He's hardly even that anymore. He's kind of a joke.

Shadow fell harder than Knuckles. His own game butchered the cool origin story he had prior to it on top of adding a ton of traits and out-of-character moments no one wanted to see or hear.

>kind of
He's become a full fledged meme after sonic boom.

He was the rival, he has a one on one fight in knuckles and sonic v knuckles has a special versus theme in sonic the fighters which I think is the only special theme in the game

He fell pretty hard too, but he still has dignity at least.

Came to post this, Cortex fell hard.

>>383757579
I still think Lex Lang is best Cortex voice though

Knuckles is rougher than the rest of them.

He is fucking his own ancestors.

He has no ass.

>but somehow he's fallen hard because he's gassier

I don't know if it's his fault or whoever is directing him, but he hasn't come even close to matching Clancy Brown.
And his voice is only one of the factors that have gotten worse.

Never came close to being as cool and interesting as he was in Super Star again.

Ukyo from Samurai Shodown
Most people even forget he was the original rival to Haohmaru before Genjuro came around

>>383754772
I wouldn't say he fell, he just became the series' Piccolo. Everyone loves Piccolo.

>>383765813
More like Yamcha.

>fallen

He was tricked by Eggman

He wasn't supposed to be Sonic's rival on purpose
