Well, the longest one goes from the very edge of FD to the far corner of the middle diamond. Dunno if you're doing it shorter than that or not, as I consider that the only really applicable one.

Using the jump button can take you that far. I shouldn't have mentioned distance, you guys can figure it out for yourselves and I'm just making things needlessly complicated by bringing it up.

who was this directed to.
Slingshot sounds poo,
now spinshot sounds more appealing. Shot in itself is one syllable and its powerful.
Jumpshot -shotJump
poo-fling!
and come on dont forget about my loser arse, i've been messing around tryin to get that jump down till orochi put it up on vid and then me n twinkle put up some info in the sonic tech thread. Tell ya, no respect nyuk-nyuk-nyuk.

I was talking to Zeal but whatever. I ultimately don't care who gets credited with the "discovery" just so long as other Sonic players hear about it and help make corrections to faulty assumptions. You definitely helped point out that the down-b didn't need to be charged as much and Zeal was right to say that the timing was key.
And naming is just for convenience. I guess I just want a name everyone likes so it gets used faster. It's confusing for people to keep saying "spin jump glitch thing" and it takes too long to type that out all the time.

I like spinshot. SS is a cute abbreviation, too. =D
No one person discovered it, I dun think. We all kinda stumbled upon it at the same time.

Yeah.... I'm flattered, but this isn't that kind of relationship.
EDIT: Spin shot it is. From now on anyone that calls it otherwise shall be smote.

Sorry, guy. You must be at least this tall to ride the ride.
And female.
Actually, forget the height thing, you just have to be an attractive female.

But I has told everyone. D: D: D: D: D:
Just like Bowser's. Sonic can also use the vB, but it's more difficult, and always sends you forward.
Btw, 20+ matches on WiFi with my Sonic, and not one loss yet. Everyone I've played thus far has been on the boards. Wooooo.
(however, I refuse to play MikeZor or Timotee on WiFi with Sonic until I lose. XD)

Do you have replay's that we could watch Zeal? I'm really interested in seeing some of your matches as I'm getting more and more frustrated with not being able to KO people

Knocking people out with Sonic has gotten WAY easier after playing for a few days.

An example of how to would be awesome... The only way I can usually get killed without chasing to the edge which is avoidable on their part.. and gimping which isn't always successful...
If you can provide a concrete kill move for me that doesn't need 180% to work please let me know :D

@ whoever can do this: So this can be done with the jump button, instead of the control stick? I find Sonic to be alot easier witht the tap jump off.
@zeal: 20 matches, FFA, With Anyone, 2 losses. I really want to play you, Sonic dittos, but I live in NY. A bit too far, no?
@tadpole: you could always chase off the top of the screen.

Allright guys. Omni finally put all my glitch data into one video... he put my sonic glitch at the end at 9:40 so you guys who haven't seen it yet now can...
... sorry guys... by the time we started making it, a name wasn't decided so we just called it spin jump.... sorry. maybe you can get your other name to stick if you press it hard enough...
anyway... here's the link the the vid:

I think it'd be best not to put "spin" in any Sonic-related techniques. He has enough spin as it is already.

Practiced it for around an 2 hours. I can perform it with a success rate of around 2/5.
Takes alot of practice. Maybe even more than what the waveshine needed.
As for names, "spin-shot" sounds more appealing than "spin jump" IMO.

Personally, short hop > down-b >instant JC with no charge is waaaay more useful than the side b method I mentioned earlier, in my opinion.
Catinthehat, we could do a few intro matches v my Zelda, then, if we don't lag at all, we can try my Sonic. That's how I normally do it, anyway. XD
Tadpole, fsmash and bair are hella reliable. Air pivot back airs catch people off guard so often that it's kinda funny. Go waaaaaaay the hell out there to hit the enemy. They'll normally die. That's how Sonic rolls.
One thing to try, if they're at killing percent, don't focus on killing them. If you do that, you'll become predictable. Keep wracking up damage while looking for the perfect opportunity, and you'll do fine.

Fantastic, Skaz. Now go post that in the Marth forum where people will care.

Don't post it there. I don't want it to be harder to gimp him than it is already.

Hard to gimp but easy to kill :D
If you fight Pit and Metaknight enough you begin to think Marth in Brawl is really laggy.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but...
I've found that using the spin shot with >B is more practical. This is more than just a recovery tactic, it can be used to close the horizontal gap mid-air very easily. With that in mind, if I'm flying one direction and want to use the spin shot in the other direction, I simply use >B in that direction. You don't have that freedom with vB.
So that new viewers might be less confused when reading this, I thought I'd also point out that the only requirement for using this move is that you start a >B in the direction you want to shoot yourself, wait about 1 second, then let go of B and quickly hit A. You can also tap up on the control stick or use a jump of any kind in place of A.
