Finely, someone else that understands how badass Knuckles is

Many do. Besides the onslaught of Shadow worshipers that were spawned in Sonic Adventure 2, Knuckles is the (now second) most popular character, though for some reason a lot of people don't really give him the love he deserves, despite loving him... I think it's because Knuckles is always the guy in the background. Even in the stories he's in, he's never central. He's the lone wolf who does his own thing and has that quiet, stalwart personality, s I think it's why he's overlooked in some ways, but always there in peoples' minds.

You do have a point...but its his lone wolf, in your face, and punch first ask questions later [or never] mind set is what makes me like him so much. My fursona is based off of him sens I first saw him in Sonic 3 and I only grew to love him more when the games whent 3D. Maybe one day he'll have the spotlight again, highly dought it but one can only hope.

Yeah, exactly, in all ways he parallels Sonic (speaking of, I realize now I should have made his boots blue, which I think they should be naturally, to oppose Sonic's blue and red motif) As far as that, I'm kinda shocked they haven't tried reviving Knuckles Chaotix, with how much Knuckles' is loved and how infamous the Chaotix team are to people.

True...I loved that game allways playing it any chanse I could when they had it up at ToysRus way back when I was little, that game also started a good few Mighty the Armadilo fans and to me he got the short end of the stick in Sonic Heros but ah well. Tails has had two gamegear games of his own way back in the day, Amy got her own in japan [was a school game so you know that sunk fast] and Shadow got his own game explaning his past and how pissed off at the world he is, maybe one day Knuckles can have his own maybe have Rough and Shade show up in it like suporters like the other Sonic characters were in Shadow's game

I try to deny that Shadow the Hedgehog (the game) EVER happened, because it sucked and it's story was total bullshit. We understood well enough that he was a biological experiment made by Robotnik's grandfather as an ultimate weapon and so on... we didn't need all the space alien bullshit, etc. As far as the Mighty debacle, it is a shape he didn't appear, but really, he controls the exact same way as Sonic, and we already have a red and black Sonic as is, so there would be no point. Mighty was simply a cameo from the first ever Sonic Arcade game, anyway, so I think they omitted him, not really being a character made solely for the Chaotix Team

The Shadow game I thought was okay...they could have done a whole lot worse but....to me it just tighed up some loose ends...and I just liked picking up a random gun and blowing the hell out of everything that moved..and didn't move hehe...as for Mighty, they could have done him like in the comics and I think its the same that he was more muscle than speed so he would have replaced Vector....and realy to me....he was anoying as hell in that game.

It tied up loose ends, then just unraveled so many more... I also found Shadow using a gun and motorcycle totally illogical as he outrun motorcycles and even bullets, plus can use the power of the Chaos Emeralds at will, so what's the point? But I guess it could be worse... and that game was "Sonic 2006". And I guess that is true, but again, he still looks a good deal like Sonic. I liked them keeping Vector, more unique characters and I dunno, I enjoyed him, plus, Vector was more well-liked the Mighty, as a whole.

Hmm...I guess...but I have seen a few fan made pics of what they wanted Mighty to look like in the game..he got a nice makeover with some new threds and a more hard look. Vector was a raping crock so I guess Mighty would be classed as a heavymetal armadilo

Yeah, I've seen 'em too, they're pretty good... but Vector wasn't into rap, nor did he rap at all. He was into rock and metal., but I can see heavy metal working for Mighty.

I guess your right....all well, chock Mighty up to all the characters that eather were seen once or never made it to the US.

I mean, granted, I wish character like Mighty and Ray would return to make up for characters like Silver and Blaze, ugh... I think they should revive some characters, maybe not as central, playable characters, but just to have more background and secondary characters to make it seem like there are more 'furries' in the world, besides the main cast. I mean, they seem to keep adding more and more humans to make Robotnik seem less out of place, but now Sonic and company seem out of place in their world, so I think they need to even it out. Have Mighty, Ray, even Nack(who I always liked) return!

You do raise a good point and it is ture they pop out way too meany characters too fast...its like every game they have someone new. Granted I like Silver, Blaze....meh, just so so for me [took my fursona's name and powers T_T] but there are just SO meany characters that were seen just once. Honey the cat, Bean the Dyamight, Brick the Polarbear, Nack the weasel/Fang the sniper, Ray the Squirrel, the Tails Doll [EVIL I TELL YOU!!!] Mecha Knuckles, ect. The list is just too damn big and more and more just keep poping out yet some stay such as Blaze, Jet, Rouge, Shade. Granted some of them are good as I like Rouge and Shade but...they have so meany they could work on still that hardly got any spotlight...Hehe, a friend of mine months back said that Sega should do a game like Smash Bros. sept with just Sega or Sonic characters, one with just the Sonic cast would be filled up big time.

Yeah, I definitely think that those characters should be revived as secondary characters, just to flesh out the world. A lot of them don't work too well as playable characters, but would work great as far as just making a larger world for the characters, hell, they did the same for Super Mario Bros., Big the Cat is another character, though I love him, would work better if they just kept him as a side character, ever so often using him in a plot, you get what I mean. It would be cool to see the Babylon Rogues keep appearing in games besides the Riders franchise, same with Nack. Have him say hired by Robotnik to find the Emeralds, or just as a hit man, would be interesting to see that happen, hehe

I agree compleatly with you there, some of those that were left behind would be sort of bla as full spotlight characters but haveing them as suport/backup to the main stars would be grat. Nack team up with the Babylon Rogues for a job, Honey hang around with Amy and Cream, Mighty help Knuckles and Shade bash heads, ect. Old Eggman has had a endless army on his side sens day one so now why can't Sonic have his own little army? :P

Exactly! Speaking of Eggman, I miss his creativity in the original games. I know they wanna play up his eerie ego and intense love for himself that all his robots resemble him, or an egg, but I miss the plethera of nifty looking robots from the original games.

So ture..but you have to admit they are funny looking and even more fun to watch XD The bots in the Sonic game for 360, while looking odd for something his style were pretty killer looking, was also the first time bullets were being shot at Sonic so that to me showed old Eggie was really steping up. In Sonic 4 ther going back to basics and bringing back all the oldies liek Buzzbomber and all the other wacky looking bots he made.

XD Something tells me that he is not likely gonna be gliding out of that.

No, but I think I might be in danger of him just hauling off and punching me~

You sound.. less then threatened! XP

Knuckles has, to quote Leo Camacho "big ass hands with spikes on his fists", coupled with his power being that of super strength... yes, I am, I've just accepted that IF I die by that, it'll be by his hands, so in an odd way, it's okay XD lol

you know why he's awesome?
because he's K T E thats why

although big the cat is way more badass :]

Big IS pretty awesome x3 I'll always remember the first time I saw Knuckles. Direct quote: "What the HELL is he!?" "...oh... he's an Echidna" "...What the HELL is an Echidna!?"

haha
Yeah I think that was my reaction too

i like both knuckles and big as people mentioned, but i do enjoy all the characters

As do I, Knuckles is just my favorite... I'd say Sonic is my second. Big is one of my favorites, just for his sheer silliness and lack of place in the series, hehe

so true, big gets no love these days, and yet i find him very cute, their used to be a big stuff version of him at toys'r'us for 15 dollars

Fuggan love Knuckles' expression. XD
