If I was nasty I would mention something about a brilliantly original post from Ed, but im not so ill just stand here and gets slapped by Ed for talking the last 30 secs...
*Promply Slapped*
Anyway, im not sure about a battle adaption, its storyline was based a lot round its type of gameplay, a very hard thing to do, besides as I understand Ed and the rest must have huge storylines already drawn up.

Retro: I don't get the nasty comment? Anyway, there's a much simpler reason why it won't get adapted: I haven't played it. And judging by Madhair's rather comprehensive review, I doubt I ever will either. But STC didn't adapt a lot of games so I don't feel like we're committing any great betrayal of the STC fan masses. Personally, I'd much rather look at some other STC plot threads that have been forgotten like Chaotix, Morain, Ebony, Captain Plunder or whoever else.
(That said, there will be a couple of major battles before the year is out, rest assured).

The storyline in Sonic Battle was very hard to follow, seeing as how you have to piece every players story together. With Sonic Adventure 2, you would only have to put 2 together. With Sonic Battle there's about 9.

Does that mean, no Emerl then?
You could dump the Plot yeah, but fitting him into the STC universe might be intresting in the future...

STC always adapted the main series of sonic games but not the lesser aditional games (unless you count Nack being added from Triple trouble) After all, there was never an adaptation of Sonic spin-ball was there. |

There was a sort of Adaption of Spin-ball, It was an Issue where Tails tries to take on Robotnik without Sonic, gets captured (  ) and Sonic comes to rescue him and gets trapped on a giant pinball machine. |

I think Emerl would actually make a very interesting character in StC. He'd be really easy to write in, too.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. I don't even know who/what Emerl is...
In any event, I think we've had enough new characters from the games recently. Not that Big is exactly 'recent', but in STC terms he's was only introduced eight original issues ago.
Oh, and the Mark Millar story wasn't a Spinball adaptation, I don't think, just a story set in the Casino Night Zone. Nigel did mention the Veg-O-Fortress once or twice though (around "The Sonic Terminator").

And I don't see why having a couple more Characters from the games would hurt, at least sometime in the future. Emerl could get into the comic if something like him was needed. And I'd rather have him then a Lew Stringer type one shot.  |

Emerl would actually be a good inclusion. What would really spice things up (IMO) would be if Nack found him!

That would be very interesting, but very like the rouge story from battle,but again as Ed has said, he is clueless about Emerl. Just like im clueless about any method of avoiding pain. *Sees banana peel* Ah who thinks thats gonna happen, that only happens in cartoons! *Slips on banana peel and his head lands in a blender strategicilly placed by the masked boomer* |

i thinks emerl would be a great character to include as he has alot of potential.
1) he's a robot who can absorb all kinds of different abilities/weapons, which he can use in any way he (emerl) feels.
2) depending on who finds him, emerl can either be the most evil badguy ever, or someone who is the best goodguy ever.
imagine if he was found by the syndacate, he would be evil, as he learns from the people around him.
also as he can absorb different abilities and weapons, he could have a death laser like the one from the death egg combined with the speed and abilities of sonic.
also, as emerl learns different peoples attacks, he would then know how to make those attacks useless against him, if he knew all of knuckles attacks, he would be able to use them agianst knuckles, and stop knuckles from even touching him.
potentially Emerl can be whatever the creators/writers of the comic want him to be depending on who emerl learns from.
he could have the cruelty of the metallix, the strenght and speed of sonic and knuckles, and the brains of grimer.
it makes him a lot more dangerous than any other characters in the comic, and it doesn't even matter how he's found or created as long as he still has the ability to learn, which is why emerl has more potential to be any character you want him to be. he doen't need to speak, and he's a very very dangerous weapon.
enough chat. bye bye.

The Mark Millar story was written before Sonic Spinball had even been released! Been a while since I read that Issue. And its as close as you'll ever get to Spin-ball anyway. On Emerl I do think he has some good potential, you could have him be an old discovery by Kintobor. A weapon from another dimension. Or perhaps you could link him to the ancient Echidnas/Drakons war. Emerl is suppossed to be the ultimate lifeform like Shadow. So maybe theres some link that could be made. He's pretty much a flexible concept.. |

I think it terms of these "lesser" sonic games the best course of action is to not do adaptations but maybe throw in a few refrence to things in them now and again (ala, refrences to Veg-o-fortress from spin ball)

The last fight in Sonic Battle proved that, where he was overloaded with too much fight data and had everyone's attacks and was faster than Sonic. BTW, that's probably the most intelligent thing I've seen a guest say. --Ray |
