Sonic's Non-Special Moveset
Alright then: I know I'm new here but I think this might be insightful for a lot of Sonic Fans, such as myself who want to know if Sonic will suck or not:
A lot of power laid outside of special ("B") moves in melee, so I'm expecting that to remain the same in brawl. I've taken the time to edit some movies and to extract difficult to see parts of some of them. If this seems redundant, I'm sorry, but then again I am new here. The images are small but recognizable, sorry about that. Links to the videos I used are at the end of the post.
Sonic's forward A in air(?): Looks like some sort spin thingy (think Kirby's fair in SSB 64) and looks fast and deals 11 damage to Link in the instruction video.
Sonic's back A in air: This one looks like a dead give away that it is, and he moves back where his feet was afterwards. Also from the instruction video.
Sonic's Side Smash?: This look weird to me, so I don't know if it really is, but in a video featuring Sonic vs Meta Knight in a super sudden death, Sonic appears to do some sort of SSB 64 style side smash (think Mario SSB 64).
Here is the wind up...
... and there it is.
Sonic's Down B in Air or Dair?: It could seem the "falcon kick" thing Sonic does in actually a Down B instead of a "Dair" because most of the time characters do not move that far after using an air attack. Furthermore, he uses this attack AFTER the spring jump in the Sudden Death video... any thoughts on this? I don't see why Sonic would have two spindashes in mid air.
The Uair for Sonic seems pretty obvious, so any thoughts, disagreements, "you're a noob" statements?
