Social SGD: The hedgehogs are back in town.

[TheAwesomefroggy]

I like the video idea, but what if we discover something new? Probably won't happen, so I guess we could though. Espy (or D1AOS?) should probably make it.

Oh, and did we, like, forget about those matchup export threads of something? We said we'd make a character discussion on Marth soon. It's past soon...

 

[kid craft 24/sonic master]

well i do want to be able to show my ledge canceled bairs so other sonic's can do it, that and some sonic's may not know that you can cancel the landing lag of HA by sliding sonic off a ledge using his momentum

 

[FRiSKruns]

Forgot to say this, but...I beat X 2-0 in a $5 MM at Apex.

I AM THE KING OF SLAYING 's.

Beneath my throne I have the heads of Speed, D1aos, Meek, X, Espy, Xlr8 (lol), Wedge, Kid goggles, and Bionic.

+3 matchup in Seagull's Favor. +2 matchup for other 's probably.

Step it up 's.

Well guess so far we can set one goal for 2013;

Learn to fight wolf

Challenge Accepted, and I WILL succeed.

ledge cancelling is a universal AT...I'm pretty sure it's in all 3 smash games. If people haven't learned how to do that/how it works...well, they have some catching up to do.

I have actually had a lot of good Wolf practice. Played Ishy a bunch of times at Apex last year and then a bunch at WABA. Also played McPeePants a bunch at WHOBO on the bus. And at WABA also.
Only issue I am having whenever playing people is polishing my own style of play and trying not to get angry and just throwing it all away with stupid things. Though I have been looking for this fricken wolf match but keep getting dodged away from it...
Personally I don't care much now...

 

[JMan8891]

I was talking with MegaRobMan about the MU last night. He has LOTS of Sonic practice because Trent used to play him all the time. So when I finally went to NE, my sonic is a little different/has some better fundamentals behind it, but tricksies for gimping and the general MUs were totally exposed, and I'd never fought a wolf main before....

IMO, if Sonic gets an early % lead, it needs to be a hit and run/punish as hard and safe as possible game. Go for and land any and all gimp opportunities. If you get behind, you lose. Wolf's close range game poops all over Sonic's. He has priority, range, and kill power over us. Shine is good too when you are being too direct and read like a bedtime story.

Never beat MegaRobMan's wolf, played it maybe 4 times total now. Every first stock goes fairly even. Then he lands a kill. I've then lost horribly as im forced to take a more offensive playstyle, and he can play safe and punish hard. Its essentially a war of attrition that favors wolf. Stay ahead, and stay alive, imo.

That's the MU methinks....

How do you play brawl on a bus o_o

 

[da K.I.D.]

Portable screens my dude. They been around since the ps1

 

[Tesh]

How do you play brawl on a bus o_o

megabus is unholy amazing. its very comfy and there are tables on the bus, so it can happen. there was a tournament on the bus too

 

[Espy Rose]

Jman, it's actually the mid-range game that Wolf excels at vs. Sonic.
Close quarters, they're about even.

 

[B_AWAL]

Wolfs hurt boxs r stupid. learned that when I played Kain.

 

[JMan8891]

@Espy? Please explain. I admit im woefully inexperienced at the MU. I always felt in CQ the range, speed, priority went to wolf. Dangerously, eating % you shouldn't be, so.

Bair to Blaster range is where Sonic loses. You have to combat Wolf's air footsies with Sonic's ground footsies. It's not really that hard if you play at a slower defensive pace.

my eyes...... they are bleeding from one of the comments from that page.

 

[True Blue]

Lol that was too funny. "Sonic don't tell me what to do!" kinda saw rouge stealing it at the end lol

 

[Zatchiel]

Shoutout to ****ing Tenki and his sexy *** bringing that Steak rep to a tourney I attended today. Haven't seen him in forever, and his Sonic is still the ****. That '09, unforgettable, holy ****. Saw that work he was putting in, we were expecting to meet each other in WFs, would have been some spectacle. Great seeing him again, as well as the aforementioned molestation that is his Sonic.

<3

 

[JMan8891]

I thought Tenki went into retirement... good ****

 

[NH Cody]

my CPU sonic just did a spinshot.

LOL

 

[kid craft 24/sonic master]

my cpu sonic knows how to edgehog, spin dash footstool to dair, and tech dthrow. and spinshoot

 

[TheAwesomefroggy]

my falco did 2 d-throws in a row once, and my sonic may have done a spinshot...

 

[True Blue]

My cpu's know how to grab snake out of cypher.

