Mobian Mayhem Roster
Two playable kits in the public playtest, plus the canon roadmap.
The roster is small on purpose. We are the Mobians are building a canon-character battlegrounds game, not an Archie-cameo collector. In the current Rework Countdown lobby you can queue Sonic (Speed Perfected) and Shadow (Ultimate Being). Everything else is a date on a whiteboard. This hub points at the kit pages, the character rankings, and the upcoming list.
If you wanted a twenty-fighter wiki, you are early. If you wanted a fighter that actually looks like Sonic when it runs, you are in the right place.
Playable now
- Sonic — default starter. Finishers, spin ball, boost clash, rails. Lab on Sonic combos. Ranked S on the tier list for public servers.
- Shadow — timing kit. Chaos Control / time stop, Spear Combo, anti-team, Ultimate Being. Lab on the Shadow guide. Ranked A.
Both kits share the same engine: four M1s, dash, block, wall combo. You are not learning a new fighter when you swap; you are learning new specials.
Stated next
Developers on camera: Sonic and Shadow stay free on the full drop. Knuckles is the early-access character at that moment. Metal Sonic is confirmed as a future kit; which Metal (classic, Neo, Mecha) is not locked. Non-canon Archie designs are a no unless they are also canon. Details and the “please add Tails / Silver” pile live on upcoming characters.
How to pick without a thirty-row table
Pick Sonic if you are new, play mobile, or like movement. Pick Shadow if you already wait on timed tools in other battlegrounds games or if your servers are full of duos. Re-read getting started if you are instalocking Shadow because a thumbnail said “broken.”
Skins (ties, palettes) showed up in playtest clips. They are not separate fighters. A black-tie Sonic is still Speed Perfected.
What this hub will not do
We will not rank leaked slots. We will not add an “OC hedgehog” page. We will not pretend Super forms are a third kit because a jump-awakening has a rare voice line. When the rework ships a new select screen, this hub gets a new card the same day we can play the kit.
For patch context, use updates and playtest history. For socials, links. For the engine, controls. The roster is the easy part. The wall combo is the hard part.
Cross-links you will actually need
- Getting started — first lobby, first kit choice
- Sonic combos — Flare dash and Speed Perfected
- Shadow guide — timed tools and time stop
- Wall combos — four M1s, front dash, both kits
- Codes — still empty; cosmetics will sit on these kits later
If a YouTube title adds a third hedgehog tomorrow, wait until you can select it in place 14569384529. Roster pages follow the select screen, not the thumbnail.
