Tails or Knuckles?

[Wes]

I voted Tails. I honestly have never played a game with Sonic in it besides Brawl and Mario & Sonic Olympics. So this is sort of an outsider opinion. But the first post said Vote or Die, so I voted. Although I do know about the series a little, I don't really know anything about the characters personalities or fighting ability. I assume that they both have the potential to have a good moveset because they all have been playable in the past. Tails seems like a cuter and friendlier character, while Knuckles seems very strong, and badass. However, Tails is just the second most important character in the series. Its as if, in the original Smash, if anyone else from the Mario series had gotten in before Luigi it wouldn't have seemed right. Or if anyone from the DK series had made it before Diddy. Its just whenever I hear the words 'Sonic Characters', Tails comes to my mind before Knuckles. So there, that's my reasoning.

I think I remember someone (it might have been koopaul but I really don't know) coming up with an order of characters to make in from each series. It was something like Main Character, Right Hand Man, Main Bad Guy, Leading Lady. But this sort of formula doesn't always work, but it does usually. Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach. Fox, Falco, Wolf (who sort of fits the anti-hero role, more, but is still a bad guy), Krystal. DK, Diddy, K. Rool, Dixie. Link, Young Link (a stretch because the Right Hand Man changes throughout the games with like Navi and Midna, and a lot of the times there wasn't one at all), Ganondorf, Zelda. Point is, Tails fits the role in terms of importance to the series and deserving to be in much better than Knuckles does.
