Sonic Thread

I loved the intensity of this music.

...

...

I rewatched Sonic SatAm, AoStH and am currently watching Sonic Boom. The Sonic Boom show is meta as fuck.

Well, if you want my favorite remix of this.

3&K. Maybe Mania if it doesn't turn out to suck.

What about Advance 1 and 2, Rush, Rush Adventure, Colors and Colors DS?

...

They'll find a way to make genesis sonic return and discontinue green eyed sonic (or at least state that green eyed sonic is part of a different universe like any other comic)

Better than 3D games, nowhere near as good as the Genesis-era games.

...

...

If they were going to do that, they'd have forces end with Classic Sonic back in time and continue the series with Classic Sonic in the newly created timeline after the old timeline was changed due to the events of Forces.
Not going to happen.

...

...

10/10

Gotta go faster than that.

...

...

We could have had this…

2nd down on the left is the best.

That's no good.

At least it was within the ballpark. Though they seem to be going more on a hedgehog focus that it starts to turn into a dreamworks character.

The colored on one the bottom-left looks like a late 80s to early 90s Disney design.

Looks like something straight out of lilo and stitch. The middle colored is obviously the best.

FUCK OFF

NONE OF YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO TALK ABOUT SONIC

...

whoops, didn't mean to reply.

Most of those are pretty awful though. Look like Tumblr

edgy, I know, but Team Dark's theme manages to not throw them and their gameplay roles in your face like the other 3 teams' themes did, but instead is thematically about how Shadow's team affects him.

This Machine is real good, but I prefer the feel-good tone of We Can.

I hate Holla Forums for constantly trying to make me a faggot or a furry.

Why hasn't the Rouge temptrest mission in generations for pc been fixed yet?

That looks like garbage tbh.

I bet you hate other Midnas too.

I like the one on the middle left, it looks like she's wearing a mask of a behelit from Berserk.

Also speaking of things that could have been.

...

...

Oshiete! 10b3a8-san!

The game in terms of aesthetics is top notch. Honestly, most people who hate is are just autist who "could not into run button" and basically never took the time to learn how to play the game properly. Most the criticisms I see of it boil down to "I hate change". I honestly would love to see a Lost Worlds 2 and yes if they could remove the run button it probably would be an improvement but otherwise its a great 3d/2d platformer.

>Will never fug Zeena raw and make her addicted to my superior human cock

Don't forget IGN's review where the guy playing walks and jumps slowly over a giant hole or stops his momentum midair, dropping to his death and then saying how the new game is unresponsive and bad.

I fucking loved the soundtrack to unleashed

The day stages were the shit.
The night stages were shit.

pic related

They nerfed the spin dash too much
Too much side scrolling
Not fast enough.

I forgot you can't embed a video AND upload pics at the same time like a faggot.

Sounds a bit familiar

Sonic Lost World is not a bad game. Stop pretending it is.

I want another Sega Kart, with all the characters portrayed in the same visual style.

the only good thing about this game was the soundtrack

Nah it's also fun to sequence break and glitch the hell out of.

>knuckles and his emrood are OTP

Lost World. Ambitious, but it did a lot of things right.

This. What worries me about Forces is that they might toss the baby out with the bathwater. If Lost World had a better sense of speed when you're moving fast, plus more great levels, then it'd have been great.

...

Post your favorite invincibility theme.

Are we being raided or seeing a influx of posters from some other site? I'm seeing an unusual amount of posts going "Lost World is actually great, you're just all haters!" without provocation.

...

Do you say Dr. Robotnik or Dr. Eggman?

...

Its statements like this that makes me think you just never took the time to learn how to play the game and where salty that it wasn't more of the Boost too win mechanics.

Loved the shit out of the first 2 games and eagerly awaited the holy matrimony of game mechanics that should have been 3.

I have a deep seated hatred of Kinect on a personal level now. FUCK.

DESTINY
LIES BEFORE YOUUUUUU

The joys of autism are great indeed, but known only to the autistic.
It would behoove you to stay on the cool side of the spectrum. Take part in activities with autistic fervor, but never let yourself become a physical manifestation of the tism.

Metal Sonic game never ever.

Sonic the Fighters 2 never ever.

Why is Knuckles so cool

...

Robotnik for classic design, Eggman for modern design.

I got all the achievements in Lost world and honestly I thought it was too easy. Generations was already too easy but this was even easier the bosses were an absolute joke.
and pretty bland it felt more like Mario then it did Sonic only without any of what makes Mario good.
The spin dash sucked, it was far too slow, the best part of the spin dash was using it to launch yourself off ramps high into the air and you can't do that in Lost world.

