How do you think he'll fit in with SE?

Amy is bulma...
Can you please leave well enough alone? I think we should be beyond DBZ and focus more on the topic of this entire subforum. We've pointed out the similarities, and now we are done.

What I should mention is that Sonic should be appearing alone, because it's gonna be hard to incorporate all the Smashers into the SE, let alone letting Sonic partner with Mario and Knuckles be running off with Wario because he's been tricked... yet again.

What will be known, is that Jason Griffith, the scum(I hate him for just being Sonic's VA in the TV show, my hate intensified when he took Drummond's spot.), is the Voice actor for Sonic in Brawl, and he will be used because Sonic has a Voice, an active talking voice. Just Like Snake, Sonic will be actively speaking due to them both having Voice Actors. It's a guess, but it's a dang good one.

Um, Knux isn't evenly matched with Sonic cept in Sonic 3, and that was for gameplay's sake. But seriously, can we stop talking about DBZ?

CodeBlack, I think he'll have his own good part in the SE. Not the final boss, not sure where you got that from, but he'll have his section nonetheless.
In any case, I wasn't talking about power level, (power level doesn't really exist in Sonic, only when the Emeralds Come into play), I was talking about character, in which Knuckles, the taciturn, reflective, violently secretive character is most like Piccolo.

As for the DBZ conversation, I think it's fine (seeing as the creators of Sonic admit to being influenced by DBZ) as long as we remember what the strip is supposed to be about.

And on that note, I wasn't saying he wouldn't have a role, he'll definitely have a role, just not a role that's too big... Consider that he and Snake are both guest characters, and think, "How big of a role would they give to Snake?" Then place that role, give or take a few, onto Sonic. Given, he'll have a bigger role than Snake, since he fits into the Nintendoverse better, but he still won't be a pivotal part, at least not more pivotal than any of the Nintento characters (as all parts are probably pivotal).

How big of a role? Big enough to work with Mario it seems... but then again, how many times would they team up? No idea.

Wow, I sound like Reggie all of a sudden. : P

Well, I believe characters join the players' team when they are introduced (or at some other point) during SE, and then can be used as second player at any time... Those clips of Mario and Sonic fighting together of SE thus don't really say anything about his role in the storyline...

Amy is obviously Chi Chi, even to the fact that in DB when Kid Goku meets Chi Chi she talks about marrying him all the time.

Also how is Knuckles Piccolo, I see it more as Shadow and Knuckles both being Sonic's Vegeta in different aspects.

His balls are Inert. :laugh: Couldn't help it.

Anyway, I could see Sonic having something of a role in SSE. What would really rock my socks is if he was an antagonist, messing around with the heroes just to get his kicks. He's certainly got that kind of personality, and it would give us plenty of opportunity for some Mario Vs. Sonic matches. He'd be most kickass midboss since the one from Disgea.

If Sakurai was feeling particularly awesome, he could even give Sonic some character development near the end of the game. Example: He decides that he'd have more fun messing around with the Ancient Minister than Mario, or suchlike.

And don't try to say playable characters can't be bosses. Look at the ending of Dk's clip.
Him and Bowser are throwing DOWN.

It hurts me to see that Alvin-Earthworms Flash brought the subject of DBZ so much into the topic that we we're comparing the characters, yes they are similar, yes, Yugi Naka was a fan of DBZ, and yes, as some would hate it to believe, Super Sonic is a tribute to Super Saiyan, like DBZ fanboys always say he is.

That said, Sonic's involvement in SE will be large. He won't steal the spotlight, by no means that will happen, but he will be as integral as Mario. Mario and Sonic have no reason to fight - they come from the two different universes, but they both fight for the better good. There is no reason for them to fight. That'd be asking for a fight along the lines of DK and Diddy - ain't happenin'. I would say Mario and Luigi, but since Super Paper Mario, I think Luigi might get a Mr. L costume and you may have to fight the masked villain whose secret identity isn't oh so secret.

Sonic will be introduced Early, and if my guess is right, will be joining right after the level with Pit - under that Story arc. It's obvious that there may be different and Branching story lines, and I hope that if there is that function... It will be done so much better then Shadow the Hedgehog's game.

Its not that there is no reason to fight, its that everyone WANTS them to fight, but only to a certain level, its not like a death match but more like a lets fight to see whos better.

Its because of their popular status and 90's rivalry. You know Mario (Nintendo Pet) vs Sonic (Sega Pet)

Edit: PS: I was the one who talk about DBZ first :p

*ignores comparisons*

I'm going to predict something completely random.

Considering Fox and Diddy wind up fighting Rayquaza, SSE could practically go ANYWHERE. Imagine the cast of Fire Emblem thinking Sonic is some high level monster and going out to try and slay him, or Samus having to take down Eggman, who's kidnapped Micaiah or something equally random select.

