Sorry if this is the wrong place - please merge it into another thread if I was supposed to put this in one.
anyway, basically I'm having trouble even approaching Sonic. By the time I'm getting anywhere near close enough to land a hit, he's already dashing off to the other side of the stage, or dash-grabbing me, or whatever. I don't think I've beaten a single one yet online (admittedly online lag and the fact I can't stand the damn hedgehog don't help [he just rubs me the wrong way ], but still), and having my arse handed to me every time isn't teaching me anything (or at least, not that I'm noticing). Does anyone have any tips for getting the better of him?
