This may be a noobish thread, but I'm really curious as to the opinions of current Sonic mains about where Sonic stands amongst other brawl characters today. Does everyone still think he's low tier stuff, or that he's a generally sucky character, or ae some of you starting to have higher hopes for the blue blur?
As for me, personally the more and more I play Sonic the more comfortable I feel playing others, and the more I feel like Sonic is, as Izzy once put it "solid mid tier stuff". Now I don't really care about tiers, I play Sonic both because I'm a fanboy and because I love his playstyle, and would play him no matter how sucky he were. However, the more I play, the more match-ups don't really seem "unfair" or whatevs with Sonic. Of course, it might simply be match-ups becoming easier from experience, but I don't think so because I've always had good knowledge of match-ups. I have a pretty good falco and marth(altho admittedly not as good as my Sonic), characters generally considered to be "better" and I don't find playing with Sonic as being any more difficult. Maybe it has something to do with my playstyle, I mean I pwn with grounded spin dash combos, and I have a good feel for grounded spin dashes priority-wise.
Anyways what do you guys think? Sonic has been placing better in tournies, and I think there's alot of potential in Sonic that isn't used effectively(surf/grind, true pivots, shield cancelled-sideB, etccc).
How have your impressions of Sonic changed since you started playing brawl?