Lost world wasn't awful, nothing was badly done, just nothing done that great either.

but i'll give you a chance maybe i just sucked, show me some God tire gameplay and maybe i'll see that the game was better then I thought.

DOC-DOC-DOC-DOCTORRR IVO RRRROBOTNIK

yes its a good game. I honestly don't know why you are getting so autistic about a run button kiddo?

I never said anything about the run button.

implies you don't know how to use the run button properly.

Show me a video that makes the game look good.

Rubuttnicks

How does knuckles glide?

I think the official explanation is that he catches the air in his spines.

I don't like it.

I'm not really a fan of what the Sonic Boom artists were considering (they just needed to remove the excessive hokey sports tape from the main cast) - but I do like what we almost got in Sonic Adventure.

That second pic is actually pretty cool. I wouldn't mind of Eggman had the right design in sonic 06 not that it would have mattered.

It's like a sweet spot between classic and modern.

Too Disney-esque for me

What would a girl Eggman look like?
>THICC

Probably something like this.

most underrated vocal song coming up

careful

he punches the air so hard it bends to his will

I never liked escape from the city.

She was a riot.

Escape from the City is practically a meme song. I'm more of a fan of the Egg Golem theme.

A favorite.

...

But these designs blow those shit-ass disneyesque sonics out of the water

Shame archie is dead.

...

Who drew these?

Oh yes, such a cruel fate to never have such high quality writing again or know about such pointless bullshit as Tommy Turtle and the autistic as fuck lore that even surpasses the worst 06 had to offer both pre and post-SGW. You fucking Holla Forumsfags need to get out of your fucking nostalgia echo chamber.

I'd almost be grateful to Penders for making sure that comic's autism never leaked into the games if not for the fact that he got Chronicles 2 cancelled and is the reason why Sega is too scared to experiment with Sonic's plot anymore.

Jules was pretty cool, I liked him.

Also Birdman.

I honestly don't know why they didn't just abandon the SatAM bullshit when the reboot happened. Mega Man stuck with the games as closely as possible and it was better for it. By trying to make some hodgepodge universe that just barely follows that games but tries to incorporate shit from saturday morning cartoons and pointless shit from the pre-SGW comics only kept things just as bad. Also, all that satam shit did was overblow the already overly large cast Sonic had with even more unneeded baggage characters like the love interest chipmunk, the french weasel and the gay walrus who only helped to take away time from the game's well known characters.

a

Megaman is dead too.

I will humor you and say that the Tail's Sky Patrol adaptation was probably the only truly good story arc in the comics because it expanded on a pre-existing game and its barely explored characters the most and did little to connect itself with the rest of the comic. It would've been perfection without Bunnie and Antoine. In fact that arc was the only one that could rival Archie's Mega Man.

Jules was just another unneeded family member thrown in by Penders' autism.

muh dick

Yep. A damn shame since it was probably one of the best vidya comic adaptations out there and truly followed the games and characters accordingly without adding any shit filler characters, and the ones they did add barely felt intrusive and Quake Girl was damn good fap material

So, let me get this straight. You don't like the comics because they did something different with the story, but you're upset by Penders because you want SEGA to do something different with the story.

Right before it died, they canonized honey woman as well.

I'm talking about Archie's Mega Man for any new arrivals to the damn thread.

Get a load of this.

...

They did something different that was complete shit. By being different, I mean all I want SEGA to do is expand on the Echidna bullshit in a good way like Chronicles tried to do (which shouldn't have strayed so close to the comics). That's it.

And that's just another thing to be pissed about.

FTFY

Why must the good die young?

OTP.

Because we don't deserve nice things.

Gay

I feel so confused about myself.

Its not gay. It autism.

Honestly, I'll never get the autism behind "it should only be game characters!". I get that what Penders, Bollers, and that one editor masquerading as a freelance writer wrote was absolute shit, but I don't see what's so bad about doing something original, especially since the games have been utter shit at creating a cohesive world behind them. The reboot was great, because it took aspects from all across the entire media franchise and meshed them together into a working universe. It wasn't exactly the games, and that was a good thing. Like it or not, Sonic the Hedgehog is more than just the video games, and the majority of its cartoons are good. The reboot's only sin was Kaminski's stupid instruction to make the reboot have a half-assed tie into the preboot.

We still deserve the hope of Sonic Mania being good … right?

I shouldn't be surprised that this exists, but I somehow still am.

>The Autism Community

I'm going to make a guess and assume that the all custom character stage music is going to be vocal tracks.

Nothing wrong with creating new characters in other media. Except SatAM's characters were complete shit and added nothing new to Sonic's team that wasn't already done by the game's characters.

