Glad to hear it was helpful. Good luck!

Falco, Greninja and the occasional very good Little Mac have been my troublesome match ups. Regarding some of the others you mentioned I might not have great advice since I've not encountered too much trouble there. I can see how a good Mario and maybe Sonic could possibly give Samus a hard time...

I think it's probably worth noting here that Sonic's dash attack begins extremely fast if performed as quickly as possible. In fact, it might be Sonic's quickest option in his entire arsenal as far as activation goes. It's a little silly to keep bumping an MK with this move (after all, you're...

My advice is that Metaknight's biggest weakness is in his approach. So try to clip with something as he comes in to attack you. If you can foresee when he's going to come in from the air or maybe with a dash attack, you can retaliate appropriately by moving in and catching him off guard...

I haven't had much trouble with Lucario in my experience, so it's likely I fall into that category of people who "HAVE NOT PLAYED A GOOD LUCARIO" yet. Anyway, if you want my two cents, I think Sonic's best bet is probably spacing at that awkward distance just outside Lucario's range and waiting...

Been Smashin since 64. I use the classic controller.

RULE OF THUMB: Everyone has the advantage over sonic.

We need some vs metaknight and vs olimar vids.

It sure is! But anyway, I'd really like to see how everyone copes with playing against a good Olimar player. I really just can't seem to figure out ANYTHING effective in handling Olimar aside from running away forever and getting in little tiny hits whenever possible.

I dunno, a lot of sword characters can strike you from far enough away to avoid shield grabbing. Getting a toss in whenever you get the chance to is a great way to set up opportunities for Sonic, but I'd definitely be careful going for shield grabs against people like link or marth, you might...

I feel like Mario is a little misunderstood right now since his game seems to have changed a lot since melee. I've seen some capable Marios around.

Sonic's homing attack is outstanding for catching opponents out of rythm while getting compulsive with projectiles and rolls, so try and toss a few of those in occasionally at awkward moments when you know your opponent will act impulsively to avoid a quicker attack or something like that...

Timing and spacing really seem to go hand in hand, if you ask me. In fact, since you have fewer mobility options, I kind of thing spacing is even more of a task to deal with.

It's pretty simple really. Just dash---> smash backward--->smash forward and hit jump at the same time. Your character will turn as if to dash the other way, but then he will jump forward while facing backward out of the animation with full momentum. You can do it quickly enough so that it is...

I have yet to play a single, solitary match of brawl online without any sort of lag or significant input delay. That's entirely unacceptable in a game like this if you ask me...if Virtua Fighter 5 can play just as smooth online, I don't understand why Brawl can't.
