Seeking advice in facing Sonic.

[fxsoundxf]

I am half decent at this game, I really enjoy playing. The character I seem to struggle with the most online is Sonic. If anyone has any general advice on taking him down I would appreciate it. I typically use Fox, Mario, Falcon online.

I had some problems with him before, but, I just started to shield a lot more and grab him. Shield and grab, shield and grab. The moment he spins up I shield and let him fly around and then when he stops, I try to grab him.

I still struggle a little bit against him, but it became a lot easier when I just started to shield more.

There's a reason his name beings with an "S."

S tier m8.

There's no stopping him.

Just let it happen.

You'll never beat him.

Because you're too slow.

Falcon can shield a side/down B, wait for the stop if Sonic doesn't jump, and can dash grab with his run speed. If Sonic jumps when he misses, Nair/Bair/Uair to apply pressure. Not all Sonic's just spin to win though. He can shield cancel the side b spin dash for mind games and dash grab you when you're shield comes up if you are close enough. If he dash attacks you shield and dash attack him since its very unsafe. However, his biggest problem is KOing. His best options are catching get up options from the ledge with U/Fsmash and dashing Usmash, or Uthrow->Spring (wait)->Uair/Bair. Falcon Kick beats spin dashes but only use it when he starts moving since he can shield cancel it. Don't forget you can use Uair/Dthrow > Knee at lower percents.
