>>108423310>You'd of made a better point if you mentioned the instashield or something actually exclusive to Sonic.I didn't have to, if I said Elemental Shields, of course that includes the Insta Sheidl, it's what is used when you don't have a shield up. The point of Sonic is to go fast by many people. The problem is when the speed takes no skill to mantain, hense why Sonic is the best one. He flows into speed flawlessly in the classic games. Tails and Knuckles do NOT. When they use their spiecal moves it kills their speed.
And no, flying over hte level isn't skill. It isn't better that Sonic. You might as well go Mariofag by that logic and use the Cape Feather as the end all be all. Which is why I brought up Ray because he's the same, but hte thing that keeps him from besting Sonic is purely based on the level design. If say, you had Sonic 2, like Tails, you just easy mode the game and that's not fun. If it's like CD, well Ray is fucked, but it works in favor for Tails.
Based on the best of the best level design for Sonic based on fan consensus of Sonic 3K/CD/Mania, Sonic overall wins. He's neutral enough to be the best playing character if you're not a shitty ass niglet that can't git gud at games.
