>>136334273>The same way every boss in every game is a threatYou can destroy most Eggman mechs in a few seconds if you really want to go there and factor in game mechanics. More than that, those are EGGMAN bots - y'know, the same guy who conquered a solar system, and did everything else from SA1 up to Generations in a little under a year and knows Sonic in and out after having attempted to defeat him for decades? Don't be retarded. These pirates were never going to be a problem for all but the weakest version of Sonic, and if we're going there, we may as well toss Nicky at them.
>Fang and Bark and Bean are solo characters and they are also threats to Sonic.Fang is a professional bounty hunter, who also doubles as the WEAKEST of the Holligans and is still considered a moderate threat in his own right. Bean can remote detonate his bombs per Archie and had enough raw destructive power to annihilate Eggman battleships without even trying. Bark trades blows with fucking Mighty, a guy comparable in strength to fucking KNUCKLES.
Any of those three would also fold this crew of clowns like toilet paper. This isn't the gotcha you think it is.
