Sonic The Hedgehog, often referred to as just Sonic in game, is the main protagonist of the series. As such, he is playable in Sonic Fighters with a moveset that was intended for beginners.
== Backstory ==
A blue hedgehog that was born on Christmas Island with the abnormal ability to run at supersonic speeds. Due to his love for adventure, he left his home at one point, searching for another adventure to venture on. At some point, Sonic met up with Dr. Eggman (Then known as Dr. Robotnik), who was attempting his first scheme in using little animals to power his army of badniks, in which Sonic stopped and made sure the Chaos Emeralds was out of the evil doctor's grasp. Since then, Sonic has been through countless adventures, finding various friends, and enemies.
Sonic holds an intense sense of justice and adventure. He loves running and moving, often disliking stopping. He also holds an intense love for kindness, often trying to help out anyone in need, even to the point of risking his life for the safety and happiness of others. There may be times were he loses his cool in events of injustice or unnecessary violence, but he always has a happy side.
== Gameplay ==
Due to Sonic being the main character of the game, he is an easy to learn character. He is a jack of all trades, being able to handle most situations, however, not particularly exceeding in one. (besides speed)
Sonic's biggest strength is his speed, being able to move the quickest out of all of the characters in the game. Sonic arguably has the best mixup game out of the whole cast, being able to quickly confuse the opponent or pressure them to make a mistake. He also has a lot of tools to deal with various situations.
Some of his weaknesses include average health, his sub-par damage, and some of his moves having considerable cooldown.
