Welcomed but not entirely surprising, one Mr. Sonic T. Hedgehog makes his way to the Smash Bros arena.  Finally, the 16 bit rivalry of Sonic and Mario can be decided in the setting of brutal combat, rather than Olympic sportsmanship.  Looking to be a very fast character, Sonic zooms around with reckless abandon and harasses [...]