That fucking bitch and her useless lynx AI took up more of the reboot history than needed. And why even keep Chuck around when he literally does nothing other than be everyone's uncle and grandpa and hang out with Pickles? Nothing but pointless filler. Who the fuck cares if Rotor was abused and molested by his dad? Who the fuck cares about Bunnie and Antoine's marital problems? Its all just needless filler because Flynn doesn't know how to fucking continue with such a messy and convoluted reboot that just kept throwing in more and more filler. The Mega Man comic followed closely to the games as possible while still adding a few new twists here and there, and it was better for it without trying to incorporate a bunch of stupid shit from different media at one time or doing some horribly broken reboot that messes up its already autistic lore.

>The Autistic Gay Community
Imagine the meme potential.

I can live with that since I won't do the custom shit unless its required by the damn game. All I want is to play Rouge in a 3D Sonic game again. Is that too much to ask?

Doesn't help that post-reboot discussions were mostly nothing but autistic shippers demanding they become the next big OTP or some shit because Sally needed to "be free of her role" or some autistic shit like that.

Seek help.

Not when Sonic's cast is already unnecessarily big and filled with underused and unexplored characters.

Sage because fuck all these damn Sonic threads.

u gay or somethin?

QUALITY

Isn't that game retconned Along with Sonic 4?

Full version

...

...

Meant for

We wish.

Oh, that ArchangelUK faggot swears up and down that it is because he can't tell what a spinoff is in Sega's businesses decisions and dumbasses take his ideas as fact, but he also unironically calls it "AU" like a tumblr dropout. Ian Flynn says it's canon like a normal person, but made a halfassed excuse as to why Archie would never touch it.

Sonic heroes was the first 'modern' sonic game I had ever played since S&K, saw it in a bargain bin and picked it up out of curiosity after hearing how awful sonic had become. It wasn't that bad though I did see how people would have been put off by the dozen extra characters.

What do you mean by "extra"? The others beyond the big three or what?

You do realize we were getting shit fixed and made ok by Flynn right? I mean the comics gave us sonic snapping and going full balls to the walls against eggman and still losing. or Eggman snapping and going insane, which included a brief bit where eggman literally clocks sonic.

We can't have neat shit like that anymore because Sega got upset at Pender's bullshit so the comics then had to follow the games almost 100%.

which we did get, the arc with mighty and ray trying to find Mighty's sister was interesting. Not to mention they gave a big spotlight to Bean, Bark and Fang.

I will admit though the endless slew of red sonics had to go, but shit like enerjak was interesting.

Side scrolling isn't "bad" I just prefer 3D platforming to 2D platforming, and it felt like Lost World was trying too hard to be "Hurr durr sonic is gud again, remember the classics hurr durr" with all the side scrolling.

Saying the spindash was nerfed doesn't mean I didn't know how to use the run button. It means that they nerfed the spindash.

Sonic heroes had 4 teams to play as.

Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles
Amy, Cream, and Big
Shadow, Rouge, and Omega
Espio, Charmy, and Vector

They were basically different difficulty levels
Rose = Easy, Sonic = Normal, Dark = Hard
With Chaotix being an objective based

You had to beat all 4 and get all the Chaos emeralds if you wanted to fight the True final boss.

I knew as much but I was wondering what he meant by "extra" whether he thought everyone but Team Sonic were entirely new characters or something else. It's not that jarring unless one is a diehard fan of classic Sonic games to the point that they reject more than ~3 playable characters.

...

Can we mod this theme into the game?

I miss Chao Garden.

Posting because I've beaten Sonic CD and I'm still not satisfied because bad ending.

fuck

Back to cuckchan with you

really?
I'm sorry

Sonic Adventure 2. At least, it was good for its time. After that, I played that Shadow the Hedgehog shit and Sonic Heroes, and then dropped the series for good.

...

It was ambitious but it played safe in the most annoying part, such as the uninspired New Super Mario Bros theme (same level themes and the Koopaling stand ins). I was excited when I first saw this because I thought it was going to be like Xtreme where you run in a giant half pipe and level layout is surreal and shit. But no it's just a few of that and some mehish 2D platformers. Weaker than Generations, but I still thought it was a fun rental.

The "good" endings in Sonic 1 and 2 always disappointed me, you go through all that trouble for something that's only slightly different from the "bad" ending. At least 2 gave you super sonic.

Seems good. Tails is the best Sonic character by the way.

That means you can personally connect with Sonic - why the sage then?

I can only imagine the unholy autism Sonic threads would turn into if the day ever came where there was a game, comic, ect. where Tails actually was a girl with Rouge-tier tits or bigger. Pray this never happens for the sake of Sanic fans.

