jw, since you guys are all familiar with Sonic's moves/strategies, etc
when you play against Sonic, do his feints and cancels have any effect at all?
I noticed that I tend to not use cancels and fakeouts in Sonic dittos, and I'm wondering if there's any point to it.

I think a lot of "fake outs" and "cancels" are absolutely idiotic and pointless. Although, since a lot of them do not directly result in getting punished plenty of people do them anyways just for the hell of it.
Like, it's hard to imagine a negative outcome from shield canceling your side-b, but I really don't see much of a point to it.
A fake out with down-b is also a popular thing amongst some Sonic mains and I've never seen it help anything.

Well, careless cancelling doesn't do much for mindgames, like spamming SH ASC cancels as seen in Ophelia's 'return to Sonic' video vs the cpu Falco. At the most, all I can think of is "uhh.. when is he finally going to attack? OH here he comes now. lemme shield it"
I mean, for example, sometimes, I'll run full dash at a Pikachu then do a sudden momentum cancel with side-B. They tend to D-smash, shield, spotdodge, or roll- all timed assuming that I'll actually go through them.
Also, after doing some instant-cancelled side-B's, I noticed that I tend to do a charged down-B for an actual attack afterwards, so I'd mix it up sometimes with a 1-second-charged side-B cancel into a dash or something. I mean for SH-aerial fighters, it could get them to start their jump early and get them off-rhythm.
The predictable ASC cancel in and of itself usually baits a shieldgrab, does it not?
So... baiting reflexive or defensive moves: does it tend to work against Sonic mainers?
