XD how did it break dude?SL I need you to text me again I lost your number when my phone broke
Be nice.^Idiot ^_^
Shadowlink84.Now onto Mr. SL
Spell it or don't say it.
if you , you know, read my post, you would know that is what I was saying. making this part of your response, null.Moveset means more than 1+ move so your example is void
We can do this with everyone except MK.Captain Falcon has moves that lag a lot, just some, they lack priority and also have bad range (just some again) so I fail to see how you consider that a good moveset
hey I can do it to Zelda too.
Zelda has kill moves that can be DI'ed. Just some.
Zelda has laggy moves, again just some.
Some of her moves are bad, again just some.
I can do it t MK too.
Some of his moves are long last, again just some
I trust you get my point.
Falcon's moveset isn't bad.
Priority is an issue true.
His range, its above average. its better than 20+ characters, on average.
The main issue though isn't the fact that his moveset is bad.
It isn't, its actually decent.
The issue is that his capabilities cannot put that moveset to use.
Look at melee, had the same issu with priority but look where he was.
Oh and mind you. his moveset is actually buffed on the whole.
So you're wrong.
The engine screws him up.
Uh huh. So they mock themselves by saying, lawl you play sonic.Oh wait, you play Sonic lawl
^That's how a lot of Sonic mains post in the sense of misinformation/
Um no, I didn't say that, you're strawmanning.As you said Marsulas didn't know Sonic then I could say you're ignorant on Zelda.
Keyword being greater. Never called him ignorant.So you are suddenly endowed with knowing more knowledge on Sonic than someone who mains them?
I won't forgive you since you have an edit button, and a back button. Use them.^OMG If you didn't please forgive me ^_^;; if you did then >:l
Riiiiiiiiight.See? You'll just continue the argument forever
KAND ALSO NOTE THAT I'M NOT GIVING ANY NUMBER
I never said you had to do so. Again, I am criticizing you, because you are acting as if you know more on what Sonic can do, when clearly, you do not.I don't need to play a character to understand what the character is capable of, this is one of the more common misconceptions seen on Smashboards daily.
people who also play the character, tend to know the lesser known things.
you don't have to play a character to know their capability, but why do you act as if you know more on Sonic than the mains themselves?
It would be understandable if they said something questionable, but they haven't.
Again never said you did, I was making a comparison on what you said about moveset to that of tier placement.I am aware that the characters tier placement has nothing to do with a matchup discussion that is obvious and nothing that I said implied that.
I understand you fully well, its mainly because Sonic mains get alienated so much, it gets rather tiresome.I am just tired of all the Sonic propaganda spread around SWF and when anyone ever says a negative thing about Sonic(whether it be a well respected player or a silly theory crafter like me)......the Sonic mains come in packs and complain about no one taking Sonic or his capabilities seriously, which is entirely not true.
As for myself, i am just a jerk in general so don't take it as my being a sonic main.
never said they didn't.Movesets do matter.
no.the more options you are allowed with your characters moveset....the better your character is it's as simple as that.
Again look back at Falcon in melee. he had many options available to him in that game.
it wasn't because of his moveset either mind you.
Especially considering several of his moves were buuffed coming into brawl!
No. it seems like a bad moveset but it is not.Captain Falcon has an awful moveset and a lot of his game is limited to a couple of options such as his jabs and his nair or bair............so it makes him become rather limited as a character.
if you go stat by stat basis, then his moveset isn't bad at all.
The issue is his capability, which you are talking about.
he cannot follow up his moves or anything because of the game's engine.
Not because his moveset is bad.
he has range, he has speed on several of his moves.
The games engine and lack of kill setups is what hurts him so badly.
He no longer ca use the offensive options he had in melee that made use not of his moveset, but his agility. Which he still has.
moveset is now more important, but it is not a determining factor in a matchup. Especially if you are facing a character who can retain their options while approaching.
For example Falcon vs Marth in melee is sometimes considered to be in Falcon's facvor, even though marth has a better moveset outright.
No it doesn't. Again its everything else + the moveset.Meta and Snake have far superior movesets to Zelda. Of course we look at other aspects of the matchup(such as character weight, recovery, KO power) but eventually it boils down to their superior movesets and the greater number of options they have against Zelda.
moveset does offer part of the reason for their options, but it does not boil down to it completely. Again i reference t Captain falcon in melee and in brawl.
in brawl his moves have gotten better, but he is a bad character on the whole.
