Thank you for this really helpful tutorial. (:
If people learned matchups like you do, they wouldn't be so much Sonic (or any character) hate to begin with.

Thank god I hate playing sonic, almost feels like i would do better if I put my controller down. Thanks for the video!

This week's Summer of Matchups covers Sonic! In this guide, you'll learn that Spin Dash isn't nearly as oppressive as a move against Greninja compared to other characters. See the description for additional resources, such as ways to optimize clanks and the full Spin on shield mixup tree chart!
