Yeah, you can still use the "A" button.You don't lose spinshot.
I've been labbing, and I think I have figured out why this is: Apparently, a few stages* actually do have some kind of bug that doesn't allow running Up-smashes to slide. This also happens with other characters too, notably Mewtwo. I can confirm this for the 3DS version, but idk if this happens on Wii U. Can someone look into it pls?
Heh, turns out its a thing.
Landing is not one of Sonic's strong suits. Mix up between spin dash/charge, shield cancelled spin dash, Nair, regular landing into shield/roll, and spring jump into down air. If you keep using the same one, you'll get punished, but if you can get a handle on their punish habits, you can usually use Sonic's fast air and falling speed to get around them
Learn something new everyday.
I can see what you mean, but I'm not sure exactly what kind of answer you are expecting. Seamless fluidity comes from experience with the character. The more you play the more comfortable you'll get. One thing I did notice though, from that video you linked, was your approaches tended to be quite linear and straight-forward. I feel a lot of the apparent fluidity of high level Sonics comes from them constantly opting for new and interesting mixups in both offense and defense. When you go for the same options every time, and especially if you simply just rush in and spin dash without any movement mixups, your opponent can easily adapt and punish you, making you feel rigid and stiff.
Ok. I see what you mean! Thanks!
The timing is very strict:

Hmm, I've had more success turning around AFTER pressing B. Maybe its just the timing?The timing is very strict:
Don't know if this is correct but this is how I hit it. At the same time I could be referring to the wrong thing.
What I posted was the turnaround version I believe. I've never performed the B-Reversed version of this (talk about the blind leading the blind) but in theory is just like any other B-Reverse which requires us to press B first.
With how I do it I've noticed that our DD comes off of our running skid. Here's how I learned it: Run one way first and then back the other way. Make sure you're getting the skid. Then start adding the dash-dance inputs:

Yea im pretty sure you can and as of my knowledge it hasn't been asked yet
Rather certain it's not.
It can home in on hitstun (personally don't recommend for combos as it misses most of the time, or at least in my experience), but not invincibility. It can be annoying af if your opponent knows this, because they can literally gimp your homing attack with a well-timed sidestep or ledgegrab and send you falling to your death...
thank you, saw you on Jtails Sonic guideRather certain it's not.
Also, use the "Edit" feature instead of double posting. I merged them this time but for the future, don't do that.
An AT that you really need to learn is the Spinshot, which can help with recovery or an approach mixup. There's a video on it by Camalange in the OP, along with some other tech videos. Some top players you should watch are 6WX, Supergirl Kels, Seagull Joe, and Komorikiri.
thanks. been putting that sonic work in!
Yes, I was just thinking of adding this. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

Mhm. This ****s me up all the time.
1. There isn't a best. Try not to be predictable and switch up directions to where you will land. Sometimes failing down past the ledge then using spring is the safest thing to do.
Thanks!
Would you say aggressive sonic is the best way to play sonic?Don't listen to ZeRo.
