wow should have seen this coming... we need more reptile characters... anyways wasnt captain behemoth or whatever his name was from secret rings more like a sting ray looking thing ?
But isn't a stingray a fish?
well.. sharks, skates and rays are all cartilaginous(sp) fish belonging to the order of Chondricthyes so yeah they are indeed fish, but someone said they were jelly fish so yeah biology class dismissed.

2.) Tails, but no Blaze.
That's definitely a good thing. Blaze's game was nothing but a carbon-copy of Sonic's with the same levels in different order and slightly remixed music.

I'd rather they tone the speed down a little, focus a little more on platforming and level exploration.
Go play Super Paper Mario.
The fact that a sequel to Rush is in the works fills me with hope. However, the fact that it's being developmed by SEGA Studios and not Dimps, concerns me.
Its probally going to be like how Disney tried to make Toy Story 3 without Pixar because of their little spat and both tried to part ways...
Hopefully the same resolution will happen here.
But don't count on it.
So, the ones who made the last game are not making this one? Hmmmmmm... now I'm concerned.
~teehee~
One eyelash per eye means younger.
Is that a raccoon?
Ayup, it certainly is.
I call fake =p
I call her a hybrid...and DARNIT, why do we need another new character so the fans may create another 50,000 fan characters...
WTH IS THAT THING?!! Great, just what we need. ANOTHER new character, and it's a youth that looks to be about the age of Cream. SEGA ST0P GIVING US NEW !@#$ING CHARACTERS IN OUR SONIC GAMES!!! WE DON'T NEED THEM!!
My GOD! We got too many already! I mean what? They couldn't use Mighty or Ray or Bean or Bark or any number of chracters that have only been seen once? What the hell man?! Now I'm seriously pissed. FTS!!
...
...I like it. o.o
Shigamado, I think you need a break. A nice, long break. o_o

It was obvious that sega would come up with more characters otherwise they'd run of characters for the monthly sonic.sega.jp wallpaper/calender updates.
hmm =/

Raccoons are back in fashion, especially those with statue changing abilities 😀
That's a cool looking... uh well whatever it is. I'm also glad to see Blaze again. It wouldn't be a sequel to Rush without her.
She's a raccoon, and I find it odd that people seem ao surprised that there's a new character added for a new game. This has pretty much been the pattern for oven ten years now...
She's probably Blaze's version of Tails from the future/alternate dimenson/both/gigantic plothole, especially with both of them being based on mythological animals, which is almost certainly intentional. Normally I'd be no not more characters, but I like her more than Cream and she seems to fit well enough that I don't mind.
In fact I like her design enough that I wouldn't mind seeing her around more. But NEVER put Shadow or Silver in the games again please.
If 2-character teams are going to become a theme, I want Knuckles + Rouge and Vector + Espio teams too. The other characters I don't particularly care about.
It shouldn't be surprising but it still boggles the mind.
Musings at The GHZ say it's a hoax for a variety of reasons (Blaze isn't blurry while the rest of the image is, image source is from a fansite, there still being a white splotch between the new girl's arm which the purported hoaxer forgot to remove, etc.). Thus, if you are against this design with an undivided and unparalleled furor, then you may not have much to worry 'bout.
I thought it was a white skarf attached to her shirt.
Oh schick. Had no idea this was a real game. Makes me really want a DS again. Wish I hadn't lost it. Blaze is back? WTF!? Pirates this time? WTF!? New character...again?! Expected. I don't even think i'm going to follow this game...I can't get it so i'm staying away from this topic. Mainly because Sonic Rush owned all and this game will too. But I can't play it on anything. Waaaa! Waaaa! *weeps in a corner* I honestly thought this was a fan-proposed game or something going by the title: Sonic Rush[good here...expecting a number like 2 or something] Adventure[WTF?!]

fixed As has been stated before, a new character(s)has been introduced in about every Sonic game made. Sonic 2: Tails; SCD: Amy and Metal; Sonic Arcade: Mighty and Ray; S3&K: Knux and Egg Robo; SA: Big, Tikal, Pachacamac, Gamma, Chaos, chao, and the other E-100 series robots; and the list goes on.
Anyway, in regards to the raccoon girl, I think she does look a little too close to Tails and Cream, but at least she is an animal that has not been used before instead of making another hedgie, etc.

