[ROOOOY!]

let me start by saying that sonic has no kill moves am i right?

Yeah...no.
Don't post stuff like this which is wrong, it just encourages others to do the same.
Read Tenki's "How To Kill" thread, which you can find through the stickied Thread Index Zone.
Hey, you might learn how to kill below 200%, you Faillord.

Fsmash, Dsmash, and Bair. They're not great, but they can kill if your smart. Sometimes a spring to Uair can kill too if your opponent can't react.



EDIT: Oh, and what ROOOY said.

oh i thought he had no kill moves because hes so weak

Oh, then I guess you're not smart.
just kidding.
But really, he's not as weak as people think he is.

 

[Tenki]

Also, quick question. Out of a spin dash jump attack (is it called Spin shot?) what's the best option to use? Homing Attack seems to missing quite a bit

1) that's not spinshot. Spinshot is the fast-travelling 'instant double jump' that you get if you jump immediately after releasing side-B or aerial down-B charge.

2) out of a spindash jump (the blue attack aura one), it all depends on you and your opponent's placement, really. N-air, F-air, U-air, B-air, D-air. `.`;

Most people will opt not to try hitting with the jump in the first place anyway - like if they hit with the grounded spindash roll, then they'll jump and immediately do an aerial before the SDJ gets a chance to hit them.


/kills chaos out of pent-up animosity for randoms who don't know wtf they're talking about.

Have fun. Read some of the stickied threads to gain some more knowledge on Sonic. I'm gonna toss out this weeks saying, "in order to be good with Sonic, you must be smart"

ok. and u have to have really good mingames

 

[Camalange]

Well, not necessarily "have really good mindgames" but more of knowing what to do and when to do it. I guess you say Sonic relies a lot on mindgames for victory, but it's not something you "have", it's something that becomes instinct.

and don't spam attacks am i right?

 

[ROOOOY!]

I can't think what of Sonic's you can actually spam.
And don't listen to people mate. People who say he's weak on the whole have no idea what they're talking about.
nair = 11%
bair = 13%
all smashes uncharged = 14%
utilt = 14%
ftilt = 11%

Doesn't sound too weak to me.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

If Sonic had a multihitter attack, you just know it would involve some kind of spindash.

Also, a big hello to all Sonic mainers out there. Names JDGreat. From the Lucario boards. Recently started to pick up Sonic so I may be hanging round here a bit more often. Hopefully, I can do the blue speed demon proud!

Also, quick question. Out of a spin dash jump attack (is it called Spin shot?) what's the best option to use? Homing Attack seems to missing quite a bit

So which aerial is best coming out of a spin dash jump?

Though I'm pretty sure it ain't DAir

Umm... we have pretty... strange terminology here. A spinshot is a long jump we get by using a spindash and jump canceling it during the initial stages.

It sounds like you mean a SDR (spin dash roll) to a SDJ(spin dash jump) Just rolling at them and jumping and following with an aerial. Fair does the most damage. Bair best for knockout and Uair to go for verticals. Dair is okay if you can get the semispike option since Sonic excels at offstage fighting.

I noz right?
Does ftilt really dish out 11% damage? I guess I haven't noticed, hah.

hes not weak idk why people think he is weak

 

[ROOOOY!]

Ftilt is two hit. Hit them with both (the opponent has to be fairly close though) and it does 11% overall.
Otherwise, the second hit just does 7%.

 

[neon..?]

i thought he was weak because i never saw someone kill with him.

EDIT: @ROOOY-
Two hits? I guess I never notice since I only use that at a distance to keep good spacing. Thanks for the info.

 

[neon..?]

wow that sonic is real good to beat sethlon.

 

[chaos_]

yeah sonic is a fast beast

 

[ROOOOY!]

Whilst obviously good, Mr 3000 doesn't really showcase what Sonic is actually capable of I feel.
He's just very good with the general gameplay, spacing, timing and the lark.

i think the best sonic player is lucky for now

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Lucky hasn't done anything in forever.....

what do you mean

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Has he been posting tournament results or videos? I haven't seen any in forever.

Granted I don't go out of my way LOOKING for them....

 

[chaos_]

i don't think he bothers posting tourney vids if he goes to any

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

I don't think he goes to any....


Like... he'll go randomly if Mango wants to. Then he'll pop in, get heaps of praise and leave for a month.

 

[Boxob]

Boxob.

Discuss.

 

[chaos_]

why post that boxob?

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Boxob is a cool guy. Eh rules the Sonic boards and doesn't afraid of anything.

However he also doesn't post tourney results. Still doing Melee Boxob?

 

[Tenki]

facenapalm at fanboyism and ignorant randoms.

 

[thecatinthehat]

Boxob is slowly becoming a narcissistic fiend. But with good reason.

 

[Boxob]

Boxob Melee's lots and lots, and was supposed to enter a tournament for both games on the 27th.

But Taco Bell is nothing without me, so I need to be there that day. -_-

Anyway. I think that the facepalm was because there was a legitimate conversation going on and in one post Boxob turned everything I said into a puddle of idioticy.

Alright Chaos, I've held it in, but I can't hold it no longer.

You're name is really pissing me off. That underscore after it is so fucking unnecessary.
