Metal Sonic is probably one of the LEAST interesting characters in gaming. He's fun as a returning boss, because returning bosses are always fun, but he has nothing going for him in the character department and I do not understand why he has fans. There is even a better "evil sonic" in his own franchise - Shadow. And no, I'm not claiming Shadow is a great character either, but at least he talks

Does it really matter? The contest has had a Tetris block in before so its hard for anything to have less character than that

I'm no Metal Sonic fan, but Link doesn't talk and he's the most popular character here, so...

It's kind of fallacious to say that a character has to speak to have "depth" in any case. Not that Metal Sonic particularly does, mind you.

Oh that reminds me. I don't think Link should be allowed in as just "Link" either. It should be specified which Link since he's a different character in almost every game.

I'm not saying that either. I should have left that part out. I was just trying to quickly say that Shadow does more in the series

I'm not sure about this "even Dark Pit" bit. He's a decent enough character. Not the deepest of all time, but nowhere near to the most shallow, either.

Metal Sonic won't even be allowed, that's the real reason it's a waste of nominations

Character depth is nice but it's never been the only metric that the public evaluates characters in games on.

I'd probably argue that focusing solely on characterization through story is to misunderstand the medium. I mean, they're video game characters; the way they actually function within gameplay probably shouldn't be irrelevant to judging the character's worth!

Why wouldn't Metal Sonic be allowed

Do you think Metal Sonic is just metal Sonic or something

Yeah, Metal Sonic isn't the same thing as Dark Link or Dark Samus. He's not just an evil clone or something.

Saying "even Dark Pit" is weird because Dark Pit is like, his own character and stuff

I didnt mean to throw shade at Dark Pit. I actually like Dark Pit and his characterization in Uprising. I used him as an example because, as far as Smash Bros is concerned, most people treat him as bottom of the barrel.

Getting Dark Pit, Corrin, AND Bayonetta into this thing would piss off a lot of people on the Smash board who really deserve it.

I would be all about supporting Dark Pit and Corrin if it meant getting that cesspool of a board riled up

they are honestly the worst and I think I hate them so much because they remind me of when I was 13 and posting on this site. too uncanny. i wish someone had nominated Corrin back in my day to teach me a lesson.
