the official nobody made by none other than sega themselves.

umm....okaaay...she's still mine. she likes me. i played her first. you're all too slow.

Also, im traveling to PA in may yay~. Now no one cant say that speed doesnt go OoS or doesnt travel. Im...trying to think of new things for my Sonic to do. Like...more basic mixups or just more gimmicks. Or maybe just get better at reading people. I can read...but like, i need to think some more. I'm really trying to think of things that'll make me do bettah. :/

Also, darn the Sonic Comics...stinking Fiona is looking for Scourge. ugh...at least im getting a blue emerald from my bro. <3


EDIT: About my sonic problem...taken from Dnes' thread:

No sure way to land a KO. They must be earned in creative ways.
There's really no simple strategy to guarantee victory.
Individual match up knowledge is critical.
The Ugly
Sonic can't afford to become predictable. Many sonic players struggle with falling into predictable patterns.
Opponents need minimal knowledge of Sonic to keep an advantage on him.

argh, now i feel like...ugh.

Let's face it, our little blue buddy was not blessed with all the necessary skills to be dominant in the tourney scene. It comes down to the player playing sonic to make up for the lack of options sonic has. That being said, Sonic is a ****ing Bamf in the hands of someone who knows whats up. Watching a few of the "top tier" sonic players go even with the best players in the world is what keeps me with this character. It makes me think that if we just step it up a bit more, only good things can happen.

SO.

This seems appropriate......

We can go on and on about how much he sucks, but let's try to do something about it. Let's not cry, but pick sonic up and go on an Owning Steak with him.

i know...but it gets discouraging at times when you cant think of things or something like that. Plus, when you have people counting on you and you fail, its just the worst feeling in the world. :ohwell:

It wasnt 2-2, it was like....3-1 me. you cant count those cause we got called off the tv.

How are we going to have a rivalry if you fold so easily. Get a back bone. Youre good enough if youre getting closer and closer to beating the top MK in MD/VA among other things. I'm just a lazy hedgehog who has no patience to play through a loser's bracket lol.

WOWOWO DONT BE GAY! I WAS BEATING U AND U CANCELLED THE MATCH (you were just scard of defeat (smirk). AND THEN WHEN DID YOU BEAT ME 3 TIMES? I'll crush you next time so there is no debate on this. Faker

lolemospeed.

this isnt the speed i see in the md/va xat. the cocky arrogant speed.

I hate cockiness/arrogance. no point in it imo. thats why i refrain from acting like that cause its just gonna make things worse for you.

With as luck-based as Brawl seems to be, we might as well be.

I see your Meta Knight, and raise you a certain finger of mine...

i lol'd at :50
I liked your U-air1s in the first stock.


- O_o @ 1:40
If you had hit that, he would have flown up and you would have ... not.
but it's k, what happened happened lol.

- 1:50ish
While it might be habit to do so, dropping spring does not, in fact, hinder DK's recovery. Explicitly shown around 3:57. You're better off trying to do another aerial. Though, I wonder if you can ASC>footstool one. That'd be pretty kickass.

I've definitely done hit trades with strong N-air and B-air. D-air sometimes.

- 4:10 he really wanted you to D-air, and you did it. Thankfully, for that moment, he missed.

You did a pretty good job overall avoiding his B-airs and U-airs.

When I played DKs online way back, (ex: axelol, ook, ripple), they'd tend to space with B-airs/D-tilts. If you get a DK in the air, try to run so that you're in front of/below him. If you're too far front, you risk getting N-aired. Too far above, risk a FF U-air. It's usually an airdodge, so bait those. You can see much of that early in the vid ;p

Also, if he's too low and you're grounded, you risk a side-B trap, and those aren't fun :/

Towards the end, it looked like he was just baiting certain 'habitual' or obvious moves (spring d-air, spring u-air/b-air). He'd pull away and try to B-air in case of spring if you launched him upwards, for example.

