Would you trade weight for power?

[yamas11]

Let's say that the reason that Sonic's knockback isn't as nice as others is due to his weight. Being a mid-weight with a great recovery gives him great surviving ability, which might be Sakurai's reason for having Sonic's knockback slighty lower than usual.

But if Sakurai asked the fans if they would rather have Sonic be a light weight (Let's say as light as Fox) with more knockback (Slightly lower than Fox's overall knockback power), would you want the change?

No.

Not a necessary thread, Brawl will always be as it is until we get hacked standards or Nintendo comes out with a new Smash game...

 

[SonicX580]

No I wouldn't change yamas11, and Kinzer I do agree with you and I think instead of a new game it will be hacked because think about it how long did it take to make Brawl?

If more knockback came with more priority, I would main this Sonic today.

Sonics biggest problem is KO-ability and priority. And light sonic would still be at least GW weight. For me, the trade-off is a no-brainer.

hell no

dying @ 80% to a snake utilt is no fun, even MK has nightmares of that

Why is every Sonic Mainer who posts here against a sonic with more power but less weight? If Sonic was lighter but could kill more easily, he would obviously be a better characer. There is no way Sonic would be any lighter than GW, but he wouldn't only be able to kill at like 150%+. Power issues > Weight issues in Brawl, otherwise GW, being second to Jiggs in lightweightedness, would not be able to overcome this weakness through having strong, powerful, high priority attacks, to end up being a highest tier character.

Sonic's primary problem is getting kills at less than 150%, after all. It seems like an extremely beneficial tradeoff.

Perfect example of why copypasta response are a bad idea. I don't feel it helped this situation at all.

When it comes down to it, Sonic mains don't have limitless skill, and there are players that surpass the current skill level of the current Sonic mains. That said, it's impossible to avoid getting hit forever. Metaknight has nearly-lagless decent-ranged attacks he can hide behind, and Sonic doesn't.. really.

Now if this tradeoff for power came with (running and attack) speed, it might be worth it.

But this isn't exactly a good place for the What-if and "ssb4"-esque discussions.

I don't think its the KO power at all thats the problem. Sonic has decent KO power, to say the least.

I'd say the problem lies in the speed of Sonic's KO moves. All his smashes have pre and post lag, grabs, depending on the player your fighting, can be hard to get, and his specials and tilts aren't really made for KOing.

So its not a matter of more power, cause more power won't help if you can't hit the opponent in the first place. I'm going with more attack speed.

Sonic Dsmash with MK dsmash speed plz.
