I've noticed when people make their first post in these boards they get flamed, so flame away, because I've never posted here.
I looked in the Sonic forums and I couldn't find anything about this in particular, so I figured I should make a post about it.
My friends like to play light weight characters (Pit, Lucas, Kirby, Pikachu) and they absolutely wh0re their smash attacks. They are SO predictable, but it doesn't do me any good unless I'm on the defensive (which generally doesn't seem like a good strategy as Sonic). They will dash-a me, then follow with a fsmash or usmash. That's their entire strategy. They do very little dodging, shielding, aerials, or throwing. When I'm on the offensive though, I can't always predict a smash attack and they are usually clipping me with some every few hits I get on them (I do back off every once in a while when necessary, so it's not a matter of me blinding charging them and then wondering how to stop getting creamed). I do dodge offensively and shield when I can and generally they'll whiff their smashes. But the problem is I can't get them on their ***** after I dodge a hit, because as soon as I'm out of a dodge another is flying my way.
When I'm another character I can just easily dodge their moves and counter them with a combo or smash. I've played Sonic the most by far since I got Brawl, but he's the character I lose most often with. I pick up someone like Mario or Rob and I dominate them with ease.
What moves do I use to punish dash attacking and smash spamming? Or, any strategies I should be implementing?
Oh also on a side note, when I play my friends who are good at Brawl, I do much, much better against them with Sonic.
