Sonic techniques- updates
In the duration of this state, you are invincible and will follow the ground until you reach the end of the platform. If you roll off a straight edge or upward slope, you will continue to float straight. If you float off a downward slope, you will fall with a normal trajectory while still invincible. Turning around (while you're still on the ground) or jumping will cancel the airdash state.
Double Spring - even though the original description is true, it's now known that the true 'double spring' is performed by having someone footstool jump Sonic as he's rising during his first up-B or during the aerial that's usually done during the spring jump.
Down-B to F-smash is more like... "Hilldash" (mentioned earlier) - jumping while going up a 45 degree or steeper slope during spindash will allow you to perform any move out of it.
Homing Stall - just a slight update, because there are still people who don't understand this move: It's done by having Homing Attack 'rise' into the ceiling as it's charging, then releasing. If noone is in range, you will follow the ceiling and slide in the direction you are facing (can control this via Turnaround B's), but if someone IS in range, it will continually try to home in on them, usually leaving you moving back and forth under the block/platform.
Infinite Side-B Jump - This is just jump-cancelling grounded side-B charges. You can actually jump out of down-B charges, too, so it's not really the technique it markets itself to be lol.
Spinshot - An alternative (for GC controllers) is to charge an aerial down-B and, while charging (and still in midair), hit the C-stick (smash/attack) sideways. Default Wii-chuck controls can also easily do spinshot by charging side-B and hitting A at the same time ("grab") input.
Up-B Distance Extension - airdodge works too. Any aerial will cancel Up-B's "stiff" rising animation and allow you to start controlling your movement so you can float further away.
And some 'move properties' that never really left the Sonic boards:
ASC (aerial spin charge) multi-hit - An aerial down-B's damage is based on how much speed you have while floating in midair. While holding forward after releasing, you will deal max damage possible (modified by stale moves) and renew the attack box for two or more hits, depending on opponent's size and DI. Also works on shields and other damageable objects like bosses and breakable stage hazards.
ASC cancel - Tap (or, easier, hold shield) as you land after releasing aerial down-B (or after rolling off a platform with either one) and you will go into a shield.
Spindash cancel - While charging side-B, hit shield to cancel the charge. You can do anything out of this that you can out of shield.
I'm not really sure if these are considered an AT's or something, but they're miscellaneous tricks that combine two previous "techniques" in the guide.
Shield out of initial dash - Out of initial dash, you can start a side-B and shield cancel it so you can shield (and shield grab)
B-reversal pivot - out of any grounded movement (initial dash, full-run, etc), you can perform a B-reversal and shield cancel it to perform any move out of shield.
Airdash is performed by initiating Side-B on a 45 degree (or steeper) surface so that the initial hop is interrupted by the ground.
