"In fact, using this gameplay, I think there could be a pretty awesome Sonic game developed."

This will be the best Sonic game in years...Pretty sad, isn't it!

I'm with you there, "Live and Learn" is great but "Open Your Heart" is the greatest song from the 3-D Sonics, and perhaps even all of the Sonic games.

Damn it! I was going to say the same thing but you beat me.

Although we might be forgetting Sonic Rush.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1453 on:** October 09, 2007, 09:03:56 PM »

But Rush is only good because we keep comparing it to the other recent Sonic games...

that Baby guy · « **Reply #1454 on:** October 09, 2007, 09:04:30 PM »

No, Sonic Rush isn't really that much like an older Sonic game. Sonic Rush requires memorization and guess-work, while the older Sonic games mostly avoid huge pitfalls and make you react quickly. Also, the enemies took time to learn. The bosses are better in the older ones, too.

As for the update...SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Sonic trailer was EXACTLY as I imagined it, complete with a shot of Mario and Sonic together in a victory pose.

As for the possibility of a delay, I admit that I am split in half. On one half, I REALLY wanted to play Brawl during my Holiday break. But on the other, if this means that they will be using the time to polish the game even further then by all means they should take their sweet time.

...

...

... ...

I cannot believe what I am reading, Sonic Rush is awesome (I do not know about Rush Adventure, I have not got to play it yet). Yeah, it is not the same as the old Sonic games, but it is a still great game, and more than just a "good recent Sonic game".

Anyway, no point in arguing matters of taste I guess.

I would like to know if I am the only person actually excited about the delay though, because a delay means that this game can be even better than it is now, and I am only going off pictures and how the previous games played. Remember this that Miyamoto said: "A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever", only in this example replace bad with good and good with great. At least that is how I feel.

Sessha · « **Reply #1457 on:** October 09, 2007, 09:22:33 PM »

I am very disappointed with a delay. Although I am happy that they are taking the time to polish the game so it's the best it can possibly be. But I was really looking forward to this. I suppose it's for the best

If I had to make a guess, I would wager it's probably not out of the question that a third party might have approached them at the last minute with the proposition of adding in their character... which would have required for a good deal of work (character themselves, stage, selection of music for My Music, playtesting to balance) and could easily account for a month plus delay since you have to leave a good window for manufacturing so no kinks arise.

...could just be wishful things on my part, though.

I thought that too, Arbok. I thought that, too.

Are you talking about Sonic or are you hoping for another third party character, who also happens to be blue, like me?

Mashiro · « **Reply #1461 on:** October 09, 2007, 09:31:18 PM »

Maybe they are adding Mega Man and Crono? =D

(I think Mega Man has a huge shot of being in the game now for some reason . . .)

Edit: With Monster Hunter jumping ship to the Wii and all . . . come on Capcom don't be stupid let Nintendo add the blue bomber in. Make this the biggest fanboy-gasm game of all time!

that Baby guy · « **Reply #1462 on:** October 09, 2007, 09:32:40 PM »

Those are the two most likely characters, I think. Although, it seems you know things we don't, from the look of the other thread...

No, I wasn't talking about Sonic, since he looks to be mostly done and since Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has been in the works I imagine this has been established early on in the "third party" game for Brawl. I was actually considering another firm, though... and Capcom sure is a possibility, I suppose.

Lol well . . . Crono is a real real real big reach and just a personal dream of mine.

As for the blue bomber well . . . we'll have to wait and see!

EDIT: Probably just early morning logic at work, as there is nothing stopping them from just using the victory movements outside of those screens I guess... going to cut my loses and call it a night/morning.

Adrock · « **Reply #1466 on:** October 09, 2007, 10:02:38 PM »

EDIT: Nevermind... there were spoilers everywhere. Fooled me though......

Who is surprised by Sonic being in Brawl? No one? Ok, just checking.

Come on, it was only a matter of time. I've been treating Sonic in Brawl as fact for months. I'm not bragging because I have no right to brag. Truth is, it was just too obvious.

MegaMan will be revealed at Capcom's conference thing they have going on next week (I think it's next week...)

monitory/legal agreements and all other sorts of red tape to have a 3rd party character... that never seems to come up when discussing them, and those type of things take forever to work out. Although the delay is probably heavily influenced by release scheduling, characters such as Sonic could be the very reason for the delay as well.

It looks like they have several taunts now.... I'm guessing 4 of them. Sonic shows off at least 2.

Edit: Make that 3 by my count.

Also, his animations (such as braking and standing near an edge) are all reminiscent of the old 2D games, and it looks like they did a good job with his move set.

He had better look at his watch and tap his foot for an idle animation

Sonic is in. Which means 80's Cheese Rock is in. Now theres a few things I like changed by the time it release but mainly go back to the circle feet run. Once Sonic is going fast enough his feet need to go to a circle blurb. I like how they kept his jumping sound. Hopefully though they'll opt out of having any of the other Sonic characters show up in any form but a collectable trophy or stickers. The items be fine. This would help with the loner vibe that Sonic has and Brawl could be tied back to his universe like Secret Rings was.

On the trailer. Great. I like the dancing part as sort of random. The Melee theme coming back was great. The Single Player Adventure mode seems to be shaping up but, I do still hope that they have the two older single player modes as well.
