Gimmick: Ring Sack
The Ring Sack a resource mechanic which is used to fuel both his Smash Attacks and most of his Specials Moves.
Attacking any opponent with his Normal and Aerial moves can cause several Rings to fall down onto the ground.
Rings linger onstage for 10 seconds once they hit the ground. Obtaing 25 Rings increases Tails' defense by 1.5%.
However, collecting Rings comes at the cost of making Tails heavier, making the tail flight duration much shorter.
Tails will carry 50 Rings at the start of battle and carries 200 Rings at most. Smash Attacks cost 10 Rings per use.


Specials :GCB:
Neutral Special: Cyblast
Tails pulls out his new and improved blaster, then shoots a powerful sphere of energy in an arc.

(Origin: Sonic Frontiers) | (Cost: 5 or 15 Rings)


Up Special: Spring
Tails summons a Spring below himself, bouncing himself straight or diagnonally upwards for recovery.
Springs will linger on any platforms or in mid-air for 10 seconds, allowing any opponents to use them.

(Origin: Sonic Frontiers) | (Cost: 10 Rings)


Down Special: Spin Dash
