I could see how Shadow could be simply dismissed as a Sonic clone, should he be the in the game. But as I stated earlier, Shadow could be an original character if Nintendo took the time to look at all of his moves and attacks in the Sonic series.

There are still games like that though. The Genesis Sonic games are a thing of the past. The only thing that comes close is Sonic Rush. The Advance games were decent too, but I wasn't a big fan of Sonic Advance 3.

That reminds me, I should play my copy of Shadow the Hedgehog to see if it's as bad as reported.

I like Shadow. He's cooler than the Sonic of today, anyway.

Chaos Control warp as Up B. Stop time as Final Smash. Any takers?

Finally the shadow supporters are coming out...either alot were scared they might get flamed or wont hear thier opinions heard..but watever the case, Shadow is finally getting the recognition he deserves! Shadow is way cooler cause of his attiude and cause hes more or less a bad guy/villian however u want to see it and brawl needs more!

and still bro theres no way..Sonic will have an alt costume..knowing that most likely ever since the alt colors dojo update..alt costumes are out(hopefully not) but yea as of right now..theres no way they can make Sonic look like Shadow in a alt color.

I doubt Shadow can get past Tails and Knuckles, they have more priority then Shadow.
I still think Shadow is too much alike to Sonic, I'd rather take Tails and Knuckles who are much more original then Shadow.

yay another Shadow fan, im not the only one... but also if you had checked the 1st post i did, you would have seen my idea for a skill list, for now you can ask me any Sonic Character and i'll throw together a skill list of all specials, taunts, stage, theme and alt colors if it helps.

Shadow's is on the 1st post and i'll change the Hand Gun to Chaos Nightmare from sonic battle

I honestly prefer Knuckles over Shadow... heck, I think I even prefer Blaze over Shadow...

Shadow could simply be "covered" as an alt costume, no sweat!

Tails kicks butt in Sonic Battle. And even if he used to follow Sonic around, ever since Adventure 1, he's proven his independance. (He even has a song saying so, how he doesn't follow Sonic around anymore) And that's what I love about the little dude. How he's grown independant (though screw his machinery..)

Knuckles with climbing and gliding, power character makes much sense than another speedy hedgehog and almost exact final smash as Sonic.

I highly doubt Sakurai, not quite being the Post Adventure fan, would pick Shadow over Tails & Knuckles.

Hey, if Shadow is so popular, why isn't he playable in either of the Sonic Advance games, or Sonic Rush, Rush Adventures nor Secret Rings? (Notice how they're all Nintendo Exclusive games).

I am sure Sakurai will go with Tails, been there since the beginning and actually would have an original moveset.
Shadow is just bleh to me, Knuckles is ok but I still think Tails is a better choice.

Hey Demoncannon I don't think you're being fair. You made this the "Other Possiblle Sonic Characters" thread. Yet you are rallying only Shadow supporters, I don't think your giving fair treatment to the older characters. And come on what would lead to more fan orgasms: Sonic & Tails vs. Mario & Luigi? Or Sonic & Shadow vs. Mario & Luigi?

I agree with HolyNightmare. Tails should deserve the spot because he has the second spot in the series. Hes Sonic's Sidekick and best friend for crying out loud! A lot more non gamers will recognize Tails more than they would with Shadow. And even in the most popular Sonic characters for gamers Tails is 3rd. Plus Tails would fit best in the SEE with Sonic. Tails is the one who follows Sonic, so he'll follow sonic into SSBB.

How can you all like shadow,
He's a cheap excuse of a character

ZOMG, An Anti-Sonic
THats hardly original

At least knuckles is a different animal

I can support the
DowB-Drill Dive, you all think he should be able to dig into the ground to allow easy crawling and dodging?
upB-Rising uppercut
But side B couldn't be glide since glides already are in the game
SideB-He does rapid fire punches hitting those in front of him in a combo
B-I say you can charge up the punch like Links Hero Bow, So you can either do lots of fast punches or one really deisel punch

I would want Tails over Shadow mostly because of how many people nerds and geeks from the 90's have orgams from seeing Sonic & Tails fighting Mario & Luigi. It would just be a dream come true. But I don't really expect aanother sonic character playable. So Sonic VS Mario or even better Sonic & Mario on a team is all the true dream I'm expecting.

