I've explained to some of my friends that SEGA is trying to kill Sonic, notice how Sonic's last three games, Lost World, Sochi 2015, and Boom have all been terribly unsuccessful, yet all of them are getting sequels. Also Boom (Sonic's take on Pokemon) was a huge faniancial disaster, yet it's being treated like a huge success, to the point where they're considering making MOVIES, ****ING MOVIES. Even in Smash Bros Sonic had little to no effort into being brought back. So I think they're trying to kill off the franchise as it slowly dies, to focus in other things. It's like Sonic is turning into a hedgehog version of Mighty no. 9.

SEGA trying o kill sonic? yeah that isn't true. That would be fiinancial suicide to purposely kill off their biggest franchise. 06 and unleashed were generally hated but obviously they werent TRYING to kill him off.
Also boom (the show) is doing fine and is great. A movie wouldn't surprise me.
This theory is downright silly.

I'm sorry but I respectfully disagree. Sonic 2 and 3 both have their strengths and weaknesses but by no means were they "running out of ideas" at that point.
Sonic 2 I feel has worse level design than 1 and 3, it tears the levels with the highest routes usually being the fastest and most thrilling way to reach the goal, the lower levels are usually less speedy as you have more obstacles, what this effectively means is that the player is encouraged to take the top route as it's the most optimal and is rewarded for doing so with less gameplay. That's not to say that the game's bad at all, Sonic 2 accommodates speed alot better than the first one and has a reduced emphasis on precise movement. Sonic 2 has alot more opportunities to take advantage of Sonic's momentum especially with the brand new spindash. The spindash works perfectly with the established strengths and weaknesses of rolling, if you know when and how to use it, it's a massive advantage but if used incorrectly it results in alot of starting and stopping, as a result Sonic 2 has a greater emphasis on learning the correct way to do the levels.
Sonic 3&K however took the first two games and made them better.
You can play as three separate characters with their own subtly difference movesets, these subtle differences mean all three play similarly which allows all three to be easily accessible while also having different nuances to master. Tails could fly and Knuckles can glide and climb walls making exploration easier with these three characters. Sonic on the other hand got an incredible new ability in the insta shield which allows him to dispatch enemies with ease; add in a climatic story and amazing graphics and music and you have some of the best 2D platformers around.
To really understand how good it is however, you have to understand what makes Sonic games good in the first place, speed platforming and exploration; these 3 elements need to compliment one another to create a satisfying experience, the strength of Sonic 3 is it's ability to intertwine these elements to make the experience more than the some of its parts. The momentum based mechanics would be useless without smooth, rolling level design to take advantage of them, these rolling level designs create speed with downward slopes and rewards the speed with upward slopes, specifically the ability to scale them and gain extra hieght with well timed jumps, these speedy well timed jumps can help reach new heights in order to explore levels more thoroughly, because this requires the player to land jumps correctly it also incorporates platforming. Because all three elements flow into one another so seamlessly and because the player can experiment with these and use them to explore without being hampered by the game it results in a very fluid experience.
Sonic 3's level design blends those 3 key elements, platforming and exploration perfectly and creates a beautiful experience as a result, no one element is over done or under done, it's spot on. Even collecting chaos emeralds ties seamlessly into these elements m, rather than simply requiring the player to have 50 rings at either the goal or check points giant rings are instead secreted around the landscape, encouraging the player to stop running right and follow that hunch that might lead them to the hidden room. Adding to this are the three elemental barriers which replaced the standard barrier in the previous game. Each elemental barrier gives you new abilities which require experimentation to master, adding a further layer of depth to the game. They do remove the insta shield which makes some enemies impossible to dispatch but overall they're an excellent inclusion.

I'm guessing Zero.There's a certain third party character with like 10+ video game appearances in Nintendo consoles and has been playable in 4 different fighting games already (including one on the Wii).
How about we all support him for Smash?
Mega Man X1-X6 (X1-X3 were originally on SNES and all six games were included in Mega Man X Collection for GameCube)
Mega Man Xtreme 1 & 2 (both originated on Game Boy Color)
Mega Man X: Command Mission (GameCube)
Mega Man Zero 1-4 (all originated on Game Boy Advance)
He made a cameo in Bass's ending in the arcade game Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, which was an unlockable bonus in Mega Man Anniversary Collection for GameCube.
EDIT: And both of the ZX games on DS.
That's a total of
SvC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom
Onimusha: Blade Warriors
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars, which was on Wii
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (and Ultimate)
It's Zero. He'd be my top choice for a second Mega Man character and one of my top choices for a third Capcom character.

