Sorry to double post, but I'm looking at high-quality scans of the Black Knight preview right now,m and I'll type up any info we've missed:
- Like in SR, you get a gauge-based move called the Soul Surge, which is used by holding B and then shaking the Wiimote, which has Sonic unleash *shot* a "series of deadly lock-on strikes or a blinding turbo boost that can get the hedgehog out of almost any dangerous situation".
- Some of the skills you can acquire are carried over from SR, none are specifically mentioned though. Two new ones include the Paladin's shield-breaking ability, and the Cavalier's wall-climbing Splash Jump.
- This is either a typo, or the sword is called specifically Caliburn.
- With the ability to customize your character, you can add offensive and defensive effects, such as immunity from elemental status ailments.
- Yes, the tracks in the Molten Mine are of minecarts, in case people were still thinking they were train tracks...
- YOU CAN CUT THE GRASS IN THE TITANIC PLAIN!!!
- Seems that you won't be able to visit some stages until subsequent playthroughs, oh boy...
- Tails is stupidly called a mutant squirrel... :/
- In multiplayer, you do have the option of fighting against the CPU!
- They mention a March release.
Oh, and I saved what might be the best for last:
- Sonic's in the middle of a chilli-dog feast when he's being summoned into the book! :lol :lol :lol
