4. Version History
Version 0.9 – Has all characters and stats listed in the guide.
Still, there may be some minor room for improvement. E-10000 R's
abilities have not been defined as of yet as I have not unlocked
him as of yet.
Version 1.0 - E-10000 R's abilities have been defined. His stats
have been changed slightly. Also changed his rating. There may
still be room in the guide for improvement, though. Could potentially
add Super Sonic to the guide in a later version. Could add a Trick List
for each character in a later version as well. Also added the alternate
method to unlock E-10000 G, as well as editing an error made in the
Table of Contents.
Version 1.1 - Added Super Sonic to the guide.
Version 1.2 - Edited information on Tails' 3rd Attack. May add 2 new
sections to the guide in the next version.
Version 1.3 - Edited information on Ulala's 1st and 2nd Attacks.
Edited grammatical error in the profile for Sonic the Hedgehog. Added
"Special Tricks" section where information will be filled in in
the next version. Could possibly add another section to the guide.
Version 1.31 - Minor edits.
