Best and worst Sonic the Hedgehog character

[Deleted]

Always liked Knuckles and Robotnik (Eggman to you young'uns . Lamest? It may be pretty old hat to say Amy Rose, but...well, she's pretty annoying.

Big The Cat has to be the worst.

[Hit Girl]

Best = Sonic and Dr Robotnik

Worst = Every other character

[BayleyTiffyCodyCenaJudyHopps]

In general going by all the continuities, Sally Acorn is #1 with Sonic and Scourge nipping at her heels. The worst are all the original characters in Sonic Underground.

Game wise? Fang/Nack, Sonic himself, Tails, Eggman, Espio and Blaze are near the top, while Big is somewhere near the bottom.

[Herman The Tosser]

Best - The Brotherhood of Metallix. An army of Metal Sonics that managed to erase Robotnik from existence, thereby forcing Sonic to go back in time and actually cause the genesis of his worst enemy? God I loved STC.

Worst: Princess Elise. Not even close. Thankfully, Sonic '06 erased itself from history at the end.

Best - Sonic, Knuckles, and Dr. Eggbotnik

Worst - Shadow the Hedgehog and Amy Rose(sometimes)

[Allie Kitsune]

Best : Robotnik.

Worst : Everyone who isn't Robotnik.

Looking at it purely from a plot perspective, rather than gameplay. Didn't really enjoy Gamma's gameplay in SA1, for example, but his storyline was deeper than the series normally managed, and worked well.

Best: Eggman, Tails, Gamma, Silver, Rouge, Shadow.
Worst: Knuckles, Charmy, Omochao.

Knuckles irritates me because his plotline was over and done with in 1994, but he's been dragged back for most outings, without ever doing anything of consequence, and his personality has become "Oh no, I've been fooled by Eggman again!" at his best, and "Hi, I'm still here!" at worst.

In an extended universe sense, I'd also throw in Fleetway Amy, Tekno, Shortfuse, the Metallix and Metamorphia as among the best.

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

Silver's pretty bad.

Don't try to argue it, remember, IT'S NO USE!

[FinalGwen]

A glitchy boss fight doesn't invalidate him as a character, in my book. Plus, he had appearances in the Rivals games, which were really solid gameplay-wise as well as developing the character.

(And I didn't hear much of the "It's no use!", as I set my Xbox to Japanese settings whenever I played Sonic 06, just so I could hear Ono Daisuke as Silver. )

Plus the fight with him in the console version of Generations was pretty cool.

[FinalGwen]

Didn't even think of that! Good point! One of the best things about Generations was how it managed to redeem a Sonic '06 level and fight. I just wish we could get the whole game in that style. '06 had some great level designs, interesting plot ideas, and some of the best music in the series (which is saying a lot, as even the worst games generally have great soundtracks). It's just a pity that the gameplay was so smegging awful.

Best: (besides Sonic himself; that'd be cheating) Tails

Worst: Cream

My favorite was always Knuckles. His comics were better than Sonic's.

Dear God, yes: to this day I think the greatest accomplishments of the Archie Sonic comic series were the Knuckles series and the "Tales of the Great War" B-stories they kept putting in to issues. Those were fantastic, and the Knuckles series was wonderfully ambitious.

Still, SatAM Robotnik is your lord and master.

Don't have much use for Shadow, myself. The whole anime style anti-hero figure-who-still-helps-the-good-guys just annoys me at this stage.

One of the things that I am glad about Nintendo Power dying was that I never have to read the death threats to this character again, even he debuted in the strangest of ways.

I don't really have a Best/Worst list, but I do have to say that Knuckles has lost a lot of influence in the franchise. He always seems to play the same role of "easily duped character".

Best: Tails
Worst: Silver the "IT'S NO USE!"Hog

[Dub H]

Personally mh favourites are Espio and Vector. i glad they started getting more love.

My least favourite is probably Amy or Cream.
