Why is FTilt that low? I think other than FSmash it's the longest-reaching move we have.

But then again, UAir and Bair and Spring and HA are argueable technically as well, etc.

I just think it's pretty limited in use, that's all.
Maybe I'm being a little harsh on it though.

And oh snap I forgot dash attack too lol.

I'll make changes if people agree on stuff.

I'm kinda ignorant on Sonic but I always thought bair was a top tier sonic move :/

I think Bair is alright where it is.

It has startup time, is Sonic's 3rd best K.O. move in terms of power, and a bunch of other junk.

Anyway as for Steak, it can noly be done if you are an elite core.

if anything, you should probably put DTilt lower and FTilt higher. I'm not saying switch them, but I think they need rearranging.

I love dtilt lol, I guess I was a little bit bias against it.
Seriously, if dtilt did a few percent more and had a little more range, it'd be Sonic's best move.
It's underused as it is now.

I'll change things if others agree. (: <3

Maybe a little less ending lag too, I dunno.

If they shield your DTilt, can't they just grab you before you can initial another attack?

I guess. But that's coming from me, when I never use DTilt unless on accident. I don't like how it moves me forward and right into the heart of the opponent if it doesn't connect.

Then maybe just a smidge lower, and we're all good.

Anyway I suppose it was good that Roy did the tier list thread fab junk, he made the movement discussion anyway.

I'm doing the spring write-up in an hour or so, I'm watching something on TV atm.
I'll leave dthrow for a day, see if there's any more discussion of it.
Ehh, there's not that much discussion I know at the minute, because we're covering stuff that's obvious and just known by competant Sonic mains.
The real discussions gonna come when we talk about what moves to use against different enemies and their playstyles and such.

This threads just for general discussion really.

Sonic needs a "how do you counter X character's Y move?!" thread.

We pretty much have whorenado covered, now to work on some other annoying moves for us, like maybe G&W's Bair or something.

Also why is Nair that high? I know it's already low as is, but if you look at it, I don't think it can score K.O.S anytime soon, is Sonic's worst move for terms of range, and uhm... I think Spring is better to get out of sticky situations than that, but I dunno.

WTF where's side-taunt? It should be steak tier together with steak itself.

BTW, SonicX and homing attack should be switched around. I found more uses for HA than for SonicX (LOL)

Change thread name, ***s only will use top tier moves

That's evil Gf2.

But I gotta admit, I guess it's some kind of tradition to make fun of him now.

It's still mean though.

Also OMFG how did I forget side-taunt?! It's too good.

Obviously Quoted....

Lol fad from the other character boards. Word, I noticed that too.

Top

Steak
Side Taunt
Up Throw
Uair
Spincharge.


High

Spring
Bair
Dtilt
Dash attack
Dthrow
Up smash
Spindash


Mid

Pummels
Fair
Bthrow
Fsmash - I dunno, I find this more useful than usmash, but that's me.
Utilt
Ftilt
Nair


Low

Dsmash
Dair
Jab - Really? I find jabs useful, despite the fact that they only do 7% altogether.
Fthrow - Is fthrow really that bad? Cause I use it quite a bit.






SonicX580 - lololol



















Die in a hole tier

Homing Attack - I think this is higher than SonicX850.


Discuss? Banter has been a bit...barren recently. Anything for a bit of life back in the boards lol. - Well yeah, I think it's because we're embarrassed at how Sonic Unleashed turned out....

F-throw to me has hardly any setups, and the lag from recovering it leaves you vurnerable.

Personally, I never use it unless D-throw isn't working and I just want to get damage in.

It's funny because sometimes after an Fthrow, your opponent will try to retaliate with an aerial which leads to a shieldgrab>Fthrow.

Works once in a while...on people who don't know how to DI the throw.

If only Sonic would kick people inbetween their knees if he haoppens to get another F-throw out, then it would be higher up on the tier list.

Who started this moveset tier list thing anyway?

I'm not a sonic main, so I guess I can take the incoming flame if appropraite, but wouldn't Fthrow be perfect for a Fair?

and from there, you land first allowing you to follow up with another air attack (preferable UAir or Bair)?

If this was Melee, maybe, but most people can airdodge out of anything, or DI properly. I still use fthrow pretty frequently though.

Sometimes, but Uthrow is a much better option because...
It does more damage
Puts your opponent in a better position than an Fthrow
You just have more options overall out of a Uthrow than Fthrow.

Although, if your opponent starts to DI your Uthrow, throw in an Fthrow. It mind****s them and does the same effect as a Uthrow.

D*** straight it is. It is high in damage, it sets up for a Uair right after at low %ages, and at higher %ages might lead into a Spring to Uair star K.O. at a very early (though still high) percentages.

I feel so good when I get star K.O.s.

Fair for high tier. Or at least, higher..... deffo more useful than Dtilt IMO!! I mean, Dtilt's fine, but..... SDJ's into Fair for racking damage and positioning, IMO... don't want Uair to be too stale, can often do equal or more damage with Fair.

Also, X580 deffo better than homing attack; he has the potential to improve :laugh: whereas HA can only get worse as opponents learn how it works and how easily punishable it is.
AND X580 pwned me in a WiFi Sonic ditto lololol so I got nothing on 'im. You gonna say I suck? Bring it!

... and I could post the vids of my Sonic beating Gf2tw's in dittos lololol which might put you below SonicX580 on rankings :laugh:

meaningless rankings, of course, but nonetheless.... guys no need for us to put other Sonic mains down. It's the MK's and Snakes we need to beat the living snot out of overthrow.

Yeah that sounds good Infzy and Napilopez it is funny when I hit Tenki with HA I remember when in Final Destionation when I faced him when he had high damage he edge guard me so I used HA to KO him I lost but it was so funny.

yeah, but also note that the HA would have killed you (or at least wouldn't have let you recover) if it hadn't been WiFi ;-)

Lol Infzy, really post them, and sure I might not be as good as X580.

EDIT: btw, those were old, in our last battle, our Sonic = equal :D

so like... maybe we should all vote for this list, the same way they did for the final melee tier list. since other boards are talking about how these threads should be stickied since they would help new players (ie, NOT the WCD thread) know what moves they should be using more often than others etc...

I don't think this needs to be stickied, it's just a "for fun" kind of thing.

And besides that, Sonic is a very player-dependent character, you will almost never see the same two people play Sonic the same way, which is why this tier list can fluctuate.

Take me and Roy for example, he likes to use DTilt, whereas I will never use it, and I use a lot of HA into my game, but he will probably never use it, maybe not even for recovery methods.
