Nack the Weasel is a better name than Fang the Sniper...

Nack the Weasel is a better name than Fang the Sniper. Fang is too tryhard and it's dumb to have him described by his occupation than his species.

Also, weasel is a fucking lot less stupid than some rat-wolf combination.

Counter-argument: Nack is a dumb fucking name.

Counter-counter: It's better and has more character than Fang.

Who cares. Both work in their own way and he should be brought back wholeheartedly as a character. Preferably in a Sonic the Fighter 2.

DID SOMEBODY SAY KNACK

it makes more sense for him to go by the guise of Fang though. If he's a criminal, it'd be smart to use a fake name and not his real one

...Good point. I guess that wanted poster is the best route.

Maybe his name could even be a sore spot for him. Like calling a guy who tries to call himself Killer Louis.

KNACK 2 BABY

Nack is the name of that nerdy kid who snorts and pushes his glasses up everytime he talks.

Fang sounds badass.

Fuck off

>Fang sounds badass.
If you're a middle schooler maybe. Nack is the perfect name for a greedy thug.

>All of the main classic Sonic characters are named after their defining traits
>Sonic because he's fucking fast
>Tails because he's a fucking mutant
>Knuckles because fucking nigger hands
>Eggman because he's fucking fat
>Rosy because she's fucking pink
>But no, let's call Fang Nack because despite his GIANT FUCKING FANG Nack somehow sounds better
Miss me OP

He's a thief. He's Nack, and he nicks things. A nick-Nack.

Fang the Weasel.

Think about it though.
>Tails
>bodypart

Knuckles
>bodypart

>Fang
>bodypart

This.

They shoulda made him a kangaroo. And a boomerang would be more kid-friendly.

what bodypart is "sonic"

don't they teach you kids anything in school

>vector because he has a multidirectional dash
>espio because he can change colors
>mighty because he's fast
>charmy because he's annoying

Main character is exempt. "Goku" isn't a vegetable.

The Sonic Hedgehog is a protein in mammalian signalling pathways that plays a key role in vertebrate organogenesis

Yeah but his real his is kakarrot

WROOOOOOOONG!
AND BACK OFF, HE'S MINE

why have there been so many threads about this literally who recently

because he's terrific

Some dedicated Fangfag

We live in a world where Nack has appeared in a game more recently then Blaze

He had a cameo in Sonic Mania.

Bean and Bark did too but they're not cool.

Bark's a polar bear, he's cool by default.

What does Fangfag think of his nonexistent sister?

Archie Sonic was a mistake

Not Fangfag but I liked her name but hated her design and the fact that she existed.

We;ve already got Rouge, we don't need more Sonic characters with tits.

>Marine the Raccoon
>Sticks the Badger
>Blaze the Cat
>Whatever those birds were
That rule is long since dead, user.

Ian also disliked her, when he took helm she stopped showing up except in flashbacks where she already was there. I think Nack killed her or something.

>Classic Sonic Characters
>Classic Sonic
>Classic

If he's a polar bear, then why is he blonde and not white?

Also his sprite looks like shit in Mania.

Marine makes boats and lives on an island and has water powers
blaze has fire powers
sticks lives in the sticks, as in she's just barely not homelss, she lives in like a mud hut and uses boomerangs

polar bear hair is transparent, it looks white because the ice around it is white

>Fang The Sniper dies in Sonic Mania and one of the Hard Boiled Heavies wears his skin throughout the remainder of the game

>If Sonic's a hedgehog, then why is he blue and not brown?

His sprite does look pretty bad in Mania though. Noodle limbs didn't do him justice.

Fang and Bean are both super cute. Bark's alright.

Why don't more people appreciate Nacks game as the masterpiece it really is?

He's Alex from SF's fursona.

More like Sanman's fursona from FV, like how Honey is her own from that game and Sonic is Jacky's from VF.

Bark isn't a polar bear. He's just a big, fat Sonic wearing a scarf. Such a shit design, If he ever appears again I want to see a radical redesign to make him more bear-like.

he's as much of a bear as sonic is of a hedgehog

>Sonic is Jacky's from VF.
delete this

he's fine
he looks big and fluffy and for a classic sonic character that's enough

>Fang is too tryhard
That's the whole point. He hops around like a retard firing off cork guns and his first appearance involves blowing himself up because of his own stupidity. He's a comedy character, therefore it's funny to have a tryhard character with an edgy name who is really just a joke.

Archiefags, your comic is dead. Move on.

nobody owned a game gear

Kakarot

This was the one time conehead Robotnik appeared on a mainline game's box, right?

