Pft. The old Knuckles went faster than the current one.wariovswario wrote:^I didn't say he didn't. What I mean is controlling Knuckles has always been slow in games. I'd be sick of going that slow in an action stage like Sonics. His action stages would also be like Gex's or Spyro (uggh). That's why I think it's a perfect compliment for him to keep treasure hunting.
Furthermore, it's a matter of programming. Knuckles is not perma-slowed, he was just made slower so he could manuever better for treasure hunting.
I doubt they'd bring that back, anyway. That stuff hangs dangerously over as a discredited gameplay style for Sonic stuff.
