NEITHER.

Sakurai has said only 1 or 2 third party characters will make it in.

It seems if they're going for exclusive characters from other companies, they should probably get the best character to represent companies, instead of pulling a bunch from one.

Sonic and Megaman. No Tails. No Shadow. No Knuckles.

Give it up.

Sonic has plenty of moves. He does not need Tails to tag along.

Have you played any Sonic games since Sonic 2?

And Megaman is definitely better than Bomberman.

I don't want either. Sonic is enough. But if I had to pick, Tails. Shadow sucks.

He means if they put in another Sega character BESIDES Sonic in SSBB.

S2B2 is the most ridiculous acronym ever.

Thanks McFox, and I'm not a "he". ;P

xianfeng, I'm 90% sure that they will put Sonic in.
So in fact of that I think they rather let Tails than Shadow in.

Of course that's not confirmed.

All confirmed characters are in the first post of the Confirmed Character Discussion.

Believe it or not, we know this. That's why what we are doing is called "speculation" instead of "extrapolation."

In the unlikely case there are two Sonic characters in Brawl, I'd prefer Sonic and Tails over Sonic and Shadow.

That being said, odds are Shadow will be a costume of Sonic, and Tails won't be there.

As for the abbreviation, in written form SSBB > S2B2 and in verbal form Brawl > All, if more explanation is needed "Smash Bros Brawl" is less syllables and more self explanatory than S2B2 of SSBB.

Knuckles the Echulia for the gold. I have difinitive proof that Knuckles and not sonic will be in S2B2 (This is in fact, a lie)

Knuckles the ECHIDNA. what the eff is an Echulia?

And you have definitive proof of Knuckles being in it rather than sonic? Sounds interesting, I'd like to see this proof. You think knuckles would have a jump like peach, except that he glides?

Ever thought the possibility of having another SEGA character besides the Sonic ones?. Sonic is a definite, but maybe we could have NIGHTS, AiAi from Super Monkey Ball or even Billy Hatcher. Billy Hatcher is yet a Nintendo exclusive game.

I'm thinking it's his fair move. and a very limited 3rd jump. And he can wall crawl for a VERY limited time

I'm also thinking he'd be somewhat heavy dispite his glide

No.

1)Nobody likes Tails... Tails only has Sonic as a friend, and only wishes that he was as cool as Sonic is. On top of that, given the choice of playing Tails or Shadow, people would chose Shadow.

2)Fan Base. Shadow's popularity grew so fast, that Tails wouldn't have a chance of getting in over him anyways. In just around a year, Shadow's fan base is easily much larger than Tails Fan base will ever hope to be.

3)Did anybody else actually purchase and play Sonic Battle? If you picked Tails over Shadow, then I'm sincerely doubting it. Shadow had a larger range of attacks, and even brings in his famous Chaos Control. His character had his own very unique fighting style (they all did). He had no similarities to any of the charaters. His moves were both very creative, and also much more impresive than Tail's moves were.

4)Did Tails ever have his own game? The answer is no. Tails was not worthy of a game all to himself. Tail's personality was nothing in comparision to Shadows. Tails is a close friend of Sonics, wants to be a hero like Sonic, and was always afraid of doing something wrong all the time. Now lets look at Shadow's personality....

5)Shadow is a powerful hedgehog that is even more powerful than Sonic is. He is Also Sonics Rival, and not his friend. He is quick, clever, and thinks only of himself (in most cases). He has an "upfront" personality, rather than a "I want to help you Sonic" personality. This what gives Shadow his darker personality that trumps Tail's personality any day.

shoklan, Tails has two Game Gear games. He actually had more games than Sonic first(before Sonic CD, anyway) But yes, Tails is just a Peach with new moves. He'd also either float for a long time, or be a floaty. Shadow is better because he's more of a Falcon, but with projectiles and originality. He'd be better than Tails anyday.

BTW, the names of those games are Tails' Skypatrol(bad game) and Tails' Adventures(really excellent game)

:psycho: I'm new <.< Uh i think in this situation there'd be a better chance of knuckles and tails going in to ssbb because they have more moves from there previous games and if they put tails in it he won't be handicap( sunk down to robotnik's level) but be able to move more freely. They wouldn't make him fly but they'd do something with his jump.Knuckles i don't know how'd they replace the gliding move because it'd be cheap to climb off the side of the walls. (I know this is pretty long bare with me :laugh: ) If they were gonna put shadow in the new one they would've put sonic in the old one and shadow would be kind of a clone like (fox falco/ Dr mario mario)Just with a bit of diffirences. :p i'm a Tails Fan ^-^

Without a chaos emerald and his air shoes, Shadow is a just sissy black hedgie. I say put Amy Rose cuz she is cute and will annoy many people to death :chuckle: .

BTW, the Shadow the hedgehog game sucks TEN more times than Tails Adventure. And Im compairing a GC/PS2/XBOX game to a Game Gear game.

Tails is more well known and more original, Shadow is just a black Sonic. you could say that Luigi has a want to help you mario personality yet he's still more popular than Bowser or Wario

...Why are you all saying that Shadow would be a clone of Sonic if their both in? Sonic RUNS (with feet on ground) and to my knowing Shadow can do some kind of rockit-boot-skates looking thing. They are both very different and both very good characters IMO.

People need to open their minds more, just because 2 characters look alike and/or are from the same game they think that their going to be clones. Like with the Wolf and Fox thing, people go on like " NO! He would just be a slower clone of Fox and Fox already has a clone!"...Not knowing that Wolf ,in the S.Fox games, was faster then Fox and had a completely "self made" fighting style. Any way I think that there are so many fighting styles in the world that it would be pretty easy to make the game characters VERY different.

I would have to say that Shadow would have a better chance then Tails. Hes newer, darker and more battle mature then tails. The only good thing I see with tails is the whole flying thing...and they could do that with Shadow's boots.

If we had to choose I would choose Tails. Not only is he better than Shadow but Shadow. What a wimp, Sonic has to run, but he uses roller skates... I mean, air shoes... whatever. I don't give a **** about what Tails does in his games, he has great potential, and is a genius. When pute fully into it, Tails will go circles around Shadow. Brains usually triumphs over brawn.

Tails has a better chance because he has a better game, he is more popular, more well known and more original

I had always played tails in the sonic and tails games on genesis. so yeah, i would choose tails over shadow anytime of the day. I thereby find two of your five conclusions to be false. ^-^

1. I think they would only bring Shadow/Tails as a second Sonic character . . . not because of another game they have been in.

2. Shadow is also pretty popular( Popular enuff ot get his on recent game at least) and seems better suited for this game imo.

3. . . . They are both very well known. Anyone that knows about sonic knows both of these characters.

4. A character that moves around on "air boots" with chaos power is less original then a character that flys with it's twin tails? I have seen both "air boots" and tail flying many times. . . but not the chaos powers.
