I tried Sonic last night and you can spam his short hop fair, you just need really good control and fast fingers.

For me Sonic is too fast, so I can't really use him for anything but running off the stage. >.>

(Fairs someone 3 times in 1 air attack.. it's spammable.) It losses power very fast though.

I think he's talking about your turnip barrage that you do, he did neglect to mention the bombadier and fair that you love to follow up with if a turnip connects.

He must be closing the gap on you in games though as that's the only time you roll behind down smash and then roll away and start with the turnips. I'm not pro but I did use Peach for a little while and your control with her fair is amazing.

I can tell your just afraid to use her grabs and dair set ups. You did move on to using her f-tilt last time we played though. But your Peach is hard to beat anyway so your doing something right.

Can is not synonymous with should. Sonics F-air is quite easy to smash DI out of.

To play Sonic you have to know; you've got little range, little priority, and few ways to KO. F-smash should NEVER be used for damage, only when your 100% sure it will KO. 90% of the time I land an F-smash with Sonic, it KOes. You have to constantly be using different moves with Sonic because his damage isn't the highest so constant switching keeps SMG from raping your damage output. You have to know what moves Sonic has that offer invincibility (No Super Armor moves but 3 Invincibility), you have to know when Spin Dash and Spin Charge should be used.

Most important with Sonic is you have to know how to camp with his speed. Sonics may look very offensive but playing them offensively is a good way to fail hard. Sonic is played very reactive and you have got to have good reflexes and prediction skills to play him. Sonic is fast enough to run in and grab a Snake holding down A waiting for a jab to connect.