I think that 3rd party characters will be involved in some sort of "secret" pairings that will only occur when finishing some levels or events under certain conditions. It would be pretty cool methinks, to earn a Sonic/Mario team because you finished a critical stage exceptionally fast or something...

Sonic vs Mario would be cool.
It seems like everyone wants to kill Mario, Sonic, Bowser, Snake, Wario.

What the hell did Mario do?

He says he's a plumber... but when do you ever see him doing the castle's plumbing, eh? Suspicious...

Remember that Sonic is, in no way, a star in the game. He's a guest.
Sonic may not be THE star, but he is A star. perhaps not to sakuri or any of the programers, but because of how much he was requested by so many fans, he will be a star in the players eyes. or at least some of them. anyways, onto the topic at hand



Maybe im being weird here, over-rationalising game content, but has any1 heard of "Mario and sonic at the olympic games"? It seems as though sonic and friends have already come from mobius into a realm with the nintendo characters, or at least mario's gang.


Other than that, i like the theory of sonic being sucked to mario's world thru the worm hole created by the subspace bomb. It coulc alternatively have something to do with eggman or metal sonic coming to the nitendo world and sonic pursuing... i guess we'll have to wait til febuary to find out

IMHO, it is more likely than not that sonic and mario will be teamed up. Nintendo and sega seem to be on pretty good terms, they don't need their mascots to fight for superiority. Plus, we all know mario would win. It's just common sense. Nintendo wouldnt let their mascot lose to sonic on their own console.

Yeah that's what I meant, maybe no matter who wins a cinematic plays that shows them stopping their fight to stop the subspace things

Very true. We all love Sonic, but I was talking in terms of storyline. Like you said, he's not the star in the eyes of Sakurai or the programmers (Sakurai himself called Sonic and Snake "guests"), so he won't have a starring role. He will have a storyline, no doubt, and Mario and Sonic may team up, in cutscene or simply by choice in Team Mode, but we shouldn't be expecting a cutscene showing Mario and Sonic taking out the Subspace Emissary all by themselves for the climactic finish, his role isn't that big in this game. The storyline where he comes through the wormhole sounds pretty cool, though.

I'll take a potato chip....and eat it!!!
O.o actually, perhaps the "tie" thing might just happen. One of those "You're a good fighter and you're not evil....we should work together." Also....remember in the world of Japan, the main character isn't ALWAYS the best and they do lose from time to time. Reality sets in. ^_^ We won't know until it comes out, though, lol.

It would be cool if sonic and captain falcon teamed up. I would love to see the two competing to see whos the fastest. The video would be like this:

*in big blue*

*captain falcon wins another race and is waving to the crowd*

*then a screen appears 'Warning! Challenger Aproaching!'*

*sonic arrives at tremendous speed and taunts captain falcon*

*captain falcon smiles and hop in the blue falcon and says 'Show me your speed!'*

*the two start racing in big blue and the only thing that can be seen are two blue rays*

*the two are tied and they are about to cross the finish line...The winner is... BOOM!*

*suddenly a black hole appears where sonic and captain falcon were! The crowd is shocked!*

*the subspace army appears in the circuit! <insert villain here> is leading them! They are going to attack the crowd! The cannon is going to shoot!*

*'FALCON PUUUUNCH' the cannon flies to the space and the minions were wiped out by a blue blur*

*its sonic and captain falcon they are alive! they seem to be angry at not being able to finish the race. Now they have to team up to beat the SA. Captain Falcon says 'Show me your moves!'*

Well From what I saw The story mode lets you choose the path you take so possibly just like the choice to save the princess you save the hero's to .Possibly pit must save mario or sonic the other one is victim of a brain controll causing them to turn evil possibly METAl !?!?!?!

Stop talking about Dragon Ball Z! :confused:

Tails = Luigi
Knuckles = Wario
Shadow = I have no idea...Wario again?

EDIT: Shadow the Hedgehog/EggmanRobotnik = Great Subspace Boss
I'd say Knuckles is more like his Donkey Kong (Mario and DK were once rivals. Kinda).

Shadow would really be the Wario.

Wario = anti-Mario
Shadow = anti-Sonic

Except that Knuckles isn't a big brainless monkey who loves bananas and does suicide kills with his incredible grabs... although they both have one hell of a temper.

And before you ask, I DO respect DK, I main him in SSB64 and I occasionally play as him in Melee, and I'm looking forward to playing as him in Brawl. So it's all in good humor.

They don't call him Knucklehead for nothing.

The DBZ conversation actually has some kind of merit because Sonic Team admits to being influence by DBZ, in addition to it being easier to make comparisons. There are little to no comparisons available for Sonic to Mario, because characters are so radically different. However, it's all in good humor, because we know that no series is in any way a carbon copy of another; they're all original.
