Seems like a few of us called exactly this result, like @Laura and @Chimpo. People ally are glad to see her back in the spotlight at long last (and in a game that they actually have access to, unlike Dream Team). I think that the quick turnaround between the full reveal of the game and the beta launch helped too. Either way, cool. Always saddens me not to see Knuckles as more popular though.
I'm gonna say part of her popularity was also because you can spam the sleeping emote. It looks like the funniest emote in the game. Just a whole lobby spamming sleeping bunnies.
I played the beta as Shadow but intended to originally pick Knuckles but idk I was just in a very Shadow mood after Generations and Sonic 3 I guess lol The Shadow emotes also rule lmao.
Yeah I didn't see Knuckles get much play but then the Power characters also didn't get much play full stop. Maybe the play style just doesn't appeal to people? I was putting some hours into Knuckles! I personally hope for Chaos down the road and I guess he wouldn't get much play either.
You don't have to race Knuckles as a power type. Mod your cart to fit the stat you want. The options are there.
CrossWords demo has shadow dropped - thanks, SEGA, very based. https://www.sonicracingcrosswords.com/special/crosswords
Hmm... not sure how to feel about this. The handling, controls and physics are all VERY different from Transformed and TSR. It almost feels more like solving a crossword puzzle than a driving game. I'll have to reserve judgement until the full release.
Hugely disappointed with the gameplay loop. When will Japanese developers learn that turn based games ARE NOT FUN!
got 310 lol, I love pattern-matching. (they had time to change how it played but didn't add Chao in how dare you)
Honestly, it's a shame to that, despite how panned TSR was for this, CrossWords has very little replay value. You get the same course once and you've just gotta grind it to be as fast as possible (23 seconds btw). What happened to all the stuff being shown in the reveal???
Mario Kart World has rail grinding AND you can play as a cow. I'm dumping all my Crossworld stocks, it's so over.
I can shell out a couple dozen extra dollars for Mario Racing to play as a dolphin, since Sega are too cowardly to make Ecco playable in theirs.
The boats and planes in the new Mario Kart look like they handle very similarly to the Sonic racing games... first they rip off the antigravity from Crash Nitro Kart now this? they can't keep getting away with this smh... truthfully, fuck sonic racing crossworlds fuck mario kart world, my money's going towards Kirby Air Riders
