Was Super Sonic......nerfed?

[IrishSheikah]

I keep hearing since E for All Expo it was majorly nerfed

 

[Dragonbreath]

That would imply that it was an even better Final Smash than it is right now. Which is like saying that Sega's marketshare could be even smaller than it is. Impossible.

 

[Digital Angel]

Psh...yeah Sonic has the coolest and arguably the best final smash so let's not complain too much.

 

[Chiroz]

I thought it was just made faster and wider hitbox. But that would be a buff, so I guess I thought wrong.

How exacly was it nerfed?

 

[Circus]

It's absolutely faster. I don't think that can be argued.

As for hitbox, damage, etc., I guess I don't know. But in general, he doesn't seem to have too much trouble killing with it (one of the only ways he has of killing, apparently).

The one nerf that I can think of is that the duration may have been shortened. But really now, I don't think it takes THAT much time to aim Sonic at a character and drive-by them off the stage.

Um.... if they DID nerf the FS, then it NEEDED to be nerfed because, as it stands, it's arguably the best final smash in the game... it' hard to imagine how it could be even better, it certainly wouldn't need to be

Nope, the length wasn't shortened. Both in the E for All demo and the final game, Super Sonic lasts for 15 seconds. Also, considering the speed was improved, and it now does 18% damage per hit instead of the 16% damage at E for All, I think that it would be considered better...don't you think? The only argument that anyone can say is that since he's faster, it's harder to control him, but that's a flawed logic, considering with enough mastering, you'll be able to control it fine, and the speed becomes only an asset.

 

[Zarroc96]

Yeah, well Sonic's FS is majorly awesome.

 

[Phoenix_Dark]

Can characters still clash with Super Sonic like at E for All? I've been wondering about that for a while.

Ah.

Well then there you have it—Super Sonic is god, so quit worshiping whoever you've been worshiping up to this point.

 

[RickettsZ22]

yeah nothing but rhymes is right sonic is God.........

 

[Hark21Ball]

Awesome! Super Sonic will be getting kills left and right!

 

[Wyvern]

I've been playing Brawl two nights a week for the last month or so, and I have never seen anyone survive Sonic's final smash.

EVER.

Didn't it have horizontal knockback at E4A though?

All I've seen is vertical kills with it in the final game.
