Social SGD: The hedgehogs are back in town.

[Chis]

Should be noted that atomsk vs adhd's match was on YI too.

 

[Browny]

lol...

Diddy's dtilt is just like EVERY OTHER GROUND ATTACK IN THE GAME (minus MK's attacks).

There's nothing special about it, it will clank like everything else will and you can't get a frame advantage since it will put both characters in the neutral state at the exact same time.

 

[Suspect]

LOOOOOOOOOL

caps:

 

[Espy Rose]

Okay, then let me rephrase it.
Diddy ***** Sonic's iSDR because his dtilt is too good.

Better, Browny?
Now eat those delicious little cherries.

 

[ADHD]

What is an iSDR?

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Y'know that thing where on YI and Picto we'll run to the side and be invincible throughout the SpinDash Roll? It's that.

 

[Dark 3nergy]

he means slants, the little slanted geometry on YI and Pictos ledges offer Sonic invincibility frames when he spins on top of that geometry

 

[infomon]

lol you guys are jerks, he might actually think you're serious.

 

[Tesh]

You guys might want to explain exactly how it works if you want to help him. Or he won't recognize the billion other places this can happen.

 

[Trent]

Bye guys.

Hangin' up the running shoes.

 

[infomon]

Trent: do you really think it's the character that's been holding you back? who ya switchin' to?

 

[NH Cody]

Don't quit Trent, you looked like you were doing so well when I saw you play at Apex

 

[Trent]

I'm not quitting Sonic.

I'm quitting Brawl.

 

[Kinzer]

I'm not quitting Sonic.

I'm quitting Brawl.

*Pounds chest.*

I hear ya bro.

Brawl sucks.

It's just a shame that you have to stop playing Sonic in order to do that. Is there any reason you're hanging up ya Nikes?

Regardless though, I'll miss you. I heard lots of good things about you and didn't get to see much; if anything. Good luck in your future endeavors.

 

[Exceladon City]

I'm not quitting Sonic.

I'm quitting Brawl.

That's how I feel right now.

 

[XLR8TION]

What is an iSDR?

ive never heard of such words

 

[Isatis]

I'm not quitting Sonic.

I'm quitting Brawl.

you made apex so fun for me. sad to see you go :<

 

[Life]

Hey Trent (because you'll feel guilty and come back and see this ), whenever that acting thing takes off you come back and let us know, okay?

[Espy Rose]

Goddamnit KID!

That's MY job! I DO THAT!

However, the fact that someone else knew exactly what to do pleases me greatly.
You're alright, KID.

 

[Tesh]

Odd, I was looking for a picture earlier to express that very thought.

I thought Trent had a hand injury preventing him from playing. Ah well.

 

[infomon]

I'm not quitting Sonic.

I'm quitting Brawl.

oh! well that's fair.

While you're at it, quit videogames altogether.

 

[BSP]

Aww, Trent's leaving

 

[Tesh]

Thread title should be changed to express the despair and sadness in all of our hearts.

 

[Xaltis]

Bye guys.

Hangin' up the running shoes.

YOUR NOT LEAVING YET! Not till we meet again at another tourney!

 

[B_AWAL]

Got damn I swear I leave 4 a few dayz & u guys have a full books-worth of info 2 read

 

[Deleted member]

Damn, Trent...that's too bad.

Hopefully you'll be back in a month or two, like the NEOH players that quit.

Good luck to whatever else you may be doing Trent!

Hello, I'm relatively new to competitive smash and don't really have a main yet. I was thinking of working with Sonic but someone told me he's hard to use. I was just wondering if that means Sonic is more skill-based?
I hope you'll be seeing more of me later.

M-Wolf: First, welcome to SWF / the Sonic board!

Sonic is a solid mid-tier character (meaning in the grand scheme of things, he's about midway between Meta Knight (best character) and Ganondorf (worst character) in terms of how effective he is and how often Sonic players win). He's constantly improving however, and Sonic players have probably improved his game more than any other character save perhaps Olimar or Meta Knight. His main strengths lie in the ability to fake other characters out, his general mobility, and his excellent offstage game. However, he has trouble finishing off opponents, often not getting kills until very high percents. Lucario is probably the most difficult matchup for Sonic because of this.

Notable Sonic players include Espy and X (who famously placed 5th and 6th at MLG Dallas), Sonicmaster5 (call him Speed), and pretty much everyone else here

Spoiler

other than me <.<

. (And apparently Atomsk too. Who knew?)

I'd say to check out the Community Guide, but it's still a work in progress. In the meantime, you can also check out the Winning Steak Cinemas thread for Sonic videos, and the various other stickied threads, which should be of immense help should you decide to main Sonic.

 

[M-Wolf]

Thanks for the information, I'll look into the threads. :stupidleek:

 

[Xaltis]

I will go down to Nebraska and drag Trent away from his corn. I'll bring him to tourneys.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Trent should at least come to Oh Snap 6 in Norman in January. D:

Same goes for any other Sonic who can make it to Oklahoma.

How well you do as Sonic depends on how well you can read and react to the other player. That kind of thing will come from experience/playing with people. Once you get that down, he has a bunch of little gimmicks and traits (like his ground speed) that you can use to your advantage.

Otherwise, you'll probably just flail around for a bit

Lolololo Sega Kitten!

 

[Exceladon City]

Isn't it a teeny bit funny that we lose one Cornhusker and gain another somehow?

 

[~TBS~]

...Zasalamel?

Sega Kitten!

I was thinking the same thing. I think the new guy is Trent in disguise.

Me as well. Hmm...

even if he isn't, let's pretend he is, to ease the longing in our hearts.
