Because she's not a boy.

And if they didn't do it now, it would've just been assumed that Trip was male anyway.

I feel like Trip wouldn't have been gendered if she was just a minor character without a face.

I called it but I figured they were going to wait until the helmet came off to reveal her gender. Not quite sure why they gave it away in advance, it's not like the game has any dialogue.

Looks like I called it months ago.

Prime being part of a concerted effort by Sega at Character Rerailment for Shadow (back from the colors era) towards his well received 06 depiction.

In this case, its closer to an amalgam of 06 and Battle. Aggressive, short tempered but perceptive and likely the first to figure out the big picture.

Also trending towards bringing back the 06 Type 2.5 Anti-Hero.

I'll wait until I can confirm if that was their intent.

The community has left me sincerely apathetic to whatever Shadow is in-character or not.

I'm kinda disappointed we won't see a Rouge or Big's world.

[up][up] Shadow being more unambiguously benevolent (motive wise) is in line with 06 depictions.

I’ll have to find it, but a recent interview with Evan Stanley (IDW writer) said something about Sega Mandates (one of the key reasons for Shadow’s Character Derailment in adaptations) are loosening up, and he intends on writing Shadow in a similar more benevolent direction.

Plus we have the Sonic VN going in a Jerk with a Heart of Gold or Hidden Heart of Gold direction (implication being Amy can be added to the list of people Shadow really trusts).

I’m really optimistic about this. Seems like Sega is listening to the fans about Shadow’s characterization and how 06 is the way to go.

By the way, has anyone figured out how to spindash? I was watching someone play Frontiers live and not even anyone in the comments knows how to do it.

Ugh, seriously? S Rank every single Action Chain Challenge just for 1 single move? If they were gonna have the Spindash be unlockable I'd rather it be through finding all of the New Kokos. That's much less of a hassle than trying to S Rank these things. This better be worth it.

I still feel that Shadow is at least partly responsible for the shattering incident in Prime by choosing to attack Sonic instead of just explaining what was going on.

About the Sonic Frontiers datamine leak, no one with the tools to do it have posted any story spoilers that are supposedly in there, right now just some unfinished animations have been posted. Tails has a gun/cannon he attacks with, Amy attacks with her tarot cards in addition to her hammer, and Knuckles has a special attack where uses his body like a drill. Also, Knuckle's idle animation has him doing the Japanese delinquent squat.

Sounds like a lot of experimenting.

If I remember correctly, he had it in SA2 as the third part of his attack combo when running at top speed.

I'd take a blaster for Tails, as in Sonic Battle, over the goddamn dummy rings. Useless-ass clutter.

@KuroBaraHime So, among everything else, you are saying that my idea of Amy throwing tarot cards like she was Gambit or Hisoka was right, just that I was pointing to the wrong game, huh [lol].
