A good secondary for a Sonic mainer

[kreechure]

Ok, so I know that Sonic is probably not one of the best characters to main, but ****it i won't let that stop me. However the matches i have trouble with (Meta Knight, Marth, and Falco) seem nearly unbeatable if they have some hint of skill (or if they're just good at spamming )

I just want to know who you guys use to shut down these characters so that i might be able to fight on more even terms.

ps: I'm god awful with Snake so thats not an option

 

[R4ZE]

i had problems with those 3 when i first started using sonic, like major problems... but honestly i think sonic does fine against all of them...

mk is def the toughest and hardest to learn on that list, but mk is just good in general


try using ike or wolf.

ike is a big contrast from sonic tho, requires a whole different playstyle... also has about opposite strengths and weaknesses.

wolf.... pretty much anyone can pick up in 5 seconds, he has a spam range, good refloctor that can get ppl off your grill, and abusable fsmahs and dsmashes. his arials are also pretty good.... his weakness and only thing that really requires learning is his recovery, so i suggest you stay on the stage while learning him, dont go for chase kills or any kind of off the stage fancy kills.


or you may want to look into what characters counter them well.. (as in go to the MK and Marth boards and check their hard matchups... as far as i know.. falco I have no info... other than i did play him for a bit, and i think he has problems killing, and he is really light and easy to beat in general... imo.

Why do people always ask this question. I don't really want to offend the OP, but this question is simply ********. There's no real guideline to "if you play this character, then you'll most likely like to play this character as well!" Play whoever you feel comfortable with.

 

[Browny]

seriously, get good with snake

if you really want to beat those characters, there is no better choice.

 

[DanGR]

Olimar's on par with Falco and Marth, but can't handle MK very well. :/ that's where pit comes in handy.

than why does half this board play lucario as a second?

btw lucario is a really good choice for all 3 of those matches

 

[Browny]

half the board play lucario coz

hes blue?
hes awesome?

what else does a character need

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

I play Falco who is ALSO blue and awesome. And he nailed Krystal and turned her evil. That's hardcore.

Falco handles MOST of my counterpicking needs.

The fact that they do use him as a secondary is not a reason or guideline to playing him. It is just a coincidence or a simple fact of reality.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

I don't get the Lucario thing. Why him?

 

[Umby]

Terios, stop posting. I don't feel like racing to see who gets 1,000 posts first.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

We're racing?

 

[Umby]

No, but I'll probably stop at 999 for some reason, and you'll have gotten 5 posts, and I'll be like wtf?

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

I got 4 (5 now) in like 2 minutes.

I have to get to sleep though.

We can't stay on topic for crap can we?

 

[Umby]

No point in staying on topic. This is all just post count ++

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Uh-huh...

Anyway. A while back it seemed like every Sonic main had TLink in their character list.

 

[JasonLovesKelsey]

And he nailed Krystal and turned her evil. That's hardcore.

When did this happen? Seriously, I must have missed out on something in StarFox: Assault. Or was this during Command?

And as you can see from mah sig, I use Snake as a counterpic.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Falco and Krystal joined Starwolf as an ending for Command. (I think) I added the nailing her part because Falco DOES like Krystal IIRC. That and he's pimp.

 

[Umby]

Falco doesn't care about Krystal. He'd pork her for about a week then get tired of her.


Hell of a week, though. Hell of a week.

 

[xsonicx_13]

my secondary is falcon so im not too worried about that other than the fact that he got worse

 

[xsonicx_13]

otherwise i use
falco,
fox,
snake,

 

[SonicLucario]

I use Meta Knight,Lucario (he's blue),D3 (Blue).I just use whoever I like.I have fun playing as them as well as Sonic.That's all I need

 

[FrostByte]

Marth - Because he wins stuff.
Metaknight - Because he wins other stuff.
Snake - Because he wins.

[SonicSSJX the Hedgehog]

I use Lucario as a second main. Lucario is awesome and I have him in my Team in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. And because both Sonic and Lucario have Saiyan like natures (I call it that ). And that's because: Sonic has a Super (Saiyan) form, and Lucario has Aura (which he uses and is like "Ki") just like a Saiyan and he also shoots a Galick Gun out for his Final Smash (People say it's a Kamehameha because it's blue and a beam, but it's performed more like the Galick Gun and shot out like it too. Lucario's Aura Sphere is the Kamehameha, but in sphere form. Because it's also blue and is performed and shot out like it too). Then I use Mario and Diddy. I like characters who don't use weapons to fight, or use very few weapons to fight.

 

[FrostByte]

Why would that help...

 

[Machiavelli.CF]

mk is def the toughest and hardest to learn on that list, but mk is just good in general

ike vs. mk, marth, falco!? HEYLL NO!!

i say snake might do well...maybe

 

[supersonic102]

you should use either metaknight or fox. their attacks come out quickley and thier easy to combo with

 

[Boxob]

I have no good secondaries. Lulz.

 

[T-REX!]

weegee. He wins.

 

[KirbyandSonicrock14]

My back up is Kirby and Ganon. When things get roguh when playing as Sonic. the PuffBall, and someone who cooler than Link.

nuff said

 

[Orange_Soda_Man]

falco boards says G&W is their toughest matchup recorded so far. That might be where I'd start.
against both MK and Marth, one of their only bad matchups is against snake. Also, Falco has trouble with snake too ... But considering we're Sonic Mainers it might be tough to be able to play as both Sonic and Snake very, very well.

 

[Nitros14]

Man no mention of Bowser? Obviously your best choice!

 

[Anthinus]

I use (without counting Sonic) Meta Knight, Fox, Wolf & Snake...
Sonic can handle Marth... I use Fox/Snake vs Metas and Fox/Meta vs the other one...
It works for me

 

[mysticwolf]

I think Pikachu. He is fast, his smash attacks are similar to Sonic, and he is very fun to play as.

 

[AgentAO]

Besides Sonic, I also play Jigglypuff (Because killing things with a pink ball with a wimpy name is awesome) and DayDayDay (Because he rocks, and he's a penguin.)

Its all a matter of preference, just choose whoever you can play as best. To tell you the truth, I just use Sonic for those match-ups, though I don't fight MK too much, my bros love to play Falco and Marth. I hear DK does great against MK though.

 

[da K.I.D.]

trust me, if your good enough, lucario will take care of all of sonics bad matchups

 

[Sonic527]

I use toon link but only because I liked using young link in melee. Just try every character you have interest in and which ever one you find pretty easy to control, make him/her your secondary.

 

[Blade42]

if im not using sonic, i usually whip out PT but seeing as how he has a tough time against mk, that not really a great matchup. squirtle really seems to be a good matchup for the marth and falco, at least for me

lol They're not the only ones who like to play Marth and Falco. Plus I play MK but you already knew that. I play all these Sonic counters. Why am I on the Sonic boards? I don't know. Just looking around.

No, they're the only ones who play Falco and Marth on a daily basis. I mean, I'd probably be better off switching characters for those match-ups, as they can beat me fairly easily, but I don't care much. And if you can play MK, then get over here, I wanna play against a good MK and see how I do.
