They passed over Tails for THAT?! Eww, it looks like a hooker you'd find
in Station Square.

And what the hell do they mean "Sonic w/Sliders"? Don't tell me they're
planning a White Castle promotion to go along with this too!

On a beautiful morning 17 Feb 2001, weirdo Col. John "Hannibal"
Smith was found molesting a poor Puyo in alt.fan.sonic-hedgehog,
when OmoChao approached with the following reprimand:

Well. I assume they're referring to his new Jet Grind-type shoes that
he's wearing in this game.

And Shadow (his name is revealed) looks nice. And it's swell and all
that ReSaurus is making a third series... but...

ick... this looks like a bad three-way mating between Grandia 2's
Millenia, Bunnie Rabbot, and snuffles.

Blimey, I feel like one of the few people who's actually really excited about this.  I mean, hurrah!  New Sonic characters!  Rouge is certainly not Amy or Tikal.  I bet she could kick the crap out of Sonic any day, and her ears are cool.  Well yes, her clothes leave much to be desired but if she's a villain like I suspect, it works.  And Shadow, oooo.  I really, really like his design.  So there.  Gah, I'm ill so I'll go and lie down now.

I can't see her flying about though, she's far too top-heavy.  Maybe Sonic Team have been playing too much Tomb Raider.

With the shoes, instead of having the white stripe going down the shoe in the
middle, it goes over the top. Perhaps these are new light-speed like shoes?
I'm guessing sliders ment the grinding move.

So does that mean SA2 will have a delayed release in the US because the
Anally-Retentive Mothers For the Removal Of Anything Fun In America will
think that since there's a tie-in to JGR, Sonic will be spraypainting
stuff and thus promoting VANDALISM and possibly GANG-RELATED
VIOLENCE???!?!?!?//1/1??!/?!/1

The ARMFROAFIA? I think they are too busy in the trying too get Conker's Bad
Fur Day banned, and arguing that the "Japanese people should make more Pokemon"
because it denounces violence, though they try to kill each other getting their
brat kid's the toys.

Yeah but she's clearly going to be a bad guy, making her Excellent.

Looks like Sonic Team is introducing a new Japanese plot theme with each
game, now. Sonic 1 had the 7 Chaos Emeralds, ultimate sources of power.
Sonic 2 had kitsunes, and revealed that those Emeralds could transform Sonic
into Super Sonic. Sonic 3 introduced a naive guardian, who is tricked and
betrayed (not sure about that one). SA had Chaos, the guy who destroyed the
world a long time ago, and who is starting to do the same thing now. Now in
SA2, maybe we'll have people transforming ala Dr. Jackell and Mr. Hyde, as
well as Grandia 2's Elena and Millenia.

Meaning, bad.

Nah, in my personal opinion.  If you look at Rouge properly you'll see that she's actually been designed really well.  Those neat little wings, the cool huge boots, her ears!  I mean, wow!  Plenty of designers would have said, "man, we can't give a female character huge ears in a video game.  That's completely unappealing, even if she is a bat."  But they did, and they look good.  She doesn't even need your Swirly Anime Hair which is always the first thing you put on a fan character (I know, I've been there...).  I like Rouge, she's just completely different to the other official female Sonic characters.  The cute Amy, Tikal the pacifist...I'm just praying that Rouge is a bitch.  *:-)

Oh no.

When Aderack and I were playing PSO last night, he asked me if he had seen
"Rouge" (it worked for the Power Stone character... but eeeewww....), and,
assuming he was referring to another "Nails" rumor, responded sarcastically
that I was "really surprised that Naka had gone ahead with that."

Oh no.

If this were on a fansite, I wouldn't believe it. I mean, look at Sonic
compared to Shadow - doesn't look like the same toy company, does it?

Oh no.

Look, I got my fill of kinky demon(esqe) sex from Grandia 2... does it have
to in Sonic as well?!

OH NO.

IcE is right. This looks like a TeamArtail "Official Knothole Freedom
Fighter". It looks like someone took their drawing sheets of Sonic, added a
bustline and wings and spent three seconds going through a cosmetics case
before deciding on "Rouge."

SAY IT ISN'T SO!!!

If, she's, good.

But Nails The Bat was always rumoured as Shadow's equivalent to Tails. If
this is true then Rouge is immediately rendered Excellent. She's the Sonic
Universe's first bad girl. So far there's been Amy, and she's just meant to
represent the typical young Japanese girl. But now we've got a fighter. As
Abby said on the phone earlier, this will probably happen:

Rouge fans: Ha! Look how cool Rouge is!
Sally fans: Yes - another rubbish female character! Look at Sally, she's
independant!
Rouge fans: So what's Rouge then? She's actually nasty!
Sally fans: You are forgetting - Sally is independant! Amy is rubbish!
Amy fans: Hey! Amy's great!
Sally fans: No way, she dotes over Sonic, therefore she isn't independant!
Rouge fans: But Rouge doesn't dote over Sonic, and is independant.
Sally fans: But Sally's way more independant! She's the princess! Girl
power!
Amy fans: But look, Amy's all bubbly and BOINGY!
Rouge fans: Yeah, and Rouge is well mean.
Sally fans: SALLY SALLY SALLY.
Amy fans: AMY AMY AMY.
Rouge fans: ROUGE ROUGE ROUGE.
Normal people: Actually, when viewed from a creative viewpoint, all three
characters are worth a lot in their own ways. Their relationships with the
other characters make them all stand out. Each has a definite place in their
respective worlds, and when used correctly have enormous potential.
Fans: ...? ...AMY! ROUGE! SALLY!
Normal people: Oh forget it.

Well done, David. *anticipates the arguments and rantings when the game
actually does come out... if it ever does*

Wow! I've never been known to be a Normal Person before (since I don't
really care for all three characters... except, of course, for Rouge - although
I think the visual aspect needs some work.)
