    That's not what got me, it's the fact there are so many of these stupid characters they practically overshadow Sonic. What makes it even worse is that these aren't even ALL of them.

    making cool music no one gives a shit about
    That's certainly true. I don't mind seeing them in spin-offs and the like, however. Kind of like how Waluigi and Daisy never show up in the main Mario games. Ever. (And Mario Land doesn't count. >_>)

    I'd never want to see the Chaotix/Cream/anyone in that deviation (Save for Sonic, Knuckles, Silver and Tails) playable again. In a multiple-branch story, however, I wouldn't be unhappy to see them, but only as a story development character.

    This cast is PERFECT for a fighting game, or any other multiplayer spin off.


    What, am I the only one who enjoys the multiplayer titles?

    Nothing that concerns this place in the least.
    Sonic R and Sonic the Fighters, I don't mind at all. I'd take Sonic R over Riders any day of the week.

    S'not a problem unless they try to make a standard platforming game that includes all of them, then it gets inundated.

    I have no problem with having many other characters over the course of the series -- I mean, shit, nobody ever complains about the number of characters in the Touhou series: http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/10/27/t...grand-assembly/

    It's just important to have them get some sort of character development and not get overexposed.

    No, I am not working on any hack, fanart, or website.
    I suppose there are at least 100 characters. What kind of a game is this, anyway? ;)

    Sonic seems to have become a somewhat obscure character in the franchise lately. I'll vote for him.

    lol That's what I was talking about in my earlier post. XD; Nack is so epic as the final boss.

    And the poll appears to be over now. Last I saw it Fang was leading but Mighty was behind by only 1%.

    If anything, AAUK might posts the results sometime.

    I just had a horrible thought.

    What if all this was just to add new characters for Winter Olympics?

    They would have added a new random robot character like they did in the first Riders =P

    At least if Nack really did win, that means if Sega uses this for a game, we will have a new villain in the new series instead of one more to add to the list of companions, not that I'd mind an alternate cast of friends in a different game.

    Which would be interesting. Why not give Tails and Knuckles a break and have Sonic bump into Mighty and Ray every once in a while?

    I swear, I had a dream about that a week ago :)

    It was a pretty good dream actually. Mighty made a comeback in the winter games, and I was overjoyed to see him. Seriously, I think it would be amazing to see the little guy back, I've been a fan since about 2000 when I saw some art and thought what a cool guy. So it's a bit of nostalgia for me. But I'm not putting my hopes all on the fact that chaotix returned and now Sega are going to let anyone back. It's more than likely we won't see the old characters back again.

    Right as I did it with the previous poll, since people on Retro are interested in the specifics I can tell you the full results in detail.


    Fang/Nack 20%
    Mighty 18%
    Tikal 13%
    Chaos 12%
    Ray 11%
    Other 7%
    Tails Doll 6%
    Bean 4%
    Gamma 4%
    Metal Knuckles 1%
    Bark 1%
    Heavy & Bomb 1%

    I'm afraid I can't tell you the other breakdowns per gender this time as the app messed up a bit.

    There's a new for fun only poll up now asking if you could pick a theme for a Storybook series title what would you pick.
