Thank you for your advice, some things to mention though is that, while I realize Wario Ware is not the best of stages for Sonic, I do find it more.comfortable for recovery options, moving around and other things, but after this tourney I will consider if I should replace my greenhill zone ban or maybe even yoshis, what do you think?
I don't think it should be an absolute automatic ban, you should consider what character you're fighting; Roy can kill Sonic very fast on small stages and Warioware is smaller than Green Hill Zone. I even recall you mentioning this yourself;
However when you're fighting lighter characters perhaps you should go for smaller stages for easy kills. I used to be always afraid of Yoshi's/FoD but I went FoD one day versus Kirby and I realised how much of a benefit it can be to Sonic in that matchup.
For edgeguarding Lucas you can just nair him pretty much when he tried to tether or use spring. If he's using PKT2 then just do anything.
- Don't use B moves so often. If you watch the match ALL you're doing is using Down-B, Side B, and Homing attack for your neutral game. That's REALLY bad. Try to dash dance, SHFFL, use platforms, and catch Falco while he's surprised.
Thanks I'll definitely remember this for next time!
You seem to do pretty well already! More fairs since that's sonic best ranged arial for approaching into tech chases would help also! You do good though.
Thats what I was trying to doIf Mario is spamming fireballs and you wanna punish them because he's not being clever with the timing of his spam, nair at him. Nair eats fireballs.
She needs to wavedash out of side b alittle, mix up aerials after Down B The Matchup IDK I struggle with the Toon Link Matchup besides that She is pretty good
Just wondering lol.
You don't need to wavedash out of Side B to JC grab. You can simply JC grab out of the Side B. Doing a wavedash has more lag than straight grab.
Edited my post with other stuff btw.
wow, thanks for taking the time to look into the match so well. I completely see what you mean about spin-dashing too much. I had so many chances to punish with a better option like grab or at least a move that transfers into a conversion. and as far as the edgeguards go, i was just incredibly intimidated, so in my fear i opted for what i considered, at the time, a safe option. overall i'd say you hit the mark right on about everything. and to answer your question, yes, i'm from Charlotte. also i'm not exactly sure what SC5 is. is it a regional i'm not aware of?
Some random stuff:
Thanks, the lag is actually pretty not noticeable so this helps alot, I'm definitely going to give this stuff a try when I get another chance at him! The thunder hitbox is just larger than I expect every time.
This is supposed to be WD Oo Side-B btw.
Two of your deaths were definitely due to 3.5 changes. For the most part, it did not really look like you applied pressure like you could have. With Snake, if he can't directly hit you, he is probably going to set up a trip mine or try to tranq you. I saw a few bait and punishes, but there could have been a lot more. Also with Snake's recovery and the new Homing Attack/Blast Attack range, I think you can over power his recovery and send him flying horizontally.
I feel like Sonic can be one of the best doubles partner because of his speed. Sonic and focus on one fighter and do a hit-and-run on to the other fighter. Keep them guessing. There were a few times you could of been there to help out Ivy like on smashville. Also, you do play a little risky with your keep-off-stage game. I like to use the spring when they are recovering from a low angle. Works great on Marth. And try to use the neutral air attack. I love the f-air but neutral is the better option(IMO) if your on stage. Overall, solid sonic. Hope you do well moving forward.
Thanks! That was probably the second or third time doing doubles, so I didn't want to team kill (missed that mark) and try to keep everyone separate, because I know I can beat them in a singles match. Aside from not chasing them off stage, any advice on me to play safer?
