I thought Peach already wasn't on a release day.

Sonic. Awesome. And so soon after Toon Link and Peach. They're really rolling out the reveals aren't they.

She was revealed on the anniversary of Super Mario Bros. 1 in Japan, but yeah, technically her reveal had nothing to do with any new games, I believe.

I don't think Luigi was on a release date either. It was close to Dream Team's release, but not exact like Olimar and Toon Link's.

Nope, they were both on release dates.

Peach was revealed on the release of Super Mario Bros. 1 on the VC. Luigi was revealed on the release of Super Mario Bros. 2 Lost Levels on the VC.

Sonic is the only one that can't be attributed to a release date of a game in their series. So far.

Still, his appearance links to an upcoming game the series has. When I brought this up, I did say that we might see a Zelda character once we know more about the upcoming Zelda game which isn't the Link Between Worlds.

Nope, Sonic's page is advertising Lost World.

I'm fine with the roster now. I don't care who else gets in.

I'm pretty sure Luigi was revealed for the physical release of New Super Luigi U, wasn't he?

[up][up]He was revealed in a Nintendo Direct on August 7, and the physical release was the 13th. So it's pretty close, but not quite.

As I said, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels got a VC release. That was August 7th.

I'm going to say that's a coincidence. Especially since it has nothing to do with Luigi beyond the incidental.

I don't think revealing on the release date is so much what they're doing as just releasing on or around the release date.

Sonic is another one that came off looking great from the minor Art Evolution.

It looks like most of his moves are the same, though his dodge animation is different (I think) and it seems a bit easier to combo/chain some of his moves together.

I've never really paid attention to the theme of Sonic Heroes, is that the actual song or is it a rearrangement. I'm kind of hoping they avert the "most of Sonic's songs are brought in from other games" bit and give us more rearrangements and covers, especially now that he's actually in mid-development rather than last minute.

His dodge looks the same to me. I think it might be the differences in this game's engine that allowed him to pull that off.

At this rate, they just seem to be revealing characters whenever. This is second reveal we've had in two weeks.

The real question is, will "You're too slow" make a return?

Eh, this is the first model revamp I'm pretty disappointed with, actually. His grin looks like it's just pasted on his mouth now (oddly contrasting with his portrait where there's way too much emphasis put into it), and they don't seem to have changed the Spin Dash at all, which was the one thing that I did wish they would renovate.

Still, I openly welcome Sonic being made into a more combo-oriented character, and at the very least this hopefully puts all those silly "what business does Sonic have getting back in?" arguments to rest. This also seems to be a stealth confirmation of multiple taunts as well, so hooray.

[up][up][up][up][up]It's the original. Just heavily edited, somewhat like his Brawl trailer.

[up][up]Well, one of the screenshots is of his old taunt (and he even looks more smug this time!), but he has his newest voice actor in this game, so maybe it won't be as annoying.

Sonic is still the only one that wasn't shown on a release date of a game in their series.

All I can gather is that he likes to announce them during an exact release date, or when an announcement for a major game in the series exist. Both work pretty well. And it would explain Peach's exact reveal, since she had no game besides the VC one to look at for that date.

Of course, that's just what it currently is. He could show off characters entirely regardless of a related game that is either announced or released. But so far, that's exactly what's happened so far.

I'm liking what Sonic looks like so far. I'm not surprised he's still got his Brawl moveset at the moment, but I'm sure he'll be reworked before the release of SSB For.

Yep. Makes sense. I'm kind of hoping the Zeti provide the stage hazards for it.

All I ask I'd that he gets the Bounce Smash and/or Sonic Storm this time.

I have a message from another time...

I have a feeling the Bounce Attack itself could become seriously broken, but the lack of Sonic Wave/Storm was appalling. His Spin Dash and Spin Charge were too similar. -_-

He did appear to be added last minute, so him having two near identical moves isn't that odd. Not enough time to make him better, I guess?
