But pretty much everything else on him is Sonic, but with different "hair", 100% less chuckles and 100% more non-existent muscle flexing. He is not known for punching even if he is named like that. Making him in the way i said for example would require less work AND would better represent him than just punching guy since it would be something actually taken from the games (2D and 3D).
Wat?
Yeah but the likely reason he is even being considered is because he can be a clone of sonic. If it weren't for that, and he required a unique moveset, he wouldn't have much of a chance at all.
You're clearly mistaking him for Buffles the Lanky Legs, who would rather have a cardio day.
yeah man a character named after his fists punching people is totally inaccurate because he does not actively partake in the sport of boxing
But thats not what he is known for. He should be able to punch, but that shouldn't be the main focus. He can also spin dash, dig underground, glide, etc. Little Mac is a boxer and known for punching and only that. Knuckles can obviously do more and more known for his gameplay in SA and StH3 (& Knuckles), not Sonic Boom or Sonic Heroes gameplay.
the thing about the spin dash is that having the spin-dash as his down-special like Sonic still leaves uh all of his other moves
Doesn't means he has to punch in most of them. Glide could be used as Side B or just like glide and it can't be left out because its been in every game except for Sonic Boom and PMBR is not against them since they didn't cut those yet and Pit and Charizard have those as specials. Digging (let it be Down B while Spin Dash is Side B) could be integrated as a Bowser Bomb kind of special (in the beginning only) that damages opponents both when going into the ground (if in the air) and coming out of it and also allowing to follow up with aerial attacks like Sonic's...Spin Dash i guess...Don't know what he uses for it...To balance it, time limit could be given on how long he can remain underground and reduce damage dealt (like chargable attacks, but in reverse) when coming out and how high he goes as he remains underground. Its not impossible and i could code something like that easily.
Agreed. It's not like they couldn't make gliding balanced. It seems like they did fairly well with Charizard and 3.5 Pit, although I could be wrong. In any case, Knuckles' glide only goes straight in one direction (though he can turn), but he's always losing altitude while doing it, unlike those characters who are in PM already.
Would be nice if he would be able to cling to the wall if he hits any. Still don't think its a good idea to have him or any other extra 3rd party character.
His glide would likely have a decent hitbox because his knuckles are right out in front. I'm sure the PMBR could come up with a way to make it feel like it's what he does in the games he's in and still make it not worthless.
He should be able to cling to walls, though I dunno if he should be allowed to climb walls like he does in the Sonic series. On one hand, it's accurate, on the other, it's probably broken. (Not that there are that many stages with walls to climb) Out of them all, Knuckles is the only 3rd party character I'd want to see, but I will fully admit that I am biased as hell.
That was one of the only noticable differences between him and Sonic and remained for every next game except for Sonic Boom. Not having it is like having Sonic without Homing Attack, Kirby without inhale, Bowser without Fire Breath, etc. It doesn't matters how it will work or why. It just should be here.
...Didn't thought about lack of walls. Then he could go into normal "wall" cling state, like Sheik and Lucario.
They choose only characters already licensed for Brawl, so, everything is legal. Its just that role in the game is changed. If they would add something like Mega Man, then it wouldn't be all that legal. 1st party characters are better either way.
Fair enough; and I agree that first party characters are better, but I certainly wouldn't find Knuckles a bad pick, as I've said.
That's cause he's rougher than the rest of them, the best of them....tougher than leather.
That could work only on Donkey Kong or Ganondorf. He doesn't matches normal Knuckless's proportions, so, he can't be properly done as his alt. It would be like Ganonchu/Pikadorf, but in reverse.
You and I are destined to be mortal enemies. Knuckles vs Knuckles, the knuckles are drawn. Fight!
At least one of those two has the same basic build, just made a little silly/stupid. The Sonic Boom alt would be like giving Knuckles Ganondorf's body under all that fur.
Hell, that's what Sega should have done with the Sonic Boom model. Would have been similar to Sonic getting a somewhat goofy change to his head plus scarf.
Eh, Sega could have said no to the redesigns as they did to many of the ideas that Big Red Button originally had. I'm still going to blame Sega a little more because they took the chance and failed majorly.
