I didn't see a thread about this, and figured, this is pretty big news. MT needs a thread about this.
Sonic the Hedgehog is in Brawl!

SO! The most wanted character has finally joined.
Even though honestly, it was obvious ever since Snake was announced way back.

How do you feel about this?

personally, I feel... happy, although initially (and goes with Snake too) I was a little miffed about opening up to third party. But then I figured, technically MGS games started on Nintendo and SEGA and Nintendo have been really close lately. As long as say, Master Chief doesn't show up, I'm content.
If anything, Mario and Sonic will finally have a proper showdown.

i expected he would be in the game since Sega and Nintendo have been close lately but when i saw the vid the hype lvl went up 15000000 Sonic in my new fav character fast and his moves look bad ass. Who will be next.... Megaman Viewtiful Joe? I hope they put in someone from Golden Sun

I'm honestly not a big fan of this move. Never liked Snake and don't like the fact that they chucked him into the lot. As long as they don't push it too far by throwing in megaman or say like scooby doo then I'm fine with it. They better bring Ganandorf back though otherwise I'm going to be pissed.

However on the other hand it does bring a new and refreshing aspect to the game. They are new combatants to fight.

I like Snake! In any case, I'm not too excited about an obscure "Pokemon Trainer" or Diddy Kong in the game, either.

Other Sonic characters coming up are Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Shadow...did you know?

lol, seems a bit much considering not even Mario and Zelda series have that much. :p

still, I wouldn't say no to Tails or Knuckles.
Amy and Shadow seem like overkill at this stage, though.

it does matter to me. one shouldn't worry about such things like characters when one is in the battlefield.
destroy the enemy and win, or accomplish whatever it is you want: that's the goal.
It would be pretty wrong if they got rid of any of the former characters from melee and such. They're special enough to be in melee but not brawl? that just seems so wrong somehow....

Ah, it going to be noisy lately i'm not a fan of all this... But i'll like to see how it will going down
