Let it be said that if Bleach comes to the States, or if Tekken comes to PSP, I am buying a PSP. End of story.

New info on blaze http://www.g-freaks.de/index.php&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dg-freaks.de%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26rls%3DRNWE,RNWE:2005-32,RNWE:e n">here. Sorry for the grammer mistakes the site was originally in german. The info is toward the bottom of the page entitled detail to segas sonic rush. It includes new screens, her age, height, etc.

The Robot King

That's the front page. Try linking to the ARTICLE. Like http://www.g-freaks.de/Kolumnen/KolumnenInterviewSega.php&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dg-freaks.de%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26rls%3DRNWE,RNWE:2005-32,RNWE:e n">this.

Her personality sounds a lot like Knuckles, actually.

She's the first female character who is not portrayed as a cutie or as a seductress.

I love cats so I'm excited for this game and this character.

Well, unless you can read german I couldn't link to the translated page of the actual article. Its not like its hard to find anyway.

The Robot King

er....Metal King? my filter won't let me see it. can you post what it says?

Okay, here goes:

a new character reveals

Blaze takes its role as a defender of the Sol Emeralds very seriously. Sometimes perhaps even too ernst

badly translated but you get the picture.
The link is followed by dozens of pictures of Blaze in action on 3D stages...

Well...my fire theory was right. Whoo. She seems like a female crossover of Shadow and Knux. I still don't like her at all. Does everyone else think her outfit and colourscheme in general are the worst so far?

thanx Swift.

can someone post the screens here?

Is it me, or have none of you actually linked to the correct page? I can find no profile for Blaze nor the pics you're talking about =/

Found the right link;
www.g-freaks.de/News/scar...w_news=467

So she's essentially the early Knuckles. But a girl. And a cat. With fire powers. Hmm...

So she does have fire powers! Neato, just like I wanted her to! ^^
Her description sounds a lot like Knuckles'.. wonder if the Sol Emeralds will get shattered in a later game? XD
And she might have gone with Sonic to school? XDD Now that's both amusing and interesting if it were true! =D

Older: 14 (probably went with Sonic to the school!)

Lies. All lies. I have Sonic's Schoolhouse and I have seen neither hide nor hair of any Blaze the Cat.

That and she REALLY looks too old to be 14, in all honesty. Heck, those eyes make her look, like, 20 or something.

She went to school in Sonic's dimension? Or.. Sonic went to school in Blaze's dimension?

..Wait - Sonic went to school?..

You're not supposed to take the words in paranthesis seriously. o_O

Yeah, I'm sorry, you shouldn't take me seriously, either ^^; I know it's not official, that part. I'm just poor at making it apparent it's not a serious comment on it. Because you know, they couldn't actually go to school together anyway, so.. the joke kind of falls through.
Um.. that's my momma! Eheheheh...

Anyway, I wonder if Blaze will actually have any abilities concerning her power of control over flame in the game itself. It'd seem like a waste if not. I'm guessing she may have a flame-based attack in place of Sonic's somersault or somesuch.

Well, according to this picture, Blaze can use her fire powers to fly, glide, or something. Also, I believe she'll be able to throw fire balls for her B button move like how Knux punches, Tails does a tail whip, etc.

Also note that her full-speed-dash move is fire-coloured, but porbably won't be any different to Sonic's.

Nintendo Now was at a expo called the Penny Arcade Expo where they video taped some games...including Sonic Rush. nothing really new:

nintendonow.e-mpire.com/m...98a7e77825

not a very good player....but atleast we see what happens when you finish a level and die.

I second the opinion that Blaze's look is crummy. That outfit is horrible...but the fire powers sound interesting, though sort of godlike...

Ahhh, the advantage of 2Dness...
It doesnt matter that her design is crummy, we're lucky that Sonic, Tails and Knuckles designs translate well for 3D since they were designed for 2D...

They had to redesign Amy as her old design was crummy for 3D...

I dont think it's THAT bad, and it'll look even not-worce (notice I didnt say better) in motion on 2D side scrolling when you wont be able to make it out properly

Craig Bayfield you are wrong.
That Stylus is not meant for every single screen! I have a DS and it can not work on the top screen. A stylus is used for touch screens. The DS has more advanced technology than the touch screen on PC because the DS is smaller and the screen information is sent no matter what screen you're using. Besides you're only presing icons on the PC with your hand or a stylus.

1) Stop replying to month-old-posts; reply to the more recent ones.
2) When you DO reply to month-old-posts, try not putting words into people's mouths. Craig never said the stylus works on both screens.

I actually think Sonic Rush has the highest technolgy ever featured on a Sonic game. I saw a video clip in www.sega.com and everytime Sonic is running downways, he is being transfered from the top screen to the touch screen at the same speed that Sonic is running. The annoying part was whenever Sonic does a trick, he says "yeah!" you'll here this a lot and it my get stuck on your mind. They didn't show Blaze in action because it'll spoil the game on people who want to know what Blaze does. The game won't be spoiled if they show Blaze in the box scan. Just like SA2, in the video clip they didn't show Cream in action because it would spoil it. Sonic Rush will be great if it doesn't gets based on one of the old Sonic games. I say this because Sonic Advance's character ending scene is based on the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 ending.

