Sonic

[TeamFlareZakk]

If he returns, then please give him a Shadow color scheme.

 

[ryuu seika]

A variety of actual colour schemes would be nice this time round, rather than just a few bangle retextures.

 

[shinhed-echi]

At least we know that Red Sonic is in the realms of possibilities, after Sonic Colors.

But in an ideal world, we'd get a Knuckles/Tails/Shadow and maybe an Amy or SilverSonic color pallette for Sonic. :D

Sonic in a dress...

 

[TeamFlareZakk]

Sonic in a dress...

Then color him pink, what do you get?

Amy Rose!

Amy Rose would be a awesome character, too bad we won't see that.

 

[ryuu seika]

So the conversation just went from "lets recolour sonic" to "ooh, lets give him cameo costumes" to "why not Amy" to "lol, guys in dresses" to "Sonic in a dress? wouldn't that be Amy?"?
Seems a little cyclical at the end there.

Minor Spoilers for Sonic Lost World link regarding it's rating

“Rating Summary: In this action platformer, players control Sonic the Hedgehog as he attempts to stop an evil villain’s plans. As players zoom through fantastical landscapes, they collect items (e.g., gold rings and power-ups), avoid hazards, and use spin attacks to defeat robotic enemies; enemies break apart amid colorful explosions. During gameplay, characters sometimes use aggressive language (e.g., “You’re going home in a box,” ‘I’m going to skin you alive,’ and ‘I long for death’s cold embrace.’). Cutscenes also depict laser fire and explosions, as well as dialogue that references violence (e.g., “I’ll get fat from eating your black hearts,” “One second you’re contemplating genocide,” and “As long as I can still strangle a Zeti, my hands are fine.”).”

Haha, think we'll get dialogue like this somewhere in Sonic's representation in the game xD (The game is the first Sonic game to be rated E10+ since the Shadow the Hedgehog game. I doubt that means this game will be in anyway like the tone of Shadow was but it's surprising to see that kinda dialouge is from what just looked like a lighthearted Sonic game)

I actually wonder if they'll have Roger Craig Smith have more lines other then the taunts. (Which speaking of which I'm looking forward to how Roger puts his spin on "YOU'RE TOO SLOW!" also curious if they'll have a funny line for his victory screen)

 

[Mr. Johan]

So, Summer of Sonic happened in Europe today. Iizuka was there, and he just stated there that the Wisps will become a permanent feature in the Sonic series.

Bring on the Color-based attacks in Smash 4. Falco's Lasers vs. LASER. Meta Knight's Drill Rush vs. DRILL. Pit's new Wings of Icarus vs. ROCKET. And so on and so on.

 

[ryuu seika]

They'd be fine in smash but wisps in every Sonic game from now on? No thanks.

 

[Wonks]

Yeah, I'm not too keen on that, either.
Once with Sonic Colors was okay--it made sense for the game. Twice with Sonic Lost World...I can live with, but I'm not particularly happy with. Permanent? That dog won't hunt, monsignor.

 

[Espy Rose]

It's odd, considering that it was implied that the Wisps were all returned to their respective planets after the events of Colors. Guess some of them just decided to stick around.

 

[ryuu seika]

Has Sonic ever had game to game continuity? Shadow came back from the dead because people liked him, if they think wisps are popular, they'll return with equally little explanation.

 

[SonicMario]

While I imagine it will barely mean anything for Smash (Though I could see possibly a wisp power replacing one of the Special moves if need be). We'll have to see how the Wisps do for future games of the series. They're neat powerups though I'd say

 

[shinhed-echi]

I can see at most ONE Wisp move in smash.

Sakurai isn't one to throw a whole moveset out the window just to make it more recent. Just look at Ganondorf.

 

[Espy Rose]

Has Sonic ever had game to game continuity?

All of the main ones. (Sonic 1-4, CD, SA1/2, Heroes, '06, Unleashed, Colors, Generations) all follow the same continuity. Game to game would be 1-K and SA1/2, and of course, Colors-Lost World.

 

[ryuu seika]

I can't comment on the others but I saw no link between the 2 adventure games.

 

[SonicMario]

Well maybe it isn't too obvious. But there are a few subtle things like Artificial Chaos, and the Alter within the Ark looking just like the Alter in the first game that you see in the past (Or well we find out it's the same exact place Knuckles guards it in SA1). Maybe the Chao themselves count as well.

But otherwise I guess I could see why someone might think they don't have alot to do with eachother. Other then them bringing back the Sonic, Knuckles, and Gamma (For the Tails/Eggman levels) gameplay from the first game.

Not that Smash 4 is following in the exact footsteps as Brawl. But Sonic and Dedede were announced within the same month (Technially Lucas as well since it's listed as October 1st). But then again August, September, and October all had multiple character reveals in one month when Sakurai's choosing to be more reserved this time about info released for Smash 4. It should also be noted that all those character reveals were not too long before the game released even after two delays. Fall 2007 wasn't too far away from Late Winter 2008

Also I suppose I doubt SSB4's going to be released Early 2014, I'd guess either Summer or Fall 2014 possibly even 2014's Holiday Season. We have yet to confirm we're getting a returning character or newcomer reveal every month though. We had Olimar last month, but we'll have to wait and see if anything comes up for August and then September. But if the 1 month for one character is true, we'll know at least 5 more characters by the start of 2014.

