With Tails, it should be noted that him exclusively using the Mech Walker in SA 2 itself was really bizarre.
Leviticus 19:34I definitely have heard a bunch of Sonic fans on You Tube pretty much state that Tails being confined to a mech makes no sense. (Though it's because Tails, Shadow, and Rouge were shoehorned in at the last minute)
Count me as one of them.
AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!Hell, in Sonic Adventure 1, Tails' levels were Sonic's, but with more diverse platforming challenges.
Alright, I'm slowly going back through and working on that complete moveset.

Reflectors could break in the first 2 games
, and in the later games, reflections fail, instead.
I mean, he was the first character designed in the series to still exist (after him was Sonic, and then Vectornote ).

The sad, REAL American dichotomyThey only said sharing a move, not that sharing a move makes them the same.
How about Amy with her hammer? Kirby, King Dedede and Ice Climbers already have hammers, but at least its not a sword.
Another idea. Sonic's werehog form. Given characters with different forms now have separate slots, what if they did something like this for third party?

Not to mention the other Stylish Action characters that could get in.
tails has used the homing attack in so little games that it would probably not be in the moveset.

What? In every fighting game so far, they've shared a couple moves. And of course Tails also has the Homing Attack.

The sad, REAL American dichotomy
What game does he have the Homing Attack in?
I'm thinking making Tails a combination of SA 1, Advance, and Battle.
AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!He used the homing attack in Sonic Advance 3, Shadow the Hedgehog, and I believe in Sonic 4. The problem is more that he hasn't had many playable appearances since then. Few of the cast have. In fact, since 2007 (when the Sonic Rush and Sonic Rivals series ended), the only mainline Sonic games to feature someone other than Sonic as playable are:
- Sonic 4
- Episode 1: Metal Sonic (4 levels only)
- Episode 2: Tails
- Sonic Mania: Tails and Knuckles (full game), Mighty and Ray (full game, as DLC)
- Sonic Forces: Player Avatar, and Shadow (as DLC: 3 level special episode, and patched in to work in some Modern Sonic levels)
In the spinoff Sonic Boom continuity, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks are all playable. the Endless Runner games Sonic Dash and Sonic Runners had others playable.
I did just that, with links to the wiki pages for moves that come from specific games, in my full Tails moveset
. Give it a look and let me know your thoughts!
- I'm actually proud that I didn't make Propeller Flight his Up+B, but instead made it his Up+Air. That makes it function identically to how it does in the Sonic games, and frees up a special move space.
- I was only able to work in one Bomb, the Dummy Ring as a projectile Forward Aerial (while flying, he actually doesn't have a direct attack that covers in front of him, outside of projectiles or the Spin Attack itself.
- If were to replace his Forward+Air and Back+Air with Spin Jump
, I could replace Homing Attack with Energy Ball for his Neutral+B. Then Side+B is free to serve as both Dummy Ring Bomb
(smash input, faster, explodes on contact with anything), and Chu^2 Bomb
(a slower grounded homing bomb that explodes on contact with enemies).
I might likely make those changes... Thoughts for tomorrow.

The sad, REAL American dichotomyTails can homing attack in Sonic Heroes (when Sonic does it), in Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic Rivals 2.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.All the characters have it...
It's perfectly fine that he has it of all the non-hedgehog characters.

Is that the case with any of the space animals in any other game, or anyone else with a reflector?
