5:42 & 12:00 & 18:54 - Forgot to call it by its official name Vertical Spin Jump
7:22 - Spin shot isn't exclusive to spin dash. You are able to do it with spin charge in mid air, but its much harder to do.
7:31 - That tech is called Spin Charge Jump since its possible to do it with spin charge and a fully charged spin dash (Let go of special and immediately press attack. The spin dash version is only possible on the ground)
21:10 - Called Aerial Spin Pivot and you can B reverse it and turn it around.
You should totally pin this, the fact this comment has no likes means no one's seeing it, when everyone totally should be seeing it.
Thanks.
Why won't you go play in a tournament?

Thank You

Soon, everyone will be “rolling around at the speed of sound”.
Idk why I thought u were gonna make a rolling joke since sonic spins around everywhere but nvm :P

Very random bro hell yah I love it

Nice choice for lab dummy
@@alanwott8226 i mean all mario did was get a few hits for a free ticket for "sonic sugar rush".
I didn't notice sonic wags his tail when crouching
Yeah I forgot he did that.
Bruh I forgot sonic had a tail 🗿
Honestly, it's the most adorable thing i have ever seen.
I forget he has a tail tbh
Dewdropp 🗿 Same bruh
OH MY GOD, I JUST NOTICED THAT SONIC WAGS HIS TAIL WHEN HE’S CROUCHING
THAT’S ADORABLE
No you’re cringe
@@connorhancock2096 cringe, well, ok...
Sometimes I even forget he has a tail
He has a fucking tail?
1:02 "I'll, uhhhh, pick someone random like 'this guy right here.'"
You better respect him, young man.
While you were explaining the spin charge, he would go into his crouch position. I never realized how much he wags his tail. Like I knew it was there but I never thought of it as something that moves weirdly enough.
You know theirs some shit u just say right. This this is one of em.

Lot's of things worth mentioning I'm not sure you forgot or just don't know:
- Another way to "Charge shot": While charging, flick your left stick up and press B once. Just once, if you press it twice you'll Spring out of the arc (which can also be used as some kind of a "get out" mixup.
- 10:40 This is a variation of "Vertical Spindash Jump", in which you press A while charging spindash. The result is exactly the same, the only real difference is you do this one out of Spincharcge, so technically it's a "Vertical Spincharge Jump". Also, note that these two techs have a hitbox *only while rising* and they always send the opponent in front of you, so it's best to use it while the opponent's falling in order to force an option and frame trap him, while the opponent's at a platform on top of you so you can pressure him and A-Cancel with an UpAir, or at ledge in order to ledgetrap your opponent at jump.
- 18:40 It's not necessary to use C-Stick for that one. It's useful, but it's not comfortable. You can alternatively tap A to Spinshot, same as in Smash 4, only in this game you have to wait for the full charge, so it's harder a timing. If you go straight up (Vertical Spindash Jump or just total fail) or don't jump at all, you're doing it too soon, while if you jump without momentum you're doing it too late. When Spinshooting, you use your doublejump, so be careful of going too deep.
Sorry for late posting, it's 21:00 (-04:00 GMT) here and I just arrived home
Awesome, thanks for the additional info!!!
It’s not working

Why add the stupid "no one:" before your comment? It's way better without it, and doesn't add value.

Finally, a guide for people who want to play like you. Good job and continue.
22:30 THAT HAPPENS TO ME ALOT, NOW I KNOW WHY
007ghost same omg now I know
Me too
Very useful information.

