Well, she's at least so far a better character than Big The Cat or any other asshole they've put into Sonic games for the last 15 years, so that's something I guess

Knuckles is still the best character of them all though (including Sonic)

You take that back!

And we still can't get them to finally just include Sally in the Sega-verse of Sonic games or the cyborg Rabbit, or the Purple Walrus.

The scariest game you can ever play: Google your name followed by "The Hedgehog". Post your results.

Well, that was certainly unexpected.

This looks like a fantastic character and as always adding a new character to the Sonic roster is an amazing idea that can in no way backfire.

Despite the video above, I still have complete faith this will be better than all the other Sonics titles over the past decade combined. Take from that what you will.

Oh Knuckles, what have they done to you! (and why is Sonic in a scarf??!, and why did everyone's legs get long!)
