People quitting Sonic?

We all know that Malcolm quit Sonic for Wario and Shugo has done the same for Falco. I saw a post a while ago that someone said they left Sonic for Pikachu.

Why are people quitting Sonic, especially the two pros mentioned. I noticed the three characters are all higher tiers too, so I guess it's to get better results. Why not just make your Sonic improve and keep practicing andd stuff.

Is anyone else quitting Sonic? :(

Holding side-B against Cheese until he quits.
Unfortunately, I won't be quitting Sonic either lol. Well, Scourge technically. I got in a rut and tried to go my Falco at a tourney on Saturday, and I think I woulda done better and possibly advanced farther if I hadn't gone Falco that last game. I'mma be stuck with no kill power till the end of tiiiiiiiiiiime.

Anyway, people quit sonic because of:
A. Lack of kill power
B. Bad matchups
C. They find a character they are better with
D. You have reached Sonic's full potential and need to move on. There's only so much you can do with Sonic.
The final reason only applies to Malc and maybe Shugo. Anyone care to add to my list step on up.

I could drop Sonic for Snake, but I love Sonic more than MGS. So, I'm rockin that blue hedgehog all day. Aside from Snake, Luigi, Mario and D3. I don't have as much fun playing any other character.

Unlike Malcolm, Shugo still breaks out the blue one in tournaments every once in awhile.

People learned that they are sick of losing to people they shouldn't be losing to. And what wedge and kupo said...I guess they just got tired of it in general.

EDIT: Dont get me started on the "Best Sonic" arguments either...makes me wanna go jump in a la-well you get the point >_>

I quit him when I stopped playing the game.

Now I started to play again and since I find only 2-4 characters fun in this game. Well, you know... So I won't be quitting Sonic no time soon, otherwise I might quit the game again.

This. The only real pro to using Sonic is movement speed and semi reliable mindgames. Nearly every matchup is a disadvantage for him, and you MUST outplay your opponent to win. Sonic's MU's are scattered through 55-45 and 60-40 opponents favor, with MK being the only one I personally find near un-doable (or at least extremely hard, character change worthy if you ask me). Sonic also has crap ko power...I can't really think of a reason for maining him unless you like him, want to be different, enjoy a challenge, or some other reason minus wanting to win.

I want to know how many competitve Sonics we have. My reason for using him is that I like him, and he fits my style nicely.

I know that Sonic is bad, but I don't think I'm going to quit him. I think that he still has potential to maybe make middle mid tier, but it's going to take a lot of work since every battle is uphill.

Espy and X are the only ones ive seen make the wario matchup look doable for me. Im probably going to play falco against him now.

funnily enough, i only started playing falco because of the stereotype that all good falcos are black and all black people are good at falco.

ill never quit sonic, but im probably going to start playing falco in tourney, since its like 10 times easier to beat scrubs with him, and then ill pull sonic on people that know what they are doing.

you've got to be joking. Wario's making you go falco? Really? We can beat wario's dude...just dont approach, its as a simple as it sounds. also, dont get into the air and fall into a baited waft. :dizzy:

You can do this KID.

The only match ups I "dislike" are MK and Lucario to be honest.

But I don't dislike it enough to change characters. Sawnik ftw.

What's a counterpick?

Yeah, because we love giving Warios the time to charge up Wafts that can KO us at ludicrously low percentages.

You HAVE to approach. You just need to approach wisely. Otherwise, you're giving him a chance to charge up the waft.

I tried camping out my wario in a money match and he just did what overswarm says, and didnt attack me until there was 30 seconds left in the game, and than got an f smash off on me, and than ran away from me for the last 10.

Speed shut up. What amazing warios have you beaten? Honestly I haven't beaten a wario in tourney since I came out of cammy's womb. Its hella difficult for me unless I am falco. But I'm determined to get my scourge back to its prime so I'm goin for the shugo training and the all hedgehog mms and tourney placings. And of course I must beat my foolish little brother who thinks he knows so much

Shado hates me so much. Espy, either way, you're screwed in that match. Approaching wisely with sonic can be done, but it takes too much work when the wario just has to jump and hit the cstick down. Plus there's the waft thing you mentioned...its an uphill match.

Ugh, dont listen to me about mu's im weird. I do not think i know so much! <_<

Shado, i have beaten wario in tourney dude, but rainbow cruise was gay and it gayed him, so i dunno if you want to count that being a win.

hai grandpa. :o

I think I'm the best Sonic in my region....
Because I'm the only one :S

Still, my horrible matches have been against a Wario (DFat1), and a random Olimar....
Let's see how far I get in the next tourney..

Read the dair. It's pretty easy to do.

Yeah, you're screwed either way, but I'd personally rather put some pressure on them than just sit back and watch the waft build up.

It's kind of hard for me to quit Sonic because he's one of the only reasons why I play Brawl to begin with.

I may be on a break, but I'll still rep for Canada. ...sorry again for not making it out to Texas, Espy. **** came up and low on cash I am low on cash. lmao

Sonic Players I want to face/rematch

• ShadoFiend
• Speed
• X
• Espy
• Malcolm
• Infzy
• KID
• Myself (wonder what would happen if you cloned yourself perfectly and faced yourself. that'd be awesome)


Uhm. Calling all challengers when I start playing again and if I travel? lol hi gaiz

I love that art of Amy...

Anyone who needs avatars or wants something new made, lemme know. I've found my second wind on making them! Been coloring doujinshi icons too.

[EDIT]

lol at being called Cloud. That's basically what I wanted to be called anyway, but you know... Every forum has it. lmao

Those who are true to the char sticks with em. those who want to win, switches.

EDIT: Welcome back cloud! :D
