The "Maximum Heat Knuckles Attack" too. They take too long to charge up to do anything useful.
Did I miss something?
Seriously, what's the point of the Ancient Light?

The Ancient Light's only purpose is to get past the monkey obstacle right next to it to get to Hot Mountain.
The Maximum Heat attack serves no actual purpose other than killing stronger enemies faster.

There purpose is to be flashy ultimate moves. No one ever said flashy ultimate moves had to be useful.

Re: Seriously, what's the point of the Ancient Light?
They wanted an offensive variation to the Light Dash (which is legimately useful most of the time) so they came up the Light Speed Attack for Sonic. And because Knuckles was basically the Shadow of pre-SA2 games it was decided that he needed his own version of Sonic's new attack, so he got the Maximum Heat Knuckles Attack.

^ The light dash was useful in SA1? Iirc there was only about two levels were it was required at very specific parts, otherwise it just slowed you down
SA2's on the other hand is actually very useful if you can get the hang of it.

Re: Seriously, what's the point of the Ancient Light?
^Yes, the Light Dashing part of the Light Speed Dash isn't terrible useful.... but the charging animation comes in handy when you want to kill nearby enemies without using Spin Dash or Homing Attack, which are frequenly dangerous to use because of bottomless pits/spikes/fire/other stuff.
But you're right, they really didn't work out how to make the Light Dash an essential and useful feature until the second Adventure game.

Re: Seriously, what's the point of the Ancient Light?
Ancient Light also does double damage to Chaos 6, it speeds up boss attack a lot, it's incredibly useful in the room in Final Egg with the crab badniks, idk man it's at least as useful as the other upgrades are
