They don't actually bully him, though. They do what he says and mostly play off each other in Colors, occasionally making observations, and mostly just talking about Cubot's voice box.

There's one scene in Colors where Cubot calls the Doctor out on him ever have beaten Sonic...

It is inaccurate to otherwise say that all they do is belittle Eggman, that's not their role.

—-

It seemed like Orbot was meant to dislike Eggman and be the lazy one who didn't care, but that didn't really stick.

That then shifted into occasional snark, but otherwise completely loyal.

@KnownUnknown Well, there're Bang, BaBang and BaBaBang in Sonic X that can combine into two different modes: Egg Fort 2 and E-99 Egg Emperor.

you know if they ever make another sonic heroes what other teams can you think they could make? I would like one with mighty, Ray and Honey, they fit nicely on the fly, strength and speed dynamic and would be nice to see again in something that's just a fangame bought by sega.

Bean, Bark, and Nack could fit as well.

Though they'd have to give Bean the ability to fly if he can't already.

The existence of the Hooligans is exactly why I suggested them.

Honey is an interesting choice to pair with Mighty and Ray. I'd been trying to fit Blaze (another cat) in there.

Honey works much better though.

Based on the characters just mentioned, maybe they could do a Classic era team game, whether it's inspired by Heroes, Chaotix, or something else. It's crazy to think just how many characters the Classic era has now.

Master System/Genesis/Game Gear

  • Sonic
  • Eggman
  • Tails
  • Mecha Sonic (16 bit)
  • Mecha/Silver Sonic (8 bit)
  • Knuckles
  • Egg Robo
  • Mecha Mk. II
  • Fang

32X and CD

  • Amy
  • Metal Sonic
  • Vector
  • Espio
  • Charmy
  • Heavy
  • Bomb

Arcade and Saturn

  • Mighty
  • Ray
  • Bark
  • Bean
  • Honey
  • Metal Knuckles
  • Tails Doll

Retcon

  • Heavy King
  • Heavy Gunner
  • Heavy Shinobi
  • Heavy Magician
  • Heavy Rider

And that's not even including Wendy Witchcart's gang, or the Flickies and other animals...

[up][up]Hmm.

Make Marine speed, have Silver use his Telekinesis to simulate strength and Blaze uses her fire powers for flight.

Obviously, there's other ways to set it up (Blaze could easily be speed since she's set up as a counterpart to Sonic in her own games, and Silver could logically be flight due to that same telekinetic power) but with Marine being such a complete unknown, Speed is the role I feel works best for her.

Blaze not being Speed is unacceptable, and Silver is a Flight character in the Riders games. It looks like Marine is learning how to fight. Better get training, Marine.

I can see Blaze being Power; she was explicity slower than Sonic in Rush, has been Power in some games, has a far better excuse for a hover than Big or Vector... tongue

This is kind of the inherent issue of trying to shoehorn thr cast into the Sonic Heroes format. Because some were clearly not designed for it.

Blaze, Silver or Marine don't really fit into any of the three categories to make a proper team.

And some characters change categories altogether; Rouge was Knuckles' rival, but her strength has been Downplayed since she's the designated flyer for her team, with the power role going to Omega.

How does Blaze not cleanly fit into Speed? She was literally an exact counterpart to Sonic on her introduction. She fits better than Amy, who if anything works better as a Power character.

Marine isn't anything because she's never been playable and doesn't have an established skillset. Which in reverse, means that she can be anything you want to her to be should you be in the position to make a game with her playable in it.

The cutscene that displayed Marine's power had her stagger the Egg Wizard, which required the combined effort of Super Sonic and Burning Blaze to damage, with a single bolt. I think that alone would peg Marine as a Power Type if she became playable and this ability of hers gets explored. And if said power is revealed to be Hydrokinesis, well, that still fits a great deal for Power Types; Maligula and Lapis Lazuli both demonstrate the raw destructive power hydrokinesis can possess.

That cutscene also didn't clearly show what her power is. We only guess it's hydrokinesis. Why are people so ready to shoehorn characters into one of the three Heroes types?