There's not really any porn at all. I'm quite shocked, but not displeased.

I wouldn't mind that

I think we had enough about Rogue.

still cute

>final chapter has Metal and Sonic going up against a foe they need to work together to defeat
>this is accomplished by Sonic feeding Metal's directive of "being better than sonic
>tells Metal to use the chaos emeralds and turn super
>He does but combines it with his Metal Madness Chaos unleashed hellbot form
>final battle is basically a perfect embodiment of Chaos powered by the emeralds vs whatever eldritch thing Eggman unleashed/made
>After Winning, Metal nearly shuts down because "mission achieved: Be better than Sonic"
>Sonic tells him that he himself is growing in abilities and skills every day and if you stop now, one day Sonic will be better than you again
>Gives metal reason to exist via logic loophole and makes metal a proper Rival instead of mindlessly malicious

yes

I want a Team Metal with Metal Sonic, Mecha Knuckles and Tails Doll. It would be pretty cool for a new Heroes game.

Call me crazy bit I swear to god that SEGA was planning a soft reboot via generations with boom being the new canon but the boom games were not well made and they dropped the idea.

I heard from the get-go that Boom was supposed to be an alternate universe, not a reboot.

The problem with "heroes" is that it takes away from the individuality of the characters.

Look at what Sonic can do with all upgrades in Sonic Adventure 2, and then look at what he can do in heroes. It's super lackluster.

… Now a team Dark consisting of Mecha sonic/knuckles/tails doll in a SA2 style… could get behind that.

i wanna see a new official sonic comic
one that, unlike the stuff DC and marvel puts out, isn't filled with leftist propaganda
what would be a good company for SEGA to ask?

well actually im not so sure about DC but my memory is hazy about DC doing something leftist lately, though maybe it was just something minor like shoehorning wonder woman into batman vs superman

but still

Usually these threads do follow a specific formula.
Still better than Klonoa threads.

If Mania does good, maybe we'll get an official remaster of this.

You could even make Metal's personality more of a rogue like Vile from Megaman X. Obsessed with proving he's better than the protagonist even to the point of disregarding his master's weapons.

wonder woman in a hijab-inspired outfit in stark contrast to a prior moment in which wonder woman stood defiant in a field of hijab'ed women.

Well, we are actually discussing games and the usual Sonic humor.

...

Who and what's your favorite Eggman machine?

Egg Dragoon.

My Man!

this implies you both don't know how to properly use the run button and don't know that the spin dash is how you actually go fast in Lost worlds.
feelings are not facts

Comfy as fuck.

Boost games aren't masterpieces but they at least have spectacle in the form of pretty backgrounds and raw speed to entertain the player. Lost World doesn't even have that, it's just Super Mario 3D World with belligerent controls, boostpads everywhere, and obnoxious minigames instead of powerups.

Just adapting games would cause the writers to run out of material fast. Plus post-SGW was to some extent an adptation of Unleashed. I feel like the problem with the Shattered World arc is that it tried to introduce a bunch of new shit all at once and never really dedicated enough time to the new characters and settings to show us why we should care about them. A lot the new characters seemed really bland and were mostly just there for Ian to go "hey these characters exist!" instead of telling a proper story with them. He did some characters interestingly though in my opinion. Eggman's Dozen as a concept was cool, even though Clove, Nephthys, Thunderbolt, and Battle Kukku (mostly for facts that were established in the preboot and only implied in the new canon, see ) were the only interesting ones. Breezie was cool for similar reasons, it's good to have antagonists that aren't Eggman or a giant monster with no personality. The underwater mobian society had story potential, but aside from Razor, Coral, and the stingray (can't remember her name) the characters weren't anything special. The way that Mighty was portrayed was cool as well, shame we never got any stories focusing on him.

Yeah, this has been debunked a little while ago, but just to fight the misconception, Metal Sonic Kai is actually what Metal Sonic is called in the Japanese version of Knuckles' Chaotix, not that giant red boss. The reason he's called Kai ("Improved") is because Eggman had to rebuild his body after Sonic destroyed it, and also added the Metal Laser ability (the one that fires from his chest hole) while he was at it. This story is entirely missing from the English version. /uselesstrivia

Better final boss idea is for Sonic to get his ass handed to him by an upgraded Mecha Sonic, which causes Metal Sonic to recognize Mecha as the real Sonic and fight him instead. Sonic takes advantage of this and teams up with Metal to take him down.

Egg Carrier. It's not the craziest thing he's ever made but I loved how Sonic Adventure's different stories all revolved around it in some fashion, some even having the Carrier's launch as their story's inciting incident. It was more than just "Eggman's building/has already built this thing", because he spends a bulk of the game actually using it for stuff.