I think people thought the new character would be the pirate villian.
I sure did. =(
EDIT: Also this reeks of a hoax too. And honestly, who the hell actually willingly ask for more new characters--especially heroes in this franchise? "Please Sonic Team, we don't have enough characters, PWEASE ADD MOAR!!!!111!!"
I'm thinking the raccoon chick is the Buttercup to Cream's Bubbles.
Okay, I've taken my ritalen and I'm calmer now.
I'm hoping this is a hoax as some have stated, but if it is, it's well drawn and follows in Sega's pattern of Sonic characters to fool me. I guess I shouldn't be so upset. Blaze was a new character, and I thought she was cool. But, I'm sick of little kid characters put in just for cuteness. I can't stand Cream, and this Raccoon girl looks no better.
I should at least be glad that Blaze is back in.
Oh, and for the record, neither Sonic Rivals or Sonic and the Secret Rings had new playable characters. (Cutscene story characters don't count.)
Cut scene characters don't count? Oh schnap, someone better tell Amy and Metal they don't count in Sonic CD then.
Point goes to Gyser.
So those the raccoon girl has name?
Edit- Some people are saying she a red panda and not a raccoon. At looking at the red panda pics they might be right.
I get reminded of Ray the Squirrel looking at that new critter. If it's real, it proves Sega really is running dry on ideas. They'd be better off resorting to using fan characters.
I'm sorry ... not only does the character not fit into the Sonic world, but it looks absolutely retarded.
I think I am officially done with Sonic Team.

Despite those musings, she's not a hoax.
Proof?

Hm, I didn't see that, but I'd actually be surprised if it wasn't a hoax, after the introduction of Cream.

The Sonic Stadium posted the banner last night upon finding the image, but has since removed it on Sega's request. The image was curiously leaked somehow from the European offices and had yet to be approved by the Japanese branch. We apologise to our readers for stripping our content, but in return Sega will exclusively reveal details of the brand new raccoon character when they are ready to surface.
There you go. The character is confirm to be real.
You mean Sonic Stadium as in "Knuckles solo game CONFIRMED, SatAM movie CONFIRMED, Sonic MMORPG CONFIRMED?" Sonic Stadium? Okay.
Awww...nut bunnies.
So does this mean Deus is officially turning over his Sonic badge, for real?
Looks like. I can't say as I necessarily blame him.
I'm going to keep looking at it with a grain of sodium chloride, however.
At least the design isn't as terrible as Silver. I mean I'm sure Amy could have fit the raccoon/red panda's role, depending on whatever it is but oh well. I just don't want another character similar to Cream. Or maybe we'll be lucky and she'll turn out to be a character who appears to be on Sonic's side but turns on him...
A character designed to infultrate Sonic's ranks as the next Cream like character but is in actuallity evil and the entire SRA game is designed to gain her trust so she can report back to Eggman...all leading up to a future game where she openly betrays everyone and she comes back in an evil leather outfit and a slightly psycotic personallity! All leading up to a big fight where...suprise! She's a robot! They don't have a DBZ saga like that, do they?
Who knows...maybe it will be revealed that it was Cream all along that was the secret psycotic undercover agent! If that's true she maybe the best actress ever and her popularity points would shoot up to the roof! =O
(We have to be careful what we say, SEGA might have spies in every Sonic message board, looking for ideas...and when that fact is revealed true then it becomes a Salem witch hunt)

Has that ever happened before?
Sounds like a pretty good plot twist that could happen. And also I didn't think silver was too bad of a character. Sure he was somewhat of a dork. Well thinking back upon sonic 2k6 they could have left him out entirely and it wouldn't have affected a huge amount of it.
I believe the Archie series did that alot.
Well I meant in the games.
Not yet I guess. It was always the other way around.

Hell no! I've got too many memories with the guy, I can't throw him away.
I just mean I'm done with loving and caring for Sonic Team like I use to. Once they were a game development group that I looked up to, and now ....

Which is more than we can say for Sonic Team!
I don't think the new girl will really be similar to Cream....she looks a little more brave and adventurous. Maybe there'll be scenes of her saying "Come on, hurry up Blaze! Let's go, Let's go on an adventure!" and Blaze saying "No, I've told you before, you're too young", etc....
Thant kind of character.
