One of the most wanted characters appears in the Brawl Countdown
A favorite among the population appears in Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Rick52 goes into deep detail about this character.
Day 7: Sonic the Hedgehog
Series: Sonic the Hedgehog Series
First Apperance: Sonic the Hedgehog [Genesis, 1991]
Last Main Apperance: Sonic Rush Adventure [DS, 2007]
Smash Experience: Newcomer
Intro: Some people don't like Sonic. Maybe its the old Sega hatred in them back in the SNES days. Maybe they're only experienced in his good-to-mediocre-to-awful 3D games. Or maybe they're jealous that they haven't had the joy to experience more of Sonic the f'in Hedgehog in his awesome games. Like most of his 2D outings. Most of them are pretty awesome. Play them.
Standard B: Homing Attack. His main method of attack in the 3D games seems simple enough from what I've seen. He gets into his patented spinning motion, and goes right for the nearest thing he can find. Pretty simple. Thankfully for him, unlike in his 3D games there's NOT a 40% chance a missed homing attack will send him into an oblivion pit. This time, its just around 3%.
Side B: Spin Dash. Sorta. It doesn't have homing capabilities, it's just him dashing forward in his super attack spin ball. Of awesome.
Up B: Spring Jump. The spring makes the same "BOING!" sound as it does in the old 2D Sonics, and as such Sonic in Brawl is the most awesome thing ever. See, I was worried that it was gonna make that lame "bonk" sound such as in the later games, then I'd be downright sad. The bonk sound is lame, the BOING! sound is pure win. In other news, Sonic gets some great height with the spring, and should make for a good recovery.
Down B: Spin Dash. Uh, I mean Spin Charge. 'cause he's chargin' hiz lazers. I mean, himself. To Spin Dash. At foes. Awesomely.
Final Smash: Super Sonic. Finally, for the first time since 1994, you can use Super Sonic outside of the Final Boss! Shame its not an actual Sonic game. It seems to work like Pikachu's Volt Tackle where he can fly around, killing anything he touches. I bet hitting A makes him dash in a certain direction.
Other Notes: Sonic seems to be a fast character in the game, which is, you know, obvious. He better be the fastest character in the game. It just wouldn't be right if Sonic was somehow slower than Fox. Also, I don't like how the other characters' representation was geared toward the new games. Shadow the not-f'in Hedgehog is a confirmed Assist Trophy, while awesome Tails and awesome Knuckles get knocked back into mere background duty in Sonic's stage (along with Silver the Hedgehog, whom I haven't seen enough of to form an opinion towards).
My Expectations: I'm a big Sonic fan, having grown up with his awesome 2D games, and it seems like Sonic has been represented well. I look forward to jumping and spinning my hapless foes with Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic the f'in awesome Hedgehog.
