(Or maybe this belongs in the Sonic forum?)

My birthday is this Friday. I consider this a welcome birthday present.

nice, although I got no clue how he would be seeing as I've never seen him fight (other than rolling around and bouncing on stuff)

[Captain Obvious]

It's finally happened. A real Sonic vs. Mario in the same game killing each other. All we need now is the original megaman and zero and I'm all set.

Well, I'm sure one of his moves will probably be a charging tackle similar to Jigglypuff's Roll thing.

Then his Up B would likely be similar to Samus'.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is now just about perfect for me!

It looks like his Final Smash will probably be to use the Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Sonic.

Sonic blows...but whatever, his moveset does look a little better than I anticipated it being, either way, jigglypuff will totally pwn him :P

[Bulbasaurus Rex]

But it hasn't yet been revealed whether or not Jigglypuff is coming back.

The video shows his B move. I posted a few of the differences in the Smash Bros forums (http://forums.gamewinners.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=82) (where this thread would normally go, as the thread starter wasn't sure). Basically... it seems to charge faster, can hit multiple people, he can jump during it/out of it, and so far it doesn't look like he can turn around whereas Jiggles can turn around.

His Up B is a springboard, it's shown twice (I think) in the video (with a sound effect on one of them). The really interesting part is that he attacks after using it, but before touching the ground. Perhaps that's part of increasing the aerial combat potential that Sakurai (the guy in charge of making the game) posted about awhile back.

Wow, this will be the first game sonic is in taht is actually worth a damn since 1993 or something lol.

[soupbone101]

i rember i always wanted sonic to be in a super smash bros. game now he is! they will have to add shadow or eggman now

[Dubber Rucky]

Awesome! I remember the Sonic game back in the days of the Sega Genesis. Can't wait to get this game and Pwn people using Sonic.

[Hashinator89 v2]

Now this totally makes that one EGM April Fools Joke totally lame anymore.

[Satanicat]

Oh man, the only other character to make this game perfect would be Megaman!!

Also, who here thinks that Sonic will be the new Speed King? I bet anything he's gonna be the fastest little prick in the game.

[Crosshair?]

I'll bet he'll handle just like hie does in all of his other games...he tends to build up speed slowly...not all at once. In other words Fox will still be faster :)

[Captain Obvious]

Oh man, the only other character to make this game perfect would be Megaman!!
The ORIGINAL Megaman.

Also Brawl is delayed to Feb 08 (Birthday present maybe?)

[Mr. DNA]

My childhood fantasies of a fight between Mario and Sonic will finally come to fruition. Mario will win, of course.

[Bulbasaurus Rex]

Also Brawl is delayed to Feb 08 (Birthday present maybe?)It's February 10, not the 8th.

Mr. DNA, I agree with you except for the part about who wins.

It looks like he has a very unique set of controls. It will be fun to see how he plays.