I’ve been looking forward to this
Jah Jah rocket? Isn't it jeh jeh rocket?
ALSO YES RUSH IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONIC GAMES
Haha you're right, I'll go in and fix that now, thanks xD
That's cool lol
Finally a guide thank you clockwork. Was wondering when you will join a tournement? Showing your sick skills
Joining a tournament is definitely something I need to look into! Thanks for watching!
Been waiting for this! You explain really well so I cant wait to play this back again and again to increase my skill level. Your confidence and great commentary is contagious. Thanks Cw!
Let’s pick a random character, and a random stage:
Picks Mario and Green hill zone
Random:
Am I a joke to you?
Amazing guide Clockwork! Though a quick FYI for everyone else, I accidentally found out you can also quickly/safely exit a Side-B by just pressing the Grab button. This triggers a jump cancel similar to the one from the Down-B. It might not be as quick as the method you showed, but it's definitely easier to perform!
Great info, thanks!
Yes! I am so here for this!
This was a great guide and I'm excited to practice these techs. You're the best! I'm very much looking forward your recovery and spike guides.
This was a great help. I have been trying to play him. And I didn’t know what the difference of the moves are. So thanks man
Awesome. Recently started playing Sonic so I’ve been watching your videos for ideas but it is nice to hear the full explanation. Thanks for doing this.
I really liked the description on how to spinshot! Every tutorial ive seen makes it seem to complicated input wise, so its nice to see a simple way to do it
This tutorial is frankly amazing!! It’s so good to get such advanced tips and combos that we don’t hear and see from anywhere else! Great job!
Thank you so much! I really need this I am definitely going to watch all of them
Finally, I was waiting for a guide from this channel, the best sonic main I can learn from to play better.
As a sonic main, and this being published on my birthday. I feel grateful. Thanks for the video man
I always wondered why my spin dashes didn't have a multi-hit attack and its because I completely forgot about his down-b lmaoooooo.
Thanks man
Thank you so much!!! I would pay you for a private lesson with sonic. You should consider doing that as well my friend!
Thank you!
Bro, this might be it. This tech might be the thing that makes me switching my main to sonic because I love playing with him but I didn't get as much results as with PT in tournaments. I love your videos man, big fan right here!
This is great. Love the simple and complete explanation backed up with real use footage.
Hey clockwork, I've been maining sonic for a few months after I started watching some of your videos, I love all of your content! Also I use the same control scheme, and it works great on most characters
Wow Clockwork really great guide! I always have a lot of trouble controlling myself in spindash/charge and I usually end up leaving myself open but this guide was really helpful! Also my offstage Sonic gameplay is pretty garbage so these techniques are SO useful! You are also the first person that tells you EXACTLY how to use spinshot! THANK YOU! I might actually be able to learn it now!
This is one of the most useful and informative Sonic videos I've seen. Thanks for taking your time and effort to teaching others this cool character :P
PART 2 PLEASE!!! I LOVE THIS GUIDE SO MUCH ALREADY!!
Exactly what I wanted, excited for part 2 :D
Awesome guide Clockwork!!
I've learnt so much more now about the properties of Spin-Dash & Spin-Charge.
Even more so than I previously.
Such a great guide.
I cannot wait for your Part 2 alright.
Thank you, I'm glad I was able to help!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE DAY YOU MAKE YOUR FIRST SONIC GUIDE VIDEO!!!!!!
This is super useful for non-Sonic players, too! Thank you, this character's moveset confused me.
Hey Clockwork, this tutotial was very enlightening so thank you. For the Charge Shot, you don't need to only down tilt, you can do any tilt that you find convenient in the moment. That's the only thing I wanted to say :D Thanks, Gotta Go Fast!
Clockwork! Love your vids man! Just wanted to let you know that the charge hop can be used to get out of Sonic's side b as well. While charging up side b just hit the a button to make Sonic do the charge hop. This can be used to do quick turnarounds off of stages as well. Keep up the good work!
This is a really great guide on Down B and Side B! It’s great just like all the videos you’ve made and will make! Keep it up dude, can’t wait for part 2! 👍 🔵💨
Also I released my fifth montage on my channel! You can watch it if you want to: th-cam.com/video/LsWn6BDSr4Q/w-d-xo.html
Clockwork is an amazing sonic player! Thanks for the tutorial!
Your commentary/guide videos are so fun/informational. Please do more, because I am garbage a sonic, and I love him.
I tried some of ur tips and it got me clips for my next montage so thanks man keep it up
Wow falcon didn't deserve that much disrespect, but I love it.
Finally! If anyone should teach Sonic, it’s you.
Okay this was very informative, like I knew some of this, but, i never really did it properly, more of an accident, like spin shot. Cant wait for part 2 clock :3
i dont even main sonic but this video was just very detailed and interesting i genuinely enjoyed it thank you for putting time into it keep up the amazing work !
I HAVE ASCENDED! This is gonna take my Sonic to a whole new level! Learning how to spike with Sonic would be great too. Hope you’re doing well man, keep ripping it up!
Thanks!
@@ClockworkVideos Side B Spin Dash is a reference to Sonic CD's spin dash.
Thank you all the tips are super helpful. Sonic is my main but I'm no where hear as good as you, keep up the good work
You just earned a new subscriber with this video! I love it!
Do more parts bruh! I really like Sonic but I dunno how to use it, i’m sure Your guides will helping me out, thanks❤️
YES! WE NEED MORE LIKE THIS
Great video! A lot of it, I already knew but the rest was new!