Also it has an awesome design.

That's dumb

I know people call them out of place in a Sonic game, but I really love these robot designs. Looked like a fusion between the Swatbots and the E-series.

I liked Mecha and Neo Metal Sonic's designs.

Does the big red fucker have a name? Think the comics called him Titan Metal Sonic.

The final boss of Lost World looks rad, makes me wish that they made figures for Eggman mechs.

They're a bit too detailed for my taste, but the base design is still cool. If they cut down on the extraneous lines and exposed internals I'd like them a lot more.

I'm partial to the Egg Pawns and all their variants myself.

But holy hell he was easy. Just remember to jump and hover over lasers, run along side shots and count down before jumping away from smashing hands.
The only hard part about it was when you need to spam attack button you sometimes stuck in his fucking hand.

Ultimate weapon powering from the energy of an entire world my ass.

I wish S&K's metal sonic would return one day. Its been a while without games with metal sonic.

All the bosses in Lost World are pushovers except for possibly the last Zavok fight.

When are we gonna get another boss on the level of Sonic 2's final boss?

That's like no powerups in a Mario final boss. Or no heart containers in the Zelda final boss.

Not officially, since there was never a guide as far as I can tell. Titan Metal Sonic if you count Archie Comics, I guess. The Sonic Retro wiki still calls him Metal Sonic Kai, but then again, they're slow on anything that isn't a hack, related to hacking, or has something to do with the Retro Engine.

Last Zavok fight was just weird to figure out. You constantly having to spin drop on boxes sometimes made sonic fall with them too. You had only to drop specific boxes, after dropping which you needed to carefully jump towards next one without risking getting too close to Zavok.

Also the whole deadly six thing looked like homestuck.

The difference with those games is that you can't just grab your health back after you get hit.
I hope Sonic Mania has a cool final battle.

The problem is that Ian writes on a slow burn. He plans out shit well in advance, so he'll end up introducing characters and concepts only to really do something with them several issues, if not several arcs, later. Unfortunately for him, both versions of the comic ended before he could really do anything he was planning for them.

That's a difficult question to answer. He has so many cool ones. I guess I'd have to say Metal or Omega.

It was also almost an exact copy of the Nega Wisp Armor fight. Lost World felt really fucking lazy in a lot of ways.

ive been fiddling around in my head for some time with some ideas for a reboot of the comics, like a complete reboot back to the sonic the hedgehog 1

so there'd be 2 comics, side-by-side
sonic the hedgehog: rebooted
sonic universe: rebooted (or some other name)
after each sonic the hedgehog issue would come a sonic universe issue; sometimes they'd tie in, sometimes they wouldn't, and the sonic universe issues would generally not focus on sonic

does someone have that lore copypasta involving the (G).U.N. stuff and robotnik's arrested development? if so I ask someone posts that

anyway, heres the setting:
every game before heroes(except shuffle), as well as rush, riders, their sequels, shadow the hedgehog, and unleashed happens, though they don't HAVE to go exactly they way that they do in the games, but they should at least base the adaptions off of the games

SatAM setting, the freedom fighters AREN'T a thing, they live in a tiny country which is almost exclusively inhabited by animals and isn't called knothole(but will be referred to as such in this post), rotor and antoine generally stay in a city where the castle is, bunnie goes off fighting stuff sometimes, rotor provides support for sonic with gadgets and other technological stuff, and also helps bunnie in that way who goes off doing her own thing, usually closer to home(enabling sonic to do other stuff) while rarely being seen by the reader, and sally stays in the castle with nicole, which was a gift from some god, almost all the time doing political stuff, and her dad is in the void with ixis for the first 30 or so issues, and chuck is cut from the comic, or he'd just work with rotor
sally likes sonic(though with plausible deniability) but not vice versa; sonic has no love interest at any point during the comic, and nicole is sometimes given to sonic for limited amounts of time

sticks from boom is in the comics, but as a baby who doesn't really do anything but does get older as time progresses; her dad is a hardcore conspiracy theorist who knows what G.U.N. is up to, almost everyone doesn't believe him, including sonic

sonic's parents are in the comic, and his dad is still a robot(and fought in a war), who doesn't come back to knothole until hes rescued maybe before the adventure adaption
amy's parents live very far away(and aren't seen by the reader) and isn't introduced until CD; sonic still doesn't like her
tails doesn't know where his parents are and generally is around sonic, even when out and about; he also lives with sonic and his parents

