As a Boozer player as well as a Sonic player I gotta say that Bowser was a bit lack luster... He wasn't capitalizing on any of his hits and wasn't using throws or edge guarding well. I can't make any claims to be near your sonic, but if I could give a bit of advice, Sonic should have a pretty easy time baiting out stuff from Bowser and punishing accordingly. I wished I had seen a bit more of that during the match.
I haven't found u-smash much useful, i throw it out sometimes when the opponent is above me but I don't find it a good move since it's not really a good killing move, has a decent amount of startup and endlag so it can't combo either.. I would just u-tilt and combo from there.
Different strokes I guess.
Uthrow is your friend against Link. It pretty much always combos. If you're not powershielding, don't mess around on the same level as him because his projectiles always beat Sonic, so play on the side platforms and get him to whiff an utilt or grab. Punish the throw lag on the boomie and force missed arrows. Combo a lot more in general. Spam your utilt like he does to you lol, it has the same effect and by the time he DIs out of it you can probably react and chase him down with nairplane-utilt and push him offstage in this way. Did I mention to learn powershielding? It destroys Link.
You need to tech in more situations where you could of teched.
Sometimes when your lucario opponent is offstage, you usually just wait for him to recover and then I see you usually f-tilt him for it. As a mix up you should of just jumped out there and used HA and he usually won't get out of there fast enough. Overall, you need to kill Lucario much more often for recovering.
Thanks! Will do.
Awesome Sonic. Loving the use of normals. There aren't enough Sonic players that use his awesome moveset to the fullest.
Cool looking ****. Unbalanced as hell, with a goofy run animation to boot, but pretty sick nonetheless.
EDIT: Scratch that, I thought that was you.
You end up in the air a lot from Down B. That will probably get punished pretty hard against live opponents. Sonic can't really depend on that move as much since it's been nerfed so hard.
I did not know that. That's awesome!
There were some solid KOs in there. I would just say move around more. You're Sonic, and his ridiculous mobility is his greatest advantage. I mean... you 4-stocked him, so it wasn't really a problem against the CPU, but I think you're going to have more trouble against a live opponent with such a stationary play style. Staying in motion makes it hard to guess what you're doing.
Dude, that last kill was awesome, and you did a swell job using Sonic's entire arsenal to your advantage. Your use of dash attack for added pressure was sick, and I loved the hyphen smash usage. One observation, though, is that you might benefit from the use of Sonic's JC grab. You tried some grabs on the run that ended up whiffing; the JC grab leaves you less open to punishment if you whiff it. Other than that, solid stuff!
