Smash Lord
What the heck? I haven't been following my own thread for three months...I'm so ashamed.
The wait until the end of the Smash Ballot is going to be a real nail-biter. I'm kind of nervous since Tails and the rest of the Sonic cast haven't really been making waves on the ballot in Japan with what we know from source gaming, but I'm not even close to giving up hope. The Sonic series is one of the closer and more popular 3rd party series to Nintendo and with such a cool and diverse cast of characters, I find it hard not to want more representation of the series in Smash. With Tails being one of the most prominent Sonic characters along with Knuckles and Eggman, he should at least have a decent following. His various traits and gadgets give him lots of potential for a good moveset.
At this point, my support for Tails and Knuckles is pretty much equal; I just want another Sonic character. I really hope that whoever is deciding to put the characters in Smash sees the merit of including one of these two (or both, or Eggman).

Tails doesn't play much like Sonic at all in SSF2. Tails has a projectile for one thing and his Spin Dash functions very differently. Only move other than Spin Dash that is similar to Sonic's is n-air, which is still different since it's a multihit move.Tails is B tier in Super Smash Flash 2 and his playstyle is practically like Sonic with much more air game and gadgets. So it's not to farfetched to expect the results to be similar when he's working with the new engine for Smash 4.
I want another Sonic game with multiple playable characters so badly. Part of what made the Advance games so great imo. The Sonic-only games have all been fun, but it's time to bring Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Blaze, Shadow, Silver, Chaotix, etc. back into the mix (at least one of them). Sonic Lost World would have worked perfectly with Tails and others playable imo.Of all the characters I'd like to see in Smash that aren't in it yet, Tails is one of the few I'd probably play a ton regardless of if his play style matched how I usually play. I think it'd be awesome if the eternal sidekick often relegated to player 2 or an NPC in Sonic games got his chance to shine in Smash. A reveal trailer with "Believe in Myself" playing in the background as Tails flies in on the Tornado would be really cool. Maybe that isn't all that likely (for Smash 4 at least), but I can dream, can't I?
I also hope he's playable in the next main series Sonic game (e.g., not a Sonic Boom title). I understand why people at Sega/Sammy would want to go back to just Sonic being playable after the backlash they got for introducing so many new Sonic characters, but I feel like a Sonic Colors type game with Tails and Knuckles playable could be pretty fun.
