Sonic is no more of a "fighter" than Tails is. That is an invalid point imo.

Look at Peach, Zelda, Captain Falcon. None of them were "fighters". Fact is, in SSB, every character is a fighter, regardless of how they were portrayed in their other roles.

It really doesn't matter, though. I don't think they'd waste two third-party characters on one game/series. The last will probably be from Megaman...

If I figured out another Sonic character got into Brawl (which won't happen), and I ended up figuring out it was Tails, I would slam my head into my TV until I lost consciousness.

Sure, but most of them look to have fighting ability which Tails doesn't. Sure Sonic isn't pictured as a fighter, but he actaully does fight in most of the games he's on. Knuckles is what I'd call a "fighter" and would deserve to be playable.

I beg to differ, for numerous reasons.

1. Knuckles is more important, more liked, more known, than Shadow. He would have a better chance.
2. Tails, same as above.
3. Robotnik, same as above.

4. HE WOULD BE A CLONE, as you stated. SSBB is trying to stay away from clones, therefore it's a no go.

But, I really don't think any of this matters. There probably won't be another Sonic character in the game. Sakurai said there was only going to be 2-3 Third Party characters, iirc.
Um, your wrong? Sad as it is, Shadow is more popular than any of those characters.

We're not gonna get another Sonic char anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Best we can hope for (or hope not for, if you don't like him) is for a Shadow colored alternate costume.

I didn't really bother reading the TC's first post. It seems this confirmation of Sonic has deluded people. Tails will not show up as a playable character. He will be an AT at best.

I really hope Tails is in the game at some form.
But idk what the chances are of Sega giving Nintendo 2 of their main characters to be playable.

No he isn't.

You could ARGUE Tails or Robotnik, but

Knuckles >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Shadow. Most fans agree.

But really, should we be arguing? There won't be another playable Sonic Character, it's almost a given. Probably Tails or Knuckles will be an AT, and Shadow could be an alternate costume.

You're right, we shouldn't be arguing, but while I agree that Knux > Shadow, and most old school Sonic fans agree, most Sonic fans would say Shadow.

Valid point:

Old School Sonic fans would probably say Knuckles, whereas newer Sonic fans would probably say Shadow.

IGN thinks that Tails will make it. (Go read their article, dont feel like looking it up and posting the link).

Tails for AT!

Save third parties for geno/bomberman/rayman/megaman(megaman #1)
Honestly, I don't think Tails would take one of their spots if he was playable. SEGA loves to put pressure on people to add more then just Sonic when they bring in Sonic also IGN claims Tails will make it and they guaranteed Sonic earlier.

I think Tails will make it as an AT.
We will have to wait and see... IGN seems to beg to differ on this subject. If you know SEGA's personality, they likely put in the terms that Tails has to be in with Sonic. SEGA is like that.

Hmm, that does sound a bit interesting Tails is like the Luigi to the Sonic series, though it does sound unrealistic that Sega would get two representatives.

Could you please provide the ling to the IGN article you keep refering to? Thanks.

Can I see that article? I'm not doubting it exists, I just can't find it. I looked on their site.

Then how about you link it here, *******.
I did ******... read my posts before commenting on them next time. Here it is again... although it is only 5 posts back for Mr. ADD...

http://wii.ign.com/articles/826/826142p1.html

You know if your going to read IGN news about Sonic characters, might want to check the news article talking about sonic being added (that is where it is). Scroll down to last paragraph of article under the video.

Look at the post time, douche. They were STP.

I was referring to this:

(Go read their article, dont feel like looking it up and posting the link).
Furthermore:

Oh, and we wouldn't be surprised to see Tails make an appearance as well.
That's quoted from IGN. How in God's sweet, sweet name does that imply he'll be in as a playable character?

Doubt Tails will be in. It would be cool though to have him, so he can face Luigi.
