Out of all the third party series in Smash, Sonic is the one I feel is more deserving of additional representatives*, not only due to its ties with Nintendo and its senioriety within the series, but also because a couple of Sonic characters are about as important to the gaming community as Sonic himself, and they all can bring their own distinct abilities and personality to Smash.
*Second most deserving would be Mega Man, if only to gey Zero in there.
So it makes sense if the series was given at least one extra representative, and if it has to be one, I feel like it should definitely be Tails, who is to Sonic as Luigi is to Mario. Sure, Eggman would also be another excellent candidate, as one of gaming's most iconic villains, and both Knuckles and Shadow could deserve a spot thanks to their popularity. But before anyone else, it has to be Tails, because I feel he'd be easier to implement than the former, bring a much more rich moveset than the latter two, and he's as if not more iconic to the series than either of them. Plus, seeing Sonic with anyone else, but not his trusty partner, would feel wrong.
