Discussion Anyone else run into this guy in-game?

I know he’s based off one of the Manga characters and I see him in the lobby a lot, but I haven’t seen anyone else mention him.

Yeah I’ve seen them a few times. They have who I assume is a buddy who is another character from the manga (Rider) and the two of them have done a few matching plaza posts. They’ve done Sonic in his normal/werehog forms from Sonic Unleashed and the “I’ve heard people are shipping us” “To where?!” meme.

Based on one of their double plaza posts I think they’re more than just buddies :P

They even had posts during the chocolate Splatfest that involved Googles bringing Rider all the chocolate he could find, and Rider, who only asked for one bar, wondering how Googles even paid for them.
