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.

4:35 whaaaat you went under the whole stage! That’s so impressive!

[Couldntbeme]

5:03 helped me out so much, I’ve lost many many matches cause I couldn’t act out of a roll and I couldn’t figure out why

[carlossolorzano]

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

[TripleTuner]

I love how sonic's Ide animation comes out at just the right time, every time you make a point :D

[ricky]

These videos help me learn way more as a sonic player, I’ve been able to make elite smash with sonic thanks to your vids, can’t wait to try new tricks I learn from these vids

[dewdropp]

Watching these guides in conjunction with SGK's and Lyco's tech guides really helps to make the most out of optimizing Sonic

[cristianschannel]

Wow! Didn't know about wall jump to air dodge! Thanks!

[rain_]

Already a new guide? This shows how good Clockwork is.

[DreadedxSaiyan]

So many useful things about his recovery that I never knew about. Thanks again Clock!

[SamIsDyspo]

Wow what an amazing guide! It’s honestly quite useful for anyone that is struggling with Sonic’s recovery, or just the character in general! It’s an awesome video just like all of your videos are and will be! Keep it up! 😃👍 🔵💨

[shush]

I was not expecting this one to come out so soon after the first one!

[SBBFDlightoverlord]

Even though I knew some of these tips there are some I didn't know such as using Spin Charge to go from one side of FD to another or using Sonic's F-Air/B-air to increase his horizontal movement. Anyway thanks for the tips Clockwork, I'll try to incorporate these into my Sonic play

[Captain]

My Sonic haves been sloppy 😃 hey i bet this guide Clockwork made would help me remember again.

[Chawon]

Yes, another sonic guide!
Just keep it up good works!

[vladc]

Incredibly useful, i learned actually a lot and i’m a pretty capable Sonic. Thanks and keep these up!

[Phoeniixx]

Nice video, but I've already learned this from your montages, which are amazing btw, keep up the good work

[Isaac_E_M]

Everytime I watch one of your videos I say wow I'm gonna do this. I proceed to get bodied as Sonic and then the cycle continues. It's good practise though as I'm slowly improving from your guides

[OfficialDestelax]

Thanks a lot man, please continue making this type of vids <3
