Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
unlike sonic i don't chuckle

The only Sonic franchise character that should be in this game is Robotnik
everyone else can go to hell
quoted for truth Classic Robotnik for Brawl!
If Robotnik gets demoted to assist trophy, he'd better be either in the machine with the pendulum from Sonic 1 or his car from Sonic 2.
Its yer main man Knuckles
& we be in da meteor herd
u ready 2 go in space
Help me getz da emeraldz
I would go with the pendulum but I personally see him as being in that subspace adventure mode thing as a boss….
hell I would settle for him as just a trophy as long as he is called Robotnik
when did all this eggman crap start anyway?!?

he's always been called eggman in Japan I think. The first time they used the name in America was Sonic Adventure.
Why do so many of you guys hate Sonic? I've asked this before, but it still bugs me. To each his or her own however.
Can't you guys just appreciate Sonic for his classic Genesis games? Unless you just don't like Sonic, I understand that. I don't like Jigglypuff, but that won't and never has stopped me from play Smash Bros.!
I want this game so badly. Now I can play out a true Mario vs. Sonic epic battle of the century! ^_^
Because his games have gone down hill and his radical personality gets old really quickly.
But I love the guy. Like cyringohn said, I'm glad the beyoop sound effect is back. Good call, Sakurai.
I see your point Pass the Rootbeer. Sonic comes of as a show-off and hotshot and that can get annoying. Personally, I just like him for his classic games and his iconic status. I don't pay attention to his "personality" or his newer games. That's just me though.
I'm also glad that Sonic has his classic sound effects and game abilities.
Brawl delayed?
In the words of Sonic himself, "That's no good."

Supposedly the December release date still stands.
Do
not
fucking
want.
No. NONONONONONO
As long as the website says "TBD" I'm not going to believe anything
My friends laughed at me for thinking Sonic would be in this, but who's laughing now ****tards!
@Private:

Fucking deal with it.
The reason why the game is being delayed is because the last third party character is Master Chief!!! you herd it first<<<
Joking but funny if true
Playable version characters (for those with poor eyesight)
Mario DK Link Samus Fox Pikachu
Diddy Pit Metaknight Ike Peach Yoshi
Sonic Bowser (Blue square that I'm going to say random in japanese)
That's very far from the final screen, because there is room for only 8 portraits more:
We have confirmed: PKMN Trainer, Lucas, Snake, Zelda, Kirby, Ice C., Wario, and only one more? very unlikely.
// I said that getting ahead of any that could think that.
Oh wow. Sonic is in.
SUper sonic is his final smash of course.
As sucky as his franchise has become, I still have a special place in my heart for sonic, and will play him.
Awaiting his DS RPG as well.
What's the big deal? Okay, so you don't like Sonic. It's as simple as not using him. I know his games have been "of crap" lately, but like it or not, Sonic is still a video game icon. People have wanted him in Smash Bros. for a while.
"UGH! DO NOT WANT" and other similar posts… Overreacting.
He sounds like Drummond more then Griffith in that video, imo.
I'm guessing tommorow may be info on something unconfirmed that was seen in the trailer, or hopefully moves for Sonic or Lucas.
@Cap'n:

I never thought of it before…but didn't the website always have that TBD release date below the menu? I can't really remember when it actually had the release date on there...
December 3rd was there since it was announced.
Maybe it will be pushed up!?

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe Nintendo will say something this weekend about the American Release Date at "E for All"
Damn. I seriously hope the release date doesn't get pushed back, I already pre-ordered it.
Hopefully this gives hope for Eggman aswell. ^^;
But the scary thing is, is that last night I told my brother that just imagine if Sonic was revealed tomorrow.
And he was . O_O
Saw this on Kotaku…
Our own Mike "Michael" McWhertor is heading to San Francisco for a Nintendo event tomorrow. We imagine it'll be news similar to this, but we imagine with some surprises (and North American release dates). Check back for that!
I'm not too upset about him being in, but as long as they're using SFX from the Genesis Sonic games, they could've at least used his Genesis character design and made him a mute, taking out 90% of the things people hate about him.
Despite earlier post, I don't hate Sonic as a whole.
I hate everything that comes out of his mouth.
The first line he spoke in that video instantly had me hating him all over again.
heres praying that eggman isn't on the character roster PLEAASSEE NOO…tails would be kick ass! no shadow or knuckles...just sonic and tails
Looks like Sonic wasn't enough.
@IGN:
Ok, be honest.
All you guys that were gaming kids in the Genesis/Super Nintendo era.
Seeing Mario and Sonic side by side at that one part in the video..
Tell me that did not give you chills.
Video game history, right here, folk.
I got a similar feeling from the Olympic Games trailer, but this is so much more epic.
10/10/07. The day the internets exploded. And some of you guys are more of a Buzz Kill than Buzz Killington himself. Doesn't matter though, nothing can bring me down today.
Problem with that is Mario vs Sonic now is a little bit like these dream match ups between boxers, if you wait too long you end up with horribly one sided fights because one guy suffered a streak of devastating losses and is now a punch drunk over the hill hobo while his opponent is still the undisputed champion.
Most people don't hate Sonic – they hate what he's become. It's more of a comparison thing, not an all-out hatred.
Sonic was fine before he became associated with horrible rock songs, shitty games, and some of the worst secondary [and, sadly, primary] characters in existence: Shadow, Silver, all those dumb new animals from the Sonic Adventure series, etc.
If Sega would grow some fucking testacles and revert back to the old canon, where it was just Sonic & Tails [maybe Knuckles, even though he's really lame too] vs. Dr. Eggman, we'd be in business.
Yeah. More checkered rocks, robots to destroy to free animals and wacky cartoony action and less hedgehog/human princess interracial sex, Final Fantasy drama, hummers and gangsta rap plz.

