Sega admits Sonic is falling

[Yoder]

As an aside, those of who who say Sonic is ripping off Link need to take a look at what Link ripped off of. If you trace medieval roots back farenough you will come to D&D, Tolkien, and Arthurian legend. It would seem that Link is really the one copying.

You sir need to look at why people are saying they are coping Link, yeah what Link does isn't original in everything he does but he hasn't taken all his game ideas from another series doing the SAME game ideas. Sonic to myself is doing this, yes the idea could be from another game but some Sonic games have had same elements as an other series.

And really the people are taking too much offense, which Yoder you have just proved. Calm down, some of the communitee thinks yeah and others thinks no and both have there reasons, you shouldn't act so "What not MY SONIC, he would never do a thing like that" .

If you would actually take a look back at those 3 sources I listed (D&D, Tolkien, and Arthurian legend), you will find that Link took plenty from them. Also, Sonic is doing nothing like Link. Link turned into an actual wolf, Sonic is turning into a werehog. Sure Link and Sonic will both be using swords, but how they are using them is completely different. Just because they both use swords to defeat enemies doesn't make them identical. That's like saying Mario and Sonic are the same, because they both jump on enemies to defeat them.

Nothing I have said was any bit un-calm, and I have taken no offense at anyody's words (unless they have insulted Sonic without due cause). I'm not acting that way, so please take your assumptions out of this discussion. If you truly think your assumptions have any basis, please show me.

Yeah the homing feature in Secret Rings could have been better as it often targeted the wrong enemy (or didn't target at all).
