| abstract | - Sonic is a playable veteran character in Super Smash Flash 2. Unlike the Super Smash Bros. games, he is not the only representative of the Sonic franchise — he is joined by his sidekick Tails. Most of his moveset is taken directly from Super Smash Bros. Brawl and his voice clips also come from said game. His sprites are based on his modern appearance, which includes Sonic Generations and Sonic Lost World. Sonic is currently ranked 29th of C tier on the current tier list; switching places with Sora, he has dropped 28 places in total from last demo's tier list. Sonic has fast attacks, useful techniques, decent combo ability, a good grab game and K.O. moves in his forward smash, up and back aerials, and Light Dash. Sonic has great ground mobility with having the fastest dashing speed in the game and fast walking speed. Sonic has an average recovery with multiple recovery options in Spring Jump, Homing Attack and Light Dash. However, Sonic has his flaws in that he has short range in the majority of his attacks, that also lack a lot of priority, and that makes him vulnerable to characters with disjointed hitboxes (ex. Meta Knight and Ichigo) or characters with high priority. He lacks a projectile and reliable ways to deal with them especially projectiles that are high in priority or transcendent. Sonic may have problems KO'ing his opponents due to having few KO moves. His pros are vastly overlooked by his inadequacies and that is why he second to last. Sonic appears to have a small player base and lackluster representation in online tournaments. Sonic normally places low to mid in tournaments that his mains participate in.
