True Blue Sonic (Rush Sonic)

True Blue Sonic speeds into battle, with some new tricks! With his Sonic Boost and Spring Tricks, Sonic is sure to keep opponents on their toes! He may be a little on the light side, but his movement is fast and funky enough to keep him alive.

____________________________


Neutral Special: Sonic Wave
Sonic curls up in a ball and launches a slow moving projectile. Position yourself to intercept the opponent as they avoid it or get hit. It passes through the corners of the stage too, so try short hopping before Sonic Wave to disrupt recovering opponents.

Side Special: Boost
This move deals no damage, but it nearly doubles Sonic's running speed and provides some soft armor. Use it to chase opponents, or dash away if you need some breathing room. Watch your Tension Gauge at the bottom of the screen, and attack opponents to replenish it. Some attacks recover more Tension than others, but if you keep up the pressure and perform air tricks when you can, you shouldn't have to worry.

Up Special: Spring
Launch high in the air with a spring. If used on the ground, the spring remains in place and can be used again, and in the air it falls as a projectile. Additionally, after jumping off a spring, Sonic's aerial attacks are replaced with spring tricks. Spring tricks provide a quick boost in any cardinal direction, but only his forward spring trick and down spring trick are capable of dealing damage. If Sonic is currently capable of performing a spring trick, the star on the Tension Gauge will light up. Sonic can also perform midair taunts off a spring to quickly regain Tension.

Down Special: Spin Dash
Hold it down to rev up and launch. Can be used in the air to surprise foes, or for an unexpected chase from far away. The charge can also be used after a boost for tricky midair movement.

Extra notes:

Sonic's jump and dash attack are influenced by boosting and can cover more distance that way.

If Sonic takes a heavy hit, he flies away with a stream of rings. These are merely cosmetic and don't affect gameplay.

If you start boosting and dashing on the same frame, Sonic begins his dash with a short leap forward.

Between the normal Sonic costumes and Metal Sonic costume, Sonic has a total of ten unique lines for his taunt.

Upon death, Sonic regains a full bar of his Tension Gauge. The Tension Gauge can loop on itself three times before it's full.

The fastest way to refill the Tension Gauge is with Tricks. Try taunting in the air to regain a little boost, or do it off a spring to chain multiple Tricks in a row.
