Strong Guy

Metal Slug style run n' gun where you play as Eggman and Tails gunning down GUN/Eggman's robots while aiming to reach the goal as fast possible while destroying as many enemies as possible. Gamma, Omega, Egg-Robo and Chao walkers would be nice bonus characters too.

Knuckles Chaotix is a blast for me to play. Mastering the rubber banding feels so good for me and knowing how to use it to your advantage to gain crazy speed is incredibly satisfying. It's my favorite of all classic series games, and it's music and aesthetics blow all the others out of the water and even gives Mania a run for it's money. I just love the Chaotix crew too. Sonic the Fighters is a game I see everyone give a hard time, but I've always loved it. The characters are so colorful and full of life, the cartoony moves, animations, and watching the cast squash and stretch as they get pummeled is such a joy to look at. I seriously wish more games in the series took more ques from Fighters. The models of each character in this game are phenomenal too. I honestly think that if you took the character models from this game and just added a few subdivisions and HD'd them up, they'd be the ideal 3D designs for the whole cast for me. I'll give an honorable mention to Shadow the Hedgehog, while I hate the games grungy aesthetics for this series I always had a lot of fun speeding through the most of the stages since you move so damn fast and the way the game handles wider, more open levels that force you to explore is honestly something I wish the series would've stuck with. I like objective mission based gameplay so what can I say. Destroying enemies in a single shot with the Shadow Rifle is really satisfying and I loved going through expert mode. I also love the way characters interact with Shadow through the stages and the call backs to SA2 hit me in just the right spot even to this day. There's a lot this game did that I enjoyed despite the overall package being incredibly lackluster and sometimes downright embarrassing. I won't mention Heroes or Riders because those are good games.

Basically any 4kids voice. Rouge and Vector are particularly awful. Gamma was notoriously bad too but not as easy to hear since iirc the only time we hear his 4kids era voice is during the sonic x adaptation of sa1.

Who the hell was asking for a lazy and limiting fan character creator for these games? Or do you mean to say that the avatar was made in response to people wanting other playable characters again? Either way, what an awful way to “listen to the fans”.

How on earth does this translate into giving Sonic a filthy redesign?

I know this is a Sonic forum and it's easy to draw parallels between the two characters, but do you really honestly, honestly think Sonic can withstand one solid punch from Goku? These topics are always dumb because dragon ball characters are literally too strong for them to be even put in these silly hypotheticals. Tien upon introduction could solo the entire Sonic cast 10 times over, let alone Goku jfc. And even starting with someone on Tien's level is being generous.

I tend to always prefer the Japanese voice cast but some games don’t give you the option to change the language. So I came in to say Marc Biagi as Vector. His voice is literally perfect for the guy and it’s probably a huge reason why I love Vector so much to begin with. He did so well making Vector sound grounded and realistic with lines like “darn I forgot to pay the electric bill“ and “why do you think we’re here, how else are we gonna make the rent?” It’s got the perfect level of gruffness and yet he doesn’t sound over the top like a cartoon, it sounds believable and ugh it’s just so great. Vector’s 4kids voice was horrendous and I don’t like his current VA. I have gotten used to it and I don’t hate it like I used to, but he’s got nothing on my man Biagi. Literally the perfect Vector for me. I also really miss David Humphrey as Shadow and Ryan Drummond as Sonic. They were the perfect English voice actors for those two. The current ones just don’t feel like Sonic and Shadow at all for me. I will give Sonic’s current VA credit though and say that his voice is perfect for Boom Sonic. But just as Jaleel White is great for AoStH Sonic, it doesn’t suit game Sonic at all. At least for me.

I could probably answer for him. The problem is literally because he isn't a furry.

How the heck do you manage that unintentionally? You have to fly through a precise spot in the hotels collision, land on one small tile out of bounds that's able to be stood on, and then fly to emerald coast.

There is still nothing Eggman about that. It’s just a generic looking animal in Eggman-like attire. Lacks all the heart (and weight) Eggman’s got. Once again this leaves me asking, you just don’t like Eggman. So what is the point in making some half assed Eggman-like critter when you can just omit a character like that from existing in your sonic fantasy headcanon? Just to please fans besides yourself?

I've actually been wondering about this for a really long time. I've tried to do some research on whether or not you get matched up with actual people and couldn't really find anything. I myself was suspicious of the opponents I've went up against but some races take an incredibly long time to start and sometimes I'm so far ahead of the pack I always figure I'm up against baby cpu's. Sometimes a racer or two won't even finish so I always assumed those were the bots they just used to fill in 4 players. But I really don't know. Your theory makes a lot of sense though. If anyone has any insight on whether it's actually multiplayer or you're just put up against bots I'd love to hear what others think.
