so I don't know if anyone knew about this but I discovered a neat move with sonics starting running motion. Basically you nudge the cointroller to the right or left to start a running animation. Then you let go real quick so that sonic does nothing more than a skid.

From can jump into three attacks, forward smash, up smash, and his dash attack. The up smash doesn't get really any benefits from what I've seen but the forward smash and dash attack really get a boost in usefullness (which is good because the forward smash is one of the only things close tpo a killing attack for sonic).

The dash attack might be good for helping sonic's offense and mindgames because sonic cn go into an automatic forward dash with zero lag from standing still. And because Sonic dash goes a pretty far distanc it can be used to play with the oppnent or as a semi safe blow. The forward smash is somewhat different after the sonic skid in that the move is used to close in distance for this rather hitbox limited attack.

I've also discovered that if you use the skid and then tap the controller slight in the same direction sonic makes a stop sound which allows him to use all his attacks from the skid. However because of the nature of the move I've only foiund reverse smash forward attacks and dashes to be useful.

I don't have a camera or footage I can send through youtube but I can send brawl replay data. if you do the move in rpid excession, sonic should sound like he's galloping. If anyone has discovered this tech before I apologize. I hope this comes in handy.
