I know it'll be a while before the tier list is made, but i just wanted to know your opinion on where Sonic would land on the tier list. High, Mid, Low... GOD even??

ChiboSempai said:dsmash barely has killing potential, but its still la good move. his fsmash has tons of knockback and probably his best killing move. i cant really see his dair getting a lot of kills unless the opponent is at like 170% or higher. His usmash doesn't really kill, but its a great move that does good damage and has high priority. overall though, sonics moves have decent knockback so its not like hes left with nothing like mario in melee (except with a sweetspotted fsmash), and he combos well for edgeuarding.
The magicalKuja said:It's tough actually landing blows but a few are surprising in how they hurt (fair, dair, the down smash) his up smash can't kill anything from what I played, but the f smash and down smash can get the job done. I find his homing attack surprisingly effective in starting up another hit or two, but I never managed to kill with it.
Not really...they have moves that can counter sonic..ikes side special can be used to move around faster and with techs he can be fast...but yea any slow character will have trouble against a fast one...but thats common.The only thing I do actually worry about matchup wise is a character with range and quick kill moves, I have a friend who is gonna main Ike/Marth and I think that is gonna be a nightmare...O.o
Against quick kill characters (i.e. Ike) and characters who get strogner with more dmg (Lucario) Sonic may ahve a problem. Another problem (and yet his biggest plus) is his speed. He's really hard to control. Dash Cancelling (if possible in Brawl) will be difficult, just because he moves SO FAST. So, in inexperienced areas (rec, locals, etc) Sonic might be seen (by the so-called "Pros" at the area) as a lame character, and probably only played by fanboys/no0bs.The only thing I do actually worry about matchup wise is a character with range and quick kill moves, I have a friend who is gonna main Ike/Marth and I think that is gonna be a nightmare...O.o
...sigh I can't believe I'm still hearing this. Sonic's not looking as good as I'd thought he'd be.WTH, Brawl isn't out in the USA yet and already your talking about a stupid tier list? Tier List are useless.
It's not the character you choose, it's how you play the character.
omg you **** my friend......and sonic is just sexy in general...but those lucky vids make sonic look sexy!
lol you **** tooI've been watching a lot of Lucky videos as well...currently, he's the best sonic player out there posting...I think sonic has a good amount of potential...
Right on. You know my best character is the Bottom Tier Bowser.from what i've heard, sonic blows. don't get me wrong though, i really hope he's not as bad as they say, and it's really too early to say, cuz sometime or another, someone's going to figure out how to do something with sonic effectively. i plan on maining him anyways, regardless of how bad he might be
People don't make tiers, they just compile them. The fact that some characters will be better or worse than others is a basic fact of any game in which characters have different abilities - perfect balance is impossible without making everyone the same. The best you can hope for is that the game is balanced enough that the tiers have minimal effect on the game. Truth be told, as games go, Melee was pretty darn good in that regard. Short of the professional scene, tiers really didn't make much of a difference; it was only at top-level play that it became a fairly big deal. With any luck, Brawl will be like that too, or perhaps better if the development team did really well.tiers suck i hope people are smart enough not to ruin the game by making them
