Why couldn't this be in the Sonic thread? ._.
I'm merging them.
Also, Brawl has been delayed to February 10th, 2008 in North America.

I was thinking that all the fake sonic's are clones, thats why I added robotnic to the prediction in his little egg thingy.

I do have to say that it would be nice to use fake sonic's as a costume for sonic with the same move sets, that would be very good!

Re: [SSBB] What are you hoping for to go with Sonic?

I wouldn't bank on Metal Sonic or Shadow, they're trying to avoid clones. Metal Sonic isn't that well-known anyways (Sonic 2's was Silver Sonic, and Sonic and Knuckles's was Mecha Sonic; Metal Sonic has only appeared in Sonic CD, Knuckles's Chaotix, Sonic R, and in SA2: Battle but only for 2-player mode. Of those, the only well-known game is SA2: Battle.) Although Shadow can be differentiated from Sonic, Metal Sonic is supposed to be a clone character.

That and there's so many other Sonic characters they could put in that would make more interesting fighters gameplay-wise than Shadow (Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, Vector, Espio...)

I wouldn't count on Eggman too much either since he can't do anything without some sort of vehicle, and he's mainly projectile-based in Sonic Adventure 2.

As for stages, Sky Sanctuary Zone from Sonic 3 and Knuckles, although Casino Night Zone would be fantastic. But if we go with something from the Dreamcast era, I'd hope for Windy Valley or Meteor Herd.

Re: [SSBB] What are you hoping for to go with Sonic?

yeah I see Metal Sonic or Egg Man as an enemy, but who knows *shrugs*

Re: [SSBB] What are you hoping for to go with Sonic?

Metal sonic is probably going to pop in as an ememy, though robotnic makes a lot more sence.

Problem is the new games have classes him in some smaller walking robots.

Might see him in his origenal "egg" that poped out from his big creations when you destroyed them ala-Sonic1,2,3. give him limited flying like kirby and give his egg some arms.

[SSBB] What are you hoping for to go with Sonic?

As far as areas go, since it seems like they're using his SA(2?) form, I'm thinking it will be something in that...

The Ark would be an odd choice, imo, although it could make for an interesting stage (Think, the part where the gravity is switched around). It could also be done in the room that contained the Bio-lizard, those orbs could make the fights interesting. Actually the most logical place for a fight to me is the Forest, but then that would be a bit too DK-esque.

I'm also hoping that one of Sonic's rivals shows up as a challenger, although hopefully not as a clone (such as Metal Sonic or Shadow)

Robotnik could make an interesting enemy, although his machines would probably be too bulky for most of the stages. Tails wouldn't be an enemy, but it could make for some interesting battle moves (mostly with the tail)

Re: Sonic Confirmed for Brawl, Remaining Nerds Explode

I figure they could give Mega Man his buster plus a few boss powers, and have Rush Beat and Tango as assist trophies maybe?

Unless those 3 are his specials... still, if you count Powered UP and Rockman & Forte we have a grand total of 96 boss weapons to choose from, plus the misc powers...

yeesh.

Re: Sonic Confirmed for Brawl, Remaining Nerds Explode

NO FUCKING WAY.

afk, I need some tissues.

Shit. I owe all those people who said "If Snake is in, Sonic can be in it too!!1" an apology. But still, holy shit, I never thought this would happen.

CAPCOM, YOU BETTER GIVE ME ZERO IF SEGA CAN PUT SONIC IN THERE. (Fuck your Phoenix Wright >_> I like him and all, but come on. As an Assist Trophy though..."OBJECTION". That'd rock.)

Quoted for relevance to me. As in, I'm in the same boat as you two.

Re: Sonic Confirmed for Brawl, Remaining Nerds Explode

Gobo: Maybe that's why he said "his Final Smash is going Super Sonic."
You know, just a guess.

Oh lord, this is what I get for posting early in the morning...just proves I don't need others to make me look stupid.

Re: Sonic Confirmed for Brawl, Remaining Nerds Explode

Mega Man doesn't necessarily have to copy powers. After all he can only copy powers off of Robot Masters. He's also in MvC2 and he doesn't copy anything there. I'd assume they'd go with a similar setup to MvC2, since it works well and it's balanced. Buster for B, Mega Ball/Mega Kick for Down B, his uppercut move for Up B, and whatever they feel like for Forward B (Tornado Hold would work, but there's more options.) Alternative recoveries could include calling Beat, or Rush Jet.

For Subspace Emissary I'd love to see Sky Sanctuary Zone. Oh and while the Death Egg wasn't original, you have to admit that Sonic 3 and Knuckles was the most awesome and epic 2D Sonic game ever invented and it pretty much defined the series thereafter. For a normal stage though I'd expect something out of Sonic Adventure/2.

Re: Sonic Confirmed for Brawl, Remaining Nerds Explode

Snake with a Famas or PSG1 > Most of the Brawl Line up >_>


Realism aside, I wonder what Sonic's stage will be? Maybe a segment from the 1st level of Sonic with one of those big loops? Or maybe the stardust speedway!? (Or are they gonna save that for Space Emissary?)


Or even the Death Egg... *shudder* real lack of originality there Sega...

I think the best place of all would be the floating Island though. Perfect excuse to have Knuckles show up too as a random NPC that attacks people for being on the island :3


Assuming Mega Man is in, his stage would be the hardest to decide on. Also, his potential for the story would be amazing. Wily Fortress in Smash Bros style anyone?


o. O What powers would they give him? He'd have to have the slide and Mega Buster... (ugh I normally refer to him by his JP name but for the sake of ease here...) maybe have Rush or Blues as an assist trophy? (Not Roll... please not Roll. No .EXE either! Bad ass as Forte.EXE was...) he'd likely copy powers much like Kirby, but it would have to be in a different way.

Maybe once he knocks you off stage? And then he has it for the rest of the battle? That'd be awesome, since he could effectively get everyone's abilities for the duration of the fight... for the Final Smash I'm leaning on the Rush Suit from MM7. What would up+B be though? Rush Jet? He's gotta have those rush powers... and what boss powers, if any?! @_ @

Re: Sonic Confirmed for Brawl, Remaining Nerds Explode

They'd probably go with Tatsumaki since it would be slightly redundant with Mario's Final Smash.

Regarding guns in Smash: they don't do it because it's lame. Fox's lasers don't cause flinching, but Falco's does and if you've ever played a pro Falco you'd know that it's one of the lamest things ever since he can pseudo-stun-lock you as long as you're both on the ground. A real gun for a weapon would shoot projectiles that are hard to see and travel at ridiculous speeds just like Sheik's needles, except that a real gun has a much higher rate of fire while Sheik has to charge hers (even if you shoot single needles you still have to go through the charging animation and cancel it.)

Snake gets a rocket launcher with a laser pointer and he slits people's throats for one of his throws. I don't think a gun would be much of a concern to Nintendo, but throwing in the equivalent of Cable into Brawl would ruin gameplay.

And it's looking like Sonic is getting his own stage, a la Snake.

I would expect that, as they tried to give every character at least one stage that could be associated with them. Roy and Marth didn't have a stage in Melee but if you use an Action Replay to get into debug mode, there's a Fire Emblem stage in the stage selection, though it crashes the game if you choose it (clearly they didn't finish it.)

Re: Sonic Confirmed for Brawl, Remaining Nerds Explode

I'm sure at least one of Sonic's buddies will show up in the form of an Assist Trophy.
