Great Sonic. I noticed though a few times you seem to use a dash grab instead of a dash shield grab.

I would like to see more use of the Nair and a bit more of the homing attack since there ere instances where it would have been appropriate. Otherwise great Sonic.

I'd like to see you fight some of Sonic's "bad" match-ups. I think you're Sonic is good, but to get a better idea of just how good I think I need to see you get pressured a bit more. The first two matches seemed especially easy for you.

I'm just your problem~
lol I can rarely fair against most of the shorter characters, so it just kinda dissolved from my game I guess. I'll work on that. Thanks for the input, guys.

I like it for shield stabbing larger opponents.
Really though, all of Sonic's aerials are practically designed to suck against short characters which is annoying as hell.
Fair's greatest strength though (I think) is it's decent priority which makes it great for chasing since you don't have to worry so much about getting counter attacked. But even for that (when your opponent was in the air) you rarely brought it out.

so i saw b-air cancel out an aura sphere today. also is it just me or does it seem to have 2 hitboxes. so often i will bair against a shielding opponent and it just goes right through it, but they dont take the full knockback, only the smaller type knockback (you know like with snakes bair, the first few frames have high knockback while the remaining have less)

browny, apparently Sonic does have two parts to his bair... but I don't think it's multi-hit. All I remember is that someone that was putting out a list of moves that could be smash DI'd listed the weaker hit of Sonic's bair as smash DI'able.

I just want t compliment the way u just randomly keep hitting side b and sheild cancel, and then at random times use SC... its brilliant and seems to really through your opponent off.

From first hand experience, your sonic is really something else.
Just need to step up that quality.
