Well, if people are still doubting whether or not our lovable speedy hedgehog will be included in Nintendo's upcoming brawler, then doubt no more. If anything, knowing the ragtag roster of characters they already have for the game, Sonic fits right in with the rest of the Brawl crew. Anyway, we have more good news as we unveil some of the Sonic's special moves in Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii.

Anybody who's played the original Sonic the Hedgehog game on the Sega Genesis will remember that everything works all with just one button. So it's no surprise that Sonic's special moves are kept pretty simple as well.

As a Side Special Move, just press the button repeatedly to rev yourself up, then release to throw a speedy blue ball of death at your opponent. What's more, you can even do this consecutively while you're in midair. We'd like to see Mario try and dodge this.

Also, you might remember the handy spring jump device littering the world of the original Sonic game. Well, our friendly hedgehog can actually drop one of these on the ground and use it to put a little boost in his jump. Watch out, though - there's nothing stopping the other characters from using your spring either.

All in all, Sonic is everything that he ever was brought to life onto the next gen console. We're wondering, however, what his Final Smash move will be (Knuckles, anyone?). Until we get more updates from Smash Bros. DOJO, keep yourselves posted for more updates as we get them.

» Final Smash

His final smash is probably gonna involve himself going super sonic (Getting all 7 chaos emeralds, and going from blue to gold sonic)



maybe knux might be another character hopefully

» Knuckles?

Are you lot blind or something?



Watch the video about him on the site. Right at the end, he has the seven emeralds around him, and turns into super sonic. If that doesn't scream Final Smash at you, you must be completely oblivious to anything. You're about as stupid as the guys still saying he wont be in Brawl.



If you havent watched the video, OK you wouldn't know, but really, it's stupid to think it could ever have been anything else.

» Yes, Knuckles

Hey, fair's fair. The video on the official site just showed part of his Final Smash move with the Chaos Emeralds. It doesn't mean Knuckles or any of Sonic's other friends (or enemies) aren't included in the attack. Besides, Knuckles is my fave Sonic character. You can't blame a guy for hoping.

» a lot of coverage for this one game

Must not be any other decent Wii games coming out in the near future, or ever.



The Wii will be dead by 2010, completely. Oh yes.
