Why is this a thing? I know it happens for more than just sonic but as a sonic player, it makes me feel bad.

So do I, Sonic is a fast character, but not hard to deal with if you know the MU.
I'm loving Sonic in Sm4sh, forget the haters.
Do the responsible thing and tell them to c'mon and step it uptldr
they're too slow
Well put!Relevant.
I ranted about this on Twitter and apparently people liked it, so... Maybe this will help some of you.
Also remember, the same people who say Sonic is braindead are the same people that literally have no clue how he works or what the difference between Side-B and Down-B is.
That's okay. You have a Smashboards!Kinda sucks that I dont have a twitter.
That was immature, and even disrespectful, and you're just increasing my hatred for the character, and probably the players too.Ah, I see.
I think I understand now.That was immature, and even disrespectful, and you're just increasing my hatred for the character, and probably the players too.
Being bad at a matchup doesn't make you bad as a player, especially when it's Sonic, who's only double the stupidity of trying to play against him.
I only wish you did.I think I understand now.
I understand that you somehow don't equate player skill with player knowledge, which would encompass match-ups.I only wish you did.
You'll get no sympathy from me.In which case, you might have sympathy for anyone you play against.
I honestly do not understand the claim that he has never played against a good Sonic, and yet he still manages to lose. To me, that seems like self-referential incoherence at its finest or hyperbole induced by salt. Regardless, if a bad Sonic beats you consistently, it is probably not a bad Sonic... Unless you are bad.I understand that you somehow don't equate player skill with player knowledge, which would encompass match-ups.
I also understand that you have never played a good Sonic, which is your own testament, not mine.
I also understand that you main Fox and Sheik, according to your signature, which are characters that do perfectly fine, if not also beat Sonic.
Thus, I understand you should better yourself as a player and learn the match-up more intensively if you wish to make such claims. Until then, you can simply continue to get upset over things you don't understand, as human history shows is a common route to take.
You'll get no sympathy from me.
It's one thing to dislike a character, which is totally valid. I have my characters I hate playing against too, but the attempt to validate it is confusing, as you suggest.I honestly do not understand the claim that he has never played against a good Sonic, and yet he still manages to lose.

I suggest updating your signature.lol k
I rarely play with Fox or Sheik, and use Zelda most of the time. I encounter Zelda vs Sonic a LOT, and if you dont understand the pain of the matchup, then dont even respond to this message
Same advice to you (:On second thought, I suggest updating your main.

What really throws me for a loop is that people should be apologetic for playing a video game? Especially when it's typed out by someone who uses the best character in the game.
Yo man, don't feel bad, feel empowered. You're the master of a character that causes so much controversy, so much emotion, so much frustration, over having nothing but pure, and raw speed.Why is this a thing? I know it happens for more than just sonic but as a sonic player, it makes me feel bad.
Smile at them and just nod.So whats are your favourite things to do when getting Sonic hate?
My current thing is singing the Sonic X theme over their whining.
Win.So whats are your favourite things to do when getting Sonic hate?
I dislike Yoshi and Sheik for that very reason. If feels as if everything they do is safe on shield and their OOS options are almost their entire move arsenal. It's not entirely true, but their frame data is rather amazing. As for Sonic though, he is annoying to fight against. I don't think anyone can really deny that. His game involves speeding around the stage and waiting for punishes pretty much. No one really enjoys fighting against a character who is pretty much waiting. Sonic is deceptive. With his speed, you think he's just going to rush you down, but it's actually a lie. He zips around doing safe moves and waits for you to mess up. A match against Sonic almost always takes a long time and he is very good at pressuring and baiting opponents. When you use a slower character without a projectile, yeah Sonic has a pretty easy time, assuming the skill level is the same.I wouldn't say I necessarily hate Sonic (the only character I actually hate in this game is Rosalina.)
I just can't stand fighting him because I feel like he has no consequences to any of his moves. You can just keep spamming the dash ball attack and he can attack IMMEDIATELY after. Why? I have no idea. Yoshi is the same way. They never get punished for any of their moves. They can throw out a move, hit a shield or the person can dodge, and he has 0 animation lag and can just throw out another move ASAP. Couple that up with how fast he is makes the MU completely irritating and makes you feel like the char is completely unbalanced.
For example, I main Bowser, If I throw out a move and you shield it, I get punished. Why? It was the wrong judgement and I have to pay for the mistake. It's simple mechanics. Say I throw F-tilt. Well, now I have to wait for Bowser's arm to come back and to regain control of my character which takes a second. Sonic hits someone, they shield, and then he IMMEDIATELY regains control and can just keep throwing out move after move after move with no consequence. That's for me, personally, why I can't stand fighting Sonic. Same goes for Yoshi.
