Hey guys,

This is Gonzo the Kirby mainer and i've been tryin to find a secondary that i can use primarily against DDD.

I've played Sonic a few times and i love how fast he is. His neutralB is really annoying to me but other than that i really like playing.

I wanted to know what tips uall have for General spacing, damage building, gimping the edge, and last but not least, finishing.


Thanks :)

There was once a legendary kirby mainer who also tried to learn Sonic here... Oh the memory.

Anyway, this little video guide is useful, gives most of the basics, and even has examples of how to aim Homing Attack (lol it's a good move once you can do it correctly)

Use Sonic's speed to control the space: stay slightly out of range (NOT across the level), and rush in once you see a lag moment (landing lag, slow moves, etc)

Regardless of what they say, Sonic does well in the air-
N-air for a 'sexkick', U-air for juggling, F-air for damage, B-air for KO/damage, and D-air (sweetspot) for gimping/"semispikes"

Tilts are useful.

His spindash attacks, because of their inherent combo ability, work best to rack up damage, if you can get the timing for the combo hits to count.

useful stuff there.
