No, green green's was a joke thread, even though I whole heartedly think that GG's is he best stage.

 

[ROOOOY!]

Play anyone good, or anybody with reflexes, and watch yourself get punished 90% of the time for using it.

Do a write up if you want, I might steal it for the Moveset thread. I'd like to know if it has any uses at all aside from a momentum staller/punishing Falcon Punches.

Punishing Bowser F-smash.

I'll tell you right quick that it get's you through MK's nado.

Useless? Wait for the full thread.

U-smash will too. U-smash isn't used enough.

 

[ROOOOY!]

We do not need a whole thread for any move, least of all his worst move that has very little to discuss.

I'm making the thread so you specifically can use it just a little more, it has uses, promise.

U-smash will too. U-smash isn't used enough.

I agree with you on that, Usmash isn't used nearly enough, mainly 'cause of the ending lag, but if you can make it so you don't miss, use it.

 

[ROOOOY!]

I'm actually interested as to what you're going to say about it though, don't let me discourage you or anything.

I just hate the move, not because I can't use it, but because I punish it practically every time it is used, even online, and I suck.

 

[Jim Morrison]

and I suck.

[Rickerdy-doo-da-day]

I'll be interested to see with what you can come up with Boxob

IDK, we know that homing attack sucks to recover. We only use it against people who have never played Sonic or don't know anything about him, lol. You can even spotdoge while the Homing attack is "locking on" and it totally just messes it up. Homing attack is not a RELIABLE move for anything...

EDIT: lol, I love how many people come in to tear apart homing attack so quickly XD

No here is proof that HA isn't a waste though you are right about using to for recovery it's a very risky move http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pFNJtlAeRQ&feature=releated

 

[ROOOOY!]

The majority of those Homing Attacks didn't actually hit anything other than floor/platforms lol.

:/

Good vid you won K.I.D.

 

[Chis]

I remember Roy using HA.

Nao wut?

 

[ROOOOY!]

2:20, you just got lucky xD Especially when you used it the second time, if Kirk was a little bit more on the ball he could've punished the ending lag.

4:12 ?? You just bounced off his shield lol.

And you hit at 4:38 just because for some reason he decided to unshield as soon as you released it lol.

Good match anyway, I usually hate watching Brawl videos lol


I actually have a video saved on my wii of me recovering offscreen at the bottom right hand corner on Smashville using just Homing Attack, and making it back to the stage and surviving.

That's...the only time the move has ever been of any use >_>

 

[da K.I.D.]

2:20 neither of us were expecting that lag, and for me to be that close to the ground, the same thing happened again in that match when i landed a laggy f-air, and it dodged one of his atttacks.
its still a use.

4:12. i avoided getting punished for hitting his shield with SD

4:38 I bank on that alot, that why I go for the wifi combo so often. people always let their shield up right as the HA releases.

 

[IDK]

woah the sonic boards are active. thanks for the info.

Can't you do a sheild stab when that happens?

 

[Bluehedgehog]

This is what I think of homing attack-
(Trying not to state the obvious )

Not to use it as a recovery because if my opponent is out of range this sends me downward at 45 degrees to sonic's death or more often increases the distance from sonic and the stage's ledge some times the distance is too far for the spring and youll fall.

I don't play a lot of pros so i do not know if this would work at 'tournament level' but usually when I SD-->SDJ-->Fair sometimes i like to finish off with a homing attack cancel, as the opponent is still in range of the homing attack and with the cancel reduces seconds off the charge.

[Edit] Just saw Boxob's thread lol.

da K.I.D Nice win, the last kill was impressive.

 

[Kinzer]

There are neutral B reversals, but it doesn't do much for Sonic considering the move sets it's own path towards the opponent anyway.

I thought Sonic's HA range increased if the opponent is in front of him, no?

woah the sonic boards are active. thanks for the info.

SnooPING AS usual I see!?

Eh but seriously you want see a board any livelier than Sonic boards.

Yeah it increases if a opponent is closer it helped me when I was recovering.

 

[Kinzer]

I know that, but I'm asking if Roy knew that, because from what I interpreted in his post, he didn't.

<3

 

[ROOOOY!]

Yes, I knew that.

Remember you can turnaround-B the Homing Attack so it always goes towards the stage if that's what you want. Basically, in the air tap Backwards on the control stick, then quickly Homing Attack, it will be a "reverse direction" HA. It has more range to lock-on the enemy in the direction it's facing, and if it drops at least you won't drop further away.

I don't play a lot of pros so i do not know if this would work at 'tournament level' but usually when I SD-->SDJ-->Fair sometimes i like to finish off with a homing attack cancel, as the opponent is still in range of the homing attack and with the cancel reduces seconds off the charge.

Yeaarrrrh, I always forgot about trying to immediately HA after an aerial as a pressuring follow-up. I just never think of it as an option... I'll try to remember to try it out tmrw and see how ppl respond, like if there are percents/situations where it works more often than not. Iunno.

 

[DeliciousCake]

Sonic R? I freaking loved that game.

 

[da K.I.D.]

WT...

that game sucked..
...

stop going off topic...

 

[SonicX580]

Sonic R? I freaking loved that game.

Is it really nesscary saying that? this thread is to ask a question and so far that has nothing to do with this thread or Brawl.

 

[SonicX580]

Sorry for the double post my computer went kind of glitchy for a second.

EDIT: KID SonicR is one of those Sega games that were popular at the time it has nothing to do with the boards those are Sonic riders also let's get back on topic.

 

[da K.I.D.]

i think thats what happend

Either that or he did that on purpose.

I am lol'ing at the effectiveness of DeliciousCake's obvious joke-post. He wins this round

Why did he post here he mains Zamus and I don't think Zamus and Sonic has nothing in common.

X580, we're all allowed to post wherever we want/can. These boards are for the purpose of sharing knowledge, not dividing us into arbitrary groups. Indeed, we should welcome "outsiders" as much as possible.

BTW welcome to the boards Cake, I knew you weren't a lie.

Don't get me wrong I like the fact of more people coming here infzy it's just the fact that people but do not agree with posting stuff that's not relibate to the topic/thread that's all also I forgot welcome to the sonic boards cake.

 

[Kinzer]

Don't be a hypocrit X5, this is the Sonic boards.

If we don't stay on-topic, how do we expect anybody else who comes here to do the same?

@#$% you know what, replying to you is going off-topic, let this die now.

 

[SonicX580]

Anyways is there any other properties HA is used for aside from the factors already brought up?

 

[Bluehedgehog]

What would you guys do If you HA (for what ever reason) and your opponent shields leaving you with lag and tries to punish you with up smash or up air ?

Which would be more beneficial to sonic; spring up (possibly hitting them with the spring) or air doge or something else?

 

[Chis]

I've got a question.

Why the f*** did two moderators close a thread okayed by another two moderators?
