Sonic (SSB4): Difference between revisions

**{{buff|Forward throw's hitboxes have a longer duration (frame 10 → 10-11).}}

**{{buff|The hitboxes are larger (2.5u/2u → 4u/3u).}}

**{{nerf|The hitboxes deal less damage (3% (hit)/9% (total) → 1% (hit)/7%).}}

**{{nerf|The hitboxes deal more hitlag (1x → 1.5x), making the throw slower to execute and easier to DI.}}

**{{change|Sonic releases his opponent from forward throw one frame later (frame 11 → 12).}}

**{{buff|The throw deals much more knockback (60 (base), 70 (scaling) → 70/100), now being a viable KO option when used on a [[platform]] on tournament legal stages.}}

**{{nerf|Back throw deals less damage (8% → 7%).}}  

**{{buff|Back throw has increased knockback scaling (60 → 79), improving its KO potential despite its lower damage.}}

**{{nerf|Up throw deals less damage (3% (hit)/9% (throw)/12% (total) → 1%/5%/6%). The hitbox's knockback scaling was mostly compensated (120 → 180), slightly hindering its KO potential.}}

**{{nerf|The hitbox has more startup lag with a shorter duration (frames 21-27 → 22-27).}}

**{{nerf|The hitbox deals more hitlag (1x → 1.5x), making the throw slower to execute and easier to DI.}}

**{{nerf|The throw has increased base knockback (65 → 92), hindering its followup potential at lower percents.}}

***{{nerf|Additionally, while the throw does also have increased knockback scaling (70 → 80), this fails to compensate for the throw's lower damage, hindering its KO potential.}}  

**{{buff|The throw launches opponents at a higher angle (100° → 92°). When combined with the changes to hitstun canceling/DI, this noticeably improves its combo potential despite its higher base knockback.}}

**{{nerf|Down throw deals less damage (5% (throw)/8% (total) → 4%/7%).}}  

**{{buff|Down throw has increased knockback scaling (30 → 35), marginally improving its KO potential despite its lower damage.}}
