A year ago we started the Battle of Ages creates thread over on Smashboards. Essentially a 'What if Super Smash Bros. was a SEGA game instead of a Nintendo one?' we've worked on a theoretical platform fighter starring Sega characters. This wiki was mostly edited by me to learn more about Sega characters for that game. So there we go!

Today, exactly one year later we added our final character to base. The game was decided through certain jobs such as 'submit a 80s character' with an emphasis on new series and less overabundance on just a few popular ones. The agreed rules were a roster of 36, 4 Sonic characters, 3 Virtua Fighter characters and a handful of other series to get 2 characters a piece.

Here's the roster:


 * Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog)
 * Miles "Tails" Prower (Sonic the Hedgehog)
 * Knuckles the Echidna (Sonic the Hedgehog)
 * Dr. Eggman (Sonic the Hedgehog)
 * Akira Yuki (Virtua Fighter)
 * Sarah Bryant (Virtua Fighter)
 * Jacky Bryant (Virtua Fighter)
 * Kazuma Kiryu (Yakuza)
 * Ichiban Kasuga (Yakuza)
 * Joker (Persona)
 * Aigis (Persona)
 * Raidou Kuzunoha (SMT)
 * Axel Stone (Streets of Rage)
 * Blaze Fielding (Streets of Rage)
 * Alicia Melchiott (Valkyria Chronicles)
 * Selvaria Bles (Valkyria Chronicles)
 * Vyse (Skies of Arcadia)
 * Bayonetta (Bayonetta)
 * Alex Kidd (Alex Kidd)
 * Opa-Opa (Fantasy Zone)
 * Nei (Phantasy Star)
 * Sakura Shinguji (Sakura Wars)
 * Arle Nadja (Puyo Puyo)
 * Ryo Hazuki (Shenmue)
 * NiGHTS (NiGHTS)
 * Beat (Jet Set Radio)
 * Ulala (Space Channel 5)

 * Asha (Wonder Boy)
 * Bowie (Shining)
 * Temjin (Virtua-On)
 * Rikiya Busijima (The House of the Dead, specifically Zombie Revenge)