This is one of the best things I've ever read.

Basically this is how I feel about Sonic, which is why I haven't touched a Sonic game after the first Sonic Adventure. They added too many unnecessary things that just made the games even worse.
I was expecting Sonic to show up in Brawl anyway; I don't see why people are surprised he's in it. Sonic looks pretty fun to play as, he'll most likely be the speediest character out of the roster. Good thing they gave him at least some things from the old games though.
Sonic Adventure (1 & 2) were Awesome games, I loved them, And of Course, I have Sonics 1-3 and SnK on the Genesis. It's Heroes and Beyond that the games Got Sucessively Shittier, and now Sonic just sucks…
And as far as the release date goes, we Don't Know anything yet, supposedly there's a North American Version of the same Press conference as last night, tonight (or soon) we SHOULD get our Release date then, and it could only be like a week delay...
Eh, I'm a Hellsing Fan though, I've gotten used to things I want being Delayed... so this doesn't phase me that much...
This owns SOOOOO MUCH!!!!
SONIC!!!!!
Sonic games have always been… Shitty to me. You pretty much went through the old ones by holding right down and occasionally jumping. Yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun. At least some of them had Tails, who's a lot better. I don't think I have to go into these newer games, and why they're so shitty, so I won't waste my time.
I also like his moves, especially since they all looked the same. Spindash, spindash on someone, spindash in the air, it just goes on. And that annoying sound when he jumps, I just hope they're only when he jumps on that bumper thing (the name escapes me). Also, did anyone else think how wrong it is that Sonic upstaged everyone in that vid? We didn't even see him get hurt.
One more thing, looks like characters have victory poses. I doubt what they did were taunts, since they seemed to interact with each other.
Like I said at one point… Shadow should have stayed dead and content that he fulfilled his final promise to the one person who mattered in his life...
Instead they kept him alive and gave him Amnesia...
The old ones were moderately challenging.
I found the first 2 3d ones to be entertaining, yet pretty brain dead simple.(sometimes tedious)
Then shadow the hedgehog came along, which like broly to dragonball as Carter put it, is the embodiment of everything that went wrong with the series, and what people mindlessly worship and fan squeel about it.
The new 2d ones are ok, but the robots just aren't fun and interesting like they were in the original.
Stil holding out on that sonic DS RPG though. if that fails, there really is no more hope for sonic in my eyes anymore
Sonic looks fun, though I wonder if his rolling attack is hard to control (Obviously it'll be charged up, perhaps too much and you'll fly off the screen) From the footage they have up it looks like his moves draw mainly from the old games (rolling, and bouncing) as well as a few basic kicks and punches. But one of the pictures suggests his breakdancing attacks from Sonic Battle might be used (they'd be great for the c-stick)
My only problem is that Sonic brings with him his 4Kids voice actor and the crappy music.
I do wonder what his level will be. Perhaps the Green Hill Zone can be made into a level. Although some of his levels from the Adventure series are pretty cool, like the bay with the prison and all the missiles launching.
The new trailer looked good too. I liked seeing the Dixie trophy, hopefully she'll be an assist trophy.
Regardless of what everyone else thinks,
I AM PUMPED!
Can't say I wasn't surprised when I scrolled down and saw Sonic today. I was expecting him, but it was still a bit of a surprise.

I liked the music in Sonic Rush, but I doubt anything from that'll be in Brawl.
Also, are we sure that was Jason Griffith? If it is, he sure sounds better in Brawl than he did in other recent games.
dose anyone else think nights should be in this game
No.
I just noticed something weird about that Sonic vid. Part of it shows Mario using Fluud, but after he's done firing, it's still on his back. Usually when characters do moves like that, the item goes away after the move is done… Pretty weird.
I'm pretty sure it spawns a special accessory, like Wario's bike attack.
I noticed that Aldrich has compared Sonic to Poochie. That's not really a fair comparison IMHO. Sonic is an old-school video game mascot. He's the mascot of SEGA for crying out loud! He's definitely not new and contrived like Poochie. Crash Bandicoot fits that mold much better.
On the same note, Sonic is a fan requested character. I highly doubt that he would have been added just for the hell of it had there not been any fan requests for him. The demand for Sonic was high. Poochie wasn't exactly demanded. The Itchy and Scratchy people pulled him out of their asses.
Sorry for the lecture. I'm not mad at anyone, I just had to get that off my chest. I had to defend Sonic! Now you guys can have at me.
