Additionally, Knuckles' connection to the Master Emerald is rather limited; he can sense emeralds and Master Emerald pieces, but that's about it, he hasn't demonstrated use of any Chaos Powers, at least not in the games, anyway. Although he can shut down the power of the Chaos Emeralds, it does require reciting a prayer, which I doubt Shadow would just allow Knuckles to do. In the movie he does fly(it's not canon, but he does there) and he himself calls this gliding flying in the games so however you wanna call it, he can't do that in X. As far as I know this gliding is Chaos Control too and Shadow can't do that. He can do different things like teleporting.

And Knuckles is stated to be a living Chaos Emerald, so he possibly could do a lot with the powers, he just never does sh*t because since SA2 the games didn't focus on him anymore. In the comics, he is very powerful, but as I said, the games don't treat him that good. (Looking at Sanik Bum.)

Shadow on the other hand is a fan favorite and as long as SEGA can squeeze fanservice out of him, they'll do it. No, it's referred to as gliding in the games, and while I haven't seen Sonic X in its entirety, I'm fairly certain he glided at least once in the series. Additionally, Knuckles' ability to glide does not stem from the Master Emerald, it is simply Knuckles catching wind underneath his body.

What? Knuckles isn't a "living Chaos Emerald," that's never been stated in the games. He may be like that in the comics, but that's because one of the writers was a little obsessed with Knuckles and his race.

Also, please do not swear uncensored. I didn't say it wasn't gliding, it's just that I'm sure that in SA he referres to it as flying even though he could have said glide without a difference. Don't know what the tutorials say and didn't play every game in existence, so it might be called gliding in other games. I'm btw pretty sure he didn't glide in Sonic X, he even says at one point that "he's a fan of gravity" or something like that.

Cream uses her ears, Rouge uses her wings and Tails uses his tails. But Knuckles doesn't have anything like that. So how do you explain "catching wind" if there's nothing that could?

And I'm actually glad, that some writer made a story with Knuckles and his race, proving that he can be a good character and interesting stories with him are possible. (Unlike some certain games nowadays: "Haha, he's stupid! Get the joke?" Geez, when do they get that plain stupidity isn't funny and never was? -.-)

Also, why are you trying to explain me why Knuckles isn't powerful in the games, even though I clearly stated that I agree with that and that I was referring to the Archie Comics?
