Sonic Reverse

[CRASHiC]

If you played against a sonic user before, you know that much of their strategies revolve around the upB combo moves since they can still attack afterward. Well, today, I found out that Yoshi has a rather useful counter against this.

By simply ground pounding on Sonic as he tries to spring jump, you will spring back up and be able to ground pound back down fast enough to get two or three more ground pound's in. I personally thought it was very useful and helped me win the match.

Get two or three more ground pounds in on what? Sonic? Because you won't hit him with more than one unless he actually tries, the knockback will send him away -.-
This is besides the point that aerial groundpound is fairly worthless

totally agree... aerial groundpound is only for ledgegrabbing and catching people off guard, not spamming it on a spring, screaming "You're too Slow!!!" at the top of your lungs.... that's when the sonic player has taunted at least once. XD

Just about every character in the game has a "stall on springs" attack O.o

Thing about that is that any tactic like that is useless.... (except against... people who suck I guess)

I suppose it could serve as an edgeguard against someone recovering high...but then again how would the spring still be there in that case lol. Maybe in teams. =P

Oh, for a second, I thought you meant spring camping your landings (like, placing a spring under you as you're landing somewhere, then preparing an attack for your bounce), and I was wondering why you'd try to 'stall' on a spring, since I could just say, time it so you 'stall' when the spring disappears then B-air you in the back of the head during landing lag.


But I think what you're talking about is a 'launch high > spring > aerial', yes?


using down-B a valid way to kill a Sonic who's spring happy.










...If the Sonic sucks at spacing and doesn't outprioritize your down-B with U-air.

I guess it could work on wifi though.
