Jackal

Sonic in the games and most other media is able to take on entire fleets of robots, take down gigantic egg-shaped killer space stations and take on powerful gods (Chaos, Solaris), and yet in SatAM he finds it difficult to take on a small group of SWATBots without a Power Ring. Don't get me wrong, I actually see the point to this handicap; SatAm is a much different universe compared to the others; if he was too powerful, Robotnik weren't of been sinister, he would just been a goofball.

The Power Ring also adds to Sonic's weakness, he shows he isn't as great as what the games make him to be; he can be defeated and sometimes, he needs a Dues Ex plot device to save the day. But what of the other Freedom Fighters? Sonic was obviously "weaken" to help show off their strengths, but what have they got? Bunnie's stronge? Sally's smart and has NICOLE? Rotor can fix things? Tails can fly? Antoine can...be a coward?

And yet, regardless, none of these really come into play; vary rarely do we see Bunnie do anything besides busting some doors open (why does she use karate? Surely Sally would benefit from that better); Sally comes up with plans and uses NICOLE but what good is she when faced in battle? Nothing, she's just the damsel in distress. Rotor in Season 1 was probaly the best all-round, showing his traits as a handyman off screen and still being an active member of the main party; shame they dumbed him down to a fat "Q" in season 2.

Tails having no mechanical skills, thumbs up, that*s what Rotor's for (disagree? Then look at how confusing it is in Archie), his flying abilities, thumbs up, being a "scardy-cat", thumbs down; Tails matures alot as the series progress, but he still seems to reley on Sonic saving his ass too much. And Antoine? Comic relief he may be, but his useless. Pure pointless to have around and a complete clutz. Archie did right by giving him a sword, but SatAm season 2 made the character even more unbearable. The maragerine scene is still priceless though. And finally Dulcy; hate her. No point to the character.

I've been a big time SatAM fan for many years now and I've decieded it's time to become a part of the community!

Hi everyone!