Well it isn't damage. its killing.This is how I view Sonic, i'm not one of the people that believe Sonic is a crapload of a character and that we should just always write him off.......but he has to work his *** off for every amount of damage he gets in a lot of matchups.
sonic racks up damae just fine. If you make one mistake, he can easily cause around 32% damage of a single combo.
If its one of his lesser combos it is 18%, not counting his chasing ability.
If SOnic spincharges you and footstools you, he can smack you for another 18% assuming he doesn't footstool you again.
The issue though is at higher percents where he cannot kill.
17 frame Fsmash? terrible.
15 frame Dsmash? With over 40 frames of endurance? terrible.
13 frame Bair? passable.
but then he has no setups for his Bair which hurts terribly.
his horizontal aerial movement is 6th in speed. It is among the worst in mobility.Sonic is obviously fast and can cancel Spindashes and a bunch of other crazy s***, but his moveset is far slower than Zelda's. His horizontal aerial movement speed is slow as well and combining that with our threatening usmash and it limits his approaches to grounded ones. I am aware that the ground is where the majority of Sonics approaches will come from..........but thats where Zelda excels.
however he can circumvent this in a number of ways.
Concerning attack speed I believe you are incorrect.
moves sonic has that are faster.
jab:
ftilt:
utilt:
Dash attack
Nair
Fair
Uair
Moves zelda has that are faster.
Fsmash
Dsmash
Usmash
Dtilt
Dair
Bair
But as you can tell its these that matter most.
Minus the Usmash, all of Sonic's kill moves are slower.
Sonic has little issue racking damage, he does so better than a number of characters, its the fact that he can't get the kills when he needs them.
The issue though is that Zelda cannot wall off Sonic as effectively as Marth or MK. She lacks the pure speed and range that those two characters have.Her priority doesn't come from her smashes alone. Jab and dtilt are really good for spacing without the fear of being punished because of their extremely low cooldown. Now obviously I can't just throw these moves out whenever I feel like it because of Sonics speed. Jab to a spotdodge or dtilt to a spotdodge, I could quickly put up a shield, I could turnaround bair, I could SH nair......she has a lot of options for putting up a successful wall that doesn't require a lot of risks with her fsmash, dsmash, and usmash. Nair I see as being very good in this matchup as well becuase the AC ability of the move enables numerous options before I hit the ground and when I hit the ground(and yes I am aware that Sonic is fantastic at punishing landing lag).
Well priority isn't so much an issue with Zelda primarily because they don't cover alot of area. They have range, like Fair and Bair, but they don't encompass as much space.
Concerning your jab.Dtilt to spotdodge.
I say the best one you can get away with, is your Dtilt, Since it doesn't last as long and Sonic won't be able to dash shield grab through it as easily. Mind you he can dash shield grab through most of your moves and considering Sonic remains just outside your range, you have to be very careful cause of his speed.
As for Sh Nair, I do not really recommend it, against as I said earlier, its cause of sonic's gameplay style, staying just outside the opponents range. So if you Sh Nair, he can very easily jump in with his Bair to beat out your Nair.
i don't believe sonic can really punish landing lag as effectively on Zelda because most of her moves finish before she even gets near the ground, so it won't be the issue. its more on what happens after you've initiated your move.
She can hinder the approach, but she won't be able to wall Sonic effectively.
I think Dtilt is more annoying than jab because its faster and can lead to setups on sonic.
As for sonic approaching in the air. He can do it well.
He has two quick methods of approaching through the air.
Spinshotting
Instantspindash jump (ISDJ)
Spinshotting lets him instantly double jump and sends him faster through the air than everyone. It goes up to the peak of his jump and covers roughly half of FD.
he can use any of his attack moves to stop the aerial momentum.
ISDJ isn't as quick in initiated, but it retains his second jump, allowing him better mobility in the air even though it takes longer for him to get to the ground. At the cost of a second jump, he can attack out of it.
He also has his ASC which comes in at roughly 45% and can be controlled somewhat before release (he can move away or froward a little), he can double jump it or shield cancel it.
Now since Zelda has her epic Usmash of doom, he probably won't approach from the air as much, but when he does so, its extremely quick.
I am a slow typer too. XDLol i'm a really slow typer so I look forward to having something to respond to so I don't use up eevrything right now. I do have some more on the matchup though.
^^^Please don't turn into some elitist, f***head, dips***....because thats really what you've been sounding like lately.
This.
I don't count though, i sound *****y most of the time =(
