Okay, I admit my first thread for Silver was REALLY BAD because I didn't explain anything, and as a result got so many No's it ended up getting taken down so I start anew!
Now you may be asking who is Silver the Hedgehog?
Silver never got his chance to shine
Now you may be asking who is Silver the Hedgehog?
Silver is an anthropomorphic, 14 year old white-gray hedgehog from the future. His world was destroyed by a monster known as Iblis,he rescues survivors and tries to thwart the monster, but it keeps coming back every time. Tired and desperate of his constant battles with the monster, he travels back in time, with the help of Mephilis the Dark to find and eliminate the Iblis Trigger. Though in his journey he realized he was duped into nearly causing the disaster that befell his world and helped Sonic defeat the Time-Space being known as Solaris and restore his world, hopefully.
What can Silver bring to the table?Silver is a short-tempered but courageous & kindhearted hedgehog with a strong sense of justice. He'll do what he thinks is right for the sake of the good of the future. He is also an optimist because of his strong sense of justice. In the game it was revealed Blaze the Cat was his mentor, but that was retconed, so she is really from a different dimension. He is Sonic's youngest rival
More than you think, Silver has the ability of Psychokinesis( the ability to control any type of matter),but has only mastered telekinesis(the ability to move objects with your mind). With this knowledge you can create a move set based on his mainstream game appearances, Sonic 06', Sonic Rivals, Sonic Generations, and a general knowledge of telepathy.
Pros
- Think about it for a sec, what game was he introduced in? Yeah, Sonic 06' the second worst mainstream Sonic game in the series
- He was continually bashed on and as a result he has never appeared in a mainstream Sonic game again, as playable only obtaining minor roles in multiplayer and party games
- While, to be fair he is popular among those who read the comics, but those who only play the games either hate him or love him with a passion, while his status was raised in Generations, he was never brought back again.
- This could raise he popularity and bring him back in major story roles, and maybe even his own game, which he deserves, in my opinion.
- If the Silver dlc sells well this could convince them to bring back old characters into newer games
- He may send the others into playable or story roles
Silver is one of the more popular Sonic characters
- Silver is the most popular Modern character according to most polls I've found(down below), unless you count Shadow in the modern section
- Most who see him as a glorified recolor,obviously don't know much about the character or his personality which is unfairly not giving him a chance
Silver could bring a unique moveset to the roster
- Silver is almost completely different to Sonic in almost every way, he is slow, can stun enemies, throw green balls, and throw people at a whim, which is almost completely different from Sonic in every way the only difference being they are both hedgehogs
- The ability to use telepathy would make him either a trickster, or a straight up vortex character(characters who have the ability to string moves for extra-long combos)

Neutral B-Psycho ShockSilver must get into point-blank range and slap them, it also stuns the opponent and leaves a small window of time for Silver to do massive damage, the longer it's charged the longer the opponent stays stunned, higher percentages help too, but it has a somewhat long ending lag on the ground, but in the air he experiences none of it. (Game appearance: Sonic 06) Damage: Low/ Knock back: None/ Effect: Paralysis
Up-B- Homing AttackSilver immediately shoots up in the air with high momentum, damaging those who are in range of Silver when he launches, but he then dives at a 35-45 degree angle(left or right based on directional input), that can spike, but can't be jumped out of and a must not if nowhere near the stage[It is inspired off of his original homing attack (Game appearances: Sonic Rivals)] Damage:Moderate/ Knock back: Moderate/ Effect: Spike
Side-B- Psycho Dash
Silver dashes across the screen with Super Guard, invincible at the start up while he's dashing any opponent in contact with him will be sent flying, and will receive a hefty amount of damage, but has horrible ending lag, and in a large stage its a must not, its even worse in the air cause Silver will be almost helpless if he does this over a bottomless pit, with his only saving grace being his Up-B (Game appearance: Sonic06') Damage: Moderate/ Knock back: High
Down-B- CounterSilver braces for impact, and when the attack hits, Silver paralyzes them and teleports behind his opponent to hit in the back with the force of their own attack, but be warned the attack can be blocked. This attack does not appear in the games. Damage: Depends on what he counters/ Knock back: Depends on opponent damage meter
Ground Moves:Neutral-Punch, Punch, PushSilver does a quick jab combo before pushing the opponent, a few feet away from him
Down-Tilt- Psycho Wave(Down)Silver sends a small shockwave directly downward and causes them to fall down, stops dodge spammers
Up-Tilt- Psycho Wave (Up)Silver sends a small shockwave upwards and can juggle the opponent if done at right altitude
Side-Tilt- Psych PushSilver uses this move to gain distance between him and his opponents, great for setting up combos
Up-Smash- Psycho Smash(Up)
Silver punches the opponent upwards with much more force than Psycho Wave and sends the opponent flying
Side-Smash- Psycho Smash(Side)Same thing with the up variant except sideways
Down-Smash- Leg SweepHe sweeps the opponents legs if in range, kills at rather high percentages
Dash- Slide KickSilver kicks the opponent at their ankles causing them to go in the air
Aerial:
Neutral Air- Psychic ShieldSilver holds a pose that creates a small shield for a few seconds that damage opponents only next to Silver
Up Air- Psychic Reflect (Up)Silver creates a green slide of energy above him in the air that damages opponents near it and defends or reflects spikes back at the opponent
Side Air- Psychic SlashSilver creates a green knife of energy and slashes sideways sending the opponent back, great range and can be stringed.
