Super Sonic Super Smash Bros Brawl

Super Sonic in Brawl: An Unpopular Opinion?

Okay, let's be real. Remember Super Smash Bros. Brawl? That game was HUGE.

Everyone had their favorite characters. Link, Mario, maybe even... *shudders*... Meta Knight.

But I'm here to talk about someone special. Someone speedy. I'm talking about Super Sonic.

The Gold Rush...or Dud?

Getting Super Sonic in Brawl was an event! You grabbed that Smash Ball, landed the hit, and transformed.

Suddenly, you were golden and practically invincible. The sheer speed! It was glorious... or was it?

Here's my potentially controversial take: Super Sonic in Brawl wasn't as great as we remember.

Control Issues

Okay, yeah, he was fast. Insanely fast. But controlling him? That was another story.

It felt like driving a sports car on ice. Good luck aiming those attacks! I often launched myself off the stage.

Anyone else spend half their Super Sonic time accidentally self-destructing?

The Spam Factor

Let's face it. Many players just spammed the same few moves.

Homing attack, anyone? Over and over and over? It got repetitive, fast. A bit boring too, honestly.

The strategy felt less "skillful" and more "mash buttons and hope for the best".

The Visual Clutter

Brawl wasn't exactly known for its crystal-clear visuals. Things could get messy.

Add in Super Sonic's glowing aura and the explosion effects, and it was a visual overload.

Sometimes, I couldn't even see where I was going. A golden blur amidst more colorful chaos.

Other Transformations Were Better

Hear me out. Some of the other transformation characters were just more fun.

Wario-Man? Bowser's giant form? They offered more strategic options (and were easier to control!).

They brought a certain chaotic charm that Super Sonic, in my opinion, lacked.

Still Cool...But Overrated?

Look, I'm not saying Super Sonic was terrible. Seeing that golden form appear was undeniably hype.

The music change was awesome! Getting the Smash Ball in the first place was a thrill.

But compared to other character's final smashes, Super Sonic just felt...lacking sometimes.

Unpopular Opinion: A Touch Disappointing

Maybe I'm being too harsh. Nostalgia can cloud our judgment.

But as a kid, getting to play as Super Sonic felt like a dream come true. After, it was… okay!

Maybe, just maybe, Super Sonic in Super Smash Bros. Brawl was a little overrated. Don't hate me!

What do you think? Was Super Sonic as amazing as everyone remembers, or am I onto something? Let me know!
