Please take your emptyheaded and ridiculous preconcieved notions of what is acceptable in video games outside this thread. If you don't like it that much, go to a Sonic flame thread at some Guilty Gear site.
And there's no possible way people like Simon Belmont, or Leon, or Sol Badguy are getting in Brawl.
Grow some brain cells.
QFT.
Simon Belmont isn't as out there as you think. Considering that the Castlevania series has had a long history with Nintendo and is a Konami rep (Solid Snake being one as well), there may be some crazy chance that the vampire hunter may weasel his way into Brawl. It also doesn't hurt to mention that he was on Sakurai's poll. Granted, he didn't place very high in comparison to everybody else but he was there.
Leon Kennedy is just..."roffle" material. I don't even need to say anything about that man and where he comes from. Let Sony and Microsoft have him.
And Sol Badguy, in Brawl? Dude, the Immoral Flame belongs with his own people over in Guilty Gear. As much as I love the character, there isn't a snow ball's chance in Hell that he'll be mixing it up with the likes of Mario anytime soon. Sure, he starred in a (crappy) DS game and has a game coming out for the Wii soon (Accent Core) but that does not increase his chances in the least. Considering that the franchise is heavily rooted with Sony (having the most releases for that particular company than the DS or the Wii), I think it's a safe bet that he'll be as far away from there as possible.
Sonic for Brawl.
Smooth Criminal
Edit:
thats probably the lamest thing i have ever heard...get a life...sorry if i spread my opinion...are we all just suppose agree on everything?? i didnt think it was like that last i heard
" Thats why n00bs should grab a razor and go play in traffic."
wth
The statement was a bit harsh, but I can understand the rest of what Killswitch was saying (you and me are gonna be playing some Smash soon, son. You live in the same town as me). It ain't a matter of you agreeing with the rest of us, Blackanese, it's a matter of you having a solid argument around your opinion. It's all well and fine to not want the Blue Blur in Brawl, but come in here and say it with a bit of tact. Present a sound argument that we can debate on, not just a simple "Sonic shouldn't be in Brawl because his new games suck."
Awright?
