I've recently been messing around with reverse homing attack -> landing nair instead of landing up air. It's trickier to land (you have to drift towards them the opponent), but MUCH more rewarding.
Great vid! About the last part, I'm not sure the reverse one is safer : if you hit the shield / parry, you land closer and become more punishable, although the normal H-A hitting the shield can also be punished (against characters like mewtwo (f-air) it's deadly at high percentage because there's no time to air dodge, he can also follow up). And if the opponent spot dodges, rolls, or runs during the attack, you then hit the ground in either case, which is so laggy (you become vulnerable to a strong dash, even smash sometimes... Well, I admit landing further with reverse H-A is safer, still very laggy). But if you indeed fall offstage or in the air it's safer (assuming the opponent can't edgeguard).
According to ultimateframedata.com/sonic.php, the homing attack has -16 to -22 on shield. Parry gives a 3 frames advantage, which means any attack that takes 19 to 25 frames after parrying can punish Sonic if it has good enough reach. I think that H-A is too risky VS some characters, and in that case it's better to not use it unless we are almost sure it will connect (reading the opponent helps), or if the opponent has no way to punish a missed HA. Still a good move if used properly. Also, seems like the reverse HA + up air + grab combo doesn't work on heavy characters. You have to turn around before grabbing.
I'm just gone say it I personally think that Sonic has the best looking back-air in the game, the charge up and powerful release and that was hard to say cause I like the Spacies back-airs
I've everyone played Sonic the way you do he'd be getting a way better rep from the community. Granted an equally large part of the problem is 2/3 of his moves are generic punches and kicks or just ball, but it's a start.

You'll never guess what his get-up attack is going to be.

Even if you hit parry you have 8 frames of advantage. He made a different vid on that.
