I might be slow but what do the chaos emeralds do???
Artisan Main 26 Jul @ 3:27pm 
lowkey when you do update the mod nerf mechas missile radar thing, i play with friends and its kinda annoying. rest of the character rocks!
cj 25 Jul @ 10:57am

@cj — Mecha Sonic is not dead. I did not want to post this, but I'm going through a tough time right now so it's going to be a little longer until I can release a patch to fix things (and add things) I know everyone wants. Please be patient, thank you for your passion and enjoying the character.
cj 20 Jul @ 10:34pm 
However this mod is somewhat dead without updates (like roa lol) and he gives very little reward for the effort put in unless you really like feeling awesome and cool whilst fighting, so I understand where youre coming from. I know a ton of combos for this character and if you want to get better at him id love to share, heres a tip down tilt while tap side b-ing, you get a ton of speed and idek if its intentional.

thanks sorry for writing such a long comment its just this is my favorite character and at first i thought he was dog doo doo because i didnt give him enough of a chance
cj 20 Jul @ 10:34pm 
But this leads me to my favorite thing about this character- when you get good, you are faster and have better combos than any character in the game. 0-deaths any heavy character. Enemy has no disjoint or area denial? Mecha now has stage control no matter what. Dont forget you can use his neutral B to hover upwards by drifting up, its slow and faster if youre above a platform. Be careful because the biggest noob trap for this character is his neutral b. its fun and awesome and even has a joker dodge mechanic but is constantly parriable and since they work as hitboxes not projectiles if youre flying with his neutral b and you get parried youll fall like a rock. To use neutral B effectively use it kind of like fox laser and a "am i gonna stop shooing or am i gonna keep shooting" mindgame with opponents by shooting like one or two bullets.

@SkyCrafter1234 I get what you're saying- this character is far too technical for their reward, however I main them religiously and the only way I can explain it is- he's VERY hard because hes VERY fast. having incredible horizontal movement speed and a litany of options is a positive so the downside is his vertical movement, he has a very short jump because his movement is not like other characters. He's physically VERY heavy, but uses his booster to move around. This combined with his very technical moveset that actively punishes a bait playstyle instead relying souly on rushdown makes him very matchup dependent and by far the highest skill floor character of any character ive seen in this game.
SanicConnoisseur_91 13 Jul @ 11:48am 
It doesn't. ...yet. If you parry an enemy, they drop a chaos emerald, collecting all 7 will probably give him some sort of super form that's extended from and based on the existing chaos emerald buddy compatibility.
trexkiller131 13 Jul @ 11:22am 
how does the chaos emerald mechanic work?
NotCoddz 7 Jul @ 1:22pm 
please give him kill power i beg of you
SanicConnoisseur_91 29 Jun @ 4:18pm 
Man I hope the update fixes the issues I have with this character...most of if not all of them have already been pointed out by several other people.
SkyCrafter1234 27 Jun @ 10:32pm 
i don't really think the recovery with wall jump is all that intuitive
i mean, pretty much every other character regains up special upon wall jump, not only is it needlessly complicating the process to have to cling to the wall with dspecial to get it back, but its also something people are likely to not think to do, considering nobody else does it, and its difficult to get used to if you do intend to play this character

also, maybe i'm just dumb but going offstage with the spindash seems very inconsistent. one time i'll hover in place, one time i'll fall, sometimes i can cancel it, sometimes i can't (those two apply to onstage as well), it makes doing it feel like an insane gamble since you can just fly away without control. its hard to even tell any sign of what gives you the ability to cancel it and when. gives me flashbacks of sonic dspecial without a doublejump, just rolling away offstage, unable to do anything about it.
Jammypotato1547 24 Jun @ 4:48pm 
maybe one day this will get updated :PrisonerDeadpan:
SanicConnoisseur_91 26 May @ 6:44pm 
I'm pretty sure the notes mentioned that the chaos emerald buddy compatibility is a bandaid to hold us over until he gets his own built-in form, involving the emeralds that drop from enemies when mecha parries their attack
cj 26 May @ 1:48am 
Fairly certain he doesnt have his super form yet as it wasnt mentioned in the patch notes-
JUANPY GAMER 20 May @ 10:31am 
he does have a super form compatible with the chaos emeralds buddy...
(fun)gi 13 May @ 1:00pm 
hope he gets a super form soon
or the small ones in training mode?
i think his grounded up b missles are bugged, they dont lock on
SilverFox 27 Apr @ 9:17pm 
So what's with the emerald icon in the character selection screen for Mecha?
cj 18 Apr @ 5:25pm 
@Stryfe the Lucksmann It is intentional! To do another up-b you have to down-b the stage and grab onto it for a moment before jumping and it refreshes your up-b!

