Is tails lack of self confidence anything to do with sonic hogging the limelight and always insulting tails with words like pixel brain. Also sonic is always doubting tails and proving he is always the best. Could this be undermining tails and therefor causing tails to doubt himself more causing his lack of confidence in himself?

Wasn't there a Tails story where he was hypnotised into having more confidence? Lew must've thought Issue 100 was funny, because he included "Oi! Hedgehog! No!" in it. Ugh.
But at the end of the story Sonic says Tails is better as he is. I think that's pretty stupid. Tails sucks as he is.

Tails didn't really have much in the way of confidence to start with during the early strips where he was beanting everyone he met by way of those jammy flukes, always trying to say how Sonic would be the better person to deal with it.
But then again when he first appeared, he was just a little kid who had been thrusted into a bitter battle of good Vs evil, how else would he react to it?
As time developed and he went past that phase, he did gain more in the way in confidence, but Sonic always rubbed off on me as being rather "stuck in his ways" when regarding the other freedom fighters. To him, Tails is always the childsh "pixel brain" who needs to be rescued every now and then, Amy is still the annoying girl who wants to snog him at any oppertunity.
I think Tails himself has now gotten to a position where he is a confident person, but Sonic is "stifiling him" in a few ways, although he remains modest about it. Tails was the one who finally destroyed the Knuckles Metallix after Sonic spent ages fighting him, but he agreed to keep that technicality secret for Sonic as not to undermine the hedgehog's "heroism." (in the same way as Amy in the past)
I personally get the feeling that Tails is maybe getting a little annoyed about Sonic's attitude about him, with Tails having to point out that "he's tougher than people think." (he did so after Super Sonic attacked him, and I think he's pointed it out before that as well.)

Tails is a strong fighter but I feel sonic underestimates him a bit too much. More solo adventures is what he needs out of sonics shadow.
On the other hand sonic did save his life numerous times (most famous being their first encounter) and tails will look up to sonic as the big brother he never had.

Tails first lost confidence back in his hometown when he was bullied by the other foxes. Guess he never got it back.
Off topic but how exactly does Tails fly? I mean, he if twirled his tails around, they'd soon get tangled, right? Someone get back to me please!

he can defiy the law of pysics
after thinking for a long time about the idea I can't work it out
maybe he can move then so fast he can twirl them and untangle them without anyone noticing but hense why he gets worn out or maybe he has magical powers
or some how his two tails can movearound each other in a srange way I can't relly expalin but I think I know what I mean

*with the wink of an eye and a poke on the nose*
It just might be.
But then again, it probably won't. So, I'll just sit here and wonder for many more nights.

Speaking of which, back to playing Sonic Battle which ties in with the topic when I say that Tails is still whining. He's grown up plenty but he still needs Sonic even if he's going into the next bleeding city. I've always liked Tails much more than Sonic but it should be about time ol' Tails showed Sonic a thing or two.

i've said it before and i'll say it again. A rift should form between them tails has grown too much to be a sidekick.
Something reminiscent of batman nightwing

Tails was hypnotised to be more cool not more confident, and look how that backfired!! Nah, I think Tails has more confidence than he lets us believe...or rather the writers believe!! lol!!  Nah, sorry. What I mean to say is, we all think hes a shy sidekick as hes portrayed that way in Archie and STC. When in fact in th games he has a lot of guts for a small fox! Not only does he fly himself, the Xtornado and the cute little plan in the games and STC, he can defend himself as well as the other freedom fighters can. That fox doesnt have low confidence at all in my opinion! ;D Oh yeh, and theres no way he can nick the limelight from Sonic. That wayhe wouldnt be the main hero, now would he?? |

I kinda liked it. Well I guess Knux being alone on that island for so long meant he could develop such skills as hunting for stuff.

hermit?! Knuckles the hermit! soz that just makes me laugh!  Hey, someone mentioned a language for Mobius? Surely the language of the echindnas was the original mobian language? (Remember Knuckles examining scrolls tryin to fix the islands gadgets) |

Hey yeah, don't think I've ever seen anyone properly write something in modern-day Mobius. Maybe they still use that language and it's nicely translated into English for us. But then how did they interact with Earth?? Aggh i'm losing it!  |