Yes but reminder on brawls character reveals did a special game come out on those days olimar was added one day before pikmin 3 came out

 

[SonicMario]

Yes but reminder on brawls character reveals did a special game come out on those days olimar was added one day before pikmin 3 came out

They didn't but again we still don't know for sure if the Olimar announcement for Pikmin 3 will be the same for every new game that's related to a month. But granted I would love to know if Sonic was going to be in the game sooner rather then later.

Although I'm sure Sonic will be in the game (For the reasons I've stated many time) there is this tiny bit of nervousness that makes me want to know if he's in or not as soon as possible. If in the worst case scenario he's not in the game, I'd rather Sakurai outright say "Sonic won't be in SSB4" then have the utter disappointment of not seeing his name on the leaked roster list With or without Sonic I'm getting SSB4, but if he's somehow not in the game I'd rather know now so I could get at least alot of my initial disappointment out of the way rather then days before I get SSB4.

On the bright side if it's ever confirmed he's back before the roster leak. I can lay back and not worry about anything that is to come. Because I'll be pretty much content either way. And I suppose on the brightside if he's confirmed to be in the game via the Roster leak it might give me generally the same feelings I got when he was announced in Brawl back in 2007.

on top of that the director wanted sonic in the series and its not just popularity involved as a matter of fact remember that april fools joke on melee turns out that was never ment to be a joke sonic was indeed ment for melee as well according to a interview in a magazine but I forgot what the magazine was called so melee was too close to completion so not only we got are wish so in brawl he not only got confirmed sakurai was getting him ready the whole time in brawl and announced him when he was 100% complete

 

[Gabe Hartzog]

I would love to see Sonic come back, but with a revamped moveset and better killing power. I liked that he was a combo machine in Brawl but you had to bust your tail to get a KO. I wish he wasn't so floaty either.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Sonic could get confirmed I. October just like with a random 6th gen pokemon or mewtwo or jigglypuff or both mewtwo and jigglypuff

Sonic lost worlds comes out in october and there's a chain reaction on characters are confirmed

Olimar revealed for the celebration of pikmin 3 one day before that came out in Japan

Luigi from his 30th anniversary and for another game celebration link on his character page Mario and luigi dream team

 

[BaPr]

I completely love Sonic. If sonic never got in Brawl, my sister would'v never introduced me to Smash, and I would've never met such an awesome community. I have no doubts that he will make it in, but I don't think anyone else from the Sonic series would join him.

I just hope he gets a FREAKING PROJECTILE that isn't a stupid spring. Maybe that sonic wind kick (or whatever it is called), as a replacement for his down or side b.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

By the wa did some research chances for sonic to be confirmed lost worlds in October Oooor the next Mario and sonic at the Olympic Games is coming out in november

Yeah if he's going to be confirmed this year it's likely it's going to around the release date of Sonic Lost World or the next Olympic Games. I hope he's confirmed then anyway.

Though it's not like if he's not, it automatically means Sonic's not in the game. Maybe he'd show up as a popular veteran in E3 2014 along with whatever is the surprise newcomer.

 

[BaPr]

When I play a Sonic stage in the next Smash, I hope I get to hear this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlCArsA_yMY
That is my only wish. Just hope they have both a remake, and the original. If they did this
That

would​

rock!​

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I'm willing to be the Green hill Zone will be a retro stage while a new one would be based off Sonic colors. Probably Tropical Resort. Double if Eggman still makes announcements.

 

[StupendousMike]

Oh my god...

I'm... I'm getting old.

I used to wake up every Saturday for that show, and I own the DVD box set. Don't feel too old, because if you are, then I am too and I won't have that.

That said, I can't be the only one who feels there was a real missed opportunity in Sonic Generations by having Classic Sonic be a mute, and not voiced by Jaleel "Urkel" White, right?

 

[ryuu seika]

Late night post was bad, please ignore.

Nah I think I was ok with Classic Sonic being mute. It's like those old cartoons that had characters that spoke only with gestures and charades. I think there's a certain charm about that.

It's too bad Classic Sonic is so small, I would of loved the possibility of having Classic Sonic as an Alt. costume. But it'd require changing Sonic's hitbox given the size difference seen in Sonic Generations. So even if the Classic Sonic was an alternate costume, it'd be like including two different Sonic's simply because you couldn't have the same hitbox with a smaller character.

 

[Espy Rose]

They were actually going to use Jaleel White for Classic Sonic in Generations too, but decided that they preferred the mute voice.

Sad days.

 

[APC99]

I think they confirmed Sonic in the gameplay footage of Sonic Lost World at Gamescom... the dude representing SEGA said so (I believe.)
