Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a fighting game for the Nintendo Wii delayed until March 9, 2008. Sonic the Hedgehog will appear in the game as a playable character.
Sonic's Special Moves
Standard special: Homing Attack- confirmed by IGN, he curls up in midair and attacks his closest opponent.
Side special move: Spin Dash- Sonic's trademark spin attack. Dash from side to side with spins. You can also rise up while spinning (presumably by mashing the button).
Down special move: Spin Charge- Actually, this is, by definition, the spin dash we all know and love. You just charge 'er up and let 'er go.
Up special move: Spring Jump- A spring comes out of nowhere and shoots you way into the sky. If used on the ground, other characters can use the spring that's left on the ground.
Final Smash: Super Sonic-When Sonic breaks a Smash Ball, he uses the Chaos Emeralds to turn into Super Sonic. He can fly anyway and damages his opponents by ramming into them.
Story
Each character in the game has their own story in the game's story mode, Subspace Emissary, the main universe of Brawl where trophies are either pit to figh each other or destroyed if they destroy their "true nature". In the "Sonic Joins The Brawl" trailer, Sonic can be seen fighting the Subspace Army with Mario though his role and how they meet is unknown. He is also seen at the very end fighting the last boss.
Inclusion
Since the release of Smash Bros., fans of fights or unisons between Sonic and Mario have requested that Sonic be in Smash games. However, it seemed highly unlikely due to he fact that SEGA (Sonic's home company) rivaled Nintendo (Mario's). When Brawl was announced, Konami's Snake of Metal Gear fame was on the roster of playable characters as the first 3rd-party game character to be included in the Smash Bros. series.
The demand for Sonic increased greatly, and was added after the making of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. Ranking over new favorites in gaming Master Chief (of Microsoft and Bungie's Halo series) and Naruto (of the Shonen Jump production with the same name), as well as previous icons MegaMan (by Capcom) and Pac-Man (by Namco), Sonic was the most asked for character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Reception
Though Sonic fans were pleased to see him make it to Brawl, they were shot down on the account of Jason Griffith (Sonic in 4Kids' dub of Sonic X) voicing Sonic for the game. Desperately wishing for Ryan Drummond (Sonic in Sonic Adventure) to play Sonic for Brawl, they call Nintendo to ask for Sonic's voice change. Sadly, Jason Griffith is still voice acting Sonic.
