If you have never played the older Sonic games, I could probably understand why you feel this way.
Wow, what a direct "Super Saiyan" rip! God, I hate Sonic and whoever created it. :\ Gah, it's just so ... ridiculous, the level the idea was stolen. Even the style, pose & anatomy is all similar to Toriyama's work. Pff.
However, I'd still play this game because it may bring back a certain nostalgic feeling from playing the previous game- I did enjoy that one. I don't recall it having Sonic in it either.
Chances are Super Sonic is a homage to DBZ. But if I recall, didn't you say Toriyama's work inspired many others? From the sound of it, you have limited knowledge of Sonic the Hedgehog and base this post on the image of Super Sonic.
I don't get what you mean my this at all. Standing with your fist out is a generic "powah up" and "I'm pissed off". There is no trademark style to the pose (sans the screaming).
Most people think that because it is. Super Sonic was always an homage to dragon ball z. It's the whole point behind Super Sonic in the first place. You do this whole ordeal that takes skill and experience to pull off and in the end you are able to transform and kick serious ass.
Yeah I don't disagree that Super Saiyans had an effect on Super Sonic, but adding on to what you said, you only get to play as Super Sonic until the end of the game and in the older ones, once you got the 7 chaos emeralds. This contrasts DBZ where they transform constantly and effortlessly.
Only with a bunny hood sadly =(. He is still faster than Captain Falcon, so I am happy. Really wish he had a meteor smash/spike though.
Sonic has plenty of finishers but they aren't his typical smashes so most people over look them.
C'mon bud, you know passion for something, and anger, can sometimes guide one's actions. Let's not get too involved in this. Ignore me next time? :O
I'm not angryI would consider a certain style and concept used as a whole similar to Dragonball homage, a masterful story, and something done with a broad mind, perhaps 10-12 years later, which offers a similar feel & energy--not one concept pulled directly from one of Dragonball's aspects identically, and used as a "power-up" in a videogame. The games of Sonic, as I recall, were enjoyable- I never enjoyed the characters. And to answer your suggesting I'm an ignorant, biased fan....no, I do not remember the Sonic series very well. I did say many things we grew up on during the '90s in America may've in some way been inspired by some of Toriyama's work, sure, but I'm not so sure that's relevant to my actual point. I have seen clips from the cartoon of Sonic when he transforms; the vibes, atmospheres, bystanders' reactions, and transformation effects all felt rather very similar to how Goku became a Super Saiyan. Super Sonic's image in-game, in-show & in fan-art is all relatively similar; it resembles a Super Saiyan from Dragonball. I never disputed the games weren't fun--didn't even tap at that, I never disputed the ideas sucked, I never even intended to provoke argument.
Someone's always gotta jump at the opportunity to prove someone else wrong, right? Hell, you're pretty passionate about Sonic, so I'll leave it alone. Forgive me though, I am an ignorant bastard, for not knowing the difference between a "stolen idea", and "paying homage", and how the film/animation industry differs from the game industry. Really, it must all be so blurry to me.
. I also wasn't implying that you were an "ignorant bastard". From the way you typed, it sounded like you didn't play too many Sonic games (you called him an "it", so I thought you played like 2 games). So then I thought "Okay, he doesn't know that much about Sonic, but knows a lot about DBZ. Understandable, so let me clear up some things,"I never brought up whether the games were fun or if the ideas were bad either. The only thing I was trying to prove was that Super Sonic is not a dastardly robbery of the Super Saiyan. The tone of my post was intended as a "umm...No?" post, not a "OMG YOU KNOW NOTHING OF SONIC" post.
That is why I can't wait to play as him =D. His Up-B is perfect for following combos and pursuit attacks. I don't need a powerhouse, but I just love meteor smashes. I need to get a Wii so I can play yallHibiki said:

Depends on what you consider 'teh suck'.
this is all you need to see to understand how bad-ass sonic is. watch it.
He has more moves that weren't used, moves that could be taken from Sonic Adventure and Advance, as well as Battle.
I haven't played it yet, but I am guessing that Link will be my favorite character again, considering that he was my favorite in the last two games. He couldn't have changed that much performance wise.
