Preferred Game Cast; Who do you like to see?

I'll be there every step of the way...
Let's think mostly along the lines of recurring characters, here. That excludes characters like Chip or Yacker.

So... We all know the Sonic cast.
Obviously, to make an effective easy-to-follow story, it's hard to pour all of those characters in at the same time.
Sonic Heroes got close (but if you notice, its story was simple)... But now we have even more characters, so to pull of something like that again would be a stretch.
So, I beg the question, what's your dream team?
Who would you like to see receive more character analysis?
Is it time the Dark guys (Shadow, Rouge, Omega, Eggman) got some more backstory focus?
Do you even remember what Angel Island is, though? What about 'ol Knux?
Do you support the addition of new characters?
Do you think, maybe, the Babylon Rogues deserve a part in a main entry?
Should Silver/Blaze's confusing and conflicting stories be solidified, or should Sega just get a move on and let you wonder?
Was Unleashed okay with only Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Eggman?
What about Colors, man...? That was even minus Amy!

DISCUSS CAST ARRANGEMENTS.

I still can't use this.

The cast needs to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. The franchise is pretty open to a range of atmospheric and locational tones, which means different characters are more suitable for certain narratives than others. I would be much happier with a round-robin style cast where different characters are used appropriately for specific games, (but only a few characters at a time). It's also one of the few things that was interesting about Black Knight. Knuckles, Shadow, and Blaze as a team? Really, Sega? That's cool.

Also, Tails also needs to be stripped of his mandatory status. Sega's gotten rid of the original antagonist well before they've ever gotten rid of Tails, and this insistence to have him show his face even when it's unnecessary inevitably amounts to painful shoehorning. This needs to stop. Sonic can fly the Tornado- it was his plane originally. If the story doesn't call for Tails to really be there, don't put him in.

I think that sums up what I think perfectly.

We all make choices. But in the end, our choices make us
I have to be honest and say sometimes its a bit boring when we only have a couple of characters in a game.

When it comes to Sega going into a character's back story a bit more, I would honestly love to see a game that is based a bit more on Knuckles. Of course it couldn't be just all about Knuckles. Sega would most likely not wanna do that. But maybe just an adventure where we find out more about Knuckles himself and how exactly he became the guardian of the Master Emerald.

Now, Sonic Adventure did let us see what life was like back in the Ancient times of one of the echidna tribes but we don't really know anything about Knuckle's past. I think that would be pretty cool if we did.

Personally as much as I would like to see the Babylon Rogues outside of the Riders series I highly doubt this will ever come to be. Kind of a shame, but nothing I can do about that. *shrug*

That said I wouldn't mind learning a bit more about the whole Babylon thing. Alien ancestors sounds like a neat concept (although I guess Shadow already did that in a way).

I don't know if I really have an ideal cast in mind. So long as they all fit into the story somehow it's fine with me.

I object to your claims
Whatever suits the story line.

If it calls for a small cast, use for a small cast. If it calls for a large cast, use a large cast. Put whichever characters would best fit with the type of narrative - and don't try to shoehorn characters in.

Technically, Jet kind of appeared in Black Knight's multiplayer, but I know what you're trying to get at, Chaos. xP

Personally, I just wanna play as Knuckles and Shadow in a main game again. That's all I want, really.

Agreed. About what characters are in, as long I have 3 or more to play as in the story and 1 of them is knuckles, then I don't really care, except amy, I just don't like her, but I could make due if Sega found a way to make her fun.

About specific characters, I just wanna see the chaotix make a comeback, their own game if need be, since most of them are my favorite characters anyway, including knuckles, he was one of the original members after all.

I also agree with BlizShadow about teams, it was cool to see Knuckles, Blaze, and shadow as one.

Am I the only one who thinks Nack should be brought back into the games, maybe as a possible antagonist? Or even his own spin off game to explain his absence?

Who doesn't want him back? It's just, he's in the same situation as Might, Ray, Bean, and Bark, characters who just stopped appearing in the games, and I'm sure there's some reason/excuse not to put them back in anyway. But yeah, if Nack could come back, yeah. As a possible playable character? Hell yeah. :cool:

If that's what you worried about, I got a few of them in my Sega brawlers roster. Bean and Bark I haven't got to yet, and Ray hasn't been updated from my older version of the game but I still have that up.

BTW, I just thought of something. The freedom fighters don't make appearances in the games, but how did they get into sonic spinball? There was also going to be a sonic game based on FF arc to but it was cancelled.

Sonic Fighters 2 wouldnt worry me, there would be a hell of a roster on it now, though I would have preffered something more like Street Fighter than what the first one was.
It shocks me that the Freedom Fighters from Satam/Archie havent had their own game yet. I realise it's a different continuity, but still :(
