Some of y'all were pessimistic about a Early Banjo release and now everyone is optimistic about an early Terry release lol.

If they add Tails, it would feel empty without Knuckles. And vice versa. Adding just Eggman won't leave a bad feeling.

Sonic having a Mario-level number of characters is my worst nightmare

There are far more secondary characters from the included third-party series that I'd like to see than from any of the Nintendo series.
  • Tails
  • Knuckles
  • Sephiroth
  • Chun-Li
  • M. Bison
  • Akuma
  • Alucard
  • Geese Howard
On the Nintendo side it's really just Dixie Kong for me.

No Eggman shoutout? I'm sad.

M. Bison would be amazing though. My first pick for a third Street Fighter character.

I'd consider a second Sonic rep (Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Dr. Eggman, Metal Sonic or Blaze), Zero, Ms. Pac-Man, Chun-Li, Sephiroth, Jeanne and Alucard as valid extra reps for third party franchises (also Heroine; but I don't know how likely that is).

Shame that one of those is suffering from ownership issues.

Dictator would be hard to implement in Smash since his Head Stomp/Devil's Reverse have tracking, and good luck tracking in a multiplayer match. Charge motion back/forward would be a bit awkward too unless they just gave him his Alpha fireball, but I expect most people would want Psycho Crusher instead of that.

If they do a charge character, it'd make more sense for Guile since he's already halfway finished (he even has animations for double jumps and knockdowns!) and you wouldn't need to charge for Sonic Booms since you could slap them on neutral B, but he's also an assist trophy, so *shrug*

I have a hard time visualizing Eggman as a playable character. He's rather large on his own, and he'd ideally be in some sort of mech, which would make him even bigger. He just seems better suited as a boss to me.

If they were ever to add a secondary non-echo Street Fighter character, I can't see it not being Chun-Li. (But then I thought she would have been the SF AT and we got Guile instead, so what do I know?)

Why add a character who only has the kicks when you can add a character with the kicks and dozens of other moves (Seth)?

I think they could fudge it. You can see how big he is in the Genesis games:

Then put him in something like this:

latest


But like Ridley, I'm sure if Sakurai really wanted it for some reason (he doesn't), he could make it happen.

"second rep" reads as "not an echo" to me and I sure can't imagine Ms. Pac-Man being anything but an echo

they already had to stretch pretty hard just to make a moveset for Pac-Man

Couldn't he essentially work the same as Bowser Jr., just bigger/heavier? In a little hovercraft with multiple weapons?

she could be more of a semi-clone; removing the NAMCO Arcade references and sticking only to Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man games for her moveset

(aka no Galaga tractor beam or Mappy trampoline)

I'll repost the suggestion I had earlier in this thread:

I would use the mech in Sonic The Fighters as a basis:

latest


Incorporate the cannon and some of the other elements from the Egg Walker:

egg-walker-sonic-adventure-2.png


And then you're good to go. The legs could disappear during jumps and in mid-air he's using the Egg Mobile:

latest

This would differentiate him from Bowser Jr. with some liberties taken.

Sonic's next character is tough because Tails sucks, but it would be weird to get Knuckles before Tails. You can do Eggman but he'd be tough to implement without looking wonky as hell next to Sonic. Like, Shadow as a semi-clone is the only one that feels plausible to me.

Tails only sucks in modern Sonic. Sonic Adventure 2 and prior he kicked ass. He is literally an invincible god in the Genesis games.