For the most part you avoided them, but it almost looked like panic was getting to you x.x;

@Tenki - I appreciate it. I'm a Sonic main @ heart and NEVER wanna use Secondaries but I don't have much time 2 put into the game like I want to get better @ all da match-ups. I try to not be so predictable and show my vids cuz I wanna get critiqued and better. I hated my performance cuz I kept being so repetitive.

@0:33(thatlittleDownBwar): I wonder if you could've SDJ over his head and Bair'd him.
It depends.
If he releases it around the same time/before you SDJ, then he can still react - shield, u-air, b-air.

He probably could also have let the charge die and then sideB'd. The hop would have gone low enough so that he wouldn't have to wait for fall time (remember, SDJ goes higher than a normal jump, too =/ )

I'm not too sure about this atm, but if he released, he might have been able to clang with one of the shock waves and maybe powershield ...? I'll test that out later xD

Hey guys, im just now starting to use the footstool>spring>jablock setup and I was wonder if this works on everyone or if there are any sort of quirks this combo has that I need to know about.

Not sure if this is exactly what you asked for, but here:

Well, here's the initial chart I made for the characters nair and spring locks.



Remember, this chart displays the maximum percentage the character can be at while taking a fresh spring drop or sour spot nair in order to become locked on the ground. The colors are as follows:

1. Light Purple = MAY be nair locked from a sideB
This means that it is possible to nair lock these characters from a sideB footstool, but it's incredibly situational, mostly relying on the terrain of the map, and whether or not the opponent immediately reacts from the footstool. If they move the instant they hit the ground, the nair setup WILL NOT work.

2. Red = Setups into jab lock will almost never work
This means that the spring AND nair lock setups will fail. It only applies to Luigi, and only because he slides WAY too far to start off a jab lock before he goes out of range. If he stays on the level, however, you CAN run up and grab him or hit him during the forced-get up from the spring or nair lock. Luigi can be considered a Light Purple category when it comes to the nair lock.

3. Green = SideB > footstool > nair jab lock setup works
On these characters, sideB directly into a footstool, followed by a fast fall nair, will work at least 80% of the time, the only exception being Bowser, who's probably the most difficult character to set this up in, despite his size. Samus and Lucario both surprisingly share a weaker, but similar effect to why it's so god**** easy to lock ROB. They tilt back when footstooled, especially Samus, so you're actually closer to the ground when you footstool them, allowing you to nair into the jab lock. Lucario is probably the second most difficult only because he isn't fat, so the nair is hard to land. Olimar, of course, would be third since you HAVE to aim for the helmet. Mr. Game and Watch and Jigglypuff are in the same boat as Olimar in that they're so small that they fall longer to hit the ground, but not long enough to break out of the tumbling animation. Game and Watch's animation when hitting the ground is so long and creates such a good sized hitbox that landing a nair is no problem, while Jigglypuff is so wide that even with her DIing in any direction after the footstool, the nair should hit.

So the order of difficulty in initiating sideb > footstool > nair > jab lock would be the following (from easiest to hardest):

-ROB
-Samus
-Jigglypuff
-Mr. Game and Watch
-Olimar/Lucario
-Bowser

4. Blue = sideB > footstool > nair lock won't work
Simple as it's said. Squirtle and Ice Climbers suffer from the Luigi Effect, where they just slide wa~y too far for the nair lock to be reasonably possible. It may be doable vs. Squirtle, but if so, I suppose the difficulty must be insane. However, because they don't slide TOO far, spring into jab locks still work, but are slightly difficult to pull off.

***One thing I forgot to mention. All characters CAN be nair locked of course, but the ones not colored can ONLY be nair locked if they are hit with the sour spot after they hit the floor from a tumbling animation. One of the best ways I can think of to get those uncolored characters into those animations would be to hit them off a platform while they shield, then follow with the nair.

Then again, jab works much more reliably. Whatever floats your boats.***

Uncharge DownB>SideB? I doubt someone is gonna allow Sonic have that much time to do that lol :o
lolsorrynitpicking

But yeah, I agree with everything else. :)


Also, since I was watching video again, there was just wayyy too many unecessary spindash shield cancels o.o
