Why did you import Sonic of all characters? He's super common. Because nobody wants him.

[up] Ouch.

Do you think Sonic Boom had anything to do with that?

When I got my Link a few months back, Luigi was already on clearance. Poor guy.

I sure said that!

I'd say it's more to do with Sega's continual failure to make Sonic relevant coming to a head, but yeah more or less.

I didn't realize he was imported...I just noticed that he was three dollars cheaper than the next cheapest.

Which is weird. I always expected things from overseas to be more expensive, but I got all five of the amiibos I ordered with free shipping in the same box.

He probably plays just the same as an American Sonic would...but if I ever want to sell him with the rest of the ones I got then collectors may not want a Japanese box.

...even though I'm a collector. And mostly just collecting the amiibos. But keeping the boxes for reasons I'm not sure of. Maybe in case I ever plan to sell them as a set.

You're right, of course, but it still hurts.

OK I'll stop.

The saddest part there is that Sonic genuinely was on a roll for a bit there. Unleashed was half of a really good game, and Colors, Generations and Lost World were pretty good, too.

I want him.

Sonic is Sonic. He's famous. And part of Smash 4's Big Four. And I'll get Pacman too when I can even when I never play with him.

It's the principle of the having.

It doesn't help that the Smash community tends to hate Sonic for being incredibly agravating to fight.

In all fairness, I do have a Sonic. But I bought him in a moment of weakness thinking he was rare. Then a week later every place has him in piles.

I want a Sonic amiibo. Pretty much only so I can name it Hooba Dooba.

[up][up][up] Yeah, Sonic is one of those characters I just groan at whenever I have to fight him. He's right up there with Captain Falcon, although he's not as memetic as him and he isn't as common because he's not as powerful.

...which probably raises even more questions about his amiibo's commonness. Don't people want to create a super tough level 50 blue hedgehog monstrosity?

Would you want to fight an increasingly good Sonic until he got almost unbeatable?

That's going to require fighting Sonic quite a lot.

#74116: May 5th 2015 at 4:23:01 PM

I DO.

I technically want everybody, but I'm not yet willing to spend $100 on a Villager.

I'll either wait until they make more or the sense of incompletion overwhelms me.

[up][up] Well, maybe people just want to head to Training Mode to beat the living daylights out of Sonic. It's sort of the same case with Duck Hunt, who's almost as annoying to fight as him, even though the dog's Scrappy status peaked in the '80s.

Though Duck Hunt has much more interesting gimmicks than Sonic.

... The fact that I play Duck Hunt a lot has nothing to do with my defending the fighters.

I sure said that!

Duck Hunt's gimmick is missing Smashes because of bad programing

Though he shares that with Zelda.

Didn't they tweak that recently? Or did it not help any?

I might just be confused again...

Not anymore, though.

And hey, it's not like they had trouble landing indirect shots before the last few patches. Trick Shot and Clay Shooting are pretty awesome.

I sure said that!

I think Duck Hunt's up air is a better, more reliable kill move than any of their smashes. I take advantage of every opportunity there is to "hoo hah" my opponent when (s)he is at about 100% damage, which is probably even more powerful than Diddy's right now.

I know Zelda's F-Smash was tweaked so it wouldn't happen as often, but it still happens. Dunno if it actually changed with Duck Hunt.

[up] It feels like it. Their smash attacks are still a bit on the weak side, but at least they're easier to hit with now.

Do people have a hard time finding Mega Man amiibo?

I have a hard time seeing Mega Man anywhere else...except, strangely, my town's Wal Mart. There are actually more Mega Men than Sonic there. (I keep debating whether or not I should actually get one of them even though I can't use their functionality.)
