Hey,
I just had the most annoying series of matches against one player that I've ever had.
It was against Sonic. Even though the player didn't feel like it was more skilled and I could easily find patterns, I couldn't seem to do anything about it.
Firstly his rolls. They all seem the same to me (I never ever ever play sonic unless I random), and he seems almost unstoppable when he rolls except for with fast projectiles. Even if I had an attack that could easily stop it the reaction time and internet delay makes it almost impossible to me.
Once he hits he does at least 23% fully charged and can combo into other moves. Like his uair which seemingly always gets me twice before I can get out of it.
Shielding works pretty good against the roll though punishing him doesn't appear to be an option because sometimes he jumps right before and sometimes not.
Second, his dash/grab. I saw it coming every time but couldn't react in time. He moves too fast (internet delay, although mostly minor, also contributes) and since I don't know if he will use the dash attack or the grab, just shielding or spot dodging won't work.
TLDR; Sonic wrecks me with rolls/dash attack/grab online and I can't do anything.
What do I do about this? If I can't punish him (cause there's not enough time) how do I defeat him?
Also there was this thread, but only for cpt falcon: http://smashboards.com/threads/i-cant-beat-sonic.380179/
