Sonic vs Palutena

In the matchup against Palutena, Sonic should focus on avoiding her powerful hitboxes, particularly her down smash and aerials, as they can easily disrupt his momentum. Utilize Sonic’s speed to bait out her moves, especially her neutral aerial, and punish her lag with quick attacks like forward tilt or back air. When engaging in neutral, try to avoid getting caught by her side special, which can lead to significant damage; instead, approach with safe options like spin dashes and mix-ups to keep her guessing. Always be mindful of her teleport recovery, as you can capitalize on her landing lag if she misses her spacing.
