Robotnik, Big the Cat, and Knuckles >> Tails

[Aristobulus]

Seriously, Tails is cool and all, but what's he got on Robotnik besides being a fox? Robotnik even has a Ph.D. In what, I don't know. But he has one. Tails doesn't. And we all should just admit that there are characters that are just downright better than Tails, including, but not limited to: Robotnik, Big the Cat, Knuckles, and Nack, who everyone forgets because he's never in any games.

Of course, only Genesis Knuckles is cooler than Tails, because that's the only real Knuckles. 3D Knuckles sucks and is an idiot. He has that whole gullible thing, and he's not actually gullible. I mean sure, in Sonic 3 he believed Sonic to be evil, but come on, the evidence was supporting Robotniks claim that Sonic was good. Just think about it. And Knuckles was cool then, with the whole 'jumping on switches sending Sonic falling to his untimely and likely demise at the hands of something and then laughing about it while awesome music plays'.

Can anyone here tell me they actually like Tails, and not just the fact that he's a fox? Seriously, rethink this. Also, I really doubt many of you liked Tails so much during the Genesis era, if you played games then. Oh sure, more than Sonic, but I doubt he was/would've been your favorite character.

Nice icons by the way.

I like Tails the best but if you have it so I have to choose another character then it would have to be Robotnik. How can you even think Big the Cat is better then anything? Plus trying to ask people on a "Tails" board to not like Tails doesn't really make much sense since no one will listen. Oh yeah, I did like Tails the best back with the Genisis games but I like him more now with the newer ones.

It is, however, the best way to find out exactly what people see in Tails in regards to other characters. I could go to a different forum but I'd only find a few people who could answer why they see Tails as better.

I like Tails because he trys his best. Sonic (seems to be thinking he)`s the best, but Tails always trys! The fact that he`s two tailed gives me the feeling he´s saying "Take me how I am and not how Ilook like!"

Genesis Knuckles > Advance Knuckles > Advance Tails > All other Sonic characters > Genesis Tails

Tails is the best but out of those characters I would say knux>eggman>big, also Tails can beat the crap out of Robotnik in every platform style sonic game where he is playable.

Heh, Tails was always my favourite character when I first played him in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and (Despite it is irrelevant to the actual Tails) The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Naturally, though, I was always into the "Side-kick" characters rather than the main hero. I liked Luigi more than Mario, Tails more than Sonic. (On the contrary, my brother always took them.) However, from such I have liked him out of the sheer memory of it all, and because I liked him, he seemed cool to me in the "Genesis era" as one might call it. The fact of flying and perhaps of the entertainment factor he gave when messing about by being controlled via Sega genesis. In any event, I like the character they have given him in the recent years, but it has not made me like him any more.

Tails is my favourite character, but it is by no means due to the character they have given him, I do not care for his use in the series, that doesn't make it more important. (However the flying addition in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was a very nice touch.)

i had to vote big, because i love big,( one of the few that do sadly) but ... its really because a certain fanfiction has slanted my opinion towards liking him alot more... i read so many sometimes fics mix with official story in my brain >,<.. or maybe i just like the Big in the fanfics more... cant deny it.. for
further reasoning... well i have always been a cat person... heh. BUT... as far as the official storyline goes.. i like shadow,
Tails, and Eggman , shadow because i dig the whole drama thing, Tails because he is the smartest, And Eggman because he is one of those game villans that mess up so bad that it always ends up being funny.. But because there werent enough of them, big got my vote. ;D

I'll admit that during the Genesis era, Knuckles was my favorite over Tails. Nowadays, when it comes to 3D, its vice-versa. Out of the 4, I vote Nack & then Big>Knux>Eggman.
