Metal Knuckles & Tails Doll - Sonic R Characters V1.2

My child Metal Knuckles is here. His moveset so good yes.

Perfectly polished, IMO. Excellent work on Tails Doll's moving parts, and overall just great takes on the characters overall. Making Metal Knuckles a combination of Metal Sonic and Knuckles was especially neat and worked surprisingly well!

These two are great. They both have excellent graphics and extra mod support. They feel very at home in SRB2.

Metal Knuckles plays a lot like Knuckles but with a lot of twists, so he's about what you'd expect. His battle mod rules are fun and appropriate. Overall he just fits in really well.

Tails Doll is the odder one. He plays in a very unusual way but is well balanced and interesting. Probably one of the most unique characters for SRB2, yet again he fits right in.

This mod is nothing short of amazing. You can tell that a lot of effort was put into it. I'll try to cover the pros and cons of each character.

TAILS DOLL:

PROS:
- Amazing use of sprites, a ragdoll approach to his character shows how silly he is as a concept.
- His abilities are well thought out, even if the floaty jump may take a while to get used to for some characters.
- Out of the two, I feel like TD is the best.

CONS:
- Battlemod ability could use a bit more creativity. I do know it's inspired by the Tails Doll for when you're playing battle mod alone but it still feels a bit bland. Though you could argue that his abilities in normal gameplay work.


METAL KNUCKLES:

PROS:
- Amazing sprites.
- Abilities have been made better, now they complement each other better. Earlier versions had a worse idea for a moveset.
- Battlemod ability is balanced. A strong move with a hefty price.

CONS:
- He's a bit uninteresting compared to Tails Doll in my opinion but is still a fun character.


CONCLUSION:
5/5

Both characters are very interesting to play as! Especially Childhood Terror- I mean Tails Doll.

POSITIVES
+ Metal Knuckles has abilities both similar and different than Knuckles. Similar as to not be completely different, but still different enough to not feel exactly the same.
+ Tails Doll's red diamond shield is very fun to play around, especially with parrying enemy attacks!
+ Super Metal Knuckles!

NOTICES
/ Just like his fleshy counterpart, Tails Doll cannot use the Chaos Emeralds
/ It takes a bit of time to get used to Tails Doll's floaty jump. Tapping Jump barely lifts you off the ground now...
/ Metal Knuckles has to take Knuckles' paths, obviously.

NEGATIVES
- You have to know a lot about playing Knuckles before you play as Metal Knuckles. If Metal Knuckles touches a wall he cannot climb onto during his dash, he will bounce all over the place, leaving you vulnerable to getting hit, or falling into a death pit.
- Tails Doll's arm and leg segments tend to dislocate from his body when running... a lot.

I love it but how did you make tails doll work?

I'm going to be honest, I had no idea who these characters were until I saw this mod.
They're pretty cool, Metal Knuckles is probably my favorite character to play as.

I love the mod, but my favourite part is the image on the front page just looks like metal Knuckles slapped the stuffing out of tails doll lmao.

truly a masterpiece, both characters are fun to play as. but for people who are playing this one for the first time, i won't spoil it. but do check it out!

i love the way tails doll and knuckles function and look, their movesets are perfect! (i honestly wish we could see tails doll in IDW.) btw do you have plans to give these characters super forms?

incredible the truth

Fun = haha 1 jk 5

After like a year of this mod's release I want to give a rating to it. Honestly. even before it got released I knew these characters existed due to some gifs of gameplay. I never thought they would be in the same package, but here they are. As of now, I feel that these two characters have abilities well implemented and original, and work really well together. Metal Knuckle's abilities are really fun to play with. Instead of giving him a glide and calling it a day, there was a whole new ability made for him, and it's really creative and fun to mess around with. The sprites are also amazing, really high quality and feels really vanilla. Tails Doll on the other hand, blew my mind. Not only does he have drag doll physics, but also has a really unique ability fun to mess around with. This is what I love about these characters, they feel "official" in some way. Congrats to the creators for making such good sprites and excellent abilities for these two characters. At least if they won't appear in official games anymore, they left their mark in SRB2. I also saw that the same creators are making a Heavy and Bomb mod, and it looks high quality as well. Thank you for bringing these two almost "forgotten" characters to SRB2.

Honestly, the way how tails doll's limbs just move around while im moving just makes me laugh. overall i like both of these characters, they're quite fun to play as, and tails doll feels like how it did in sonic R, but just in a different game, and better.

These characters feel like the Mighty and Ray of SRB2. They are fun to play as, obscure, and feel official. These characters feel great and unique! This is one of my favorite mods for SRB2! I am so glad to see Metal Knuckles again!

I don't usually get to rate 2 characters in one shot, but I'll try my best to explain why these 2 are some of my favorites.

Tails Doll feels very unique among all the other characters on the message board, yet not out of place. His Poly Shield ability is neat overall, and flat out ignoring damage for a moment is satisfying a lot of the time similarly to Sonic's Insta-Shield in S3K. His floatiness also makes him feel fresh when compared to all the characters with standard physics. His visual assets are wonderfully crafted, and I can never not smile at seeing him bounce around with his ragdoll physics.

Metal Knuckles... I love him. If you caught me before the latest update, he'd still be one of my favorites yet with a few flaws. As of now, though, those flaws have been washed away. Charge Glide gives MK a nice way to get around, and is a nice middle ground between Metal's hover and Knux's glide. Having Charge Climbing be optional alongside regular climbing makes it fun to plan on when you should use it over regular climbing in some scenarios, and it's very fun to be able to essentially switch between the two on a whim. Having a spike breaker passive is also a neat touch. Dash Mode meshes wonderfully with MK's kit, being very rewarding to get since it shortens wait time for Charge Glide and can even be kept while climbing.

I really love these two. Main game completed with 7 emeralds in tow, once for each. Play them. :)

Tails doll is my favorite I like the idea to use a ragdoll physics, his poly barrier is also epic it reflects and he is balanced on battlemod besides survival but that gamemode suck lol.

Also there's a bug that if you are on fp view and press tab (scoreboard) and then go back to third person while still holding show scoreboard TD won't appear but once releasing show scoreboard we can see him again (it's not a major bug) https://imgur.com/a/ipnpAkh

1.1 Released! Metal Knuckles is one of my favorite characters in the game already, he is a blast to play and with this new update, he feels even better to play as. I have few words for Tails Doll, but he is surely fun as well.

Metal Knuckles is really fun to play as, a Knuckles with a boost mode and a wall spindash is a really great concept, and the execution of it was amazing!

Tails Doll's gameplay is great too! Love how goofy he looks here, and all of his parts being segments to make him ragdoll and jiggle was genius!
However, since my computer hates fun, Tails Doll's poly barrier causes a great fps drop every time it's used in some larger maps. This is solved if I activate his secret, but that doesn't help other Doll players from causing drops.

Anyways, these two are great! I'd be happy if there was a way to reduce the Doll's lagginess in the future, but I'm good with how it is now!

Well made mod of 2 fun characters from the classic Sonic R!

Tails Doll: As terrifying as usual!

Metal Knuckles: Sure is made out of metal!

I loved how the sprites looked and how they were animated, extra cred to how wobbly Tails Doll was! I liked Metal Knuckles Mechanic of charging up his "dash thing" (as you can tell i am very good at forming sentences)

Great jobb!