there are no guides for this character but when this character is released and with the creators permission I'd love to do a full comprehensive guide for Mecha
cj 10 Apr @ 6:55pm 
@Sk1nn1e unfortunately yea :(
Sk1nn1e 7 Apr @ 7:36am 
so the emerald do nothing????
Friskypoint5 3 Apr @ 1:58pm 
nevermind i read the change notes it does nothing
Friskypoint5 3 Apr @ 1:51pm 
whenever i parry someone and attack them an emerald comes out, i got them all in practice (cuz im lazy as heck) but i dont know what to do after and i tried taunting but it was just a taunt
Stryfe the Lucksmann 2 Apr @ 3:29pm 
Uh, I found a weird issue...after using the up b once and then wall jumping out of that, for some odd reason I cannot input another up b. Is that intentional?
cj 2 Apr @ 10:55am 
With all of the new mods coming out I'm wondering if the 3.0 update for this character has a release date! If not thats totally fine we dont want to rush you, but I totally want to use Super Mecha against all the new mario mods coming out >:D :steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup::steamhappy:
Parchment 31 Mar @ 9:01am 
Another bug, holding taunt on the respawn platform will cause a duplicate platform to fly up and offscreen
Parchment 29 Mar @ 5:21pm 
Bug: Gameboy alt still says imbevile voiceline during jab combo
iMerlin 28 Mar @ 6:23pm 
been loving the updates, this character finally feels balanced enough amongst the rest of my friends' roster
cj 26 Mar @ 10:58pm 
10/10 Mod, my favorite workshop mod, but also a very technical and hard character to master (emerald :3)
cj 26 Mar @ 10:57pm 
I get this character now. Whether or not they're too strong or too weak it's still to early to tell, but they do get 2 up B's, and do have kill potential. I would love to create a showcase for this character because they have a LOT of high skill tech to make them very good.
Jormun97 26 Mar @ 9:31pm 
and they should increase the hitbox for f-strong, the fist of mecha clearly touches the opponent and doesnt register as a hit.
Jormun97 26 Mar @ 5:47pm 
i've gotta say, he feels kinda underpowered rn, he's got a very low kill potential
cj 23 Mar @ 7:10pm 
@julie.kristian the chaos emeralds are just a teaser for a future update! New updates come out for this character regularly and very soon after parrying an enemy and taking the emerald from them 7 times you will be able to transform
Drycube 23 Mar @ 4:05pm 
stop asking this question:steamsad:
julie.kristian 22 Mar @ 6:18pm 
How to use chaos emeralds?\
cj 21 Mar @ 2:35pm 
Still coolest character on the workshop checking every day for super mecha
WindWerehog 11 Mar @ 8:40pm 
what are you talking about, people are still uploading content almost daily
Blue 2 Mar @ 7:26am 
Super fun character with amazing potential. Though he's really weak at the moment. his smash moves even fully charged have very little KO power. Also the lack of wall jump really gimps him. High airborne mobility but can't go off stage because I can't get back without dying. Mecha also has no stopping power so if the opponent gets in your face you can't contest their moves without them being right on top of you again. The move sets are really cool though. and judging by his speed, it feels like he's supposed to overwhelm foes with speed while delivering devastating kill blows. The balance I'm looking for is possibly coming when the emeralds get added seeing as he feels half complete at the moment. All in all solid framework for a really fun character.
MAGNETIC_powa 2 Mar @ 7:09am 
still my favourite
ZX13Roxas 23 Feb @ 4:12pm 
Character is a bit weak at the moment. He doesn't do enough damage, even in combos. Like how the up strong attack does about 3% damage, and it's supposed to be a strong attack. His standing up special does 1% per missile. That's a pathetic amount of damage.
Ryuk 14 Feb @ 1:39pm 
i think if you want to implement chaos emeralds into the character then make him a win more character. like how lucario in smash gets stronger when he has less stocks, nerf mecha sonic's initial speed and airspeed etc then make him get more stats etc. when he gets chaos emeralds from taking a stock or giving a certain amount of %(make them sit in place so they cant fall off the stage or something) . idk i just feel like the up air nerf was a little too strong because the character cant reliably kill imo. amazing mod just would hate to not be able to actually play it due to no kill power. glad the side b sliding thing got fixed though. gl
Ryuk 14 Feb @ 8:48am 
character cannot kill whatsoever and you can no longer up special again after walljumping which is weird ive never seen anything like that on any character
ricky.123/ 13 Feb @ 7:34pm 
I didn't really like that they changed the special attack forward (although this attack was the most annoying for the others) but I still use it and it is main
Titanium Chimera 2 Feb @ 10:03am 
Bro use a fly buddy, he looks perfect hovering in the air
JoNsCh 2 Feb @ 4:12am 
i like the super with the emeralds but what is this emerald button on the profil ?
Drycube 31 Jan @ 3:07pm 
do you have a general idea for when you might be finished with the emerald update?
JLBlitz 30 Jan @ 9:51am 
@Frieza you CAN NOT that's coming in an update. Next time read the patch notes or one of the 500000 comments that asked the same thing you did
