He doesn’t though. He has a few really good KO moves.
X.X I can see this is going to be an up hill battle for me but I just can’t accept low tier. I think I’m gonna have to play you corner-trap. I especially like how you make it sound as if it’s nigh impossible to get kills with the hedgehog
i don’t see how anyone can say that he has mediocre KO ability. His b+air, U+air, f-smash and up-tilt all KO. And all of those are really good moves.
exactly…he’s got bad matchups but he does have good moves. And like I said before…I’m hard-headed…especially when it comes to my favorite character. I can’t just ‘hear’ he’s low tier…you’re gonna have to show me.
Get a new favorite character.
Lol i see you struggling trying to defend sonic on here sonichuman. Now you see what i go through everytime i use kirby. I swear peoples was laughin at me at the tournament, but they shut the hell up when they saw me winning lol. But since this thread is about sonic I’ll get serious for a minute…I actually think he’s not that bad of a character. Like others, the main problem i have with him are his smashes. His best of course is the foward smash, but i have problems spacing it out sometimes. I guess this just gives balace to the character, he’s already hella fast.
damn emblem…it’s like that eh? nah…why would I give up my favorite character to someone more high tier? I ain’t a tier whore that isn’t my style. If Ike, metaknight, and marth were shit tier you’d probably get a new main…but I’m not you. I do have a few alternate people to go too but regardless of what tier Sonic is gonna be i’m STILL going to rep him as best as I can…even when I’m know I’m probably going to lose. I’d rather have someone lose to me with a mid tier/low tier character than a high tier character anyway =D
Edit:
yeah it’s a struggle but i’m gonna do my thing regardless of what people in this thread, the next thread or whatever thread say about him. You need to hurry up and bring your ass back up here to Va so we can have pink ball vs hedgehog matches. Bring him on!
I mean honestly…I love Sonic too. I read all the comics and played all the GOOD Sonic games.
I’m all up Sonic lore and Knuckles lore as well. Knuckes family is complicated and convulted as fuck BTW.
Fucking Sega doesn’t know what the fuck they are doing with Sonic nowadays.
Anyway, too many times have I regulated myslef to playing my faves against high level comp and gotten wrecked knowing full well that I could go even further with a better character.
I’ll play Sonic all day in casuals. But when I’m slapping down 30 bucks for a tourney (20 for singles and 10 for teams) you can bet your ass I will go with a character that can go all the way.
well said…I already have enough respect for you emblem and your opinion. I’m probably not gonna do any tourneys or anything but for me even if it was a tourney I’d try out sonic first…then go to whoever but that’s not the wisest way to go but uhh…that is my way of the ninja?
Edit: I gotta remember to try my dedede against you to see where he’s at
LOL.
Props for the naruto reference.
Sonic might not be top tier, but you sir are god tier.
I admire your dedication.
Don’t drop Sonic. Just pick up a secondary.
A back up, as it were.
My Bowser is running into some match up problems too, but I ain’t quitin, n who knows. Someone you fight is bound to not be on top of their anti-Sonic game, and having match up knowledge and exp at your fingertips could be the decisive point for teh win and/or Lose.
lol thanks…anytime we fight online…BEAT THE HELL OUT OF ME…I wanna make sonic as good as possible.
I ain’t droppin him…ever! lol I’ll fight your bowser some more so you can get better at dealing with the hedgehog’s bullshit.
Sonic doesn’t suck; it just there are a LOT of better characters out there. I love Sonic as much as the next guy, but he just isn’t my style. When I want a fast annoying character, I switch to Diddy.
I’ll PM you whenever I get Wifi, but I’ll warn you, I play Jigglypuff. And I’m not saying that it’s impossible to KO with Sonic, just harder than what it takes most characters.
Ice Climbers say “Hello”
A noob ICs will have an easier time of things than a noob Sonic. Getting dat chaingrab going with ICs is very difficult, but just getting used to Sonic is difficult. ICs have a somewhat exponential difficulty curve, while Sonic has a steep early curve that smooths out after a little while.
Man… I feel for all you Sonic mainers. He can be frustrating as hell to use, especially against good DI. I was playing a DK yesterday. I got the guy to over 150% on two of his stocks, but I only barely manages to kill him. I landed more than one b-air when he was at over 150%, but his DI kept him alive. It’s annoying to be in that situation. I love racking up damage as the little bugger, but it gets bad once I try to KO. Props to you guys for using him, and hopefully something will be found to help make him more able to KO without the crutch of Super Sonic.
don’t spam back air when you’re ready to ko… try using other things so you can get the ko moves that matter back to full power. I wish there was a way to just straight up cancel his buzzsaw from both his forward b and his down b moves. I was trying to see if there was because that would be even more mix up for him.
Off topic for a sec: Looking at your av, Sonichuman, reminds me of how much cooler the green-eyed whitish-blond SSJ version of Super Sonic is than the current red eyed gold one.
…well…i suppose they wanted to differentiate super sonic at least slightly from SSJ…even though they came out and said that the idea was taken from dbz…along with the whole ‘7’ chaos emeralds thing instead of 6.