G.U.N. plays an obvious role in the comic starting from at least the 5th issue, though it isn't necessarily more than a small one early on; G.U.N. is secretly antagonistic, but sonic doesn't find out until the part of adventure 2 where him and the other playable characters see robotnik's grandpa's video recording in the final story, around which point it is also revealed in the comic that rouge is, well… secretly rogue, and not even G.U.N. knows about it

while ixis and the king are in the void, the king over a few years convinces ixis that being evil ain't so great after all, so ixis turns into an anti-hero(who is perceived as a villain after he gets kicked out of knothole) after he gets out of the void, and also generally ends up opposing sonic because he gets in his way
ixis in the span of about 20 issues discovers that G.U.N. ain't the good guys that they seem to be after all, but noone believes him and gun ends up going after him

downunda is cut
far east is majority-human, and is barely ever touched upon; espio originated there, but was trained by humans
alternate and parallel universes are cut, the special zone doesn't count and stays, and blaze's dimension is an exception
dulcy gets cut, dragons dont exist in the comic
Mobius is combined with Earth(and named Mobius), the miracle planet is still there
cat country is cut if penders would be an issue, so would the wolfpack be cut in that case
gregory st john isnt cut, theres still an acorn secret service, and the owl guy is still there too, but rarely seen by the reader
wild west is cut
the arctic isn't cut
underwater freedom fighters(from pre-SWG) are cut

babylon birds are still there, and exist even in the first issue, but aren't even touched upon for at least 5 issues if not many, many more
if it'd fit with the story from riderswhich i didn't play, but at least i read the relevant issues, the birds are in a warfaring ethnonationalist civilization that cares very, very little for species that aren't birds; they are also at odds with G.U.N., mostly because they think that humans are inferior and don't want any non-birds having authority over them

metal sonic still doesn't die in the lava trying to save sonic, but comes from it back sooner, getting rebuilt by rotor and if he isn't cut, chuck, into shard… i dont think penders would pose an issue there
mecha sonic has more of a presence in the comics until knuckles(is it him?) beats it

knuckles is still the last echinda, apparently except for tikal who is discovered in the adventure 1 adaption; they dont forget they exist after adventure 1

breezy is around, G.U.N doesn't like her because they don't control her and wish they had the complete stranglehold over the media that she does; she isn't afraid of blackmail attempts against her that are based off of lies, largely because of laywers and her media
breezy isn't exactly an antagonist, but just really wants money; she also has very good security

robotnik, of course, is still in the comic, and is the main antagonist; he acts just like flynn wrote him, except instead of cubot and orbot or however they're called, theres snivley
also robotnik's niece or whatever is in the comic in later issues too unless it'd cause an issue with penders, and shadow discovers her and associates her with maria as in the existing comic and she lives with shadow with G.U.N, who shadow works for

bark and bean are around, working as mercenaries; so is fang, who almost always works alone

blaze is still around, so is marine; they typically stay in their home dimension

so in summary you've got these characters:
good guys:
sonic
tails
knuckles
shard(rebuilt metal sonic which overcame its programming)
bunnie(infrequently focused on, doesn't go that far from the castle)
rotor and maybe chuck(who don't go out and about but provide support with gadgets and such when called for)
amy
rouge
that owl guy in the secret service, who is very rarely seen or heard of by the reader
nicole the computer
gregory st john
the chaotix and ray the squirrel(he is a squirrel right?)
blaze and marine, who aren't introduced until rush

anti-heroes:
ixis naugus
shadow

antagonists:
G.U.N., but they keep it secret and sonic doesn't find out till late into adventure 2
Omega; robotnik's robot who breaks free of its programming on day 1 because he did it wrong and goes to work for G.U.N.; becomes a good guy if G.U.N. is ever defeated
Dr. Robotnik, who is never referred to as eggman by anyone other than sonic
snively, who is robotnik's assistant
the babylon birds
metal sonic II, who isn't controlled by robotnik, who made sure this one doesn't break free of its imperative of be better than sonic

other characters:
sticks' dad
antoine
breezy
robotnik's granddaughter or however her relation is(not maria)
E-102 gamma, which is pretty much a lone wolf that is rarely sighted
big the cat, hes usually just hanging out with his frog with a fishing lure in the water; gets barely any panel exposure
the walruses in the arctic, including rotor's parents
humans, mostly one-off characters
underwater mobians; pretty much the ones from the existing post-SWG comic, but not the ones from the pre-SWG comic

maybe theres some stuff im missing but thats mostly what ive thought of so far; guess it could use another antagonist that doesn't originate from or work for robotnik

and actually i guess ill change it so bunnie generally goes adventuring with sonic
oh, and also there'd be that blue koala-looking girl on angel island and fixit too

oh right, the advance series doesnt happen either

Anyone has this on their recommendation?

