Sonic Races Into New Super Smash Bros. Lineup

The blue speed demon returns for his second Super Smash Bros. title.

Our favorite smug hedgehog is one of the many returning members to the Smash Bros. family after his debut in Brawl. He was first announced as a character in today's Nintendo Direct, and his character page on the official website accompanied the announcement soon thereafter. His several screenshots show him as cocky as ever. And if his controls are anything like they were in the previous title, he'll zoom around characters and off stages.

This announcement came after Nintendo president Satoru Iwata showed footage of Mario & Sonic At The Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. Sonic's next action-adventure platformer, Sonic Lost World will be released this month. Interestingly, the last announced character to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS was Toon Link [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/128185-Toon-Link-Returns-In-Super-Smash-Bros-for-Wii-U-And-3DS], whose retail release of Wind Waker HD is approaching. Previous announcements for the Animal Crossing villager, Olimar, and Luigi were also accompanied by related news pertaining to their respective series.

In Brawl Sonic was the fastest character, making him hard to control but fantastic if mastered. He has a high vertical recovery and can charge at people in a ball. The "blue blur" is the 17th character confirmed for the new fighter game. Who will be the 18th?

Sonic was super fun to play as, I'm glad he's back.

I also like his design more in this one, looks a little more 'classic' Sonic.

I'm totally going to main Mega Man in this SSB. Some of my fondest memories (while hazy) revolved around getting smashed and playing Brawl.

I kind of wish they would roll out these roster updates a little faster.

[HEADING=1]WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO![/HEADING] Now a big question can be answered. Who wins in a battle of Mario Vs. Sonic Vs Megaman?

I think everyone with a Wii U wins that match.

I'm most definitely going to get a WiiU for this game...

...because I DEFINITELY want to play a game where the four mains of my fanfiction (Mario, Sonic, Megaman, Link) are together canonically!

Good for him. At least he gets to be in one good game series.

Shhhh. It'll be okay Sonic. This is a safe place, Sonic Team can't hurt you here.

 

[Triforceformer]

All we need is a re-worked Mewtwo with Mega Mewtwo X/Y as a Final Smash, Captain Falcon to be "revealed", and a Ganondorf rework, and we're golden.

I think at this point it's generally accepted that the whole "Sonic games always suck" thing as passed. We have Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations, and the new Sonic Lost World looks extremely promising.

OT: Not an entirely surprising turn of events, but a welcome one none the less. Three of the biggest names in videogames ever squaring off in one game? Count me hyped.

...they better not forget to put Mr Game and Watch in there, though.

 

[Maze1125]

Well that answers the question of if I'm going to buy this version of Smash Bros. (I will.)

You two, c'mere... here, you deserve this.

Spoiler: So much win.

OT: YES. Mario, Sonic & Megaman on the same game. I doubt a single BluRay disc can hold so much awesomeness, but it does!.

That's it, I don't want a Wii U, I need a Wii U.

Wouldn't be surprised if we got the Pokemon trainer back with the Kanto starters, or if they want to shake things up a bit, the Johto Starters.

Also, undoubtedly we will get some gen 5/6 Pokemon

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Nice! This might mean that we might get either Snake or Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid in! XD

If they're going down the alternate skins route like they've hinted I wouldn't be surprised if there was a full-on tubby classic Sonic. I'd play the shit out of him!

 

[General Twinkletoes]

How many times am I gonna see that huge bold AWWW YEEEAH quoted on this page, seriously.

OT: My favourite characters are all getting ported back in, which is really cool. Sonic was fun as hell to play. Just please put in Mewtwo again, and I'll be happy.

 

[OCAdam]

This is what I'm waiting for honestly. Snake was my main in Brawl, but I somewhat doubt they'll keep him around sadly.

You and me both, brother.
