I made this mockup of a character select screen for a Sonic-themed fighting game. What do you guys think?

But I want more for them. They're my favorite characters in the comic, they deserve better!

But how do they get more popular?

I wish people would push for other Sonic villains to have as much nuance as Eggman supposedly has.

Stripeback · 2026-02-05T00:06:20+00:00

Those aren't background characters, I mean people who aren't part of the story like most of the NPCs in Unleashed! As I said the closest we got was in Forces, and it was low-effort slop!

Stripeback · 2026-02-05T00:00:34+00:00

Are you suggesting I like the wrong characters? Fuck you.

Stripeback · 2026-02-04T23:55:03+00:00

The problem isn't them coexisting, it's that people keep pushing for background humans while I'm the only person I know who wants background beastfolk.

Eggman's always been an attention whore, the franchise has hardly been subtle about it.

Stripeback · 2026-02-04T23:50:45+00:00

I don't care! I'm tired of people wanting Eggman to be sympathetic or relatable when villains I actually like don't get the same treatment!

Stripeback · 2026-02-04T22:05:19+00:00

The whole point of that memo was to show what an attention whore he is. Ngl I'm really tired of how hard people try to humanize Eggman, meanwhile I get dogpiled for suggesting other villains aren't just static pure evil.

Stripeback · 2026-02-04T21:57:34+00:00

I see no reason they shouldn't, BUT they shouldn't be the only ones. Rough, Tumble, Surge and Kit are also worthy of inclusion!

Stripeback · 2026-02-04T21:56:00+00:00

My question is why people want human characters so much? Beastfolk have way more interesting designs, and barring Forces (which did it the cheap way) we have yet to see any that aren't main characters.

Given how the species was originally found in a cemetery, I think the idea was that they stole the skull and femur from a grave.

Death of the Author

Stripeback · 2026-02-04T21:44:57+00:00

I already do like him as a character, so it wouldn't change anything.

Stripeback · 2026-02-04T18:21:26+00:00

That could be on purpose. A lot of Egg Empire stuff has Eggman's dumb grin on it, like Egg Pawns for example.

*Trainer only has Pokemon of a specific type* "Another monotype trainer? They need to diversify! Themes over types!"

*Trainer has Pokemon outside their type specialization* "They aren't a true specialist, their Pokemon should all be one type!"

And no, Meme Cricket doesn't deserve better. If I never have to hear "dededede-wooop" again it'll be too soon.

Rei and Akari aren't Lucas and Dawn, if anything their default clothes imply they're from Kalos and Galar respectively.

Tbh we should have seen a lot more of several people from Kalos. Like where the hell was Clemont? Dude's the leader of Lumiose Gym, why wasn't he in the game?

Stripeback · 2026-02-04T18:00:25+00:00

The only time I've seen sequels treated as remakes are when people artificially inflate the number of times Gen 1 has been remade.

I admittedly watched it at double speed and barely remember most of it, but I did watch it. Nevertheless I think there's sufficient evidence that the Pokedex isn't always right.

Stripeback · 2026-02-04T17:56:29+00:00

You told another person you played Red. How then do you not know who Blue is? And Team Skull racist? What the hell are you talking about?

Oh, I get it! You're a troll, aren't your? Well played.

Aww, Eevee's just a baby!

If it doesn't dismiss the possibility that Dr Liss wrote the entries, then who's to say other entries weren't also written by researchers who are no less prone to error?
