The Tanooki’s Daily Recap – July 20, 2007

We got some speculation today about Sonic being in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (again), and it seems to be a hot topic among fans of the Smash Bros. series. Should Sonic be in or shouldn’t he? For a while, there were two equal camps: those fiercely against the Blue Blur in the Nintendo fighter, and those dying to see him in it. Lately, it’s gotten to the point where a third, “I used to care, but have gotten so tired of debating that I don’t anymore” perspective has been formed.

I personally want to see him in. Sonic’s what got me into gaming, and I’d love to see him in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, even if he isn’t that good a character. If he’s not in the game, fans are only going to keep demanding another Smash Bros. game where he’s in it, and Iwata will once again have to force Sakurai into making a game against his will. :P

So, let’s let this post’s comments section serve as a poll. Do you want Sonic in Brawl? Yes or no? Why or why not?

    I’m still voting for Sonic in Brawl.
    With Sega and Nintendo working together so well lately, it just seems likely that Sega would push to get Sonic into the next SSB title. As you said, fans will just keep complaining until Sonic is in a SSB title. Plus, he could have some interesting moves.

    But I’m on the edge of just falling into the “I just don’t care anymore” field due to all the talk, speculation, and complaining that can be found over the topic. Hopefully Sega puts this to rest on the 26th and gets it over with. Heck, maybe we’ll even get a few other Sega characters as well (Tails and Knuckles anyone?)

    To answer your banner-

    No. Sega sucks. As does Sonic. I especially hate Sonic 2 the most. Don’t get me started on Sonic and Knuckles. Why would I ever want to go back to Sonic 2 and play as Knuckles? How lame.

    I’ve never been a fan of Sonic, so I’m pretty apathetic in the matter.

    I’ll say that it’d be nice just to have more new characters, so I vote to have him in, but if he’s not I don’t think my soul will be crushed or anything.

    i want him in solely because hes a cool character. no emotional or sentimental reasons.

  • chopstix182

    Sonic! It would be neat to play as him. I liked sonic games as a kid and have the collection for xbox. Moves could work out too. Super peel out!

    I have reached the point of not caring too, cool if in, meh if not, itll be a good game either way.

    Sonic Needs to be in this game.

    Remember what Smash Bros. is all about? The first commercial to that old Turtles tune So Happy Together. Now imagine that commercial only with another mascot-esque costume, this one: http://fursuit.timduru.org/dirlist/Other/Sonic/sonicx_launch_costume.jpg

    The appeal of Smash Bros. has always been the idea of mashing characters from different games together into one mega game to kick each other’s butts. We need to kick Sonic’s butt.

    I want him in, but my vote really goes for the “I’m sick of debating” category.
