Problem with Egg Viper?

[BlueCollarFurry]

When I try to do the thing where to homing-attacking the joints, the impact happend (you can the explosion when you hit the first node) but Sonic just falls through instead of boncing off so i can repeat the attack on the next joint.

I've tried and died so many times I've lost track and it happens every time.

happened to me, try waiting a bit before attacking

If wait to long he launches his attack and the pattern repeats.

When Eggman's Egg Viper backs up, he'll laugh; but when he says "See if you can make it through here, Sonic" is when the joints are ready to attack.

In short, after he laughs, when he says "See--" that's when you start your homing attacks. You should easily hit him before he attacks (Eggman will have just said "Sonic" when you hit the cockpit)

A tip to defeating Egg Viper: When you are going to attack, wait for Eggman to say "See if you can make it through here sonic!" then he will place the Egg Vipers tail at you. Homing Attack the 3 yellowe things then his cockpit. HE should go "GAH" then you should have attacked him

But you see, my issue is that the first one and and Sonic falls through instead of boncing off, even though can clear see from the damage animation that the attack is connecting.

Are you sure you're not attacking too early?
You have to wait until he starts to say "See if you can make it through here, Sonic".

But, if you attack before that (while he's laughing), the tail and the lights will be there, but they won't be working right.
It's only when he starts the above taunt, that the hitboxes are fully working, and you'll bounce up after you homing attack them.
