Sonic the Hedgehog, one of the coolest characters we got in this game is a very strong character as many will agree. He came over to Nintendo in Brawl, as he is originally from Sega, and made a return to the Smash Bros. series in the Wii u./ 3ds version. Over the past week or so I have been playing Sonic, and I just wanted to share my opinion on him.
Sonic has a lot of good things going for him, he is the 7th fastest walker, and by far the fastest runner in the game. His run speed makes him be able to punish his opponent from almost anywhere. He is so fast that it is noticeable just how much faster he is than even the second fastest character. His speed is probably his most deadly tool, as it is just amazing how fast he is compared to someone even like Shiek, who you expect to be very fast. Sonic has a great combo game, he can do side special into many attacks like up air, Nair, Dair, Fair, and Bair, or even a footstool that could lead to tech chase situations or a jab reset. Sonic has a ton of range on his forward smash, a deadly jump cancel up smash, and then a mediocre down smash. His aerials all combo fairly well, and can be used out of his up b. This can set up early kills. His up b is also is able to gimp people off the edge as it falls out from under Sonic after he uses it. Sonic has a strong grab game as he has a good grab speed, range, and is able to get in quickly on his opponents. He has quite a few follow ups to his up throw, depending on percent, and his back throw kills rather. His up throw can combo super easily because he is able to attack out of his up B. But, Sonic is very linear, and can easily be countered by top level players. He is very good for rewarding your reactions, or punishing people with slow reactions. Overall, I think that he has earned his spot as a top tier, but isn't a fun character because of how linear he is.