I already know a bunch of this stuff, but I really appreciate good Sonic guides like this. And I said I knew most, I didn't know about the Spin Charge jump to quickly get off stage to surprise your oopponents or using Spin Dash to turn around in the air to use Bair. Useful stuff. And I sometimes did the jumping in place on stage with Spin Charge but need to do it more.
It was Super helpful thanks to that i Improved stuff that I know and learned stuff that I didn't know thanks man very appreciated keep uploading those tutorials they are huge help
Congratulations for the guide! Your explanation of the diferences between the spins and the advanced techs gave me more interest on making Sonic my main again! One thing I'd like to point out is that Sonic can jump two times before letting go of the fully charged Spin Dash. If you simply charge until it hits yellow, you can still jump two times before Sonic let go of the Spin Dash charging animation. This gives more movement options, and can also pressure the opponent for more time.
I'll have to watch this video over and over, but it's necessary and I'll take notes
Charge Shot is essentially the Spin Jump technique from Sonic Adventure, when you charge a spinach and then max jump to clear big ass gaps
Great Guide man! Vercy concise and precise! Cheers
I don’t even own a switch and I can’t play smash but I rly enjoy your vids and quality. Keep at it!
These Tips Are Super Helpful. Thanks Dude Much Love🖤
I could have used this video 3 years ago when Sonics were bodying me in bracket every week. Better late than never! Thank you so much for the info!
Hey man, your biggest fan here ;)
Thanks for this vid, I knew a lot of it with me being a sonic main as well, but I did learn some things, thank you dude.
oh my goodness, yes, I needed this badly!
I just love that you used Sonic Rush OST for the background music, well except for the last one
It's great to see you doing a guide on Sonic since you're my inspiration for getting better with the Blue Blur. I often find myself using Down B more for combo setups but I think I should start using Side B offensively since I tend to use it for recovery only (Uncharged Side-B to the stage, double jump and Up B). I didn't know Side B had I-Frames, I'll take advantage of that against zoning characters.
I already knew about using the Charge Shot but never really incorporated it into offstage play, those clips gave me some ideas. Can't wait for part 2, until then I'll try to use some of these techniques when I play with Sonic.
FINALLY A SONIC GUIDE
We've Been Waiting
Good tutorial! WE'llbe waiting for the onther one
You have no idea how helpful this is.
Amazing guide ! I allready knew most of those techs but didn't know how to execute them precisely, thank you. For part 2 I think showing how to perform the B-reverse homing attack would be neat, I never use this 'cauz I'm not consistent with it and end up homing to my death lol
Clockwork I became a good sonic player beacuse of you and this video showed me a couple of new tricks to use now thank you for showing me how to play sonic.
12:45 That spike to Cap. Falcon bro
I literally choked on my breakfast laughing when I saw this too
totally deserved. Wish it was Ness more tho.
All that's next is a tourney video and or a collab with other Smash Tubers. Great video man. Keep it up 💪🏼💯🙏😎
Thanks! Getting into the tournament scene is definitely something I want to look into!
Aspiring sonic main, and this is helping me a lot. Thanks!
YES THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED
Yay now I can improve my sonic skills thx G
A tip for the spin shot, when sonic is moving backwards while you charge side b, wait until he is as far back as he can be (without turning yellow) then release side b and slam your c stick (or whatever you use ) down at the same time.
THANK YOU 🙏 FOR GIVING SONIC A BREAK FROM BEING TEASED FOR HIS DOWN AND SIDE SPECIALS GEEZ 🙄
Awesome! This is gonna help so much!
Really love the detailed information
Great Video Clockwork! Hopefully I catch you sometime on Elite Smash!
Thank you! 💪🏼
You've help me a Lot! ☺️
You didn't miss anything Clockwork , finally i can know sonic recover technique thanks
I didn't know about Spin Shot, thank you really much!
Nice tutorial btw, maybe a bit long but useful for all Sonic main ^^
the madman finally did it. Thank you.
Thank you for the tips and also you are the reason why I like to play Sonic in Super Smash Bros ultimate
This is actually pretty helpful thx man
Hey dude, been watching all the Sonic vids since "400 hours with Sonic", man.. My friends hate me now haha. Nowhere near as good, but good enough to upset my mates while I play Sonic. Cheers :D
Me too, im gpod enough to upset my friends
@@zacariasvelazquez8400 Easily the most fun character to play once you learn some versitility
I upset my brothers with him in Brawl and they was using sword characters
Yo you gotta mention launch trajectory differences at low, mid, high percents on light, medium, and heavy opponents. There's some true combos with spin charge and spin dash that you could talk about.
•Spin Charge: medium opponent / 70-88ish% - full spin charge, double jump, forward air
•Spin Charge: heavy / 20-50%ish - full spin charge, jump and wait till right above opponent, down air
•Spin Dash: medium / 70ish? - full spin dash, wait till just after hit on ground, jump, up b, up air
etc....
The launch trajectory of both moves is super important.
Great video!
Amazing info, thanks for commenting this!!!
@@ClockworkVideos Fo sho! Out of the Sonic guides that are out there, not sure if anyone covers these points. I leave it in your capable hands!
I use alot of Spin Jump to avoid danger so thank you so much for this technique
People say how basic Sonic's moveset is... it's true, but that's what makes Sonic so customisable in the game. You could really go with just about any play style as him. Ask Kels, Sonix, or 6WX and they will all tell you different ways of how they play the fighter. Very interesting.
Nice guide! Your Sonic is so dang scary! I'd hate to come across it in Elite Smash someday! ^^'
This video is a great help thank you very much
