If Sonic had Ryan Drummond voice clips I would drop every single other character for him.

I think Sonic's sprite should get an upgrade! Because Mario vs sonic looks plain weird now! either that, or Mario gets a sprite downgrade(which I would prefer) Reaction:

W-wha-...why?

Been waiting weeks for someone to post something here

And look how useful the replies were

I come back after a week of only playing Smash 4 and I realize how amazing Sonic is again. Spin Dash is so versatile, Homing Attack is awesome as an edgeguard, recovery and comboer, U-air is great, Spring Jump gives Sonic a ton of stage control...I am just really digging Sonic right now.

Why was Sonic #1 in v0.9a?

Light Dash was actually broken, a good comparison to moves like Grave Blade or Haste that people say are broken but aren't:



The move had insane followups, no risk, great priority, great speed, etc. Playing Sonic last demo basically required the honor system.

That old Side-B broke the meta, like Metaknight, in Brawl. You really just needed to spam that. And well, I used to just Light Dash everywhere.
And because of that move being so good, the side-b nerf actually was in my opinion, the biggest nerf in the game.
Because that one move made him top tier.
But, now Sonic still has many great tools, but he is no where as good as 9a Sonic, which makes him lower.

Not sure if this is a new tech or if it has been discovered.
Does anyone else know about being able to turn spindash in midair after jumping during it?
Only works if you get the spring glitch first.

Editing to say I had no idea sonic had a chaingrab.

you sir have introduced something that I've never seen before
and it actually looks insanely useful
how reproducible is it?
(btw his d-throw sort of chain grabs people with bad DI, but it's more of a running up re-grab kind of thing at low %)

It's very reproducible, but unfortunately you have to be affected by the glitch that happens when you are hit at the start of sonic's spring jump;this bug makes you unable to use any air special except downB. So when you jump during spindash, you try to sideB in the opposite direction, but due to the bug, the spindash turns around. My maximum before hitting the ground so far is 3 turns. Not as useful as it seemed, right?

hmm idk if I've seen this glitch
but yea, it's sad this can't be a thing... looks really cool

Looks like you are one of the best Sonic's after.

It looks useful for playing mind games with the opponent and can get out of sticky situations for being punished.

I see a lot of potential with this technique. Would be cool if this could be added for Beta...
