i don't want to see sonic in this game
i feel like he'd pollute everything
plus his plethora of crappy games has just made his appeal go down the toilet for me
last time he was any good was back on genesis
and those days are over
if sonic can be in then lets let crash bandicoot in too---how bout spyro?!
in 20 years if this series is still around i imagine the floor being opened to all video game characters from a ton of different series that are not nintendo related
but that time is not now
brawl doesn;t need sonic
and neither do i
Here's my stance on this. It's really more of a discussion of third party in general than just Sonic....
IDEALLY, Brawl would be a nintendo only game. I feel like, in general, the inclusion of any third parties at all, including Sonic, does indeed pollute things. BUT, Snake's already in. The third party door has been opened whether we like it or not, so now's our chance to actually grab someone worthy before it closes.
The way I see it, as much as I hate the fact that Sakurai held the door open for Snake, I would hate it even more if he did so without peaking in, spotting a character like Sonic, and grabbing him.
If third parties are in, then I want a third party character I actually like. Now that Snake is in, all bets are basically off.
EDIT: And I really don't want to hear anything about Sonic's crappy 3D performance. That has nothing to do with his character and the fact that DESPITE the lackluster display he's giving on 3D consoles, the games still sell. That is COMPLETELY due to his character (and the rest of the characters in the series). People just love Sonic.
Besides, I don't care what anyone says. The Sonic/Tails/Knuckles stories in SA, the Sonic/Shadow stories in SA2, and all the stories in Sonic Heroes were decent.
