So, I've never played Blaster Master before, which is apparently the inspiration for this character – though apparently things have drifted significantly away from Blaster Master over the course of development – but I did greatly enjoy playing little Sophia here! I was more than a little surprised at how fun she would turn out to be considering her gameplay is so very different from any other character I've played up to this point.
She's not particularly fast at first, but at Gear Max, she's unexpectedly quick on those treads. The triangle shades are adorable; makes me wonder if she uses spiral power. Haha!
Strangely enough, I vaguely recall having played as a playable Crawla at some point in a pre-2.2 version of the game. I'm pretty sure it played nothing like Sophia, though, not that characters like these and others we see today were really possible back then; Sophia is a lot more fun.
