huh yeah that checks out
wait what about gamma they're metal and gun but i wouldn't call them a power-type they're closer to fly or speed imo
well, Gamma is one of the E100 models, and Omega who is in Sonic Heroes was classified as a Power type. Now, Gamma is classified as havnig less power than Speed and Acceleration in Sonic Forces: Speed Battle, and also 2/3 of their abilities are projectile attacks, so I feel very comfortable classing them as Gun
hmmm i suppose that's true but what keeps tripping me up is that one of gamma's most important powerups is the jet booster, and most of their levels are built around the hover ability to some extent, but here Gun is directly opposed to Flight...
i feel like you could make a case for gamma to fit into any type here except Psych tbh and i don't know if that's a problem but it is Something
Gamma was too powerful, too beautiful, too pure for this world
what are some psych type characters? i canโt really think of any examples besides like, silver or maybe espio???