Back Air- Psychic StabSilver stabs the opponent with a green knife of energy that is stronger than its slash variant and kills earlier
Down Air- Kinetic ForceSilver pushes down ward sending him up the first time in a row, though second time he drops like a rock unless spiking an opponent

- Well according to this poll on http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/291423/results Silver is just under Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow
- Also this one http://www.quibblo.com/quiz/2zTuf9S/Which-is-your-favorite-Sonic-the-Hedgehog-character
- This one helps too http://www.ranker.com/list/favorite-characters-from-the-sonic-the-hedgehog-universe/snowleopard44
- And, this one http://www.thetoptens.com/sonic-hedgehog-characters/
- Also he's the most voted for in the Mario&Sonic games http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/mario-a.../whos-favorite-playable-character-sonics-team
- Found more polls http://www.quibblo.com/quiz/e2rVz4o/Who-is-Your-Favorite-Sonic-Characters,
- Top 6 in the Character Tournament http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_News_Network:Sonic_Character_Tournament
- Personally I also think Metal Sonic, Blaze the Cat, and Doctor Eggman have more priority
- So normally I would say each third-party should only have 2-3 representatives( only 1 if your not from the original 3 companies who entered a character), but since SEGA works so closely with Nintendo(Mario&Sonic at the Olympic Games series, SEGA & Nintendo deal), I think they should have 4-5, but don't get me wrong Smash Bros is a NINTENDO game, its exclusive to Nintendo consoles as long as SEGA doesn't exceed 5 I'm happy since more characters from other series are being added
- This is why I think he has a higher chance than the other characters
- 1. Shadow is an Assist Trophy meaning they have to recode him into the game, it will happen with enough support but it will have to be ALOT, like an entire first world country alot
- 2. Tails, I can't really see Tails as a fighter, still again could happen
- 3. Knuckles, HIM I see as a fighter, in my opinion first 3rd party DLC added
- 4.Metal Sonic, Same as knuckle probably third DLC added
- 5. Blaze the Cat, I haven't seen that much support for her but it could happen
- 6. Dr. Robotnik( I seriously find it hard to take a name like Eggman seriously), Smart but I personally think he'd be a Bowser Junior clone, cause every time I try to think of a balanced moveset its just an underpowered or overpowered version of him
- Knuckles, Tails, and Eggman would be great to cater to Classic Fans of the Series but, this will cause unrest in the newer generation of Sonic fans
- Only one of the trio should make it (presumably Knuckles) but one of the newer cast (Silver, Blaze, Marine, etc.) should be in it too, and Blaze and Silver are the top candidates and Silver is more known and popular
- While it is true Lucas & Ness are psychics, Pk is completely different from Silver's telepathy it consists of different kinesies; pyro(fire) electro(electric), & solar(light), Silver uses telekinesis( mind)
- Mewtwo while most similar is the very light and a high jumper & recoverer, while Silver is the same weight as Sonic, he is not nearly as fast as him, but not as slow as Mewtwo. Silver is mainly an on-stage ground and low air character. He uses his telekinesis for knockback combos, Mewtwo is damage priority character.
