okay, why the F*CO does Sega keep pulling Vector away from Team Chaotix? first he was on Team Rose in Free Riders now this? they could have easy put Marine instead and make it like “Team Sol” Or something like that.
it’s a small nitpick but if we don’t see Espio and Charmy here because of that I’m gonna be really annoyed.
Maybe team chaotix will be Espio, Charmy and MIGHTY!
The small character limit means there isn’t room for all three Chaotix along with Silver, Blaze and whatever the Eggman team is, why Vector over Espio I guess because he’s a big power character.
Why do they keep pulling Vector away from the Chaotix and how we don’t see Espio and Charmy that much? Simple. Memes. Why do he and Big keep getting shoehorned into sonic games? Because memes. They don’t like him for who he is, they only like him because of someone else’s interpretation. They just want to hear them say “Find dah computor room” and “Durrr froggy” and nothing else. And that is just a waste of a character when the keep using him only for meme fodder.
I am absolutely happy to be living in a timeline where in a team of Vector, Silver and Blaze, it’s VECTOR who gets top billing.
I think Charmy’s too young to drive a car. Same goes for Cream the Rabbit. Anyways, that leaves one team, and I think I know what it is. Because Sonic always faces them: Team Eggman.
Yeah. Maybe when Charmy and Cream grow up to be big, mature people like the Chao drivers featured in this game, they’ll get their chance. 🙂
Right now, I’m ticked off because, once again, Espio is excluded for no reason. This is why you don’t limit yourself to 15 characters in a kart racer, especially when you consider Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has a mammoth-sized cast.
Even base MK8 has a big cast even if it has a bunch of crap ones like the babies nobody wants, this game could do something fun like MK does by having badniks like Motobug be playable instead of meh egg pawns but that means getting outside of the bland Heroes+Colors mindset that plagues these spinoffs. I’m guessing MK8D will beat this game into the ground when it comes to the switch port especially if it’s locked at 30fps instead of 60.
Come on guys! Everyone asked for Blaze and Silver for the longest time but when they finally gave you that plus the fan favorite Chaotix member Vector y’all are still not satisfied when literally no one likes Charmy anyway. The Sonic fanbase always find new reasons to complain…. *sigh*
Most people (including myself) are happy about the decision. They just feel weird about the whole chaotix gang not being there. How about you stop geralizing the fanbase? You are not being much better…
I’m glad Silver and Blaze are in it. Don’t get me wrong. It’s just that the fanbase is very, very, very split. So Vector’s in it without Espio and Charmy, Team Rose doesn’t have Cream, please guys, just enjoy the game without whining about the roster.
I’ve wanted to play as Espio for a long time. They have one of the most agile characters in the series, and they make him the referee in the Olympics(until the latest, and even then he couldn’t be used everywhere), and exclude him from nearly every other spin-off aside from mobile games. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad Blaze finally made it here, but it shows why you need to have a bigger cast. I can’t understand why this is even a factor considering ASRT had over double the amount of playable characters.
While I’ll probably still have fun with this game, I still can’t help but feel like it’s a step backwards from the previous racer with everything I’ve seen so far.
I don’t understand the roster choices at all. Leaving out Cream, Charmy, and Espio makes no sense to me.
Cream and Charmy are too young to drive a car.
But Tails and Amy are old enough now?
