v1.1
OVERVIEW
This patch pretty much nerfs Sonic. Also, this is his last balance change before a MAJOR rework.
GENERAL CHANGES
-GREATLY decreased initial dash speed.
*Sonic’s “downhurt” sprite is now properly aligned.
+Sonic now is Kirby compatible. Sonic gives Kirby his Down Special. He also has a little hud icon for Kirby.
===
GROUNDED ATTACKS
DTILT
-Dtilt no longer hits behind you, and hits in front of you.
+Dtilt has less knockback, and has better combo potential.
I’m gonna be honest, I’m gonna rework this move in his next major update. This move is useless
UTILT
-Increased startup and endlag.
+Lifetime of the hitbox has been increased by 2 frames.
+Does more damage(4 > 5).
+Does less knockback scaling( .45 > .4). This allows it to combo more.
===
AERIAL ATTACKS
FAIR
*The sweetspot of the move (the spike) now has a different sound effect.
-Damage of sourspot is weakened. (7 > 5)
-Damage of sweetspot is weakened. (9 > 6)
-Increased startup and endlag.
-Increased landing lag.
UAIR
+-Hitbox adjusted to match the animation. This new hitbox hits more above Sonic, and less in front of him.
DAIR
+- Dair now has a sourspot.
+- Dair now sends directly down at a 270 angle rather than a 290 angle.
-Increased startup.
BAIR
-Increased startup.
-Increased endlag.
-Increased landing lag.
===
STRONG ATTACKS
FSTRONG
+Fstrong now gives Sonic a bit of horizontal movement when he uses it. Not much, but a little bit.
DSTRONG
+Dstrong now has two hitboxes. One in front, one behind.
USTRONG
+Ustrong is now a multihit move, similar to Sonic’s Up Smash in Brawl, SSB4, and Ultimate.
===
SPECIALS
NSPCEIAL
I’m not gonna put changes here but I just wanna say that this move has pretty much no synergy with Sonic’s entire kit whatsoever
FSPECIAL
+-Fspecial reverted to how it worked in day 1. This means you can’t spam it in the air.
-Sweetspot is harder to hit with.
-Sweetspot does not put the opponent into Clairen stun anymore. This makes the move pretty much useless, but that’s what his eventual rework is for.
DSPECIAL
+- HG_FINAL_BASE_KNOCKBACK was added.
-Increased endlag.
