    Default *Who Deserves it the Most? The Updated Mario & Sonic Character Request Thread*

    So I botched my attempt to add this to my Sochi wish list thread(No "Other" option among other things) , and after thinking about it some more, just creating a poll isn't all that informative since you really don't get anyone's perspective on why they think that character is deserving to be playable in the Mario & Sonic games.

    So I'm going to try something different.

    In this thread post your top two most wanted/deserving playable characters from the Sonic franchise along with your top two most wanted/deserving characters from the Mario Franchise.

    You can also list honorable mentions for other characters you'd like to see but only your top choice for each franchise counts towards that character's grand total of requests.

    You can explain your choices if you want, that way people know why you placed them ahead of so many others. Also, if you just want to list a single Sonic character or Mario character you can do that too.

    This way maybe we can find out who is really in demand and who just has a few really vocal fans.

    Example:


    I will update the OP with the results as soon as you guys start voting to reflect the standings.

    Most Requested Sonic Character:

    1) Rouge the Bat (7 votes, 2 honorable mentions)

    2) Espio (6 votes, 6 honorable mentions)

    3) Big the Cat (5 votes 2 honorable mentions)

    3) Tikal (5 votes 2 honorable mention)

    4) Cream (4 votes)

    5) Mighty (3 votes)

    6) Charmy (2 votes 2 honorable mention)

    7) Sally Acorn (1 vote 1 honorable mention)

    7) Bark the Polar Bear (1 vote)

    7) Eggman Nega (1 vote)

    7) Chaos 0 (1 vote)

    7) Omega (1 vote)

    8.) Classic Sonic (1 honorable mention)

    8.) Princess Elise (1 honorable mention)

    4) Metal Mario (2 votes)

    4) Toadette (2 votes)

    5) Dixie Kong ( 1 vote 1 honorable mention)

    5) Baby Mario (1 vote)

    5) King Boo (1 vote)

    5) Captain Syrup (1 vote)

    5) Random Koopaling (1 vote)

    6) Mona (1 honorable mention)

    Ahhhh...Awesome topic! but theres too many characters that deserve their spot. And theres also my most desired character wich doesnt necessarily mean he/her deserves the spot.
    oh well...here goes:

    Sonic character:

    Most wanted: Espio
    why? well theres many reasons, first of all hes a freaking Ninja! what else do you want? second theres his personality, wich I think its a nice contrast, hes always talking about wise decisions and ninja stuff. We got enough "yay I did it" types so yeah...then hes also my favorite Chaotix character AND hes been there as a referee for a long time now and I think he deserves to participate in the events ;D

    Most Deserving: Jet
    Why? because he is the main rival/antagonist of the Riders series, lets not forget theres already a trilogy, while (sadly) Espio hasnt been playable ever since Heroes, only making small cameos. Also ever since the Rivals concept came to the M&S series he has been there as a rival so I think he deserves it the most. Although he never was included in a "main" game so I guess it might not be entirely true. But just the fact that he appeared in the Winter Olympics and London 2012 makes him worthy enough I guess.

    Honorable Mentions: Rouge, Omega, Cream.

    Mario Character:

    Most Wanted: Rosalina
    Well basically since shes... awesome and probably the best new-ish character out there in the Mario Universe. And this game needs more girls. I think she would make an awesome audition to the "girls" team along with Rogue. You can see Mario Galaxys heavy impact on the dream events and playing as her on those events would be a blast :3

    Most Deserving: Toad
    No need to explain much here, Toad is almost always playable on the Mario roster for spin-offs like Mario Kart, Mario Party (5 and onwards), Mario Superstar Baseball/ Sluggers, Mario Strikers / Strikers Charged and more, I guess he was ideal for the referee position but he more than deserves the spot, and I know many of you will say he has tiny arms and all but Bowser Jr has very tiny arms for his body structure and yet hes there, so yeah...

    Honorable Mentions: Birdo, Dry Bones, Koopa Troopa (yeah they are baddies but both have been in pretty much every main game too and have been playable in other sports games so why not?)

    Technically that thing about Espio isn't true. He was playable in a handheld game called Rivals 2, and in Shadow the Hedgehog a second player could be him if they turned on the second controller during his missions.

    But I do agree with Jet on the grounds that he was planned for the first and shows up in the second and third. For a personality connection, it's an ahtletics tournament, he's an athlete in what seems to be their equivilant of...Basically anything with a wheel. Also, considering it seems to have gone from "Rivalry" to "Obsession", it seems unlikely he'd give up a chance to go against Sonic.

    I vote Espio for the Sonic side, just because.

    For the Mario side...um, Diddy Kong? Kind of drawing a blank here, there wasn't any beyond Bowser Jr in the first place!

    Sonic character: Espio

    I think Espio would make a worthy addition to the roster and has the build for it as well.

    Mario character: Toad

    Toad would definitely be my answer here. Toad is one of the major and longrunning characters from the Mario series and by now he deserves to be playable. Toad can easily be made into a playable character as he has been a playable character in many games before as well.

    For the Sonic side, obviously Cream and Rouge. The have had more appearances, playable or not, and have done more when compared to the likes of Espio and Charmy.

    For the Mario side, I say Rosalina, and Diddy Kong. Even though I am not that big of a Rosalina fan, she seems to have gained lots of popularity as of late, so it would make sense. Diddy Kong obviously would be perfect for Donkey Kongs partner.

    However, this leads to a problem. I'm sure Sega wants the amount of girls representing each franchise even. So they probably wouldn't want 4 girls from Sonic and only 3 from Mario. However, if they added three characters per franchise, they could easily solve this. Add Jet or Espio (preferably Jet, only because he fits oh so well with those Snowboarding events) to the Sonic cast and add Birdo to the Mario Cast.

    Thanks for the input Beat, you're more than likely right about SEGA wanting to keep it balanced, which is one of the reasons I half expect to see Big or Omega put on the roster just to give Sonic more heavy weights, not because they were in popular demand.

    Also, updated results!

    Because Sonic the Fighters that's why.

    And a Polar Bear makes a heck of a lot of sense... hmm wonder who his Mario equivalent would be?

    Also thanks, updating!