Because, you know, Sonic can't do Chaos Control and all.

All Sonic and Knuckles do is fight each other. They wouldn't coordinate themselves to fight Mario and Luigi.

Once again, my sarcasm goes over people's heads. I hate the internet.

Sonic can do Chaos Control. He does it in SA2, with a fake emerald no less. Just because he doesn't do it in Brawl, because Sakurai is focusing on classic Sonic apparently, doesn't mean it never happened.

You make it sound like Tails can only follow Sonic like in Sonic 2, seriously what the hell?
Also please for the love of god learn to type correctly and stop being so biased with Shadow already.
Only classic fans can see how epic it would be you obviously are one of those new generation Sonic fanboy who doesn't know crap about how a true Sonic game should be.

EXACTLY... tails FOLLOWS sonic, yes he helps in his ways but the fact is Tails does follow sonic. Knuckles would make more sense as a playable for Subspace due to how gulable he is, now actually i can see Shadow and Metal Sonic being bosses in the SSE, Shadow and Metal work for Eggman to fight for subspace, beat Shadow and he leaves to do his own thing and Metal... well is defeated.

yea maybe i am bein a lil biased wen it comes to shadow but hey i have a reason to. Classic or new gen sonic fans shouldnt be compared..also..i played all of sonic's games..except the new gen games like Sonic for 360..and tbh i never played shadow's game either..but u kno what brawl isnt another sonic game..its not tryin to be a "true sonic game" but thats besides the point..Shadow is perfect for brawl ..he can be his own character not a "alt coustume" not a "lugified clone".

You don't make sense why the hell would Knuckles pop-up? He's never informed of anything unless Sonic or Tails tells him.
The only freaking way Knuckles should be playable over Tails is if the Master Emerald is involved, other then that I'd take Tails.

Sonic is going to be the only playable character. Tails and Knuckles could possibly be ATs, since MGS has one. If by some insane crazy-*** twist of fate Shadow was playable, he wouldn't use guns. If Snake isn't using guns, then Shadow wouldn't either.

Now this thread is pointless, it's been done and closed before.
I agree with everything u said but if on sum slight chance Shadow iz in Brawl...the stuff Demoncannon was talkin about would b the ****!!!!

Well sorry i'll explain this:-

If Knuckles is playable, Eggman would trick Knuckles like in Sonic 3 and say that the playable characters are evil and trying to steal the Master Emerald, Knuckles fights you but then has the Master Emerald stolen to help boost the power of the subspace bombs. Then Knuckles joins the game and possibly he would be fighting someone (not sonic) like Mario, Link, Snake, Samus or Ike.

Eggman tricks Knuckles in SA too. They don't call him Knucklehead for nothing.

Stop being ridiculous.

I can not belive how many people are underestiating Tails. With "Oh he only follows Sonic around" BULL****. He's done many things on his own. Tails Adventure, Tails Skypatrol, helped Sonic land on the Egg Carrier in Sonic Adventure, speaking of SA: He also defeated one of Eggman's machines (The orginal Egg Walker), in SA2 he actually was the one who helped Sonic get out of jail (Poor Amy wouldn't have had a chance against that security), and he was basically the brains of the hero team for that games. I think people are also underestimating Tails because of his more recent minor roles. Tails deserves the respect that no one but the longtime Sonic fans give him. It's a fact: Tails is as to Sonic as Luigi is to Mario. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Knuckles has also had his fair share of roles as well , but isn't underestimated. I'd still prefer him over Tails anyday. I'd prefer Espio over Tails too.
