How about a Sonic AU where they're Rivals characters?

I'm gonna preface this by saying yes I know this anon I see you

But in all seriousness, this is a fun idea and we talked about multiple characters and how they would play. But so far I have only drawn Sonic

I tried to mimic the style the best I could with my art style and abilities. I wanted him to look like how he would be if he were actually redesigned for the game, Obviously his Ult gives him his golden superform but I didn't draw that

Now I do fear he may be a bit OP but I wanted him to be a high movement character for obvious reasons and I don't want his sprint to have a stamina bar but instead you'd be able to sprint the whole time BUT it is sonic games fast. I think that jerk around the map and the spindash charge more than make up for how powerful he seems. Someone playing sonic would have to balance his speed with the timing of his attacks.

He would be a squishy character, good for breaking past the frontline, taking down healers and dps, and sprinting back to safety

Alternate skins I'd choose to be available at launch would be Fleetway (for the alternate colorway they all have) and Prime, changing out his gloves and giving him that glitch effect he has in show as well as making him a more vibrant blue

Should I continue and draw the other characters I have figured out?
