PILE OF TOTODILE, etc

was beyond ********.

 

[Tenki]

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?

If your opponent reacts right away, you can't avoid it.

Though, you can probably escape a U-smash with spring or double jump. Or even a double jump (to aim) > D-air (use the 'stall' part to make them miss the U-smash, then nail them on landing)

I've got a question.

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

yeah >_>

It didn't reduce spam in the boards at all. It looked more like it encouraged it. I stopped reading after all the Sonic Unleashed talk, and only posted once in a while for random stuff that I didn't feel was for posting elsewhere.

Depends, I usually out of habit just Spring to safety just because my opponents will be able to retaliate... at the moment.

I wonder if another Sonic main can help you with this answer, though.

Global rules... and their closing it was at least somewhat justified.

Basically, they said "get a hobby!" because we spend way too much time here and therefore more social activity leads to spam.

IDC anymore anyway, this forum is boring 99.9% of the time. The only reason I still come here is to collect data to be able to place higher in the tourneys I attend. That, and to get things finished around here.

Edit: I like how two other Sonic mains posted at the same time or close to it... only further clarifies this place is boring, and we have nothing better to do.

 

[Rickerdy-doo-da-day]

Tenki you sound like you too have given up on this place :/ It disheartens me

Is there absolutely nothing you can do about a whiffed Homing Attack's landing lag?

Chis, ALL of the chatrooms have been closed this time, even the Peach Chatroom which has avoided getting closed multiple times
And the stuff posted just before it got closed was pretty out of order spam-wise

 

[Chis]

That's BS.

Then they should go to every other board and do the same. This one wasn't reported, it was approved.

 

[Kinzer]

Chis, go look at the other boards, they DID close every other chatroom thread.

Wrong.

Look at the Bowser boards. We get like 10 posts a day over there. That is boring. XD

 

[Jim Morrison]

They went to a couple of boards already. But yea, I know why we just don't want the sBR as chatroom. It requires you to constantly go to the social groups and back to the boards which is too much trouble for the Sonic board princesses.

EDIT: Im gonna help the Bowser boards. Gf2tw to the rescue.

 

[Kinzer]

...I rest my case.

...Say, what brings you over to the Sonic boards anyway?

Still, this place isn't good for anybody to be in, nothing but crazy comes out of here.

Get out while you still have some sanity left in you.

I'm here for no reason whatsoever.

EDIT: I was actually under the impression that there was steak here.

Get out while you still have some sanity left in you.

Take a good look at my signature. I never had any sanity to begin with.

 

[Jim Morrison]

At some point where you have no sanity left it starts to turn into negative sanity where Sonic Boards just isn't enough. You need to infect other boards. I reached that point, I'm going to the Bowser boards.

 

[Kinzer]

This place is getting disappointing... hence the new avi.

BTW thanks Terios.

 

[Jim Morrison]

I made it better ! Mine is the face.

 

[Kinzer]

I'm too lazy to go to MS paint to just capture the face... Whatever.

 

[Jim Morrison]

Kinzer, wanna brawl?

 

[Kinzer]

If you don't mind lag I guess... go ahead to make the room, I'll be in shortly.

Edit: Nvm you're too slow, I have the room up and ready.

 

[Sonic on the Rocks]

I have a question...Does anything affect the distance of the Spinshot? If so, what?

 

[Tenki]

you get max distance with a perfect timing, less distance if you release a little later.

You can slow it down if you hold back, and you break the spinshot effect altogether if you attack or airdodge.

As for height, there's nothing you can do about it

 

[Chis]

Also you can DI the length from the peak of the spin shot.

 

[wildjango]

i have a very nooby question ,please dont flame me.
what exactly is spinshot???

 

[Chis]

The answer is on the first post Jango. O:

 

[wildjango]

oh woops i feel stupid ,thanx tho

 

[SonicX580]

Hey I got a question on Homing Attack what is the hitback and lag of the move?

 

[Bluehedgehog]

The 'shortcut' (down b and c stick) of the spin shot seems to be slower to me, some one else needs to confirm this as I am not 100%

Hey I got a question on Homing Attack what is the hitback and lag of the move?

Well I can't explain it too technically but if your opponent blocks/dodges the HA and it hits a wall, shield or floor Sonic is in midair for like 1-2 seconds where he cant do anything...

HA does 8% (i believe) and you can 'gimp' kill people with it ( some high percentages I have managed to SDJ to HA and kill them but this might not work on better players). Thats what I know about homing attack knock back, hope this answers your question...

 

[thecatinthehat]

The 'shortcut' (down b and c stick) of the spin shot seems to be slower to me, some one else needs to confirm this as I am not 100%

Down-B is faster by 2 frames.

That's alot. It might not sound like much, but trust me, that's alot.


In another note, is anyone else missing their "quick reply" box?

It's not showing up for me.

D:

 

[Bluehedgehog]

It is here for me I'm using it lmao


So are you saying the short cut is slower? And I can't seem to do it without the short cut, I think it might because I'm using wavebirds; I have heard there is like .001 sec lag or something...

 

[Tenki]

[down-B] > [C-stick side] can only be used in the air, but cat says it's faster by about 2 frames. I'm not sure if it's really 2 frames, but you can kind of feel like it's faster.

[Side-B] > [jump/attack] can be used anywhere, ground or air

My personal input for it is [Side-B] > [A] (I slide my thumb from B to A). If you jump vertically, you're pressing A too early. If you don't jump very far, or you see a hop then double jump, then you're pressing A too late.

If you're doing the side-B spinshot, input delay doesn't really make a difference in whether or not this works, but the gap of time between releasing B and making Sonic double jump does. Input delay won't change the time between changes in input, so it shouldn't matter.

Yea I tend to use the ISDJ because it has the hit box and jumps higher and also i guess some times my opposition are unaware if I'm going for a direct dash or jump. When i do side B i jump vertically on my second jump and cant move; like you said Im pressing it too early thanks I always thought it was too late and couldn't get it sooner.

 

[da K.I.D.]

funny, cus my timing on spinshot is my thumb going from b to Y i think (the jellybean on the side not the top)

 

[thecatinthehat]

lmao... "jellybean".

The one on the side is X.

X? Why don't you just press A?

Meh.. IDK, I use the c-stick.

 

[da K.I.D.]

i dont know? thats just the timing i learned it with...

if i did use A i would probably hit the button too soon.

lol. All I did was resize in paint and upload it. It took under a minute. XD

 

[wildjango]

is sonic's wall jump any useful??? btw wat is a shutter step smash?

 

[Kinzer]

Walljumps have saved me sometimes from deaths. Though probably another Sonic player will have to answer that for you.

As for a SS F-Smash, it's a simple trick used to gain some extra range on Sonic's Forward Smash.

 

[wildjango]

wats the trick???

 

[Kinzer]

How to perform it?

I wouldn't know, I play with the Wiimote!

 

[infomon]

Smash backwards on the control stick then quickly Fsmash on the C stick.

 

[Rickerdy-doo-da-day]

In what situation should I use Side B or Down + B?

I know the different but currently, all I ever seem to use is Down + B, even for spin shots cause I just quickly jump up and do it with Down + B...the only time I seem to use Side B is to spam shielded versions of it

 

[wildjango]

well side b i like to use 4 recovery but thats just me