 

[B_AWAL]

Wait... tenkI is back???

 

[TheAwesomefroggy]

right after apex... lol. is he good enough to have made it out of pools?

 

[JMan8891]

I remember tenki doing well locally (wherever that was) but don't think he was ever a beacon of Sonic's exploits. One could look at the results thread and see. He was damn good with theorycrafting and was the All-Father of the spin

 

[TheAwesomefroggy]

do you think he'd be good enough for the next apex if he practices enough? though he though he probably already did that...

 

[Zatchiel]

right after apex... lol. is he good enough to have made it out of pools?

He tied in 5th with a Pit main, but the moment I saw him in action, I was all like, "****ING TENKI, MAN." I didn't get to play him at all, ironically, moments into the tournament we we both getting hyped about the possibility of a Sonic vs Ike MU in the brackets. I went straight Ike, he went straight Sonic.

As for him being "back", this is the first time I've seen him in a pretty long time, probably well over a year. I only really used to see him at the on campus tournaments, and he did work in those too. So I'm guessing he just competes at the college when he can, since they host Brawl tournaments rather frequently, apparently, sometimes on free entry (as the one this past Saturday was). Wish I had means of getting out there more.

 

[da K.I.D.]

Tenki goes to tournaments casually.

Hes one of the few people that knows as much about the character as me or espy. But he was never a super star stellar player. He was one of the first good sonic players and he contributed a lot to the characters metagame. But ifhe went to apex, he wouldn't place any better than the other sonics.

 

[TheAwesomefroggy]

im the only one still learning/finding new stuff for the character.

that knows as much about the character as me or espy.

heh ?

 

[Espy Rose]

Tenki was the one who discovered spin dash shield cancels.

 

[Kupo Rose]

I still remember Tenki requesting this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83R6iB7mVLI

 

[SoupaSonic]

I remember watching Kojin Sagura videos to learn about Sonic stuff, and when KID talked about that whole footstool jab lock thing on ROB. Idk if it works on anyone else that's just the one I remember being super legit. Plus I remember when you guys were researching the dthrow on the side of the stage thing on Lucario. What ended up happening with that?

 

[Espy Rose]

I wish my jab lock thread got stickied. I really do.

 

[da K.I.D.]

Footstool nair jablock works on ddd and bowser and olimar,but its a lot harder than rob.

 

[kid craft 24/sonic master]

that Dthrow thing also works on D3 just felt like pointing that out incase someone didn't know.

 

[Espy Rose]

It only works on Lucario if they DI in a specific way.
The dthrow stagespike on Battlefield, I mean.

 

[Tenki]

do you think he'd be good enough for the next apex if he practices enough? though he though he probably already did that...

I went into the tournament cold - haven't played vanilla Brawl since Momocon last year. Outside of that, since a working TV hasn't been part of my life for a while, the only other times I've played Brawl were random Brawl Minus games with a friend who visited town once every few months.

As for him being "back", this is the first time I've seen him in a pretty long time, probably well over a year. I only really used to see him at the on campus tournaments, and he did work in those too. So I'm guessing he just competes at the college when he can, since they host Brawl tournaments rather frequently, apparently, sometimes on free entry (as the one this past Saturday was). Wish I had means of getting out there more.

I graduated (so I don't live on-campus anymore) and work has kept me busy @_@
Just happened to be near the campus and since it was free parking/entry, figured I'd drop by

It was fun.

Also, I don't think I ran into you in on-campus tourneys (though, I used to crash local dorm tourneys all the time - met 4GOD that way haha), but I did play at WABA a few times.

[Espy Rose]

What the hell? Why is your signature that post?

 

[Kuraudo]

I think I need to take some time to really evaluate myself as a player. I know I'm good, but I let my past accomplishments, smaller as they were, get in the way and my expectations were not met in the process.

This isn't about my pride as a Sonic player and being recognized for such. For me, I think I need to look at myself as a player, and don't think of who else makes it out or not when the going gets tough.

Whether that means I stay with Sonic or not, I'm not sure. Knowing me I'll stick to what I know best and just keep on fighting with Sonic.

I thought I was ready for APEX, and I almost was. I just need to discover what's holding me back and unlock that. Once I've done that... I'm not sure where it'll take me. I want to come back to APEX, go to the next Genesis, but I may have to hold off on all of that until I know for sure I've hit the next level.

I still wanna be the level of player that people like X and Espy have gotten to, but like all of us, there's still a lot to learn.

 

[Kupo Rose]

The level between X and Espy is huge though Keep at it Cloud. Your time to shine will come.
