I am not posting this video for a second time to be a *******, but so I can point out specific times at which I do things that I don't see many other Sonic's doing, In an attempt to further the meta game of Sonic. JUST FOR YOU GUYS ;D

Just to get some basic info out of the way for any of you noobs who don't know me.
I know what I'm talking about.
I won't play you on wifi.
:093: Haunter is so sexy.

0:09 - Notice how he taunts, then I did the same taunt, except much better than him.
0:10 - Linking dash attack to other moves.
0:15 - Hyphen smash is good, use it.
0:26 - SideB Combos. They're flashy. ;D
0:27 - Notice that SL has 69 percent damage. This is an amazing technique that cause opponents of 13 years of age to burst out in laughter. Great mind games.
0:56 - Forcing an attack to always hit. If he jumped up, he would have gotten a bair, if he dropped down, a nair. In this case he rolled up and got a Fsmash.
1:00 - I jumped over his Ftilt. That's just bad ***.
1:23 - Unnecessary taunting.
1:34 - I don't think there's anything more intimidating than kicking someones spring. Do it whenever possible.
3:00 - Predicting your opponent. Lawl.
3: 42 - What I tried doing was going for a stage spike, because a good sonic knows that the initial frames of the uair can fling opponents behind him.
4:15 - More cool stuff. Do more cool stuff.
4:19 - The Rampaging Bair Grab. Yes I named it, use it, and be sure to use that name lol.
4:36 - I must say I honestly NEVER see anyone use jump out of side B.


Other notes:
Always pop balloons.
Perfect shield everything.
Rampaging bair grab.




Lol@posting the video to be an *******.

Pretty good sonic, I have noticed not many sonics hyphen smash even though its' great for a lot of things. Only things I think you could improve on is dtild to fair combos, and using ASC to cancel into shield grabs/rolls and jump attacks.

lol I miss when people thought he was bottom tier, under Falcon.


Part of it is because of his priority problems, which, even though in actual gameplay isn't too hard to get around, mindgames and staggered attacks don't have any room in tier discussion.

The other part is that people lack alot of Sonic matchup experience.

Aura Power: Thank you for not listing lucky.

SL: You know you like the domination.

Camalange: There's no wrong way to eat a rampaging bair grab.

Veil: I don't need tips, Sonic isn't in Melee ;D

Bah, I originally read this as "There's no way to eat a rampaging bair grab"

and I was going to say Wario disagrees.

now I'm confused.

Nice Sonic! I notice you don't use the homing attack to edgeguard though. While I am crappy at executing it, I have seen some great Sonic users (SonicOrochi comes to mind) use it with great success. Just something to keep in mind.

This thread is useful, and should be viewed by newcomers, as to introduce them to how some of the mechanics of our character work.