I'm baffled Zero isn't even the Mega Man Assist Trophy.
Like, seriously, why is it Elec Man.

Don't worry about it. I actually think it's funnier that you quoted Swamp instead. I used to mix up joke book answers and questions around and laugh at how they didn't make any sense.Welp. I'm confirmed the biggest idiot in the world. Sorry @

Have you ever thought why hey we're a flop?
It's not like those games were on a system that was a flop itself. Quality was never the issue aside from Boom. Secret Rings and Black Knight sold well and Unleashed on Wii sold more than the 360/PS3 versions

I know what you're gonna say, Anna doesn't count because she transcends perfection and is only just in Fates by a playable cameo. I'm talking original FE Fates characters

I shook my head and pretend I hadn't.

Sonic the Hedgehog-It was all right. Never finished it myself. Much rather play other games in the franchise.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2-Love it. So much nostalgia is associated with this one. Still a joy to play today.
Sonic CD-Great. Pretty fun game with enjoyable music. I wish the super peel out move returned in future Sonic games.
Sonic 3 and Knuckles-Favorite 2D game in the series. Excellent level design, music and character options. Nothing else need to be said about this masterpiece.
Sonic Adventure-Really fun to blast through. Best music in the franchise (I'm listening to the OST now in fact) and for the most part good level design. Tail's story is my favorite to play through overall.
Sonic Adventure 2-Favorite 3D game of the series. Basically everything I said about Sonic Adventure plus a more enjoyable story and Chao Garden (I've wasted so many hours raising them).
Sonic Heroes-Love it. Second favorite 3D Sonic. Yet again so much nostalgia comes from this game. Spent many hours playing this one. My only gripe is that you can't play as Tails on-foot most of the time.
Shadow the Hedgehog-Enjoyed it a lot as a kid, but now...not so much. Still fun to play as though.
Secret Rings-...
Unleashed(wii)-Day time levels are fun but werehogs a chore.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4-Ep. 2 was fun but Ep 1 is really bland and uninspired.
Sonic Colors-I really enjoyed it. Awesome levels and music. Best 'boost' game in the series imo.
Sonic Generations(3DS) Awesome game needless to say, though the later levels can be a bit boring to play through.
Sonic Riders 1 and 2-Surprisingly really good. Best of the Sonic racers, though I prefer the first one.
Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure-Favorite handheld Sonic's. A real blast to play through.
Sonic Chronicles-Despite the hate the game receives I actually really enjoyed it. I found the story interesting and I usually just mute the audio when playing.

I just want to know how petty one has to be for freaking fan-art. I already can't understand videos, but is one picture really going to do so much harm to a video game? I'm fully convinced it's because Kojima retweeted it (Because God forbid the guy who made Metal Gear likes something Metal Gear related am I right?).

They been doing stupid stuff and I can't even get upset anymore. Just hoping they can sell the IPs and quit gaming. Maybe I can care less about what they do.

BTW more people need to play Network Transmission. Not saying it doesn't have it's issues, primarily the zoomed in camera & Battle Network mechanics making things random, but it's criminally underrated IMO especially in the music department.

Wasn't Elecman chosen cause he's the first ever robot master designed? Also if you think he's a wierd choice then what the hell does that make Shadow? Also seems we were lucky we got the ghosts as the Pacaman Assist trophy, since you know they chose bloody Shadow for Sonic instead of Tails or Eggman, characters who are way more important to Sonic then Shadow ever will be.

I recently replayed NT, it's kinda hard at first (especially the boss fights, freaking Gutsman...) but after a while you just get used to it and it gets a lot more fun. Plus the music A++++++
Still sad Zero never came back in a future game, not even as an optional secret boss. Instead we get Bass for every game.
