Homing attack: the lie.

[Boxob]

I'm on my phone right now so I don't know if I can keep up with my grammar, but I'll try.

To home means to follow, correct? Not with Sonic. Calling this move a homing attack is blasphemis, IT DOES NOT FOLLOW, IT ONLY LOCKS ON THAN FOLLOWS THROUGH WITH THE GIVEN PATH. If it were to home, it would not miss.

Discuss the lies.

 

[OwL]

I see how it is.

 

[TwinkleToes]

You're a lie, boxob. You're a lie.

 

[Pero]

They where just keeping it original. I mean think of another name call it then? It would be unfair to follow the enemy in brawl. But if u look at the other sonic games it actually "homes in"

Any Sonic game where he homes in is simply a disgrace to the GOOD Sonic games.

Air dash.
Air rush.
No?

 

[fujbubccc]

...WHAT?

*reality crumbles under feet, falls into nothingness*

 

[whiteolimar]

So what if it is not a total homing attack. What do you expect?

 

[Pero]

Hes not gettin that Nintendo cant change the name of Sonic's moves. And a Homing attack that "homes in" (which means u cant dogde it) is unfair. And really Homing doesnt nessisarly mean it wont miss.

And i never said the Sonic games where he actually "homes in" are good or great.

There is nothing wrong with the 3d sonic games... except sonic 3d (or cd, cant remember what its called)

Sonic CD was not in 3d.

Sonic 3D Blast was.

And the only good 3d sonic game was Adventure 1.

On the subject of the move, it is a half-home. Locks onto an opponent, and then homes in on that particular point. But half-homing attack isn't that good of a move name, it is?

Ahh yea that Sonic my Bad and Sonic adventure 2 was good. But i guess its just me i like sonic heros also it was fun.

 

[MarKO X]

SA1 and SA2 were the best 3D Sonic games.
Sonic Heroes is good, but it's one of those games where, you know, you gotta try it before you buy it. I like it, got all A's and Super Hard Mode and whatnot.

Homing Attack in Smash is clearly dumbed down. So is the Spin Dash. Remember in SA1 and SA2 how you could spin dash and then press B or Y (depending on whether you played on DC or GC) to get back to running on your feet? And remember how fast the homing attack was in those games? Yeah. Sonic is low tier because he CHOOSES to be low tier. Unlike Snake, who said, "The hell with these cartoon characters," and blows everybody up.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

I would LOVE it if you could spin cancel. Just spin then stop it and slide across the stage charging an Fsmash.

 

[R4ZE]

its just a name... who cares.

 

[Boxob]

Lies.

 

[Nigma 7]

...does anyone even use HA?

 

[aeghrur]

...does anyone even use HA?

Yeah, just about everyone use HA for something.
Finishing off combos.
Punishing predictable moves.
(H)Edgehogging at times.

 

[Mmac]

Wait? Did you just say Sonic CD was HORRIBLE?!?

Whats wrong with you!

 

[iRjOn]

No one here said Sonic CD was horrible...>_>
Pero said Sonic the Hedgehog for the 360 and PS3 sucked.
I agree with...

 

[Kinzer]

I would kill just to get this as an AT for Sonic.

 

[TheREALShadowChaos]

It homes into the place that it locked on. And it does that very well.

 

[Rickerdy-doo-da-day]

This thread has opened my eyes. Such wonder and joy.

You could get a Homing attack in S&K3 if you got all the emeralds (including the master emerald) with Sonic and changed into Hyper Sonic

 

[R4ZE]

HA is stilla great move if you use it right. as long as the opponent doesent see it coming, or know how you time it, its not too hard to hit with it.


i often times get ppl saying "wtf" after i hit them with HA, because they dont understand it's hit reach like i do.

and , if you use HA right, you can kill people with it, so it is worth the hit miss.


and always up-b after HA if your target is grounded and you miss, jsut do it. because if u dont u could get a nice punish.

 

[Greenstreet]

pppffffft. zGood guys outsmart 'homing' missiles on the time. Obi-wan just threw his space junk out the back of his ute and got away from certain death. The naming homing has always flirted with semantics.

 

[Boxob.]

This is also important.

 

[Kinzer]

No, it's not.

Unless you meant to tell/remind everybody how bad HA is.

Then we already knew/if someone didn't, learn about it.

 

[Orange_Soda_Man]

Maybe tenki can use the valuable information in this thread for his HA research to make HA have a purpose.

 

[ROOOOY!]

HA doesn't have a purpose.

I was enjoying Boxob's necrophilia until I saw he'd revived this thread.

</3

 

[chaoechidna]

it is pretty useless. reminds me of falcon punch... just much much much weaker. Still, if you ever get a kill off with it, it feels good. and the other person feels like an idiot. so yea, it's a falcon punch.

oh, and again, recovery when you have an opponent that doesn't know to spotdodge. maybe "attack" wasn't the best way to name it. more like... "homing move" or "semi-homing move."

 

[Fuelbi]

ummmm actually i thought homing was more like locking on to your target in the nearest possible range. so that does not mean that it has to follow wherever the target goes. it has to be within a certain range right? i kinda sound stupid now dont i

 

[Camalange]

Why are we still discussing this move?

 

[Orange_Soda_Man]

this move is good for punishing pikachu's Dsmash ending lag. That's it.
/thread

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Even that's useless cause if you shield it you can Fsmash at the end. If they miss entirely you can stand out of their range and charge a uFsmash.


Also Chis. WTF? Close this ****.
