Feeling limited on Battlefield?

[PX Pachi]

I feel like some of my actions are limited on Battlefield. Maybe I just need to switch up my style on that stage but I lose the ability to do some of my handy followups on that stage, mostly ones using HA. Or maybe just stages with prevelant platforms in general. I just wanted to know how you guys felt about Sonic and Battlefield.

 

[ROOOOY!]

I hate BF, especially against certain characters who can juggle, Mario or Falcon I see you dere.
How the **** do you approach on battlefield? Everytime I just seem to be like 'right I'm getting fireball/whatever spammed imma spinshot behind them'. But now I'm on a platforms above them getting juggled to hell.

Yes. Sonic is limited on small or multi-layered stages.... Kinda.... it definitely feels like it due to the fact that he can't unleash his full speed to overwhelm and pressure his opponent; well, he can, it's just much harder. Your opponent can hide up on or below platforms or on the other side of walls creating an obstacle which you have to slow down and navigate around. It makes your approach more predictable.

On the other hand, for Sonic, at least in Battlefield, his Usmash will hit people above him on platforms; so abuse this. Also, forget trying to drop through the platforms, just run off the sides of them; use an Nair if you feel like you need to cover your descent, or use Spin Charge. If they're on platforms above you, abuse your Up Smash; Or get them away from the platforms, push/throw them to the stages edges and fight off stage or follow them up in the air for a juggle, platforms make it easy for you as well. When you're both on the ground, short hops are your friend.

So Sonic can do just fine, you just have to play a little differently.

At least you can go under the Battlefield with Spin Dash / Charge as long as you haven't use you second jump. Don't know how to use this properly, but it's an option (Unless this is removed with the upcoming update). Anyway, Augi summed it up quite nicely: take advantage of your Up-Smash & short-hops. You can't control space as usual, so do your best to stay on them with aerials / spin-charge. Go for d-throws if possible here.

I love Battlefield.

Am I the only Sonic who loves Battlefield?

Platforms are ****ing cool.

I really understand the love for battlefield but honestly it is like my 3rd or 4th choice for a stage pick. It makes for great mix ups and strategies against certain characters. But so far my go to choice is arena ferox and then Yoshi's or Rainbow. But people usually think they can take me to fd and win so I don't ever have to pick fd anymore.

Battlefield is always my go to stage. I feel like I have so many more options on that stage than fd or omega fd stages. Also, I hate yoshi's island on this game. The slopes are goofy and the blast zones **** with my head.

People always have this notion that Sonic is best on FD... idk who started the whole "Sonic likes flat levels" thing. I guess it's because of threads like these. Also, are Ferox or Rainbow legal anywhere?

I was never too keen on Yoshi's either, honestly. I was kind of bummed it returned from Brawl. Plus we can't even take advantage of the slopes anymore so there's like no reason for me to want to use it.

Prism Tower is great though.

 

[Sonic Orochi]

I hate YI, specially against Bowser Jr.

Also, no more iSDR

 

[Camalange]

Just don't go to YI against Bowser Jr.

Why?

I just try to not go there in general, lol.

Sorry, I meant what I meant in my new edited post. *Crashboardsfeelings*

 

[Camalange]

Yoshi's lack of iSDR abuse is my biggest complaint about having it come back. I'm curious why you hate YI against BJ.

 

[Sonic Orochi]

It's because I lost a FG match due to not being able to properly deal with the mechakoopa in that stage but that's most likely due to lack of matchup experience..

I kicked his ass in an omega stage afterwards, though.

 

[ROOOOY!]

Yes. Prism Tower is amazeballs.

 

[Phoenix_Dark]

I love prism tower. It's my favorite cp. Also, mechakoopas are super easy to grab.
