I got help from 2 friends about it, here is what we were talking:
Ground says:
michael, if there was a sonic fan game that you could make a custom character but only sonic could turn super, you would be sad, right?
Michael says:
elaborate
Ground says:
would you have a good reason to have super forms for another characters instead of just sonic?
Michael says:
i would
Ground says:
what would you say about it?
Michael says:
Super forms in the sonic universe as far as rom hacks go make the game more fun.
makes you want to play
it give you a certain feeling
an elation like feeling
Sonicboy says:
a sonic game without superform is like grilled cheese without the cheese
Michael says:
yup
Ground says:
and what if a child say "Just Sonic should have super form because his super form would make him more unique", what would you object?
Michael says:
My son has done it yet again.
That's a steriotype.
If you give your fanchar the ability to use the chaos emeralds
they should be able to use the emeralds just like sonic
in their own way
Sonicboy says:
like overpowered
or
Michael says:
maybe limited power
depends on what your character can do
and cant do
Sonicboy says:
just a little better than normal
I really like the super form idea, it would make super characters actually different, but with a limit, so custom characters could be different from Super Sonic and Sonic would still be unique, like my friend Usuario the Hedgehog said for someone like Tails and Knuckles:
"Pressing the spin button while flying gives Tails a small boost that only lasts 1 second, a bit of more fly energy and disallows flying up that second and can only be done once per flight"
"Knuckles and the Glide and Climb ability would have..."
"Fast as Sonic, a bit faster gliding/climbing"
"And if the spin button is pressed while gliding, Knuckles will spin and get a small jump like a normal jump"
"The disadvantage?It lowers gliding/climbing speed and can only be used once"
See? Super forms can be useful and improved in such different ways without being overpowered
