-related news, I got my hands on the patch after not downloading it for a couple of days. The fact that I'm still combo'ing into aerial Finishing Touch and killing around 60/70%? Yup. Still good. And I actually don't mind the nerf to UAir personally. While it doesn't kill as early, everything about it is still the same otherwise, AND lends to my juggling better and combo'ing at early percents. It also puts the fear of airdodging into people. So many times I've scored kills on fast fallers who air dodged down into grounded Finishing Touch.
In terms of raw power and execution, it's still Cloud's most powerful Limit Break, and a very reliable one. Good Cloud players will be using it quite frequently when catching people on platforms or combo'ing between 55/60/70 percent and scoring kills on most of the cast. I was scared when I heard of the nerf to aerial FT. But since the base knockback of the move never got changed, and the knockback growth is still really powerful despite the nerf? It's terrifying in singles and doubles both.
He was nerfed, but now fast fallers have more reason to be scared of Cloud due to said nerfs.
