I think the one thing that'll stick with me the longest about Sonic isn't the games, or the movies, or the music, or anything else.



It'll be that one dude in the Newcomer thread who had convinced himself that Shadow was 100% getting into Ultimate as a playable character, and would write like 10-20 paragraph long explanations over the smallest details to try to convince others that Shadow was happening, with a majority of said paragraphs being just filler text to draw out his main arguments.

Mario is the Nintendo’s mascot, and smash is a Nintendo game. Who was Mario’s rival in the 90s? Sonic. Who’s Sonic’s dark counterpart? Shadow.

But that’s not all. Mario wears red. You know who else wears red? Shadow.

Mario jumps, you know who else can jump? Shadow.

Mario sounds like Maria. Who was Maria’s best friend? Shadow.

Mario has a brother. You know who else had a brother? Shadow, but only in the comics.

Mario is in smash, so you know what that means…

10 paragraph long essay about how this somehow related to Shadow the Hedgehog

 

[MooMew64]

Also I was a "Shadow is a lock" stan pre-release.

Payed off great.

 

[Noipoi]

I don’t feel silly for thinking Shadow had a good shot. He’s one of those character that felt like they were made to be an echo fighter.

I wouldn’t have kept holding onto it after November 2018, though…

 

[Megadoomer]

I'm honestly surprised that we didn't get a single Sonic echo. Between Shadow, Metal Sonic, and maybe Tails if you stretch the definition to the levels of Chrom or Ken, there were plenty of options to choose from.

Thing is, after that, we had the mindset of "Do Assist trophies REALLY deconfirm tho?"



Which, to be fair, we don't know if they do 100%


But Ultimate sure didn't get any upgrades, so it's not a good look for the thought process.

 

[MooMew64]

Sonic content in Smash period is weak though IMO.

Two stages, both basically being Green Hill Zone? And the second one is from Lost World? Nah, man.

At least we had Reach for the Stars and City Escape, but they didn't even get the good Sonic Forces songs in there for recency bias.

 

[Megadoomer]

I would have loved to see Chemical Plant Zone as a stage. Throw in Tails as an echo fighter (though with a different recovery and a few different animations since he doesn't have Sonic's quills and he'd have a slightly shorter range), and that would have really helped improve the Sonic content in my eyes. (plus, it would probably mean that we'd get more music - at the very least, any version of the Chemical Plant Zone theme would be a welcome addition)

A part of me wonders if that's Sega's doing on the Sonic confent, because aside from recency bias there's no reason to have a Lost World stage like at all.

Also, what good Sonic Forces song? There's like 2 and Fist Bumps in the game

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

No matter what, I still feel like Tails was such a surprise omission from Smash 4 onward. He's literally one of THE sidekicks in gaming.

A reminder of my biggest complaint that Smash Ultimate base game still felt pretty dry honestly.
Just a few newcomers not in on that front like him, Ninten and Dixie Kong.

..................

OK.

The almost lack of new stages in the base game is still my biggest complaint (and new Palutena's Guidance bar base newcomers).

 

[Wademan94]

We were robbed of a Colors stage.

Doesn't have Infinite's edgy theme.

We were robbed of a Sonic Adventure 2 Stage.

And about 10 other ideas.

I’ve talked about a more traditional Sonic fighting game along the lines of Capcom Vs./Arc System style, but I think the series needs its own platform fighter as well

 

[TheMightyP]

I was robbed of 100 bucks.

And am in the hospital for the knife wounds which is gonna rob me again.

Granted I think it’s one of the weaker soundtracks in the main series, but I’d say like a good half of the soundtrack is salvageable.

Come on, you can’t deny this track’s a banger

Wha?

You alright?

I don’t think he was serious

I want to wear a Green Goblin suit and fly around on a hoverboard.

That's one of my greatest dreams.

I saw a guy do it on youtube once and it was dope.

IMO the Avatar stages are mostly bops.

Lacking Infinite's theme is also a crime.

We dodged Classic Sonic's songs, though, which is something to celebrate.

I will deny it, I don't like the synth.

The whole ost overused it, and not in a good way.

 

[Chainz]

Sup kiddos! How Smashboards these days?

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Sometimes I wish we got a full HD DS system and I can get these two games remastered:

And I'm suprised Ubi has not given this game a Switch port yet:

What, I thought we were talking about getting robbed, I wanted to join in too.

Ah you got stabbed, cut open and the guys were gonna bring you to the incinerator to make you a baked potato.

But you were like "Nah man, I ain't going for the fryer today." and you grabbed the knife and threw at them. They lay down crying and you quipped "but you there are gonna be up on the choppin block." and phoned the guys right?

not only that - he was completely convinced he would be unique. Not an echo. He laughed at those who would claim Shadow would have "Two spindashes and a spring". He also claimed he would drink motor oil or something if shadow didn't get in.

Man, the controls and level designs of NES bootleg Super Mario World are a big mess.

Right now working on castle #4.

Personally, and this probably sounds very tinfoil-hat like. But i think the only reason this didnt happen is Because Sega doesnt want characters who arent Sonic to be playable in things.

Fun fact, Yuji Naka commented on the original image of this. I'd link the tweet but the original image has a middle finger and that's just too gosh darn hecking rude for the mods

I played SA2, I'm well aware that Sonic says NO to the military.
