I use Sonic since he's one of my mains. He's a relatively good fighter despite lacking projectiles. Plus, I find that he's much easier to use than characters like Captain Falcon (I'm no good with Brawl Capt. Falcon).

Sure he may lack killing moves, but his f-smash, d-smash, and f-air can cover those things up if used correctly.

Oh yeah. If we're gonna talk about music, im able to play of the SA and SA2 songs on guitar. Havent tried playing the PS3/360 game on guitar yet but that version Zebrahead did on His World sounds sick

"It doesn't matter, now what happens. I will never, give up the fight! It doesn't matter..."

Lolololololololol, but for srs business? It's 'cause I believe he has a massive amount of potential, both for competitive play and fun.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and most importantly, it's SONIC THE %)!@$*% HEDGEHOG!

I pick him since I'm a huge Sonic fan and he's the most fun to play with. Gotta love that speed.

idk i think sonic has a lot of great options. as long as you put some serious time into playing him, stringing attacks together is a breeze. hes tough to predict and it's not that hard to KO if you keep switching up your methods of doing so. plus, the way people that rarely play *against* sonics act when they're facing one that keeps changing up their game is hilarious

He really isn't that bad. Besides, he's Sonic the Hedgehog. Ever since EGM, ever since he arrived on a Nintendo console... man. He was destined to be in eventually. We all knew it (I feared otherwise as some may know), but it was just a matter of time. And he really doesn't disappoint me by much.

He is TONS of fun to play as. Sure he has problems like lack of range but I don't see how he is THAT bad.

I'm also a fan of Sonic games but I chose Sonic because I like how he plays.

Yeah, if Knux was in the game, I'd probably main him. He'd definintely have more kill moves.

your a sonic fan so cool......but skill>luck? lol i find that offensive,and again i think i know how good sonic is lol
I would like to believe that everyone here knows that Sonic is good. The reason I even joined SmashBoards was to participate in the learning of Sonic, because when I lost that first match, it became clear that Sonic was a different kind of animal.

And why does skill>luck offend you?

I pick Sonic simply because he's my favorite game character =), I've been using him since Brawl came out, also he's a good character... but he sucks as well lol

Oh and I forgot to say, Lucky your amazing as Sonic, I watched your combo vids on youtube and all that, I learned a lot of moves/techniques from watching your matches, and long story short.. your another reason I still use Sonic.

lolol, I guess I'd be Skillful if Lucky's name is indicative of playstyle, mmhmm.

Sorry I'm taking so long to get my combo vid out, finals and all that. Expect it, along with my guide FINALLY being updated, sometime after they're finished.

Duh... his name is Lucky... I feel so stupid.

Well, I obviously mean nothing personal about it, but I still stand by the statement. Even Lucky got skills.
