You're too slow!

You're too slow!

You're too slow!

You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow! You're too slow!

... Enough.

Anyway, as Sonic is considered overpowered far and wide, he's underlined as well. You can say he is overpowered, but you must do it with respect and reasoning. As usual, bashing, flaming Sonic users and SPAMming will be reported with no hesitation.

So, where do you see Sonic's main advantages? Do you think it was worth it dealing with Sega and all that jazz? Is Sonic worth his position in Brawl? Are Mario vs. Sonic fights still epic?

Sonic is one of the best characters in Brawl. All-around good in everthing (especially speed) I particularly enjoy running around and beating the tar out of people with the Blue Bomber.

Sonic is one of my favorite character to use because I like to use speedy character. And his power is just about right for me. I really love his specials.
If only he had a bigger role in SSE...

I believe that the "City Escape" song from Sonic Adventure 2, sans the part about escaping from the city, describes Sonic's gameplay in this game perfectly. He just keeps movin' on, doesn't know what's ahead, but there's only one way to find out. He doesn't care what's ahead, he just goes and crushes it. Crushes it with all that he's got.

Unfortunately...that isn't much. Though Sonic has speed, he just feels...well, rushed. All of his mechanics are borrowed from other characters, especially Pikachu (some throws, a lot of midair moves) and Zero Suit Samus (Meteor Kick). His roll attacks are taken from Yoshi's Egg Roll, and the Spring Jump is taken from the Springboard. Homing Attack is his one original saving grace.

Really, there's not much to Sonic. He's a grab bag of character techniques streamlined into a single character. He feels like, and is, a rushed effort in most senses. However, I admire how Sakurai was able to balance him out with the rest of the characters in Brawl. A really nice job by him on that.

Sonic...I don't particularly like him. However, I do like his music, so I'm happy he's in. But, maybe one day, Banjo and Kazooie or someone I would've prefered will come and take his place.

Also, he needed moar SONIC WIND!

While I agree he feels abit rushed, the moves that look copied feel different from the "originals"

Like Both Spin Dashes are chargable unlike Egg Roll, which has a set speed.
Not only that, it only lasts for one turn around, rather than 3-4.
His down kick has a larger hitting range due to Sonic's large compared to most's feet.

His Spring Jump, however, I fail to see as copied.

Sonic runs really fast, but his attack speed doesn't seem so exceptional.

He's not-so-powerful (kinda average) and he has a hard time finishing foes. All of his attacks are close-ranged.

He can attack after using his Third Jump.

His final smash is kind of powerful and lasts a bit too long.

That is all.

Personally, I hate sonic. I don't really care for his existance. He's fast, and is the reason everyone bans smash balls. He always gets the smash ball, and kills everyone with his final smash. It's really annoying. I wish everyone in the game had this taunt except sonic.

You're too fast, and it's getting annoying! You're too fast, and it's getting annoying! You're too fast and it's getting annoying! You're too fast, and the people who aren't sonic fanboys know that you shouldn't be in the game!

Fortunately, when I fight sonic, I take to the air. His air game sucks, and that's how you beat him. Just remember to turn smash balls off first.

That's a grave generalisation right there. I do like Sonic's presence in the game, and I haven't played a Sonic game since I was 5. And I know many people who aren't anywhere near the classification of "Sonic fanboy", but still like Sonic.

Sonic is fun to play as and he moves exceptionally well, but he has no "KO" move.

He has moves that can eventually hit with KO force, but he doesn't have a powerhouse move. Which really makes him an easier opponent. You can take more punishment from Sonic while dealing your damage.

Sonic, however, does have good TKO potential, this meaning, KO'ing opponents not by force but making a recovery impossible.

I love to use Sonic as I am a Classic Sonic fan. He controls and plays as I would expect him to and because of that he came so completely naturally to me. I'm by no means Pro with Sonic, but I can hold my own.

Also, Super Sonic is the most amazingly Broken FS in the game... but I love using it all the same XD

Sonic is what I like to call...A SPEED WHORE, and thats his only main advantage but he's so weak(besides the final smash) the speed isn't even worth it.

In a standard issue tournament match, sonic pretty much has as much a chance as anyone at winning or losing. It's definitely a matter of controlling Sonic's speed. However, I will admit that Sonic is definitely harder to beat in a match with smash balls, as super sonic is easily the most deadly final smash in the game imo. In the end, its all about using Sonic's speed against him when fighting him.
