It was a school morning, I remember checking the dojo as soon as I could, saw Sonic, got pretty excited, holy crap Sonic's in?! I remember the classic fake melee rumor about Sonic and Tails so seeing Sonic officially in Smash was mind blowing.
We probably going to get some news next week (I’m hoping) and to answer your question. Idk lol i didn’t know sonic was confirmed on Oct.10. I was into smash but I was never that serious about it at that time. I didn’t care which characters got in I just wanted to play the game. But when I picked up brawl and saw sonic I was excited and me and my cousin did the whole Mario vs sonic battles lol. Even though sonic is not my main it’s nice that’s he is in the game.
I had just split up with someone that day and was feeling a bit down - then instantly perked up when I found out I could finally beat up Sonic with Mario
My feelings exactly, do you guys think this was our boy’s only shot? Should we give up hope for his inclusion? Today would have been the perfect day for it. Maybe the delay ended up delaying his announcement? I dunno, what do you guys think? Is he done for?
I still say keep expectations low. But give up hope? No. To be fair Brawl happen a long time ago and a lot of people probably forgot sonic was confirmed oct.10. So it would be understandable if sakurai forgot sonic was confirmed on that day or sakurai have bigger plans and will give us one final smash direct this month. For all we know we could get a character trailer drop on Thursday or maybe get a direct next week. I have a feeling we might get a direct in the month of October. So I say don’t give up hope yet I still think shadow still have a chance to be in the game. If he does not make it to base him and tails could be a dlc character pack.
Shadow is an easy echo, I can't see him not being in the game. Sakurai just likes to make us sweat
Truer words were never spoken, Scottfrankd. There is NO WAY that we can lose NOW!Shadow is an easy echo, I can't see him not being in the game. Sakurai just likes to make us sweat
If neither Tails or Shadow make it in base game, I do plan on incorporating support for both for a possible DLC campaign I may start on twitter. I would be lying if I said I wouldn't I'd be leaning more towards Tails support, but there's no reason we shouldn't work together in this scenario. A package deal is worth campaigning for.
I'd be game for sure. Coordinating Tails/Shadow efforts would be optimal. A big part of the campaign would deal with making images/artwork though and people can choose to use those however they wish. But for our efforts here, I think agreeing to promote BOTH would be the best, so we don't have a situation like King K Rool and Dixie Kong.
I do plan on getting it started not long after we know the final base roster (Barring the miracle that both Tails and Shadow are in base anyway). DLC for the most part is done after the game is finished, so best to start as soon as we know for sure the fates of every character. Waiting for DLC to actually begin would probably be a mistake (Albeit we could get out first DLC Character potentially in whenever the next direct so DLC speculation may start right away anyway)I'd be game for sure.

We can get some preliminary planning going on here because they'll either make base game OR we'll need to be ready in the event they do not. In the event one makes it in, I'd happily join a campaign for the other. Shadow is my main priority and Tails is secondary but I'd readily campaign for Tails regardless
Don’t have a Twitter tbh but will make one to support shadow!Getting things started early. I've made a twitter account https://twitter.com/ShadowForSmash and this image to kick things off.
Please follow, retweet, and feel free to send me anything you'd like me to tweet out in support.
Biggest thing right now is to follow the King K Rool support playbook and garner huge visibility. If Shadow misses base roster, NOW is the time to start preparing for a massive campaign, NOT when we learn he's not in - by then it's too late as everyone else will start clamoring for their character and we get lost in the noise.
Edit: Broken image yay, just go to the twitter it's the first (and only tweet) so far that's there.
so please everyone support shadow if he don’t make it to base! Sakurai needs to know we want Shadow!
Hooray thanks!Don’t have a Twitter but will make one to support shadie
Don’t have a Twitter tbh but will make one to support shadow!
Yeah whenever you can/feel inspired, just be sure to tweet the hashtag #ShadowForSmash and follow/retweet the main account!
Nice, I remember when my friends and I made twitter accounts and tweeted Sakurai #Shadowforsmash at the time of the ballot. We tweeted out this image at the time:Getting things started early. I've made a twitter account https://twitter.com/ShadowForSmash and this image to kick things off.

I remember that image from the ballot days too!! Haha let's reuse it for this time around. I'll edit it to update it for this smash cycle and tweet it out.Nice, I remember when my friends and I made twitter accounts and tweeted Sakurai #Shadowforsmash at the time of the ballot. We tweeted out this image at the time:
We were hoping that it would start a notion and it somewhat did at the time, Shadow did gain some votes for the ballot at least because of the notion we started, so heres hoping that another twitter campaign will gain Sakurai's attention.
I'll try get them to tweet this image out too.
Also I just realised that November 15th was the release date for Shadow The Hedgehog in NA, and November 18th was the release date for Shadow the Hedghog in Europe. This might be wishful thinking but it would be amazing if there was a Smash Bros direct on either of those days revealing our favourite Black Hedgehog. Considering fans have been speculating a final direct between now and the release of Smash Bros Ultimate, it would make sense...but then again I am being pretty optimistic.
I’m assuming you are upset about us having a negative opinion on sonic forces. If you like the game that is fine because no one here is going to tell you to kill yourself and by the post of comments you send of this thread tbh I can’t take you seriously. If you are up for a discussion about sonic forces then simply post one comment.
Or....you can vent your frustrations in a single post and not clog the thread with multiple posts in succession.
Jesus Christ! This goes well beyond "double posting"... I'm calling

to take a gander at this ****.
Geez, what this madness!Jesus Christ! This goes well beyond "double posting"... I'm calling
Not all fans are like that, I personally enjoyed all of those games and I'm the type of fan who is just happy to have a new sonic game released regardless what it may be. Sonic forces actually does have a very good chance to be represented in smash bros, at the very least it's speculated that there will be sound track from forces making it's way into Smash Bros Ultimate.
I personally don't think Sonic's getting a 3rd stage. At least not in the base game anyway. I think we would of already seen it if there was a Forces stage. And while an SA2 stage would be cool, I just don't see any reason why they would. All our brand new stages are from more recent games. (Except for Dracula's Castle, but this is Castlevania's debut in Smash. Gotta have the most iconic stage first)
Never saw these commercials before but this was so cute and funny lol But yea the sonic adventures games were my first sonic game on GameCube. I played SA2 a lot with family and friends though best sonic local multiplayer.
This is another thing I consider a big point in Shadow's favour: he has the legacy of being a major part of the first ever Sonic game on a Nintendo console. A lot of people have fond memories of Adventure 2 Battle because of how popular it was back in the day (and still is). I can't see Sakurai not remembering and capitalizing on the opportunity to bring the Sonic & Shadow rivalry under his own banner.
I think it kind of started after Colors and Generations where we could finally say there was other 3D Sonic games could be considered the best 3D Sonic since while there was good things from Heroes all the way to Unleashed. But still nothing that could quite compare to either of the Adventure titles in ambition and at least at the time decent way of 3D Sonic gameplay.
Yeah I guess that’s understandable even though I don’t think the adventure games are not as bad as people claim it to be. I would love for Sega to try to go back to the adventure style again but ever since failure of sonic 06. Probably the reason we been having the boost formula for so long. Even if sega try to go back to that style a lot of fans will have high expectations since the adventures game were good at their time.