Fang:
>sounds cool
>refers to his giant fang
Nack:
>sounds retarded
>refers to ???

the Sniper:
>he isn't even a sniper, he fires corks at medium range from a handgun
>goes against the naming convention of just about every other character
>sounds cool at least
the Weasel:
>he looks nothing like a weasel, he's clearly a wolf
>at least describes what animal he ostensibly is though

I'd say overall Fang the Sniper is better though they both have their downsides. If I was in charge at Sega and was bringing him back I'd honestly just have him be called "Fang the Wolf" and throw in references to his old names, like some characters referring to him with his "Sniper" epithet, mentions of how Fang might not be his real name, etc.

Honey the Cat
Your move user.

YEAH YOU LIKE THAT NACK YOU LITTLE BITCHHH

>Sonic Mania 2 comes out
>He's a playable character
>Setting the language to Japanese sets his name to Fang while setting it to English sets it to Nack

also on spinball

>first appearance: Sonic the Fighters (2012)

>is in the data for the original sonic the fighters

Why are so many people getting bent up over this the last few weeks?

>Classic Sonic Characters
Honey's not a Sonic character, she's a guest.

>dummied out data is canon

Aw, I'm just joshin' ya. But Honey does stand out from other characters due to her origins.

Mean Bean Machine, but that's to be expected.

Also, Nack is a great design. He looks more sleek, almost Tex Avery-like than other Sonic characters. I wish he'd make an official comeback.

She's named after the VF fighter. Her defining trait is that she's literally Honey as a cat.

Whoops, didn't see mainline.

Is TT mainline anymore? Or did it get Lizuka'd?

Iizuka said the Game Gear games are an alternate timeline

wait wtf his name is actually fang the sniper?
was Australian snipers with those hats already a trope or something or is this just an odd coincidence?

Figured as much, what a fucking cocksucker.

You joke but the comic made that exact joke by giving him a sister named Nic.

He was originally a jerboa before translation issues turned him into a wolf-weasel.

>Bean the Dynamite
>Bark the Polar Bear

You could also argue that her name is Honey because of her bright yellow fur, though that's reaching.
>citation needed

yeah. Bean's a Dynamite Dux, in the sense that Dynamite Duck is a fictional kind of duck.

What a piece of work.

At least he's still canon through Sonic the Fighters.

...

And what does that have to do with beans?

>MAIN classic Sonic characters
Bean because he's fucking green
You got me at Bark though.

I'm trying to find it, it was in one of those interviews recently, I think a Mania one? They had a bunch but I went on a media black out to avoid spoilers.

You completely missed the point of the character and his name, which is surprising considering he's such a simple character.

hes a beanhead

I loved her creepy attitude towards tails throughout the comic

They're all woodpeckers actually

He's a bean guy.

Bin and Pin are definitely ducks, but yeah apparently Bean's a fucking woodpecker.

well if you go by comic canon Bark never fucking talks or anything like that
so it could be one of those ironic names where they call someone by the opposite of their defining trait
like how some tall people have Shorty as a nickname, or huge muscleguys sometimes called shit like Tiny

...

He's not described as a thief, he's a treasure hunter. The Chaos Emeralds don't really belong to any specific person. Also the term nick-nack doesn't have anything to do with thievery.

I wonder if this too is a FV reference. In the first game Honey's dating Picky who's 2 years younger than her.

is tails gay or something?

Not a weasel.

>Bin and Pin are definitely ducks
Wrong

Explain

The Dynamite Dux means The Dynamite Duo, referring to that there are Bin and Pin who are two people, also woodpeckers. Bean is one guy so he's just Bean the Dynamite.

>thief
>not treasure hunter
locke from ffvi get out of here

and the word nack natrually goes with the word nick.

But fine if you want to get TECHINCAL, Nack means "to acknowledge negatively" which mean's he's just a mean guy.

no, he's 8 and she's like twice that

At no point is it ever said they're ducks, Americans just assume that because they think "Düx" is supposed to sound like "ducks." But the umlaut makes it sounds like "deux" with a non-silent x, as in the French word for two. Because there's two of them. Then Bean was stated to be a woodpecker and Bin's son, which confirms they're all woodpeckers.

Bark is supposedly a really peaceful snowboarder living in North Island. He's also a polar bear. Who knows what the name "Bark" is supposed to come from? "Bean" doesn't seem to mean anything either. There's also "Honey" the Cat from the same game. I don't think the StF team really gave it that much thought.

and?

Counter-counter-counter: Characters in Sonic are named after prevalent physical traits. Sonic is fast, Tails has tails, Knuckles has weird fist-barbs...

Fang has a Fang. Nack isn't a fucking thing.
