    There are two types of feelings I receive from Sonic's up-b:
    The sinister satisfaction of gimping someone with the spring, and the rush of adrenaline I get when my opponent accidentally jumps on my spring and puts them in a position for an up-air off the top.

    Using side B to recover is actually a game changer because helps to not get edge guarded as often... Definitely need to practice my spin shot and some wall jumps... Thanks a lot bro

      Thanks for watching, I'm glad I was able to help! I used to use Side B offstage to recover all the time, but I just recently learned that Down B is actually better to use. I talk about it at 4:16 if you're interested in seeing why!

    I feel like sonic has one of the best recoveries in the game. He has spring into airdodge, spinshot, and even homing attack in certain scenarios. I'm bad at recovering and this character kinda nullifies that, I love sonic lol

    Learning how to wall jump in Smash Ultimate
    Using F-Air & B-Air boosts your recovery distance, horizontally
    Using Side-B & Down-B without a double jump off stage results in an SD
    Soooo many different factors of playing Sonic, I truly didn't know existed, up until now, when watching this video! Thanks Clockwork!!
    Using Sonic will become much, much easier now.
    Especially when attempting to return to the stage, & mixing up recovery options.

    @juanluisromero7 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another recovery which is kinda risky but helpful in some situations is to simply use his homing attack to go straight to your opponent while your off the stage, if you aren’t facing your opponent though you might just dash off into oblivion but it helps when getting edge guarded cause you can just instantly hit them.
