sorry but whats SHADing?
Short Hop Air Dodge. It's a form of approach. It lets you rush towards your opponent without being susceptible to attack. If you grab as soon as you land, they almost can't do anything about it. If you dodge upon landing, it happens near instantaneously and there is only a very (very) small window of time in which they can attack you upon landing, but they will try anyway and you can punish with a Fsmash or grab, or anything if they're slow enough.

The SHAD can also be used straight into a shield, for shield grabs.

I just watched the rayks match.

Just as advice (and I realize you were fighting wolf but still) your pressure game is a little lacking. Keep rushing him with Fairs and dash attacks. Also, trying SHADing into grabs more often, his throws are good, gotta fit them in somewhere cause they lead to combos. Since you use sonic, when I fight you I'll use someone else, maybe Metaknight or Yoshi.
Yeah, I try not to get too locked on the pressure game the entire time. I really try to be more unpredicatable.... I can deffinately work on timing the aerials so that I keep constant pressure. My game only improves with every match.

You need to be a member of youtube... but if you make a video comment post on this thread... I can quote it and put it under neath the video =)

Sorry, I couldn't make it tonight to play anymore. I'm pretty busy tomorrow, but I am an early riser... so we'll see. I will be uploading a few more videos tonight.

Thanks for uploading the matches!After watching them again I did make some mistakes and my consistency was lacking.Just shows that I still got a lot to learn on my road to being a real competitive player.

I use a product called Dazzle. I highly encourage you to purchase one yourself. You also need to at least two splitters (the individual cables not a box) to both play and record at the same time. There's a video on youtube that I can put up later if anyone is curious about it. It's great for when I compete on gamebattles since recording matches is the best visual evidence if disputes arise.

How much are one of those? I'd love to be able to freely upload anything epic onto youtube. Also, I just got my Lan adpter so later today if you want to play me I can. Just choose a char you want me to use, Sonic dittos = boring. I only refuse to play as: Pit, Ike, Lucario, and Wario, everyone else I can use decently effictively.

This is what I have You also need splitter cables. There is a horrible lag if you try to play straight off your computer screen.

Here is a video fo how someone uses the Dazzle:

IMPORTANT... THOSE TWO "JACKS" that he refers to at the start. They are identical. All you are looking for is a simple 1 male - 2 female RC cable (one for audio and one for video)

I agree, well Sonic Dittos can be fun, they also are frustrating. Whoever you play as is fine.

I'll play against you whenever you have the chance
Alright, just be sure to read the yellow font on the main post... it gives a good idea of when I will be around to play.

i wanna fight your ssssooonnincccc!!
You're on the priority list, buddy. Are you in high school... college... give me an idea of your schedule for tomorrow (Eastern Time Zone).

Hey, I'd love to play you, and I'm normally pretty close (Chicago), so wifi connection should be good. However, I'm on spring break until Sunday, and don't have access to my wii. Any chance you'll be on this sunday afternoon/evening?

Yeah, it was because they were doing stuff. I never disable comments.

I'm going online and I'm trying to add as many of you as I can... it would really help if you made sure your message board identified your smashboards account name so I know who to look for (my buddy list is always full now).

I've added a lot of you.

So let me know if you're looking to play right now.

LOL
L O L

well, first, its too early to tell.
second, hes low tier
First, for a smash debater you broke the number one rule and that is being contradictory to your argument.

Second, Don't use LOL its stupid.

If its too early to tell how would you be capable of saying he is low tier. Especially since Sonic does very well against characters that low tier characters. Tiers are based around how well characters do in comparison to others, not necessarily their worst matchups.
If you noticed Sonic's worst matchups come from characters that are probably high tier material to top tier material which is to be expected from someone that will be mid tier level.
His best match ups also stem from cahracters that probably will be mid tier to those most obviously low tier.

Kindly explicate why he would be low tier other than his moves?
Since the major problem that Sonic has is not the lack of kill moves but priority.
MK has little killing moves but excellent priority. He is possibly the closest character that can be compared to Sonic in terms of gameplay.
