Mark the Echidna Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 This is so awesome. Everything except: "Sawnik is my name and speed is my game" I hope we can change audio to Japanese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxSonic Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Okay, so here's what I'm thinking about him so far. I think his recovery move pulls that spring out of nowhere and shoots him in the air. Not only is he packing speed, but power as well. You'll notice him throwing Bowser and Donkey Kong around the field. I think his primary weakness will be keeping him ON the stage. He's probably pretty light and easy to throw around, and with all that speed, he's bound to run off the edge eventually. Looks like an interesting new character who doesn't have a sword. I don't think there should be any more Sonic characters playable, but maybe Tails or Eggman as an assist trophy. And Green Hill Zone would be the perfect stage for him too.

Slingerland Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Yes...I'd LOVE to play Green Hill Zone... AGAIN! AND AGAIN! Surprise me with a different stage, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hRook Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 This is so awesome. Everything except:"Sawnik is my name and speed is my game" That would have been badass in the 90s. Sonic was badass in the 90s. He's freakin' Sonic... it works. I think Sonic is going to be a very Fox-esque character, tbh. He seems to boast the ability to not only move fast, but change direction quick. His attacks probably don't provide a lot of single-hit punch, but he makes up for it in the sheer amount of attacks he can pull off in a short time. He'll definitely have a lot of options for zoning. He's not going to have a projectile though, and odds are he'll be light. Also, I hope he's a fast faller. He probably won't be though, considering they added the Power Stoney dive kick in there.

Pheonix Gamma Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Yes...I'd LOVE to play Green Hill Zone...AGAIN! AND AGAIN! Surprise me with a different stage, please. Casino stage Or perhaps a Death Egg stage with flipping gravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 That sounded so racist it isnt even funny. How in the hell did that sound racist? So I guess Dark Samus is racist too, right? You know, her being the color 'black', and a "rip-off" of Samus. You knew what he meant, stop trying to cause a scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blyde Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 "Shadow, go destroy the black creatures!" etc. Yeah, as much as Green Hill Zone is cool, um...there are...other stages to use...maybe?! And I'm on the same boat as Sage: his speed offsets his lack of heavy hitting, lighter, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxSonic Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Green hill zone is pretty much the stage most people associate with Sonic. However, since SA2, there have been a lot of references to it. City escape would be another good stage considering that they are using the SA2 theme song. Other ones would be Hidden Palace Zone or Sky Sanctuary. What about Doomsday Zone, where you start off with the giant Egg-Mech attacking in the background, and then the stage breaks off into space, with meteors crashing into the stage, occasionally dropping items. Then finally Eggman's robot flies by, shooting homing missiles and dropping bombs. You'll be able to tear off his armor, and even make him drop the Master Emerald if you're good enough.

1LT Worm Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I wouldn't mind the Egg Carrier or maybe Metal Harbor. And, of course, Chemical Plant. But that's a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slingerland Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 NO DOOMSDAY WE ALREADY HAVE AN OUTER SPACE STAGE. Chemical Plant or Death Egg, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 They look to be going for a new age theme, so probably Emerald Coast, since it was in Adventure and 2k6. I don't really care, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hRook Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Sonic's the name, speed's his game. I say Speed Highway. It's got bitchin' music too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Emerald Coast wouldn't be bad at all. Or even Mystic Ruins. Doesn't matter though, Sonic is confirmed and I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowgoten Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 What do you guys think his alternate costume options will be? And snake for that matter (I hope old man snake is one option ) EDIT: Wow just saw the new update, special moves for sonic. He's so simple, yet I have a feeling that he can get so ridiculously crazy simply by chaining an asinine amount of moves together in one string. Also, grats on calling the spring jump as the Up B move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 This is truly the greatest week EVER. Days off college, Sonic in Brawl... I think Speed Highway would be a great choice. I wish you could import your own music into the game... I can imagine: "Lylat Cruise...IN SPAAACE!" The power Rangers in space theme for you who do not understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 TRD, i was so obviously not serious. And yeah, the coolest ability for sonic seems to be the ability to VERY quickly change direction. And Sonic hasnt been protrayed as a HEDGEHOG since the last 2D sidescroller on 32x (Or Sega CD, whichever came first). Sonic hasnt be able to utulize his spindash or roll attack for ANYTHING useful, and im so glad they've decided to root him again and let him rape it up in ball form. If anything, hes GOING to have Green Hill Zone and a carnival/casino stage with all the bumpers and stuff on it. But more importantly, im interested in his Adventure Mode stages. If Nintendo can pwn sega at their own character, then they need to let NINTENDO develop the next sonic games. I dont know why i keep thinking sega can do it better. Nintendo obviously has way better programmers and work ethic than sega and sonic team these days. I guess since they fell out of competition they stopped trying as hard. But anyway, sonic looks so awesome in action and the way he controls that he'll most likely be one of my favorites. That, and the spindash animation just looks so awesome.

Pheonix Gamma Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 So his special moves are shown. Don't like his up B (now that I know it's definately the sping jump, I'd prefer something akin to Samus' up and there's a big focus on spinning, so it's not that varied.

tentril Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Wait, you'd rather he have a move like the screw attack for his up B, but you don't like that his focus is spinning? i can has bad logicz plz? I like his moves, because more than one spinny attack just doubles the fun for me. I loved rolling around as Yoshi or Jiggly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
