The problem with that is that it's hard to have a community thread when one person has to start and maintain it. Especially with something as ambitious as a guide. Don't forget that everyone plays Sonic differently.

So what do you guys think of a Sonic community guide? Where we pool in all our knowledge into one guide with a 'learn the basics' in the begin. Presented in a attractive design pictures and all. With an attention grabbing title.

So...
It's good but will it reduce double threads, and Spam.

...isn't that the whole PURPOSE of creating a community thread, although it would take so much work?!

On a seperate note:

Even though I haven't had much feedback on my Moveset Discussion, after I've been through all the moves (they'll be going at a faster pace from now) I plan to do this basically :

Aerial Bowser

Grounded Bowser

Aggressive Bowser

Defensive Bowser.

And write about what moves should be used, and what moves should be avoided in each circumstance, but for every character. Nothing extensive, just a paragraph or so for each little sub-category.
I'll handle that by myself though.
Sound like a good idea or am I being an ***?

If my thread will hurry up and get stickied we can chuck it underneath each discussion perhaps (and credit you ofcourse ROOOY!). That way we have even more complete info about other characters?

Also just a note to Chis:

I think that perhaps you have gone "Thread-Happy" of late. I've been here about the same time as you and I run a matchup thread which means I have to make the odd thread now and again in other peoples boards... I have made 21 threads...
You have made 58... not sure whether that's significant but just make sure each time you make one that it is entirely necessary before continuing to do so.

You mean use the info out of my thread once I've done it and stick it yours?

NO IT'S MINE ALL MINE! GTFO! >=O

Nah I'm only joking, I was thinking the same thing, seems a pretty clever thing to do.

Why don't you think it'd be a good idea, Chis?

Because I've seen similar threads fail and also people have different styles.

Off topic, what does it say on my icon? Offline?

What I mean is how to combat these different playstyles.
Like, against an aerial Peach for example, you're not going to rush her with aerials because you'll get beat down.
I'm aiming to write the safest options. We can do all the AT work we want with crazy pivoted things and fancy stuff, but what I think we really need to do is work on making Sonic safe, but still good at pressuring.
It's basically knowing your options, it's not : "You must conform to this style because I say so"

And Chis, it says your offline. It has done for about the past week or so without fail.

I like the idea of this thread, however I can imagine it would take an extremely long time to cover each character+playstyles+Sonic playstyle, but it seems like it could be worthwhile.

True..but the last response was only a couple of days ago and it was last edited only a week ago, not even...
Its not that old though...

It only just started up so its hard to say that its really failed to be honest. It's not even two weeks old and it has 5 pages, that isn't horrible.

It's obviously not going to suddenly appear as a cavalcade of information.
It's going to be a working progress. And it's not like it's open ended or directionless either. I'm going through the characters in order, covering 4 different playstyles for each.
At like a paragraph for each bit, it's only going to be 100ish paragraphs.
I can have everything done by Christmas.
Mostly threads that take ages fail because the person who made the thread got bored of the character and went off to main someone else. I've mained Sonic since day one and I don't even have a secondary.
Aside all that, I finish stuff that I start.

Rofl at that list :laugh:

I'm happy with my placement. I think my bad match ups really let me down, especially vs Tenki and Boxob. Tenki has that stupid avatar/character change move that constantly gimps my recovery and Boxob can outprioritize every I say. Not mention I die at early percents, making that Boxbair of his even more dangerous. ROOOY deserves a mention as well...Splash has such deceptive range. I thought I was fairly even with catinthehat but now we don't have the same avatar, I'm starting to think it's his advantage. I guess I'm at a disadvantage vs all the others above me aswell


Moving onto something a bit more serious...how do you like your steak? I'm being deadly serious. I personally prefer mine medium. I'm not a big fan of blood so I don't have it rare but I prefer my steak to be tender so I cook it just so it's medium. Well done is a bit too cooked for my liking

like, apparently, Boxob has a weakness to black people.
everyone seems to be disadvantaged to KASR+steak except for Umby, who has resistance to steak, so he has an advantage.
and SonicX580 has a supreme advantage over me, to be the first person to, over time, not get nice calm responses from me. And my attacks/attempts to help are like, little effect or are nullified by Confusion.
I guess, on my end, my EVA is higher because he has very low ACC/INT/SPD, because sometimes he can't see my attacks.
But overall, yeah, I'm disadvantaged.

I'm at least 35:65 against Tenki :/
Other than that, I don't think I have any notable REALLY bad match-ups, other than KASR.

A bit off topic, when will that Wifi ladder thing be made?

Match ups?

I have no bad match ups, I'm Metaknight! Muhahaha!

Ahem, I'm really an enigma.
