Many have complained about Sonics lack of kill moves. So have I while deciding whether to make him or snake my main. Upon playing everyday for at least 3 hours a day (at school we have a smash club lol) i have discovered that Sonic is equipped with more than one kill shot as long as the enemy is at about 70 damage and you can do the moves properly.
The problem is people what a sonic kill shot that is just a quick flick of the c-stick. The Fsmash works for that but it is not my favorite. Before I explain some of his killing moves i want so say that with Sonic, have no fear, if someone is at zero and you are above 70 go in and combo the crap out of them. Sonic is floaty so just DI and tech your way back onto the map.
Now for a few of my favorite killing moves.
Grabs:
To Grab out of a full speed sprint its like half a second before you get to the guy. I use LA to grab so i dont even have to move my hands and slow down. my friends complain that i can grab them while their doing their moves. Practice makes perfect.
Grab Back throw.
I have never really tested the percentage but with Sonic running and grabbing is a godsend if someone is close to the edge of a map with above 100 the grab back throw (where he rolls and throws them) will usually kill them for me (more so if it is someone with bad recovery). If they dont die then your set up for a edgeguard or a Fair while they try to recovery.
The up throw can also set up more kill shots, Sonics air game is where he is best at, grab somone up throw, uair- if that does not do it then they should be off the top of the screen and just go up and use fair or another uair that is almost a guaranteed killed even if you started the combo at like 60% Since Sonic jumps so high he can kill people while they are not even visible ( my favorite way to kill)
Utilt
Probaly another one of my favorite moves the double kick. It looks cool and it can KO certain characters at around 100 and above damage. If they dont die it sets you up for more air games
For the annoying person that wont die no matter how much damage they have.
WE all know these people, their damage goes to around 160 and they just keep coming back its the most annoying thing in the world but a simple homing attack will fix that once that damage is over 150. i find that jumping above where you think they will land works perfectly because it covers their whole flight path to that spot.
AND my favorite: The curry, taunt, beat the crap out of anyone.
I discovered this one day while fighting two friends. I combo ike off the stage and its just me and lucas and he has about 50% less than i do but i start taunting "your too slow!" he runs toward me and curry drops on a platform i go over and get it and keep up with him. NO CHARACTER CAN GET AWAY FROM SONIC WITH CURRY!! He is just too fast. So i completely stop and he gets trapped in the flames and i start taunting while the curry is pumping his % up ROFL. One Utilt and lucas flies, sonic wins. DANG my best win ever.
Well thats about it for me, keep in mind that thats my first ever long post so tell me what yall think.
