You get hit with Sonic regardless of what you do. I'd love it if this were a thing to be added but currently no. You're just asking to get knocked off the stage with no recovery if you 'require' the spring glitch.

Alright Lite2Key here back again with another OP game-breaking (read:useless) glitch/thingy https://gfycat.com/WildFirsthandEnglishpointer
Got C. Falcon frozen in grab animation, due to the spring bouncing me up.

Sonic now wins the MU against Falcon because of this.

Deleted my last post just so I didn't have to wait 3 weeks not to double post.

Anyways, I found something with Sanic. It's simply a delight.

OMG Smash 4 tech in SSF2.

Me and Rev figured out how to do this.

Very, very very difficult to reproduce and I personally need a macro to do it and even then it's not guaranteed 100% of the time.

Another Sm4sh tech? Cool! I think you could do this in Brawl too.

You're definitely right about the timing though... I could never get it down.

It's on the wiki so it's been known about for awhile. I guess either nobody has really practiced it or it got harder to do I dunno lol. Spinshot.

Oh apparently Niayre added it. So it's almost been known for 2 years now.

Yeah, but its much harder to perform this demo than last. I guess an add to another of Sonic's nerfs.

He can also perform a pseudo wave dash by doing the same technique.

What you have to do is go to Sky Sanctuary Zone and go on one of the high cliff platforms on the bottom of the stage. Start Spin Dashing and let go, as you are about to leap off, perform a neutral air and he will slide. Do it as he is coming off the platform because performing the neutral air to close to the ground will cancel the momentum.

I tried using it on regular platforms, but the speed of spin dash begins to slow down. It's also possible on the platforms of Castle Siege.

Edit:Also I am playing Sonic and Falcon again seriously.

As a question, do you guys feel as if Sonic is hard to use?

I hear a lot of differing opinions on the subject. Some don't play him because they don't like to SD. Others think he's too fast. If I happen to 4 stock a random using Sonic and they switch to Sonic because by golly he's just the cheapest little thing and that random sure is gonna teach me a lesson, they tend to SD a lot or rely too much on homing attack and spin dash.

Like all in all I haven't had much difficulty with the character due to Fox in melee and Sonic in Brawl. So I was kinda used to speed. But I also feel as if I put too much effort into getting kills which detracts slightly from the character, sort of like Sora. Is the character in your opinions weak? Easy or hard to play? How fast is too fast? Balanced appropriately? Let's find out.

After a long long time of playing Sonic, he feels pretty damn awesome to play as. In my opinion, he is weaker than other characters. When it comes to speed, I think he's not as fast as he could be. As for balance, i think he needs buffs, whatever they could be.

Do you mean the speed of his attacks or mobility in other areas?

I just started getting back into Sonic so I'm trying to adjust to him, but it will take some time since I can't use him well as you two at the current moment. I more use to Brawl and Smash 4 Sonic now. However, I do think he may need some buffs. I can hardly get anything out of grabs now and I wish some of his attacks were stronger along with being faster.

I do wish his recovery could be a little better sometimes, but its okay now.

Oh sorry, I mean mobility as in running speed, airspeed, etc

His air speed from the test Starkiller did shows he has very poor air speed when compared to the main games where its the fastest. I said something about this on this thread, but ducki or whatever and phoenix wright said he doesn't need good air speed because that's not how he is like in the games. Wright said Sonic needs to be closer to his source material and I was like how many of these characters are close to their source material? He got me thinking when he said that s***.

How do you feel about his vertical mobility? Do you think he should jump as fast and smoothly as ZZS or Samus?

Yeah, I do. I don't know much, but I feel like he could more followup opportunities if he could move more smoothly in the air. And I agree with how you feel about how characters don't have to be accurate in all aspects to the source material. Like look at Wario, his air movement is so smooth, even though he's fat.
