    As a Sonic main in all Smash titles, even modded ones, I agree that Sonic needs move sets like these. But I like to see newer move sets based on the combat from Sonic Frontiers as they now definitely show Sonic can fight his foes rather than just turning into a ball or boosting

      Forget the games, read the comics. Sonic and his friends don't mess around. While I'm not going to bitch about Sonic's moveset (seriously guys, let it go), I do agree that it feels like either Nintendo didn't even try, or they have no real idea about Sonic's background/universe.

    Also good detail to note,in the older versions of SSF2(super smash flash 2) at around 2014 or so,a lot of sonic's moveset changes there were used for almost every PM mod at the time,including the side B dash,the axe kick Fair,etc. Always is amazing to see an entire community come together and mish mash ideas

    • @MedhaosFEH
      @MedhaosFEH ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Axe Kick Fair was actually the other way around.
      Sonic had his Brawl/Smash 4/Ult Forward Air before his resprite (so any version before Beta), and then it was changed to be the Axe Kick in the first version of Beta when Sonic was resprited.

    Sonic deserves the moveset that better represents his characater and capabilities. Hopefully with Sonic Frontiers and Sakurai playing the game and seeing it as a "must play" before release. I am hopeful Sonic will get a excellent moveset with next Smash entry. Gone are the days of the stigma where people believed that "Sonic isn't a fighter." that many said for years, which isn't true.
    A merging of Sonic Battle, Frontiers and such will be perfect for him.
    Sonic in PM/P+ actually FEELS like Sonic and simply awesome. Actually care and love was added to him.

    some fun facts: Not only the forward air but also the PM+ Down smash, that flip kick up-smash/up-tilt, the new jab combo are all from Sonic Battle, and the flash game use his sprite from the game as well. The PM+ side special is the summersault from Adventure 2. And the N-air from beyond melee is one of the air tricks from the Sonic Advance and Rush games.

    I've never seen this channel or any videos quite like this, but I still enjoyed the video. I want to say that since I don't really have much else to comment on other than the fact that I found it funny that throughout the entire video, you keep saying "X moves came back from Project M" when they didn't, all those moves come from sonic battle. It was especially hilarious when you were talking about them returning in Crusade where sonic is literally just using his sonic battle sprites, which should have made it obvious where those moves originated. Other than that though I thought the video was pretty cool, and it was interesting to learn about the different ways that fans have made changes to and arguably improved Sonic's moveset.

    IMO Sonic's problems are often overblown. Some people still pretend his every attack is 🔵 when there's only 6 of those moves in Ultimate. The biggest issue is that 3 of those are specials, and I agree he should get a different side special. The rest of the moveset is at least fine, and I don't understand why you'd want to get rid of stuff like the jab combo when it's a good and fitting reference to not only Sonic Fighters but Virtua Fighter as well.

Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (with Ganondorf maybe getting a moveset closer to canon appearances in future, for those who think he needs a bigger overhaul)

You don’t know how much potential that sonic has and these mods proves that. I grow up with sonic ever since a little kid and seen his move set being one of the most lack luster and uninspired move set in the entire game just really sucks.
