Surge: Has any of your friends not tried to waste you? Sonic: Look, once you get to know me, I’m very likable.
So for Sonic's rivals, we have: Metal Sonic - Robot Sonic Shadow - Dark Sonic Blaze - Alternate Sonic Jet - Air Sonic/Bird Sonic Silver - Future Sonic Scourge - Anti Sonic Surge - Clone Sonic/Anti Sonic again ..... & Knuckles 😂

@@clasherinotheone5249 I more or less mean that their personalities and their motives clash a lot. Also, to be fair you aren’t wrong about Sonic and Knuckles, but they have fought so many times in the past that you kind of have to say that he is a rival to Sonic, or at least used to be. Not Sonic and Shadow is another story, as yes they don’t fight as much anymore, but it they have a disagreement, they are just as likely to fight it out as they would to just talk about it. Also, the idea that Shadow is more interesting as his own character, which I do agree with in games such as Sonic 06, doesn’t really mean anything in the case you are describing. The main thing to know about Shadow is that while he may look like Sonic in some ways, but is considered the Yang to Sonic’s Yin, as while they are both heroes, they both have their own styles to doing things. Not saying that’s all their is to Shadow’s character, as their is so much more to him than that, but that is what I mean by saying that he is still Sonic’s rival.
Mans rocking that entire opp list
Mecha Sonic of Mark Haynes is THE BEST
Blaze is the best one for me
Silver is form sonic the Hedgehog(2006)
People might say this is too much, but it's important for heroes who to have rivels mainly to give the hero a new challenge

Dante from devil may cry only ever had 1 rival lol. You don’t really need this many tbh
I really really really wish the great old times continued majorly. Sorry if no one here knows, but I would ask the world if I could what happened. Sonic and his friends had such great stories with their rivals in 3D action, gameplay, cutscenes, and stuff. For example in my opinion, Jet, Wave, and Storm were interesting characters as racing rivals of Sonic and his friends. Oh come on, please, it has been so, so long.

The funniest thing about the thumbnail is that all of those characters are essentially clones of Sonic. And they are all referred to as his rivals, even though they aren’t really rivals. but the one clone that actually is his rival, in fact it’s his entire character placement, is not in the thumbnail. Jet the Hawk. lol

@@nithinshakthithiruppathi4028 Bo it’s actually not a disservice at all. I mean Shadow’s whole schtick is that he’s a Sonic clone as is Metal Sonic’s. In different ways of course. Metal Sonic, in universe, is meant to be a robot copy of him. Shadow, in real life, is meant to be based on Sonic so that, in universe, they come off as alternate versions of each other even if by coincidence (or maybe not coincidence if the mural theory is true). Blaze is supposed to be Sonic’s equivalent from another dimension. And Knuckles is literally based on another spiked animal that roles into a ball, and when he runs in both classic and modern games he runs in the same pose as Sonic. He’s supposed to be the Sonic if Sonic were more strength-based. Even if you look at SegaSonic Arcade and see Mighty and Ray run alongside him, it’s just a red Sonic who’s strong and a yellow Sonic who can fly. So…. Tails-Sonic and Knuckles-Sonic. Even Amy was just the pink girl Sonic. She changed her hair and had her own personality but now, as much as I hate how generic they’ve decided to try and make her, her personality bio sounds like a description of Sonic. It’s not a disservice. It’s a theme. There’s meaning behind it. There’s a little bit of Sonic in everyone.

@@Axxidous They are much more than Sonic clones. You are saying it isn’t a disservice to these characters, but really it kind of is. What you are saying is that all of these characters are clones of Sonic. If it’s gameplay your talking about, then yes a lot of them control the same, but then wouldn’t Jet, the character you are saying isn’t a clone of Sonic, be a clone? These characters aren’t something you can just say are clones of Sonic, as that can be said to be a disservice to them.

@@LynxWind It’s obvious they are much more than Sonic clones. No one said they weren’t. And I’m saying it isn’t a disservice because it’s not since them being clones isn’t an insult of a lack of originality or individuality. It’s a conscious decision made with a theme in mind. I just described plain and clear how each of them are clones. There’s no denying it. I don’t understand what you mean by “if it’s gameplay you’re talking about” unless you skipped over what I already wrote. lol And I’m NOT saying Jet isn’t a clone of Sonic. Bruh look at their promo art in Riders 1. Jet is literally Sonic as a bird. They even did what they did with Evil Sonic aka Scourge in the comics and just swapped the body and eye color. The Babylon Rogues as a whole are clearly each inspired by Team Sonic but skewed. You’re actually providing a disservice to my original comment which said that all the characters in the thumbnail are Sonic Clones and considered rivals, but none of them are ACTUAL true rivals to Sonic except the one Sonic clone that’s not in the thumbnail: Jet. He is a Sonic clone who is not in the thumbnail and is the only one who is TRULY just a rival to Sonic. Everyone’s else is a friend, an enemy, ally. Frienemy, but they all have other unique dynamics to their relationship. But Jet’s relationship and dynamic with Sonic is literally 100% “RIVAL”. He’s the only one whose sole existence is to compete with Sonic for competition’s sake.
Honestly, out of all characters listed here Scourge, Swifty and also Jet are the only ones who can be called true Sonic rivals. Like, Scourge's whole life purpose is to prove he's the best version of Sonic until he realized he must be his own thing.

Considering Super Sonic tries to unalive Sonic multi time as well as his friends, allies and everyone else including the planet
I think i need to explain something for people (EVERYONE) who get this wrong BLAZE IS NOT a COUNTERPART OF SONIC FROM THE SOL DIMENSION Blaze is FROM THE FUTURE and ended UP in the sol dimension The sequence of events goes Blaze in sonic 06 gets sent to the sol dimension after absorbing iblis (She literally states that shes going to seal herself into a different dimension because silver wouldnt kill her) Crossing dimensions through abstract means probably causes amnesia because sonic gets amnesia when he gets to the sol dimension in the IDW comics. Blaze likely suffered amnesia because she doesnt know who sonic is and her place in rush would be the first time they met. Eggman nega is FROM THE FUTURE as stated in sonic rivals Blaze is a princess however in the sol dimension so the only 1 realistic explanation She just took over emedialty apon entering the sol dimension since they mistook her for their true queen(theres a version of eggman nega in the sol dimension so its probably a parallel reality to the dark future of silvers timeline BLAZE IS NOT AN ALTERNATE SONIC FROM THAT DIMENSION

this makes sense aside from one thing, sonic rush came out before 06.
Finally someone knows their Mecha and Metal lore. Mecha sonic Mk 1 is the same entity as mk2. Metal sonic is a different entity. Something Smbz got wrong for Mechas back story. Also fun fact for anyone reading: In sonic adventure 1 we see a mecha mk3 in a pod. As for Metal sonic, he makes an appearance as neo metal sonic as his new upgrade in heroes.

Mehpiles is one of the best villains in the franchise, even if 06 is a steaming piece of shit. His confident yet sinister voice, the demonic aura that seems to follow him, the feeling of uneasiness, fear even. And that theme of his, a piano spiraling down into madness as if Mephiles is being driven to insanity. Scourge is hot garbage though.
