I have to disagree with the sonic matchup. Mainly because I see several things that I would ahve to disagree with.
Sonic isn’t that hard. He is really fast on the ground, but his attacks are not very good.
Dtilt keeps Fox in it for at least 3 hits and is guaranteed to link up to his Utilt/Usmash at higher percents.
HIs Ftilt outranges a good amount of Fox's moves and is comparable to that of Marth's Fsmash.
Utilt has good priority and has a good number of setups
A jab combo is kinda meh since i've seen characters escape and actually jab me back before the kick.
His Fsmash also can be stutterstepped to increase its range to a great amount. He can easily smack you from beyond Marth's Fsmash range.
The Dsmash while slow outranges Fox's and will beat it out.
It also stays out for a good amount of time so it must be shielded sicne if its dodged then you'll get hit afterwards.
The Usmash can be DAC'ed and hyphen smashed a good distance. It also has disjointed boxes that will break a large amount of Sonic's moves.
Onto his aerial moves.
Uair is easily among the best ones out there. Has great range and breaks even Link, Tlinks, and G&W DAir.
Fair starts up quick;;y and has decent priority when started up.
The Nair has good priority when started but afterwards its crap.
Dair is poor but its used for surprise attacks.
Bair is somewhat slow but powerful and can break many moves not involving disjointed hitboxes.
It will be hard to keep up with him but your hits will do well and it will take a lot for him to kill you.
Agreed. But Sonic has a number of combos that create good amount of damage.
He can also kill Fox early with his Uair and can gimp Fox with his spring more easily.
Phantasm is more difficult, but Sonic is one of those few characters that can actually get to where Fox will appear even as Fox is in the middle of his phantasm, not only that but his spring can interrupt it as well.
Like Olimar, you may be overwhelmed by his general playstyle at first and lose(although not as badly as your first time against Olimar). He is very fast that it is really hard to hit him when your not used to it and he will be coming at you with attacks at every opening, but once you get used to the way he moves you can tear him up.
Not true, while you may know his moves he is far from being easily predicted.
he cna cancel his dash momentum.
his dash shield grab range is good.
He can cancel his spindash.
he can spinshot to go at aerial speeds beyond that of wario and yoshi.
He has a large amount of moves that set up for mindgames.
Patience is key here. He has no projectiles to stop you and you can spam yours as long as you’re not careless.
You can't spam at all with your blaster. He gets up to you far too quickly for it to be spammable.
Sonic is very weak so you can overpower him easily.
Correct he has little priority on most of his attacks so in direct combat Fox will in, however most of the time Sonic will be dancing out of Fox's range using his speed and many other moves.
A good Sonic will not attack you directly so you can't just overpower him.
You have about equal range, but you have a bit of an advantage on a few. His up-b is really good (but only vertically) and he can attack while coming down so be aware of it.
Sonic actually has better range to his attacks than Fox on several of his moves. But Fox has better attack speed.
^B is only part of his recovery.
Spinshotting (which is also good for approching) improves horizontal distance.
Not only that the ^B has dodge frames and Fairing/Bairing afterwards increases the horizontal movement afterwards.
Sonic is very slow in the air and his aerials are only moderate, so you can take care of him up there too.
Sonic is 6th in base speed aerially he is far from slow.
HIs aerial are indeed moderate but they are more easily setup than Fox's IMO.
Sonic is only the illusion of fast, so take him down with your real speed. 2.5/5
Its no illusion , I speak as a Sonic main and also as a persopn who uses fox as a secondary.
I am leaning more to neutral since Fox doesn't appear to have anything that would give sonic trouble.
If he does have an advantage I don't think its a major one.
Fox can't make use of canceling his lasers since sonic's spincharge and dash go under it (spindash actually causes the lasers to pass through it during the initial part of the hop)
so Fox really cannot let Sonic control the spacing.
Fox can pressure Sonic and can rack up damage very quickly, but it becomes an issue when playing a sonic that is defensive. Many since dash shield grabbing is an effective tool for Sonic and many of his tilts can be used after the dash attack to cover him in case he overshoots past the opponent or if he hits the opponent too late
I do admit that I have limited experience facing Fox users and I am far fro being good Fox user myself so apologies on anything incorrect I have said.
