During Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Eggman’s Q&A session on Twitter yesterday, a fan asked why the mad scientist isn’t a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Eggman responded by saying he’s “far too powerful” and that he’s “impossible to unlock” because he claims to be an S-tier character. You can hear his answer in the video below. This was part of a lighthearted marketing scheme by Sega in which Sonic and Eggman joined forces to answer fans’ pressing questions.

Lol amazing response. Is it really the real voice actor though?
I just check, it is the real VA.
yes
So fucking late! XD
no
Sonic twitter is best twitter.
the real reason is likely just Sakurai only wanting 1 playable Sonic character. this reason however is perfect in every way.
Exactly. XD
they had to make it funny is some way though.
Haha, great response. Maybe we’ll get to see him in the next Smash.
Gotta love Mike Pollock.
Clever
he’s not that powerful in some sonic games, all he does is created machines and gadgets and robots.
He’s actually an unlockable character, but he’s impossible to unlock. If you did manage to unlock him, he’ll be an S tier character.
I dunno. I bet he’s not in because he’s third party and we shouldn’t have more than one character from any third party series (save him for Nintendo Vs Sega or something).
That said, if he were in Smash, I could see him piloting his pod a la Bowser Jr. and have the abilities and play style (but not uselessness) of Olimar or, if you know Skullgirls, Robo Fortune.
We have two Sega and Capcom characters, though.
Not from the same third party series. Tho PacMan pretty much wrapped up Namco and it’s history with extras here and there like items to do that too. Sega and Capcom doesn’t have a character like that.
Excuse me? Olimar is not useless!
Yet Capcom got both Mega Man and Ryu.
Sega got Bayonetta so it’s a fair trade including Namco with Pacman since he’s an walking ad for the company which he represents Namco’s entire history. So…
There’s always room for him in Project Sonic (a Project M-like mod featuring Sonic characters).
Yes Capcom got Mega Man and Ryu but that’s different than having Mega Man and Dr. Wily or Ryu and Ken… Plus isn’t one from Capcom and the other like Capcom USA or something slightly different?(not that it matters ’cause I think Sakurai wanted Ryu himself)
Eggman SHOULD have been the second Sega character in Smash, but NOOOOOO we get Bayonetta instead
Not at all. That would be unfair to give a third party series another character. It should be kept at one and one alone to keep it limited and fair no matter how iconic in the same series. Dr. Eggman could be a boss or whatever. Plus Bayonetta is a tons more interesting character and that is fact.
Actually, that honor belongs to NiGHTS. If Eggman got in, it’d be more Sonic rep than SEGA rep. Use your head. But based on that logic, it should’ve been Roll or Proto Man instead of Ryu, or Ms. Pac-Man instead of Klonoa or Lloyd.
