Dojo Update: Sonic: He's in it

Holy crap. I'm excited and disappointed at the same time. On one hand, I feel like Smash Bros. sold-out/caved-in/did-it-for-fanservice. But as a friend pointed out to me: Smash Bros. is all about fanservice. To be honest, I'm just jealous that Megaman hasn't been revealed yet.

On the other hand, IT'S FLIPPIN' SONIC THE HEDGEHOG.

This was originally posted on the German version of the Smash Bros Dojo, which explains my awesome image-capturing skills to the right (Best reward for staying up late--EVER). As soon as I posted this entry, the English version of the Dojo updated with the Sonic news. Some pictures [posted after the break] and a video has been posted on the Smash Bros. Dojo Website. I lost count of how many times I watched the video.

Sonic's back with his patented spin dash and hopefully some speed that will give Fox McCloud a run for his money. He's also able to use his classic springboard (which includes the epic *SPROING* noise) and a dastardly downwards dash kick. His Final Smash allows him to gather the power of the seven Dragon Balls Chaos Emeralds and turn into Super Sonic.

I know I shouldn't be surprised considering the upcoming Olympics game with Sonic & Mario, but wow. I can't even begin to express how awesome it was to see Sonic spindash into Mario.

All my childhood dreams are coming true!

so kawaii! do you think Tails is in it? I like how when you change direction you get sonics old stop sound effect! Do you think the moniters are back in action? the little computers that you broke for items?

Awesome! Sonic!

WAIT! maybee tails is his Up+B move! Tails just appears and carries sonic back to battle!!! WHAT IF!?!?!?

OH MY CRAP.

I wasn't that fussed about having Sonic in Brawl. In fact I was probably against it. But having seen that video...

WOW. I'm converted.

Words escape me. This is going to be awesome.

MK-MK Wednesday, October 10, 2007 1:48:41 PM

It looks like the Springboard move is his Up+B. I bet you Tails or Knuckles will be an Assist Trophy if they aren't a playable character. I still have my fingers crossed for Big the Cat making an appearance.

Geoff GirardinG-off Wednesday, October 10, 2007 1:52:41 PM

I reeeeeeally want Megaman. And not the new lame GBA version Megaman. I mean Ol' Blue.

AntonCaptainSeagull Wednesday, October 10, 2007 3:29:48 PM

thatspringboard move HAD a springboard in the picture, does it appear when up+B are pressed, or do you think it's an item from sonics world?

AntonCaptainSeagull Wednesday, October 10, 2007 3:34:47 PM

...i think your right though, I think it just appears for the instance.

yeeliberto Wednesday, October 10, 2007 5:40:49 PM

Maybe later they will put Ryu. hahaha

DariusDamanx1903 Wednesday, October 10, 2007 9:23:15 PM
