===Tier placement and history=== | |||
Sonic was initially perceived as a high-tier character, thanks to his buffs largely mitigating most of the weaknesses he had in ''Brawl''. While his newfound KOing options would be nerfed in game updates, Sonic's playerbase has nevertheless managed to display many different and effective playstyles. In addition to enriching Sonic's metagame, the likes of {{Sm|6WX}}, {{Sm|KEN}}, {{Sm|komorikiri}}, {{Sm|Seagull Joe}}, and {{Sm|SuperGirlKels}} have also resulted in him achieving very strong tournament results leading the general consensus to believe that Sonic is one of the best characters in the game. | |||
Sonic's highly favorable perception and continued success resulted in him being ranked 6th on the first and second iterations of the [[tier list]] and then 5th on the third tier list as he continued to perform well at most tournaments with {{Sm|KEN}} placing 2nd at [[2GGC: MkLeo Saga]] while defeating top players such as {{Sm|T}}, {{Sm|Raito}}, {{Sm|Elegant}}, {{Sm|Captain L}}, {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, {{Sm|Lima}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Nairo}}, and {{Sm|MkLeo}} as well as {{Sm|Manny}}, {{Sm|Wrath}}, {{Sm|6WX}}, {{Sm|komorikiri}}, {{Sm|Sonido}}, {{Sm|SuperGirlKels}}, and {{Sm|Jakal}} continuing to perform well with him. | |||
Although Sonic dropped to 7th/8th on the fourth and final tier list and is now tied with Fox, his ranking is debatable. Some players, such as {{Sm|MKLeo}} {{Sm|ESAM}}, {{Sm|ANTi}}, {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|Dabuz}}, believe that he should be ranked slightly higher. Conversely, {{Sm|Salem}} and others view Sonic as overrated to the point of not being a top-tier character in spite of his tournament success in the tournament, with a primary argument being his unfavorable matchup with {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}. Regardless, Sonic remains a massive threat in competitive play and continues to gain consistent results. | |||
