Auron has probably dropped too, yeah. That performance on Geralt was fairly bad but Geralt was getting at least lightly rallied and you could maybe try to make some kind of bandwagoning argument.

I trust Sub-Zero to be pretty stable though and Auron's results on him this year weren't good!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2546-time-division-round-2-auron-vs-sub-zero for what Peak Auron's supposed to do to Subby. This year, Sonic's barely projected to even outdo this.

I don't think Sonic ever fully recovered from Sonic 2006. For every Colors or Generations that people thought were pretty good there's an absolute bomb like Forces or Boom to draw more ire. I don't think this affects the secondary characters quite as badly; they don't carry the weight of that franchise's failures like the guy it's named after does. Mania was by all accounts great but it might be too little, too late for many -- and while Sonic's an icon, his games have never done great here.

Fourway Sonic sucked. 2010 Sonic barely outdid Luigi on Link, got an SFF match with Knuckles, an lol match with Lightning before her game was out in the west (he did worse on her than Dante did this year though!), and beat Kirby and Bacondorf. At the time people were happy Sonic didn't actually lose to the latter two, especially after Kirby had beat him in 2008. But he didn't outdo Bowser's number on Kirby this year by much and a relatively poorly-performing Mega Man this year slapped Bacondorf down a good deal harder despite the latter in theory having Breath of the Wild going for him. It's possible that 1-on-1 Kirby and Ganondorf (or at least Bacondorf) just weren't and aren't quite the quality opponents we figured they were. There's not much good information on Sonic in 2013 thanks to his 9pack generally either being newcomers or of unknown strength and then he ran into Mewtwo.

Point is, Sonic 2006 hit just after Sonic's last match in 2006 and I don't think he's ever looked quite the same since.