Yea. Sally looks QT in that thumbnail.

Do you like being blue and running fast?

your series is dead. keep on posting and i'll start posting sonic

user I am not saying Boost games are bad at all. Where did you even get that idea? You are still objectively wrong about Lost Worlds. If anything Lost world was good looking so you option belongs in the trash.

Guys, where you watch/download sonic boom? I really want hd version of a torrent batch or something. You constantly post webms of it and you only make me want to watch it.

This review is shit. He goes WAY too easy on "Jyn Erso" (totally not Jan Ors, guys ;)) because he thinks the girl who plays her is hot. He's 100% thinking with his dick here, and it makes him ignore the numerous faults with Not Jan.

care to elaborate on her faults? He calls her boring and bland, which she is, I'm not really sure there's much more else you can say about her, she's in a bland movie with really fucking bland characters and her motivations suck. I mean at least she's not fucking rey.

She's Rey with all the Mary Sue shit taken out and an attempt made to give her some flaws. This would have been nice except the writers forgot that flaws need to be balanced with strengths, and Not Jan has none. The first and literally only action Not Jan takes is to attack people who just got through telling her they were there to break her out of jail. She spends the entire movie going along with whatever anyone else says except when it comes to her father, at which point she becomes an insufferable daddy's girl. Again, it's nice she's got flaws, but she needs strengths to balance that, and she has none. For example, she's not a good strategist, she has no knowledge of Imperial procedure, she's not as good with a gun as other members of the team, and she's indecisive as fuck, even asking other members of the team what they should be doing. Even Luke was making his own decisions and planning action by halfway through New Hope, but Not Jan remains dead weight from the beginning of the movie to the very end when, in true feminist style, she's carried to victory by a bunch of men. The only thing she really does in the entire movie is to figure out the keyword that her father used to lead her to the Death Star plans.

Damn this looks really cool, I might just buy it.

Oh boy

Chemical Plant Zone reveal

So at this point taking into account the popcorn machine and seltzer bottle I can accurately guess Mania's thing is having 20 to 30 seconds of GO FAST between every one/two-off level related gimmick set piece that are sprinkled all about the place while heavily unoriginal music plays in the background. I do admit I'm probably being a little too cynical, though.

We're not getting any more new zones, are we? It's looking like Mania's gonna turn out to be Generations 1.5.

We are getting a ton of classic zones, remixed classic zones for Act 2 and 3 and we are getting new Zones. This is supposedly a very long game according to Taxman.

Supposedly there's going to be one more OC zone.

You got a source for all that? I've seen "longer than generations" in a tweet but nothing about a third act. Either way, I'm treating any information that isn't shown in playable format with as much trust as I would to a Zenimax employee's word about what happened to Prey 2.

There's still that cathedral zone.

I think it's confirmed somewhere that Mania zones only have 2 acts.

Actually, in the "race", Sonic bulled out his figure 8 dash and beat Metal past the closing metal door. What damaged/destroyed metal was Eggman Laser that he was firing.

Well, I could see Eggman not trusting Metal and gong back to work on Mecha as a blindly loyal servant. Metal then would see Mecha as an obstacle in his way to reach "better than sonic" status, but Metal isn't stupid enough to view another synth as "sonic"

I'm highly disappointed in you all.

Only two? Huh, my mistake.

&

They were tempted add "& Knuckles" I bet.

...

We are, 40% of the zones are new, and the game is longer than Generations. I'd say maybe 10 zones, 4 new.

A cute

...

Where's the third story book game sega? You had the poll years ago

I'm guessing five new zones and at least seven old zones. The acts are all enormous, too.

I'm sure that's what they were touching on, it was just a little dab of fan service.

What were the options again? I remember hearing something about a Homer's Odyssey Sonic game.

Why can't they make sonic cute again? He was adorable in the OVA and sonic 1-3. I much prefer the short tubby sonic that's cute, but tries to be cool.

I'm surprised they're rotating sprites for inclines when they seem to be putting so much effort on the sprite work otherwise.

...

The autist in me wants this.

...

Best game in the series

Don't even try to prove me wrong

Good.

...

I'd play it.

REMINDER THAT EGGMAN DID NOTHING WRONG AND SONIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN CHAOTIC GOOD AT BEST

4 confirmed noncannon or taking place after Mania.

Agreed

It didn't have a casino stage, so I suppose that automatically makes it much better.

That would be even better.

It's a shame the storybook games were anchored to the wagglefest controls, the concept has tons of potential.

...

No joke.

...

I'll be honest, there are two main songs in all of sonic that properly scream to me "GO FUCKING FAST NOW"

This is one of them.