Developer interview:

www.gamespot.com/ds/actio...091205.asx

a bit more info. it seems that there will be only 7 Zones again, but the fact that Blaze will play different areas will sorta make it like 14.

also, it seems that Sonic has to convince Blaze to work with him. that basically comfirms her being a Shadow/Knux type person. also, it's been confirmed that she can hover.

also, TGS will have a new demo that will allow ppl to play as Blaze.

Wrong topic. 😛

fixed it.

thanx.

UPDATE:

sonic.sega.jp/rush/

Sonic's profile is up (fourth link at the top). Tails makes an appearance!

EDIT:

another scene with Tails and the level select map?:

media.ds.ign.com/media/68...79364.html

seems that Tails might be your "Omochao" in this game?

also, here's a hands-on preview:

ds.ign.com/articles/651/651581p1.html

Wow so much stuff. Tails is 3D, cool. I can't wait until this comes out, I just gotta all the stuff in it.

Zone 2's name is Water Palace, huh? Must be that greek-looking zone in some of the screenshots. I hope it's a water level on par with Labyrinth zone and Hydrocity. Recently there haven't been many challenging water levels... you could always avoid the water sections. Either that or they were very short.

Looks like the zone order goes Forest, Ocean Palace, Desert, Casino, Mountain, and some sort of Prairie...

I wonder if Tails is going to be Blaze's "Omochao" as well?

maybe an alternate Tails would help her out.

anyway. zone 1 is called Leaf Storm from what i've seen in a video.

I wonder how long it'll be before people replace one of the characters' models with Tails'?...

It looks like the sol emeralds are the same shape as the chaos emeralds. Unless it's already been posted, this page shows a new video of Sonic fighting a boss in the desert stage. Also shows Blaze in gameplay.

i'm starting to guess that Sonic will be going after the Chaos Emeralds and Blaze is going after the Sol Emeralds.

No, janu, they've said from the beginning that both Sonic and Blaze will be going after the Sol Emeralds. Besides, the Time Stones look like Chaos Emeralds in the "Time Stones" screen, so, why do the Sol Emeralds have to look different? Also, I wonder if the Sol Emeralds have a Leader Emerald or something like the CE's have the ME?

Yeah, the Sol Emeralds could have a ME type object, maybe a "Luna Emerald" or something, and that would totally eclipse the Sol Emeralds' power.

Heh, pretty nice name for it, Rob. Luna does sound better, I mean the opposite of chaos is control and a master controls things, and Luna, meaning moon, is the opposite of Sol, Spanish for sun. Rob, I bet Sega will call it the Luna Emerald, heh, nice going.

Plus Sol is the name of our Sun anyway...

i'm just basing it on certain things i've heard, Super Razor. first, in a GS interview, the game director mentioned chaos emeralds (not sure if that was a mistake), after that, he mentioned the extra zone (not sure if that was by mistake or on purpose).

given the fact that so far all of the extra zones have dealt with Super Sonic and the fact that every time that they had other magical items, they never activated an extra zone (though the Sol Emeralds ARE emeralds), i'm making a simple guess that the Chaos Emeralds will also take a part in this game......unless Sonic transforms into something OTHER than Super Sonic.

i know that the earlier articles said that both were after the Sol Emeralds, but the Chaos Emerald thing came right out of the directors mouth...well the translator, but you get what i mean.

Yeah, I see what you mean, janu. I still say that they're both after the SE's, but the director could be saying that the CE's will play apart in the game. Don't Sonic and Blaze's dimensions merge every so often? Maybe when you in Sonic's uni you collect CE's and in Blaze's you collect SE's; heck, maybe, heaven forbid, the CE's and the SE'S merge to make Solar chaos emeralds or Chaotic Sol Emeralds or something. Another theory is that they may be connected like the CE's and Super Emeralds were.

Looks like Blaze's Omochao is Cream & Cheese. Finally, death to the annoying one!!

so i was right after all. Sonic goes after the chaos emeralds and Blaze goes after the sol emeralds. there shaped differently from the chaos emeralds like i thought.

also, if you click around on that site, you see:

-Story mode
-more levels
-Sonic on an air board.....i smell Riders.
-a G.U.N flying robot?!?!?! and a G.U.N base level?!?!?!
-SPECIAL STAGE!!! w00t!!!!

also, here are what some ppl have translated:

There's a screenshot of Blaze wondering where she is, and if she's discovered a new world.
EDIT: www.jeux-france.com/image...12471.html

Another Edit:

Tails: This is Zone 2!
It's the Water Palace!

Says something about "Eggman is located here, further more, that mysterious cat like girl"

It looks like Blaze is doing the zones in a different order to Sonic. Sweet.

yeah. and i she also does different sections of the levels according to an interview with the game director.

also, notice how the areas on her map look a tad different from Sonic's. for example, you see a pyramid in the desert section of her map while in Sonic's you don't.....then again, on Blazes map screen, you see that she's already done with those levels while Sonic isn't. maybe after you beat the zone, a figure appears. for example, when you beat the desert place, a pyramid appears there.

New artwork for Blaze...and the new enemy is a recolored Eggman:

With the old-school costume, apparently. >>

WaEggman?

It shows two Eggmans. The one to the right is the SA design.

An Eggman with a white mustache? Sweet. I thought they were gonna pull an Archie and made all machine. I wish some of his artwork already.
