Smash Master
I wish you were right.I may be wrong, but sonic is not as hype as he was back in Brawl, specially since we have more third party now
So it would not surprise that me that much to not see him in the demo
But the Sonic fanbase and everyday gamer are still "hyped" for him, even childs, since apparently, Sonic Mania was brought more by Children than old fan-
Sonic is like Mario, he's intemporal and as sad as it is...
Just him being in the game makes the game sell more, and it's the same for all Third parties, they're console and game seller by themselves
