"All living things kneel before your master!"
-Metal Sonic

Who is Metal Sonic?

Before Shadow, Metal Sonic was the antithesis of Sonic the Hedgehog, a cold-hearted (literally), ruthless killer programmed by Doctor Eggman to end his doppelganger's life.

He's dope af

Why should I nominate Metal Sonic?

He's dope af

Metal Sonic is a universally loved part of the Sonic franchise. All the hate that Shadow gets for being just an "ow the edge" version of Sonic isn't present for Metal. He's got a badass design and is easily recognizable. Even if you have never heard of Metal Sonic, you can figure out his deal in two seconds.

Not only that, but unlike other attempts at getting "Noble Nine Clones" into the contest, like Dark Link, Metal Sonic has a storied history and has an actual character. He's way more Mega Man X or Zach Fair, for sure. Allen would be way more receptive to giving him a bracket spot.

Plus, he's recently seen a resurgence in popularity as a big boss battle in Sonic Mania. Please scroll up and listen to that dope theme if you haven't already.

Metal Sonic could theoretically have a decently high ceiling, maybe around the unpredictable strength of Knuckles. He'd always have a good pic factor especially if he gets to the sprite round.

I just want to emphasize how cool Metal Sonic is, if he pulls a good spot against some midcards then he has a solid chance to get out of round 1, maybe round 2 even. If this is 3-ways who knows what shenanigans he could pull?

Do you have any rad pics of Metal Sonic?

oh hell yeah: https://imgur.com/a/etW4MRd

Also note that he has a ton of great official art for use in match pics: http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Metal_Sonic/Gallery

tl;dr

Metal Sonic would be a solid midcarder that would be hard to predict, and is probably the most solid bet in terms of new Sonic characters. He's totally worth a shot, at least once, just to see.

Also watch Sonic Mania Adventures:

that Big Arms remix during Sonic Mania Adventures got me so hype
---

I'll nom him.

Sure
---

Thanks for the support!! I might end up doing some kind of raffle/giveaway or something to get people in here, but I have no way to verify people actually nominating Metal

We'll have to see if he even has a chance, maybe Bacon will just do 64 characters like a madman. who knows.

I never knew that I needed Photoshop memes in my life until this day.

The Sonic Heroes villain?
---

Neo Metal was the last boss of heroes, yes, but he was pretty lame in that tbqh. He's much cooler in CD, Mania and 2 Battle's versus mode.

who will be crowned the true metal overlord

The crown weighs heavy, and Metal Sonic can't handle the weight of a hedgehog on its head.

Bring forth a better opponent than this trash heap.

(also I'll nominate why not)
---

Mecha Sonic would do better than Metal Sonic!

If people cared about that they are two different robots.

here is my banner but inlined this time

sakurai put Metal Sonic in smash plz
---

allen put Metal Sonic in the contest plz
---

With a tagline like "Better Than Dark Link", how can I *not* support him?
---

---

sometimes i lay awake at night wondering what it would be like to polish metal sonic's shiny head
---

metal

sonic
---

I don't like Sonic much, but you can count me in.
---

Thank you Ash!! I got your back too, buddy. Let me know what you wanna nom. We have too much history for me not to help you out.
---

If I decide to rally someone, I'll let you know. Probably just be someone my kids want to see get in at this point. The twins choice will probably just be Elsa though, and she's not eligible.
---

see if they like Sub-Zero, he does ice too
---

I'm curious if metal sonic made it in how strong do you think he'd be?

Surly not sonic strength or knuckles. Maybe tails? Shadow?
---

I'm hoping it would go Sonic > Knuckles > Metal > Shadow > Tails

who knows tho, metal and shadow would probably be equal. i don't think being a smash echo would help Shadow THAT much but it would definitely help
---

oh wow I thought you just wanted Metal Sonic in for fun

I didn't think you actually believed he could beat a Sonic character who's been in a contest before
---

Seifer had his time, now it is the Metal Age

I showed them this video:

And they still said no. (Well, they actually said "That's not Elsa" then stopped paying attention)

I would honestly be skeptical
---

only one way to find out! nominate Metal!
---

You know, I confused Metal Sonic with Mecha Sonic. Metal Sonic makes way more sense.
---

Silver Sonic is the best robo-Sonic though
