Looks to me like you're off to a good start. I'm about on your level, but I think I can still pass some wisdom along.
Thanks for the tips! Its appreciated. i dont think I would main Sonic, I play sonic because I think he is the most annoying to fight, so what way to learn sonic than to use him. I think the spin dash can lead to follow ups somewhat. Like spin dash into up air for example then spin dash, but it can be inconsistant so what your saying makes alot of sense.
Sure thing! Firstly, we call the side-b Spin Dash (SD) and the down-b Spin Charge (SC) to differentiate them. The SD roll is a strong single-hit move, and the SC roll is a weak multi-hit move. They're both decent approach tools, but just about any projectile will shut them down instantly, especially Sheik's needles.
) if you do an aerial SD onto the ground, jump off the stage while still rolling, and then try to jump back. Killing yourself this way is referred to as "SD from SD."
I like in how that Pikachu match at this point, both players stalled there doing nothing for a couple of seconds.

I'm only one minute into this match and you're already spinning far too much. Like, way too much.
Oh man ! It is so horrible how it ends ! I am not better than you so I don't see anything you could have done better, but I look forward to see what better Sonic mains will say.
Anything else I should do in that MU? I'm really trying my hardest to beat him because he is the only one I haven't beaten yetI'm only one minute into this match and you're already spinning far too much. Like, way too much.
Mega Man is going to shoot a lemon or throw something at you every time. Running away and charging spin every time is free damage for him. You need to pressure with running shield and OoS options more. When you do get in his face and shield, you just roll around him...
Finished the first round, and still stand by that. Once you shield and get a grab, you're in. But you're approaching the match-up poorly, in my opinion. Need to take your time and find the opening... Then you can go hard. But being zoned out, spinning is the worst option. Then he gets you up in the air and camps with Uair and fishes for airdodge punishes with Bair.
Basically what I said, so mostly focus more on your options of running and shield. OoS grab/tilt punishes. Don't rely on Spin so much for getting in. Don't let Sonics ground speed and movement go to waste, especially when shield is so strong in this game. Once you're in his face, you have much more room to pressure and combo him, but if you're not respecting his zoning game and keep charging spin from across the map, you're going to get hit. A lot.

I don't have a ton of experience in the Mega Man match-up, but the next time I play DarkBlues, I'll talk to him about it and share what I learn.

DG
Lost stupidly to DG when I feel I shouldnt have. Managed to beat him in pools so my mindset was **** going into the set...
Its a thing I do out of habit, im trying to cut down on it, only thing is with Sheik theres really no other option except to try and get the 1 frame punish.
