Look, I understand that you're just trying to be realistic, but this is a support thread. It really doesn't matter to me who you vote for, but if you're not supporting Tails as a fighter for smash, then why are you coming to this thread and telling everyone here that you're not supporting him?
I feel Tails deserves a spot more because of his status as Sonic's sidekick. I also like Tails a bit better than Knuckles anyway, but Knuckles is still cool, and he would probably be my second choice for a new Sonic character in smash
Well you may have Project M for that eventually
I actually voted for Knuckles in the ballot thing too since voting multiple times is a thing (along with Sceptile and Ryu Hayabusa). Knuckles is my preferred choice, though I feel that some people would probably be upset if he got in over Tails since Tails is a more major character overall. After that (fake?) Project M leak though, it got me wondering about Knux more.
The project M Knuckles thing is real, they just haven't released it yet.
He would definitely have a few moves similar to Sonic, but he has plenty of his own unique abilities to set him apart from Sonic. He would definitely be easier for the developers to create, but he would be different enough that he wouldn't be considered a clone.
Yeah I definitely think Tails has what it takes to make him to Sonic what Falco is to Fox, or for more relevant DLC news Lucas to Ness.
Absolutely no way they'd make Tails a Dark Pit-esque clone (Basically the same with the differences being VERY miniscule). His very design wouldn't allow him to be. If Shadow wasn't already an Assist Trophy I would be very scared that's what would end up happening if they allow extra 3rd Party reps through the ballot. Even if Shadow had an all original moveset I'd dislike him being present in the game almost as much as if not more then Dark Pit. I think until we get word that Assist Trophies can get promoted (I doubt Shadow would be the first one picked if so anyway). Shadow isn't really in competition against Tails for if this ballot allows another Sonic character to join the fray.
I'm certainly not concerned about Shadow either, regardless of the size of his fanbase. Even with how many people may vote for him, I feel the developers know better than to put Shadow in over Tails, Knuckles, and Eggman. I could maybe see him becoming an alternate skin for Sonic at the very most.
I agree. There are a lot of different moves that he can use to be a unique standalone character. He can use gadgets like the handcannon and can also fly temporarily so that could be used as his double jump or recovery. I like how he was handled in Super Smash Flash 2. It goes to show how much potential he really has.
It's definitely real, It was already confirmed by the highly credible tcrf hacking community.
It doesn't 100% confirm that they are playable though. I don't know why a lot of people seem to think it does.
Eh, time will tell.
Yeah, no joke.
I don't think Tails has to worry about Knuckles. If Sakurai wants another Sonic character, Tails is definitely the next in line. As others have put it, Tails is to Sonic as Luigi is to Mario. He's the sidekick and second face of the franchise. I have no doubt in my mind that if another Sonic character made it in one day, it would be Tails.
Can't wait for that day if it ever comes! Yoshi would easily be tossed aside if Tails were DLC
Tails should at least share Spin Dash considering that mechanic debuted with Tails in Sonic 2. But yeah, Tails does have the oppurtunity to be unique. I want to wait to see what are some of the first choices from the ballot are first though. That may determine whether or not the staff are looking to easier characters to make or if they really will spend the time on a really unique movesets.
THIS. I have seen a lot of people say that Tails is a bad character because of how wimpy he appears and that Knuckles or that hedgehog is more suited for Smash, probably because they seem tougher. What a lot of them don't understand, however, is that while Tails may seem feeble, he can still fight. There are plenty of Sonic games where you can play as him and take down evil robots and all that stuff. Not to mention that Smash will let any character in, even if the character doesn't fight. Take a look at Peach. All she does in her games is get kidnapped by Bowser and in Smash, she can take down characters like Bowser with ease! They also added the villager from Animal Crossing as well! they said he would never make it into Smash because of the lack of fighting in his games and now he is a full fledged combatant! I don't mind people wanting Knuckles or that hedgehog in the game but when they say stuff like tails is not suitable for Smash because of such poor reasons it just makes me angry.

You forget that is a past Stage where they just kept the extra stuff from the past stage because they were there before. If the team felt like adding Tails out of the suggestions I don't think they'll say "Alright guys let's begin development on Tails! Wait a sec... OH NO! Tails is on the Green Hill Zone stage in Brawl and we ported it to the 3DS version. Looks like we'll have to disappoint ourselves and all those who put their vote in for Tails and say that's the reason why he can't be DLC. Gosh darn it, why do things that the Brawl developers did have to prevent us from providing the DLC of a character. We clearly don't have any contradictions between playable characters already in the game that take part as a background element in stages or other reasons*"
Please don't talk to us as if we're Miiverse users voting for Goku or Shrek. There's many other characters that have support threads on here that make Tails look more credible as a choice in comparison. I won't name any for the sake of not starting a flame war, but by now especially if Ryu is coming later. Tails isn't that farfetch'd of a choice. It's downright rude to say anything like this otherwise in a support thread anyhow.
Yeah, if we did get a second Sonic character, it would be Tails, but I think a rep from a different SEGA franchise would make more sense since the leak depicts Ryu and not a second MegaMan rep.
I didn't think there would be anyone else who wanted both Tails and Klonoa, even at the same time
I for one think it's not all that likely they choose a different Sega franchise character over a 2nd Sonic rep should Sega receive another character. There's no other Sega franchise that's as prominent on Nintendo consoles as Sonic. The only ones that even are a teensy bit are NiGHTS which had a Wii game (That wasn't very successful but one nonetheless) and to some extent Bayonetta although Sega doesn't actually have full rights to her as it turns out as the only role Sega had with Bayonetta 2 was an advisory role. So Bayonetta doesn't quite count as a Sega rep. The only thing I could see is possibly some sort of ATLUS rep, but I wouldn't know a thing or to at all on who would be the most likely should Sega allow an ATLUS character to come in.
