the whole smash community is learning why tf eggman got so pressed over a blue hedgehog.

Fun Fact, Sonic walk faster (1.444) that Ganondorf can run (1.34)

What i hate is that out of all the cast, the timeout character had to be Sonic. It feels so counterintuitive to his canon.

What's crazy is that Sonic truely didnt pop off untill the wifi wars during covid. Once people picked him up, they couldnt put him back down. Bro was given an inch and TOOK A MILE

I laughed so hard when i saw leo time sonix out twice in a single set, king of adaptation

I find Sonic an interesting case. In most multiplayer games, hypermobility is frustrating, since it allows for virtually free positioning and the ability to just overwhelm your opponent while remaining virtually untouchable themselves. They make sure they do EVERYTHING before you can do anything.

Sonic, on the other hand, doesn't infuriate you because there's nothing you can do if your counterplay just cannot combat the sheer speed of your opponent. Instead, he bores you to death by making sure NOTHING happens, which as unhealthy as it is, it's honestly a cool twist on hypermobility being complete and utter bullshit.

Seriously I agree with Tweek, when I watch sonic, the only thing that comes to my mind is "how the hell do you lose with this character" he seems unbeatable sometimes

If this video has taught me anything, it is that Sonic is actually a scary three foot nightmare and Eggman is right to be so chuffed about him.

It's really interesting seeing a video essay about Sonic's revilement in Smash that is less from the perspective of a Sonic fan and more from the perspective of a Smash competitor.

I distinctly  remember an elite smash match where I was going against a sonic.
As it happened, I was playing villager.

From the beginning, I could tell that they wanted me to approach and were waiting for a slip up. However, I inside sat at the other end of the stage spamming projectiles the entire match.

It was more of a test of patience than an actual fight.

The 8 minute timer was exhausted easily.

0:28 “The Notorious D.L.C.” would actually be a really great tag for a Steve/Kazuya/Aegis main terrorizing their locals.

I think aggressive sonic is incredibly fun to watch, but you never see anyone play him like that because camping is ultimately the optimal strategy. If Nintendo tweaked Sonic just a bit, they could really Impact his playstyle for the better. (Also yes I’m a sonic main)

Bro, it’s His World.

Imagine if Sonic had a special mechanics where his matches are considered "races" and if the clock goes to 0 you automatically lose.

Sonic is a weird character to me because my opinion of his players changes depending on the setting. If I lose to a campy sonic in a friendly match, it’s so frustrating because it gives off the impression that they’re just tryharding to an insane degree. But, on the other hand, if I lose to a campy sonic in bracket, I can’t help but feel like I just got outplayed.

13:47 lemme say something here
Sonic does indeed dance, the thing about it tho is that the stage is only his and the opponent is just a spectator, sometimes chosen by the dancer to get on stage for a couple seconds
He dances around you while you watch and stay still

At least sonix is a nice guy.

The Sonic games are very rich with content like power-ups. It just baffles me why they wouldn't give him a more imaginative move-set now.

"Playing against Sonic is basically a game of chicken"

That's pretty damn accurate actually

Man, imagine how hype high-level Sonic plays would be if Sakurai gave him a moveset
