Sonic Forces Speed Battle - Ranking the Rare Characters

UPDATE: Since this video, some of these characters have been affected by balance changes. Most notably Espio, who received a rework since this video. Please keep this in mind if any of the information seems outdated.

Similar to the common video from last month, here I opt to give my thoughts on each of the rare characters. Still a bit nervous in regards to talking, but hopefully I'll settle in. Enjoy!

It should go without saying, but remember that everything stated during this video is just my opinion. Feel free to comment on what your personal rankings are!

Music Used:
Lava Reef Zone - Act 1 and 2 (Sonic Mania)
Holoska Night - Sonic Unleashed

The music is the property of SEGA, I do not claim it as my own.

I don't know why the start of the Espio race freezes, I tried my best to work around this but the best I could do was having the start of the race be a bit delayed. The race itself was fine, and in the editor it was fine, it was just the start of the race.
