Personally, I find Sonics complexity to play one of his best and strongest aspects. Its the reason playing as him is so much fun, because he has many advanced techniques that take lots of developing, but the payoff is worth it! Sonic is the most advanced character I've ever played with in Smash Bros history and that really feels good. Thats why I laugh when people call Sonic cheap, because I know if they played Sonic, I could counter it because when you main a character, you quickly get a feel for their strengths and weaknesses.

Run. Just run. Don't look back. I'll hold them off

:064: *creates an energy field*

A lot of people no longer consider Sonic as a cheap character these days. Infact, Sonic has a huge variety of techs. Being 'cheap' with Sonic will not get you anywhere at high level play

Still, it's satisfying to win with him :p

Only scrubs call Sonic cheap :>

Good or decent people/Elitists think Sonic sucks, and they're right. None of them are right about the reasons though, they're all clueless berks on that count D;

I remember when I won my school's video game night a couple months back...

Some kid sayed Sonic was overpowered.

I Sonic punched him.

Only ignorant scrubs think Sonic is cheap. But, I'm pretty sure Sagen doesn't truely believe he's cheap, he was referring to the others who still say that (which sadly there are).

It's funny, people at high level are all like "y do u use sawnik!??! he sucks lololol"
And people at low level play are all like "I HATE SAWNIK!! HE'S SO GOOD AND SO FRICKEN CHEEP!!1!"

Ya just never win.

If none of their reasons are right, then they need new arguments before anyone listens...
We just listen and face-palm. Then me and one or two others argue, and get ignored simply because of the character we main (because obviously low tier users have low intelligence :>), and because of the individuals in our group that give us a bad image, so just because a few people spam the boards means all of us are like that on here, obviously.

On topic, it's really only side/down B that are complex. I think we've figured everything else out with Sonic, except the spins, there's waaay too much depth to them.

I'm not very technical anyway, all I do is grab and u/dtilt :3

If someone I play offline thinks Sonic is cheap, I tell them to go play Metaknight.

But they usually fall for simple traps and end up getting groped to death so it kind of bolsters their opinion.

But they usually still think Sonic is cheap because my MK isn't all that great. They still feel that MK is more balanced that Sonic is.

Fix'd for meh.

I tried to show my friend how good Metaknight is, and I only 2 stocked him instead of 3 stocking him.

Change your character profile to MK when argueing, they'll listen.

If you REPORT the thread, there's a higher chance of us getting infractions, rather than just letting it go unnoticed, and slip away to the next page...

Tenki's playlvl is obviously over 9000 if he grab-*****-owns so hard

Quite effective playstyle. I srly ownd one of NC best Ike's in a friendly post tourney with feints and grabs. 194% to my 0% in about 2 mins. I learnd'd it from Tenki, xD

lmao

Tenki = grandaddy Sonic.

He's had Sonic babies and doesn't even remember :(

but where's our mommy!!?

Anyway, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that Sonic's a very technical character with a lot of difficult, intricate details required to master!!

For example, [this post]....

I don't remember teaching you guys.

@___@




....
...?


I HAVE CHILDREN I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT! ?

:O
Yes... yes you do....

I however meant i watched what u was a'doin in ur wifi match vs Ike. Tricksies, set-ups, ect. Worked quite well.

And as for feints: sh, spin cancels, delayed cancels, Spinshot, spinshot sideB momentum stopage, ACS cancels, ASC mid distance continuations (idea from Tenki, xD, decided to fiddle with it a bit), dash dance, and waffling (what we have been calling doop walking at my weekly tourney, the TO called it that, and has it down so good, its hillarious.)

Let this die or I'm reporting it. If it carries on, when a mod spots it you'll all get infractions and get banned again D;
