Instead of Shadow why not Silver

I could kind of see Metal Sonic being a costume of Sonic, but that's about it.

I don't like Silver. His hair (if you want to call it that) is weird and silly. Looks like it was glued to his forehead. And the whole psychic powers thing doesn't grab me much. Sonic Team keeps trying to add new characters, but they're running out of decent ideas so they're getting ****ty, imo.

And, if anyone were to get in from the Sonic universe aside from Sonic himself, I think the honor would go to Tails. He deserves it.

Have you played Sonic The Hedgehog 06?

Silver was easily the funnest character to control out of any 3d sonic.

Nope, I haven't played it. I'm basing what I'm saying mostly on Silver's character (I've watched all the cutscenes on youtube >_>), which I'm not too keen on.

He may be fun to use, but I think I'd be disappointed if he got in and someone like Tails or Knuckles didn't.

Well I doubt anyone expects him to get in before Tails. Knuckles on the otherhand I could see. Then again I'd prefer to wait and see if Sonic even makes it. Or anyone from Sega for that matter.

Yeah, at this rate I'm just clinging to hope for Sonic. If anyone else makes it in, it'll be a miracle.

Silver also doesn't have much of a chance because he wasn't much on a Nintendo console. His only appearence on the Nintendo scene was a (Unlockable) playable appearence in Party Mode of Sonic & The Secret Rings. Other then that, he has only appeared on Microsoft & Sony products. Unless Del Money's Petition succeeds. (Petition for Sonic 06 for PC)

If there was going to be another Sonic character it would be Knuckles. Because Knuckles is the best Sonic character anyway.

Shadow and Silver are not valid Sonic characters.
Valid Sonic characters are as follows: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Dr. ROBOTNIK, Amy, Metal Sonic.
As you can see, this list is of characters found in Sonic games before they added a third dimension.

Someone go call Team Sonic and inform them that they have been creating non valid characters!

Round 2! Ding!!!

Since theres no way shadow or silver would be in, this thread is pointless. but since im here i would probably pick shadow over silver solely because silver is so ugly. that hi-res pic on the first page just........:urg:. I don't know what the hell is wrong with his hair lol

Indeed. It's like Silver has a peacock glued to his head. And you're right about Sonic Team constantly adding new characters that aren't any good. Seriously, do we need another hedgehog? I think Shadow may have been a bit too much too. When I first saw Shadow in a SA2 preview, I thought he was an evil Super Sonic (Remember at the end of SA1, about how Chaos absorbed the negative energy of the chaos emeralds and Sonic the positive energy? I thought Shadow was actually Sonic, and that he absorbed the negative energy of the chaos emeralds to become some sort of anti-Super Sonic. Now wouldn't that have been cool?). Shadow turning out to be just a doppleganger was dissapointing. Sonic Team really doesn't need to keep coming up with new ones anyway, when they have a bunch of neat older ones they've more-or-less forgotten. Mighty, Nack, Ray, Bean, Bark, and except for Sonic Heroes, the Chaotix. Why not bring some of them back instead of making up lame new characters each game (and makng each established character lamer). And bring back Mobius. Sonic really has no reason to be on Earth in a big city full of humans.

Sonic 1 through 3&K and CD where fantastic. Those were Sonic's glory days, and those were when Sonic was relevant as Sega's rival to Nintendo's Mario. Those games are why Sonic (arguably) deserves a spot in Brawl to finally face off against Mario in person. If anything Sonic-related shows up in Brawl, be it other playable characters, ATs, or items, they should come predominantly from the Genesis games. If Sonic gets more than one rep, it'll either be Tails or Knuckles. No other character really deserves it (especially characters from awful games).