I miss this guy.

This fucking great

Why is life so cruel?

I admittedly laughed when I saw this in the draw thread.

7 rings in hand - backwards

...

These are cool. Did you draw these?

You know what's more proof that Sonic characters have no toes?
Darkspine Sonic is actually barefoot.

What will Mania's special stages be like?

Do you think Sonic would have survived nearly as long as he has without all the great music in these games?
I feel like when listening to these songs I am incapable of thinking of any flaws these games have, as if i'm being hypnotized.

You usually hear people say "No matter how mediocre the game is, the soundtrack is always top notch". I personally liked the SA1 version of It doesn't matter more that the SA2 version.

Probably not, the music gives the games heart. It makes the house a home. Even if some of your houses are bad, they still mean something to you because you feel something for it.

I'm very disappointed in your shit taste of comics let alone not bringing the best webcomic ever made. All of those Sonic and Mega Man comics from Archie sucked.

...

Non-official, where's the merchandise?

guess there's more work to do.

huh. Well, I personally saw it like a dog with fluffy feet; they got claws/toes it's just that because they are covered in FUR it's hard to see then individually.

This is why they all wear gloves as otherwise they have fluffy hands that get hair/fur in everything. It's why the Walrus people in Kinnikuman wear wraps on their arms all the way up to their shoulders.

c'mon, step it up.

I HOPE for the 3&k&k&k&k style of grabbing the blue spheres. I HATE the halfpipe special stages.

Silver confirmed in Forces!

Yeah sonic doesn't have stripes either, maybe he turned into egyptian pottery

I believe you're referring to the Modern Sonic portion of this?

Also Iizuka and Hoshino answer silly questions about the franchise:

archive.is/IYpLd

I can tell why they cut some of these, Midna has a very snarky persona, and the ones that were cut were ones that had concealed faces (masks and Black Mage esque eyes, or weird in general faces)

The top left face was probably cut due to being too much like a Great fairy, and elements of these designs were amalgamated into the final design.

The main concept was an imp with a mask, they couldn't use a full mask because it wouldn't allow the player to see her face which reduced emotive ability. No emotive animation, no relatability, no iconisism, less care for the character. Midna got all the porn because of her face.

Second, these designs were thrown out there likely before her character was established, she was then written as a dry, snarky imp, so she had to have a design to match. That means no alienating features, and removal of features that'd give off the wrong impression of the character.

They also had to consider the marketibility of the character, and having a simple design compared to these actually helps that.

The final design itself is serviceable, and also has loads of porn because they did their job well in making her relatable.

WHAT?

What the fuck is even going on anymore?

That's not silver you fucking wingnut
WHEN YOU OPENED THE OC BOX WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS
THIS

I accidentally quoted silver for some reason.
sonic fighters 2 is happening

Nigger, you'd best not be lyin'.

New villain's name is Infinite.

It's corrupted Tails.

That's without a doubt the second dumbest thing to come out of this franchise. I love it. He kind of reminds me of Mephiles, I wonder if that's important?

so you're saying he's /ourguy/?

Kotaku: The Villain Of The New Sonic Game Is Gamergate - And It Is Not OK

It's literally Tails.

I noticed the double-line in the infinity symbol, but that would be crazy to have Tails as the villain… then again, there's plenty of other crazy shit in this game sooooo…

Nah, it's most likely Mephiles. Probably they're going to do some sort of meta apology for 06 by bringing him back and bringing back a bunch of things that were interesting without the glitchiness and the octopus face princess.

My dad works for Sega.

I definitely predict the story is gonna take a "It's A Wonderful Life" approach where there's a dimension without Sonic and all the villains are alternate dimension versions where Sonic didn't beat them or redeem them. Metal is either the original or the alternate version where he killed Sonic.

THE ONE AND ONLY

All of Sonic Rush is a close second

Do you say Princess Toadstool or Peach?
It's the same thing.
I prefer Bowser over Koopa

I thought Chaos ascended to the heavens with Tikal.

The Avatar character is Turquoise instead of Red on the cover for some reason..

What if that villain is Rouge the Bat or her love child withKnuckles?

Only if you're a gay furry that wants to fuck him. Otherwise it's metal sonic, or classic amy

Why'd you have to make me sad user?

Hoping they justify putting Shadow with the villains in context with his promise to Maria and whatever and don't just ignore his whole previous story

Maybe Shadow thinks Eggman ruling the world is actually best for the humans? I can accept a fascist Edgy the Hedgy

Didn't Shadow kill Bugs in the comics early on?

It's probably Sonic Adventure 2 Shadow like in Generations.
