I still feel they are running low on ideas and just taking stuff from old fan crap. :< Seriously, I've been ripped from alot so far, I made Nitemare have fire powers back during SA2B (Shaddap about Shadow), Then Blaze came out a few years later and all. Senku was created not much later after Nitemare was, along with his ragey form thingy, HEY LOOKIE SatSR with a rage type for for Sonic. NOW Hey look Sega now gave a hedgehog a sword, I wonder where they could get that, though I know that there are probably other hedgehogs with swords, BUT the old Senku is the only one I knew before with a two handed sword. I shouldn't exactly complain now since I've scrapped the hedgehog version of my characters "sorta." I only keep those types for Sonic related games at times so I have something interesting to throw in for fun, but humans are my way to go for now.
Sonic with a sword is just a big no-no, but I'll look forward to it for now only cause I like swords and all.
