Thread wins for having a "don't care" option. It doesn't really apply to me that much, so I don't really have any issues about it. I would like to see his full running animations more, however, as those feel a bit left out.
But that doesn't eliminate most of the problem. What about Race stages? Tails is ridiculously underpowered in those.
Are you kidding? Combining Tails' "spin-fly" as I call it, and some smart maneuvering, he can actually be quite good in select race courses (I'm not suggesting you go off and solely race as him, however). Knuckles, actually, has
less of an advantage here than Tails does. The only way for any knuckles player to pull off a win in race, is by using shortcuts or quite the elaborate tactics, as knuckles cannot thok or spin-fly.

You don't really see as many Tails users as you see sonic and knuckles users in netgames. In fact, I've probably only seen 3 or 4 tails users in about 2 month's worth of netgaming. There are far too many sonic users out there, and knuckles users appear occasionally. The REAL problem is the fact that sonic is too powerful.
I personally don't see much of a problem with Sonic here. He once did have a problem, but that has been long forgotten about (see: multithok).
How in the world did you manage to classify Sonic and Knuckles netgames into one pile? I only know of two major sole knuckles players in the entire
community, them being SRB2-Playah and myself. On the subject of Tails' players, there are more than enough needed to have the issue of his speed be worthwhile.

he tends to go too far if he thoks.
You kidding? If you actually concentrate on where you're headed, there is no real hassle with the thok. Even I can use it at a sub-par level, and I use Sonic on a once-a-year basis.
Really, guys, if Tails' speed is that much of a problem, why hasn't it been brought up before? I see no problem where it is right now, if I actually
cared about it.
Bet you would never see me using apostrophes, eh Peno.
