Metal Knuckles is an oddity among the community, alternating between being an asset of common sense and wit to the forums, and being an idiot. Metal Knuckles started out in early 2004 as a member of the Shadowsoft Games forums, than slowly moved his way across the SSRG, Sonic Retro, and briefly in Hacking CulT before he was suspended until 2010. Starting out with a graphical hack of Sonic the Hedgehog named Shadow Alpha, he soon started a trend of creating incomplete hacks for various reasons. Metal Knuckles soon grew a reputation for being one of the few constant presences in the Sonic hacking community without an actual hacking reputation. Metal Knuckles has spread out to the wider ROM hacking community in more recent years, including Romhacking.net, ||board, Board 2, Jul, Aeon Genesis, and SMW Central.

Noteworthy Facts

File:Shadowiv2.gif
A screenshot of Shadow Alpha, one of the few pieces of evidence that Metal Knuckles has any hacking experience
  • Allegedly, Metal Knuckles is the writer of the 100th Strongbad Email, making him "Jon, No Hampsters".
  • Metal Knuckles is the only staff member of the SSRG forums that acheived his position without any real Sonic hacking experience. Metal Knuckles tends to remark more on the fact that he's the only staff member of the site who is American.
  • Once in the SSRG forums, a banned use tried to re-register with a different name. While not an uncommon event, Metal Knuckles made a dramatic turnabout when no one else noticed, and temporarily turned the forums into a case out of Phoenix Wright.
