Sonic 06 deserves it. It's pure broken crap. I've played Sonic 1, 3, CD, Knucles Kaotix, they are great games. I mean, all-time great games. The series was pure perfection. Sega destroyed it, made it mediocre. They murder Sonic and Altered Beast all the time. Well, at least After Burner, Outrun and Phantasy Star remain great.

People will want to kill me here, but it is actually better than SSB Brawl. SSB 64 was the best ever, but the series simply destroyed their fast gameplay and PS All-Stars nailed that same fast gameplay I wanted on SSB. If SSB fans stopped bashing the game for being a ripoff and just looked at how it did a better gameplay, maybe the next SSB could become great again. Another Brawl style gameplay and I'm done with new SSBs and will just keep playing the 64 version.

I disagree that the gameplay was better. The idea of having finishers as the only way of KOing people is interesting, but it makes the game inaccessible for newer people. For fighting veterans, it makes character balance dependent almost entirely on three moves. Raiden for instance (at least before patches, I haven't played the game in a while) had so many ways to combo into his super that he was ridiculous in 1v1. Playing as Raiden in PSASBR was like if you could play Marvel vs Capcom 3 Akuma in Street Fighter 4.
That's probably the largest issuess with gameplay, but there were smaller ones as well. Building a battle system that runs on long combos is a bit weird in a King of the Hill style game. The lack of a dash feature is a pretty big ommission that generally limits characters in how they can approach.
PASBR also has the same ridiculous online choices as Smash (no 1v1? really?) but doesn't have its excessive content. Smash, Brawl in particular, had just about the most replay for any single player fighting game ever, and PSASBR had the bare minimum in terms of content. Weak online multiplayer and weak single player is a bad combination.
Not to say it's a bad game. They did a great job with character diversity, and it's generally fun. It's an above average fighter that got above average ratings. Seems about right to me.
