Even if Archie got actually good, I cannot lie, worst of Archie is undefendable. That shit mananged to survive only due to Sonic's name lmao
And even still, Archie has so much baggage, I kinda dont want its stuff in game canon. Im a bit hypocrite, because say DBS actually mananged to create a version of Broly that fits well, so why adapt Archie stuff? But I think youd need to do far more changes to make Archie characters work in games.
And ngl, Tangle and Whisper have been written kiiiinda badly last few years so I dont really care. Tbf, at least Crossworlds basically got every actual important character in, so its not like we are missing characters that could race. I kinda would like to see Infinite get redemption arc, but, alas... maybe racing game isnt best place to start.
