Sonic's stolen moves

[Giga Hand]

Other than the Spin Dash and related moves that make up half of Sonic's moveset and his Spring Jump, almost all of his moves have animations that match that of another member of the cast.

Fsmash=DK's Giant punch
Utilt=C. Falcon's Usmash
Dtilt=C. Falcon's Dtilt
Fair=Pikachu's Fair
Bair=Samus' Bair
Dair=C. Falcon's Falcon kick
AAA Combo=Mario's AAA combo (sorta)

Anyone else notice this? And forgive me if I'm trolling.

 

[Catfish_Mike]

His up-air is Wolf's up-smash.

He still rocks.

 

[thecatinthehat]

His Fair and Bair are better than the originals, and I think his Utilt does more damage than Falcon's usmash.

 

[R4ZE]

i think sonic is really the ultimate combination of all these moves + rediculous speed.


haha.

SONIC ARE TEH ULTIMATE WARRIORRRRR

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

His up-air is Wolf's up-smash.

He still rocks.

you get sonic before wolf.... wolf stole sonic's

 

[Giga Hand]

Brawl newcomers don't really count...

Also, tell me if I missed one, could ya? I don't really know what his Ftilt looks like...

 

[Dragonbreath]

Well...Wolf's a total ******* who stole Falco's Arwing and pawned it to buy a pimped-out landmaster. He also stole Peach's Dsmash and Mario's DownB, but no one knows where he's hiding them. So yeah, no surprise here.

Wavedashing, however, was stolen by Wario. Who promptly ate it.

EDIT

His Ftilt is a horse kick. It's kind of hard to explain, but it was one of his moves in Sonic the Fighters.

You can say this about plenty of people, really. I'm sure others have moves like these. Especially down air (Sheik, Zero Suit Samus)

I always thought of down air as a variation of Shadow's air attack in Sonic Battle (he rose up before zooming down). And I thought he also had a windup punch in Sonic the Fighters, though my memory is hazy.

 

[smashbot226]

Sonic's A combo = Ness' A combo.

Same thing with Pokemon Trainer.


Charizard's:

B = Bowser B.

B^: Wario B^.

B>: Kirby B>.

Squirtle's:

B: Mario BV.

B^: Mario's B^.

B>: Yoshi's B>.

Ivysaur's:

B^: Olimar's B^.

B>: Link's B>.

I always thought Sonic's AAA came from a three hit combo in Sonic the fighters since thats exactly how he does the kick in that game.

As for the other moves... Yeah I have to agree alot of them look similar, except his dair looking like his air kick in Sonic battle.

Edit: Missed your post Tristan, yeah he does have a wind up punch in Sonic the fighters as well..

 

[Zevox]

Almost every character has some overlap with others in their standard attacks. Neutral A combos and Nairs are similar among many characters, for instance. Captain Falcon and Samus have the same dash attack. Sheik, Sonic, and ZSS all have the same dair. Ike has Link's dair (except that his is a single thrust rather than a continuous one), d-tilt, and old fsmash (from the N64 game). There are just only so many ways to throw a punch, or kick, or attack with another part of your body or a weapon. Its unavoidable.

Waste of internet space.

I love this game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdBoUj2Pv7k 5:12 Sonic's fair

We shall call Sonic and Charizard Hyperclones, as they mishmash a bunch of different movesets from different characters.
Hyperclones for high tier.

 

[Sonic on the Rocks]

lol hyperclones...

Anyway, as Zevox said, you can only use your weapons in certain amount of ways. You'll notice that Ike's Aether is similar to Kirby's Up-b, but with small diferences.

Charizard steals moves? His uptilt and upsmash seem pretty unique to me.

 

[listentomook]

I'm pretty sure sonic was a last second addition to the brawl. You can tell by the fact that obviously yes he does have alot of borrowed moves...but so do alot of other characters. I don't really think the programmers spent that much time on sonic, you can tell by the lack of detail and meticulous care they put into his moveset and character.

 

[RenegadeRaven]

Yeah, I noticed this aswell, he could have been WAY more classic and even more badass.

 

[Attractive Penguin]

Yes, but his down smash (?) is a copy of Bowser's.
Hyperclones need not have all their moves stolen from others. That'd make them cloneyclones.

 

[LarkOhiya]

Anyone who thinks they just plopped some generic moves on sonic don't know where they got sonics moves FROM. If you watch the moves demo for sonic the fighters posted on the first page you can see that most of sonics A moves are taken directly from there.

DownA, up air, back air, and some throws are the only moves that sonic out right did not also use in Sonic the fighers.

Upsmash downsmash and Nair are very sonic in nature although he didn't use them in Sonic the figter exactly the same.


His B moves are pretty iconic of sonic in general. The only exception is the double up of his spin dash, but the move differs enough so that you can do the same move but have slightly different timing so as to throw off your target and use it slightly different.
