Make another thread about additional Sonic characters joining the game. We need more. Especially ones about Knuckles. We sure don't have enough of those.

Knuckles, Tails and Shadow are all cooler than Sonic (my opinion), but none of them are in. Sad but true. Enough is enough already.

I'm for Knuckles, but won't get upset if he isn't in.
And, series need at least two reps.
I wonder what Sonic items and stages they will have.

There's absolutely no reason to think that. Sonic and Snake are guest characters; we're lucky we even have them alone. You really think we're getting more characters from their franchises?

It would be great to get Tails, Shadow, or Knuckles in. I love them all (they've all been my favorite character at one point or another), but it's not happening.

No other Sonic will get in sadly. They'll give the spot to another character from a different series. Knuckles would amazing though. He would have his own unique move set and he would have the ability to glide and can you say, Hyper Knuckles for Final Smash?
Nice photoshop work by the way

"My philosophy:

"Every Time you say Ridley or Knuckles shouldn't be in, God kills a Kitten."

Now please, don't be a Kitten killer."
thats the truth

I would feel bad about that, but I happen to be one of those fanboys. It's just that my dreams have already been crushed since I realized long ago that we'd be lucky to even get Sonic (what with SEGA generally being douches). So hoping for more Sonic characters is pushing it.

Don't be greedy, ya'll. Just be thankful we got Sonic.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Raul said Knuckles won't be in!
KITTY!
I warned you not to say it.
You said that everytime someone says Knuckles shouldn't be in it would kill a kitten. Not that he wouldn't be in. :p

Anyway, Knuckles should be in.I can imagine several punching moves for him.

You know, I can't fault you for thinking optimistically. It's kind of admirable.

Just. . . expect to get let down. Especially since Tails would probably be next in line if we were to get a second character.

Then how do you explain my suddenly dead kitten?
. . . Tuberculosis?

How can a cat get tubercolosis?
Probably the same way someone will think Knuckles can't be in.
By MAGIC! *spooky voice*Knuckles should be in.

You could say that.

But I could argue that Peach, Yoshi, Mr. Game & Watch, and Captain Falcon don't seem like very playable characters. But they were in Melee.

Anyone can be a playable character. Knuckles is more obvious since punching is kind of his thing, but Tails attacks with his tails in many games and has gadgets to work with, plus any moves he had in Sonic Battle. Really not that hard for him to work.


i would rather Knuckles than Tails.
I'm sure everyone does.
You shouldn't be so sure of yourself then.

Because I would much rather have Tails than Knuckles (as much as I do love Knuckles).

Knuckles would make more sense to me. Tails is really just a goofy sidekick. I've been following Sonic games, comics and cartoons since I was 6 or 7. Knuckles will probably end up as an Assist Trophy, but Knuckles has a better backstory, could have a unique move set so he wouldn't be a Sonic Clone and does play a major role in the Sonic Universe. With all that will he be in? No. Why? Because Nintendo may have the permission to use the Sonic Franchise for Brawl, but the chances of them incorporating all the major players of the Sonic series would be ridiculous, especially when they have to focus on getting characters in from their own gaming series, like Ridley and so forth.

I would take Knuckles over Tails any day of the week, but it is very doubtful he'll be there.

honestly if they have put people as unknown or unloved as lucas in the game....there's actually at least a 35-65% chance they will put in knuckles in this game....

Not so. Knuckles being third party is a huge thing that's holding him back. Yes, third parties are allowed in Brawl, as we've seen. But the focus should still be on the Nintendo characters. If we start doubling up the 3rd party franchises, then the focus starts to drift, and Nintendo knows that.

They already have Sonic. It it not logical for them to add someone like Knuckles or even Tails. Even though Knuckles does technically have a chance, I would not say he has a good one. Lucas' inclusion doesn't change that.

Dude Lucas isn't exactly unknown. He's from the same series as Ness, and is the star of Mother 3 and is Claus's twin brother. He's very popular in Japan. He's far from unknown. And I'll give Knuckles 35% thats it. Remember, this is a NINTENDO game and regardlessof how many third party characters they add to the game, this a game based primarily on NINTENDO all-stars.

The third party characters that have made it make sense...

1.) Snake--originated on NES, a classic video game series
2.) Sonic--biggest rival of Mario to date, has appeared on Wii in Sonic and the Secret of the Rings game and will appear in obviously Brawl, and Mario and Sonic at the Olympics.

Knuckles is more vital to SEGA and Sonic and all though he may appear as an Assist trophy and maybe a collectible trophy, he has no major ties to Nintendo right now and thus, will not become a playable character when Nintendo will most likely focus on characters like Ganondorf, Geno, Bowser Jr., Marth, etc. that should be there first.

i think that tails should be an assist trophy with his mech (more recent gameS) and knuckles should be his own char.(thanks to his gliding/digging/punching abilities)
