#If anyone has any other questions involving some kh x sonic thoughts/headcanons/ideas or anything else

[hadesknockedupintheunderworld]

If you know the medal system from Kingdom Hearts Union cross:

What type of Keyblade wielder would Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Shadow be?

Do you mean like...what kinds of medals would they be or what kinds would they use?

Honestly, while I played khux to the very end, I almost never looked at strategies or worried about what kinds of medal combos I had. Largely I used my strongest medals and changed them out only if I needed a specific typing or specifically either uprights or reversed medals for missions. So I don't really have ideas for what medal lineups they'd use or anything, but I can perhaps talk about what kind of medals they could have/be, which khux keyblades would be interesting to pair with them, and how I think they'd fight as keyblade wielders?

ㅤ

Sonic

As a Medal:

Now, since there are multiple kinds of medals involving the same characters for khux, I'm not arguing that this is exactly what he would be like if there was a medal based off of him. Rather, I'm sort of coming up with an idea of a medal depiction of him I could see happening

A medal I can envisioning of him would be an upright medal with him doing the Sonic adventure pose

So upright, speed type attack medal

With that being said, I can also very well envision a medal for his special form induced by prism energy at the end of prime s2 as well

Khux Keyblade:

All in all, he'd probably have Starlight. But, for no particular reason, I think Missing Ache lvl 25 would also be cool for him to wield

Fighting Style:

Like Sora and Riku, I think Sonic would be the type who learns to fight on the fly. No real basis learning from another wielder, he just develops a style by fighting others or getting out in the field. With that, I think Sonic would very well combine his natural speed and abilities with the usage of his keyblade for melee attacks, and I think he wouldn’t practice or use magic attacks especially often. I'd probably use his fighting in satbk as a reference while also factoring in how keyblades are able to disappear and be resummoned, which would give Sonic a bit more freedom when fighting with them.

ㅤ

Tails

As a Medal:

While there would undoubtedly be speed type medals of him as well, I envision a upright, magic type medal for him with this pose/image (2d SA2 render)

I can also see there being medals of him holding the Miles Electric as well (for a general medal) or with the Cyclone

Khux Keyblade:

Stroke of Midnight (either lvl 20 (pictured below) or lvl 25)

I don't have a lot to explain for this other than that I'd be purposely tying Tails to the concepts of dreams and beliefs in the context of Cinderella and kh.

Fighting Style:

Tails can fight more up close, but I largely see him doing this when he's doing combo or trio attacks (such as with Sonic or with Sonic and Knuckles for example). More often than not, I see him utilizing magic attacks with his keyblade and growing far more proficient with spells than Sonic.

ㅤ

Knuckles

As a medal:

Upright, power type. There are a number of Sonic Adventure renders I liked, but to keep with the pattern of the other two, I'm gonna go with this pose

There would undoubtedly be a medal where he's standing/posing with the master emerald in some way I think😂

Khux Keyblade:

Hmmmm I know this is probably a bit of a cop out

But I'm going to go Olympia (lvl 3). I'm not really choosing Olympia for the Hercules angle as much as I'm going at it from an aesthetic point of view. I feel like he's someone who would have a bigger keyblade, being a power type fighter.

Fighting Style:

Like with Sonic, I think most of Knuckles' keyblade experience would be out in the field or from just sort of practicing against homemade dummies on Angel Island.

However, he seems like the kind of guy to me who opts to use his knuckles and raw power more often than not, only resorting to using a keyblade when the situation calls for it or he has no other choice.

Amy

As a Medal:

Upright power type as well. Like the others, I'm going with this specific pose type from the Sonic Adventure 2d renders

I think there would also be at least one medal of her in a fighting stance with her hammer as well

Khux Keyblade:

I know that Divine Rose is the easy choice, but with my (admittedly small) collection of keyblades to choose from, I decided to go with Fenrir. Like with Knuckles, I saw her having a bulkier keyblade, but (even though it would match her aesthetic a bit better) I didn't want to repeat keyblades in this list, which is why I didn't go with Olympia. Fenrir (lvl 25 in this case) does NOT match her aesthetic, but I think it would be hilarious if she pulled it out.

Idk maybe it's a different color or she decorates it or something 😂🤷

Fighting Style:

I'm not sure how comprehensible this is, but something like Lea's.

I'll explain the best I can.

A friend of mine explained Lea's fighting style in kh3 as a style clearly influenced by his chachram wielding muscle memory. So, like that. I think Amy would be a piko piko hammer wielder first, and a keyblade wielder second, so you'd be able to see this influence in her style. Like the others, I think she'd sort of learn and develop her style on the fly rather than being taught, but I can see her doing a bit of research and replication of fighting styles to add to her keyblade wielding after the fact.

I think she'd primary be a melee fighter, but (unlike Sonic) I think she'd try to develop at least basic proficiency with most well known magic types/spells with her keyblade. So she can do basic cure and does have some spells she likes over others, but Tails is by far more knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to this.

Shadow

As a Medal:

While there would undoubtedly be power type versions of him, I'm going to go with reversed, speed type.

Khux Keyblade:

Dark Maw (lvl 35 (pictured below) or lvl 20). This one could be a cop out too, but I honestly just like the aesthetic of it with him😂. If I had more choices though, I'd actually go with a pair of keyblades that resemble Roxas's pairing of Oathkeeper and Oblivion

Fighting Style:

Honestly, while he'd be another character who develops his style in the field on the fly by fighting a number of opponents (and taking advantage of raw talent), I can see him being a dual wielder in my mind's eye. Ik ik if this was some specific au I'd have to determine how (in this case, whose heart is living within his), but it’s not. So suspension of disbelief in use, Shadow would be a dual wielder to me.

Like Sonic, I think he too would make use of the ability to summon his keyblade at will, and so would combine his natural speed, power, and chaos energy skills/attacks with his usage of melee attacks.

Unlike Sonic, he also would become proficient in some magic and make use of it occasionally. Due to his high healing factor, he wouldn't bother learning cure magic until taught later, but I can see him becoming proficient in magic he's naturally adept with or likes specifically. He probably knows dark firaga.

So...yeah! Thanks for the ask, anon!

I apologize if this wasn't exactly what you were asking for, so feel free to shoot me a follow up ask if that's the case 😅😊
