Okay so I know how sonic is best played

[Boxob.]

If you just play him really fast and good you can win sometimes. Like when the opponent tries to do damage, avoid it and attack him. If you run at them and then run away from them and get them to attack after you run away, you can run back and attack them.

I was thinking of this and thought that maybe you guys could help me elaborate on my idea.

This sounds similar to what I do. I usually try playing extremely agressive (mostly against my friend TWiNK, who mains TL), and he usually complains that I'm too fast for his camping to work successfully.

But what do you really mean?

 

[Orange_Soda_Man]

The biggest criticism that I have for the recent Sonic gameplay videos is that there's very little running going on. Sure time spent running is less time inputting your reactions to whatever your opponent is doing, but I hardly consider that a valid enough reason to refrain from making as much use out of Sonic's mobility as you can; playstyle issue?

 

[Dark 3nergy]

so basically you want to play a falco campy style without the lasers?

I know how Sonic is best played. It's actually really simple.

Make the other guy go off the screen before you do.

 

[MarKO X]

Sonic is best played in Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

 

[Camalange]

Boxob brings up a good point. I do something similar in my gamestyle (some say I play kinda like Boku and other pro Sonics). A good mix up sometimes though Boxob is to run away, go off stage, get back on stage and punish them for attacking when they think you're gonna stay offstage.

Yeah, when you attack them after they try to attack you and can't, you can attack them again after that, like a combo. My personal favorite is the homing attack because it always goes right where they are.

 

[PhantomX]

And then you trip in front of them.

 

[Tenki]

This sounds similar

i can't... remember for the life of me who and when, and search is killing me.

Pretty much this. When he plays on point, he can punish a small mistake from the other side of the stage. It's really overwhelming, and it massively screws up my spacing, when I underestimate how fast Sonic really is.

 

[infomon]

I haven't seen Sonics use Ftilt in a while.

Like, at all.

 

[PhantomX]

Espy uses tilts quite a bit. He's even killed me with a tilt once in a while.

 

[Espy Rose]

I use everything Sonic has.
Nair and Usmash are my least used moves, but I use those once in awhile too.
I mean, I use fthrow more than those two.

I'm actually starting to use fthrow more often.

 

[Joemama8]

Personally, I try to run into as many attacks as possible...... If I run really, really, really ****ing fast I can even run into attacks on the setup next to the one im playing on. Then after I get hit by that attack I come flying back onto my screen using a flying falcon punch to win.


works every time.

Productive post FTW.....

ON TOPIC
I don't run around like when people are recovering (as I have seen some top Sonic like Espy do) since that whill just increase my chances of tripping (LOL).... I just like the pressure game.... TWiNK get over her and explain in detail why does my Sonic piss you off so bad!!!!

 

[shikashake2]

while this is true, don't let yourself become predictable. I also think that edgeguarding and gimping the opponent's recovery is very useful with sonic.

 

[Boxob.]

Lol.

 

[Camalange]

I'm hearting this thread right now.

 

[ElDominio]

I want sum Haunterz

but instead i gotz me sum Muk
or Grimer w/e that is

 

[Phoenix_Dark]

Wow Boxob, I play a lot like that too. But don't forget the manly rules of Brawl. If you knock your opponent off the stage, give him the chance to make it back. Following offstage is just an unfair advantage that Sonic has on most of the cast. I'm sure we all don't want to be like that meta***, right? Sonic's too cool for that. And too fast! Man, he's so fast, I just run past my opponents before they even throw out a move. They get so confused! I'm pretty sure no one plays Sonic as fast as me! Although, if you think you do, I'm always up to put my title as fastest thing alive up for grabs on wifi! Come get some! :3

 

[Camalange]

Phoenix...

We've been PRANKED.

It seems we have been... I'm feelin' this magenta

It shocks me that this thread engendered actual discussion. O_o

Rinse, lather, repeat.

 

[Boxob.]

Wtf is this? This is America, get outa my country, foreigner.

 

[Orange_Soda_Man]

Dair gets beat out by alot of stuff - your friend should learn alternative ways to approach.

Wtf is this? This is America, get outa my country, foreigner.

Last I checked PR was a US territory dude - he's a bro, not a foe.
Edit: Totally can't tell if you're being serious or not.

 

[Boxob.]

I'm never ever ever ever ever serious.

Especially not in here.

Sounds kinda like a few sonic pros i know, but they play a bit more grab game when it comes to running around their opponent
They normally use a Uthrow into running for mindgame, then they predict their opponent, regrab, then keep the chain successful, longest ive seen took a DK up to 70%
Running is quite efficient to becoming a good sonic player, along with spin dash canceling, but i use dashing mindgame much much more due to a few slip ups when trying to dash grab normally

Ftilt OOS is pretty good.
I've become much more campy. Like I'll aggro tech chases and rack up the damage from there. But I prefer to just run to the other side or spinshot > spring until they get miffed and start playing stupid.

So today I sprang > U-aired for a kill.

You should try it sometime.

This is still open?

Yeah guys, I like to charge fsmashes to get kills. They're just like, "Psh Sonic is so weak ill just punish thiz" and then they're like "omg I lost to a sawnik *johns*"
