Data Moveset Thread - [COMPLETE]

[FGC-Oni]

Finally got around to doing this! You should be able to get the idea. Everything after the Nair depends on your opponent and what they may be able to do, but there isn't much time for them to make an informed decision of how to respond, so following up isn't difficult. Some characters can just get grabbed outright, but Spin Dash can help with frame trapping.

These aren't true combos are they? Inherent on opponents DI?

I'm having trouble with Sonic's DDP. Like I can't get the timing down properly for the Foxtrots. Any tips or methods for learning this?

 

[Camalange]

Rinse repeat.

Basically, do a foxtrot, wait for the movement to stop and right before the foxtrot stance starts going back to neutral, hit the direction you're facing then immediately hit the opposite direction as fast as possible.

Once you find the rhythm, it's easy.

Is this technique really usefull with Sonic ? As he has a long foxtrot

Thanks!

And yeah. I've seen Sonics like Espy use it well.

Yes. If you catch any of my matches, I use it all the time.

Sonic is twice the speed of the second fastest character in the game. We should be taking full advantage of this.

Wait wait hold up... what? Damn good technique. Im gonna keep on practicing this one.

I'm an old Project M Sonic main and I've been messing around with Sm4sh Sonic a lot lately and I thought I would let the Sonics know that you can shield drop out of Sonics side-b charge.

You can check out My Smash Corners video on how to shield drop out of special moves here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryfhRB_xihA&app=desktop

It doesn't list Sonic as one of the characters that can shield drop out of any of his special moves but I have been in the lab with Sonic for hours upon hours practicing his shield drop out of side-b charge and I can confirm 100% that he can indeed shield drop out of it.

I don't see it recorded anywhere that Sonic can do this but as an avid Sonic main in PM that wanted to push his meta forward back then, I though I would share this tidbit of info with the Sm4sh Sonic mains

If it's already been recorded somewhere in another thread that Sonic can shield drop out of his side-b than I apologize in advance for posting this. If requested I can record a video real quick, I'm just not at home atm.

 

[kid craft 24/sonic master]

Yea sonic could do this in brawl. But thanks for sharing for those that might not have known this.

 

[Camalange]

I think Bam showcased it in a video as well.

Hey ! is there any chance for us to have a topic like this, showing our hitboxes ?

Ideally they'll get around to doing the whole cast.

It's not a simple task so it's not like I can just conjure up the means to get it done.

 

[Myst_R]

Ok, I just needed a sparkle of hope and you just gave it to me ;p

 

[Camalange]

I assume that with time every character will have this.

 

[jaimex2]

I'd love to know how they get the hitboxes. There's a few wtf things with Sonic's hitboxes I'd love to explore... like what the hell happens to them when you're in SDR or SCR and turn direction... they completely vanish for a few seconds.

ofc

They probably don't want to deal with the hassle of mapping out spins.

 

[Sytal]

This thread is quite easily my favorite here. Seriously, the stuff going through here has helped my game tremendously.
And on top of all that, that BSBS video is fantastic! I let my Sm4sh circle take a look at it (though most of them don't care for Sonic for the usual reasons) and even they agree that its silly business.
This is great, keep up the good work guys!

Dang it. I've been waiting for Sonic's hitbox range data for a long time already.

 

[jaimex2]

Anyone else using UAir auto cancels to kill landing lag to nothing?

You need to use it at most 3 frames before hitting the ground and you'll be immediately able to input.

Works as a better option than teching the ground if you are out of hit stun. Most tech chases can then be countered.

 

[Camalange]

I do that quite often, actually. Just toss it out before I land. Also puts a hitbox out there which can be better than nothing.

I know Sonic has a really tricky timing where he can land with no lag before the full animation even comes out, but it's like a 2-4 frame window.

 

[MeteorSpike]

For Springing Headbutt's frame data, it says "Hits on frame... 1~2 (startup); 3~9 (mid); 10~28 (peak)"
Does Springing Headbutt literally come out on frame 1?
If so, then wouldn't that make it one of the game's best escape options?
(also side question, do any of Sonic's custom UpB's have any intangibility like the default?)

 

[RudyTutti]

Is there a thread that has stuff on conversions?

Not specifically, but there are some examples in the OP of this thread.

I am glad you are learning this Rudy. Is it because of my extensive use of it at ViaPort? LMAO

I feel like DDP (Dash Dance Pivots) is a very under utilized movement option, especially with Sonic mains.

LMBO!! Honestly I really felt like I needed to balance out my play style and become more aggressive. So learning this is definitely gonna help with that! My main problem now is just the utilizing this technique in the right situations.

 

[Rucent]

Well, I like using it mostly as a means to bait out actions and figure out patterns. I DDP towards the opponent just outside of their attack range then back then back in if they throw something out I could punish. I can choose to stay out and keep neutral going. I sometimes cross up with it, to see what they do (attack, shield, roll) and then do whatever after. I mix this along with DD'ing, Run Shields, Walking, Running, and the Spins so I can constantly be mixing up. Spacing and Mix Ups are so important if you choose to go aggressive.

To help out with spacing it, figure out every character's general attack range. Figure out what your opponent likes to do when you go in and change it every time to benefit yourself.
