>>32909 The recent Sonic Channel art has been really good.
>>32911 Tasty
>>32909 i just realized its mystic ruins in the bg
Maybe it's just that I'm a coward who doesn't know how to take opportunities >>32911 Sonic Channel art is always good, unless you count the 3D renders
>>32909 my husband chuckles has such beautiful eyes
>>32914 >Sonic Channel art is always good, unless you count the 3D renders You're right. It's just that the more recent artwork has seemed especially high-effort. I'm disappointed they replaced the 2D artwork for the character bios with those 3D renders.
>>32916 Yeah they look like dogshit and they removed the profiles for some of my favorite characters. I'm still upset too
>>32918 I heard they only removed the profiles for those characters because they didn't have new renders for them. That's really dumb if it's true.
>>32919 It's even dumber because Hardlight and Roblox have new renders for them but they ignore that apparently
lanolin's breasts...
>>32920 Probably because the Hardlight renders look better than the ST ones.
>>32921 Are they real or are they made of wool?

>>32923 They also used the 2006 model of Mephiles instead of the Shadow Generations one

>>32924 Yes.
>>32924 headcanon is it's all wool.
>>32924 real wool
>>32924 Real but also extremely soft
>>32930 to the point that it's kind of weird and unsettling
I'm feeling like shit. This is affecting me way more than it should, but I can't help it
>>32932 What's wrong chief?
>>32933 Lack of Krack gf
>>32933 I don't want to go to 4/sthg/ at least for now and there are multiple good reasons why I probably shouldn't, and this place is unironically better anyway at least right now, but there's something that I want there, and that's been troubling me. I don't know how this situation will be resolved
>>32937 What did you want?
>>32937 There's nothing stopping you from using both.
>>32939 I'm not so sure about that. First off, I'm clearly stopping myself for one
(11.21 KB 374x583 1666641250299.png)

>>32940 Then stop doing that.
(252.52 KB 455x455 image-138.png)

Just go or don't, it's not that important.
>>32945 You guys have browsers that can open multiple tabs right? Just check on the one that interests you at the time. There's separate conversations always going.
>>32945 Yeah I know but it feels important. Even if I'll sleep, it will still be like this when I wake up. I need to find a way to stop obsessing over random shit like this all the time, it's kind of killing me in a way Sorry for my stupid autistic venting
(239.32 KB 2400x2100 1689215472865900.jpg)

>>32944 Okay.
>>32946 I'm already doing that (well different windows, but still) that wasn't the point And the current state of 4/sthg/ right now is particularly sad since most of the activity is just Duofag talking to himself trying to push a narrative
>>32949 Yeah I agree with that, seems like he had to go to bed though
I'm confused what's going on with the booru link so I want to get /fast/'s take on it Did all the artists actually move here and away from 4chan or am I being bamboozled?
>>32951 No, that's Duofag trying to push his narrative against artists as usual.
>>32951 >am I being bamboozled? yes
>>32950 I'm still here, I need to sleep but I won't be able to for a while still
>>32952 >>32953 Okay so there's no reason to take the booru link out of the 4/sthg/ OP? It's just duofag being annoying or something?
>>32951 >>32955 Stop trying to follow drama posts, let me tell you from the perspective that has been the topic of it more than a few times, 100% of all of it is made up.
>>32955 Correct. In fact, the links in the OP need to be updated. The new general links whatever is https://rentry.org/sthglinks not the old outdated pastebin
>>32955 He's been ban evading and seething here since the hack because the board owner exposed his samefagging. For some reason, he thinks it's the drawfags' fault. He also blamed them when he got banned from /vg/ for avatarfagging last summer. Just ignore him.
>>32958 I already suspected that most of the posts antagonizing random posters were him, and when he came here it became immediately clear.
>>32956 I just want to be 100% sure because if the drawfags really did decide to leave I'd respect it but if it isn't then I'll just put the booru link back into the OP next thread If I'm still around next thread that is, I'm not exactly a regular But since it sounds like it's just duofag, I'll just ignore him, thanks for explaining it
>>32955 The OP of that thread is probably Duofag, who got banned from here and hates the booru. The booru has its own problems regarding ownership, but the thing about all the drawfags leaving is shitposting by Duofag the Shadally AIfag to push an us vs. them narrative.
>>32961 >probably More like definitely
>>32961 Doesn't he hate the booru because he got banned from that too? Can this guy just stop doing shit to get himself banned everywhere he goes?
>>32961 >The booru has its own problems regarding ownership Again? I thought that shit got fixed after the last time.
>>32964 From my understanding, there was a rogue mod who was fucking with posts, but he got demodded. I don't think there's an ownership issue considering the rule page was updated back in December.
Duofag trying too hard.
>>32945 >>32950 I'm retarded anyway, there's people like Duofag who intentionally try to be as annoying as possible and constantly get banned while I try to be considerate. Maybe tomorrow I'll just make the post I want to make... Probably not, I'll waste all my time being indecisive again >>32963 I'm surprised there isn't some alternate booru where he puts his AI stuff
>>32966 Let's... discuss Sonic, /sthg/ is nothing but duofag sitting in a room by himself complaining about drama. Why is Marine the best character?
/fast/? More like /duochad/
>>32966 >without permission >>32968 She's alternate dimension Tails, and Tails is the best character, so naturally Marine is the best character by extension, she's the other side of the best character coin
>>32968 I like that her pigtails are shaped like boomerangs.
Yeah, Tails definitely benefits from riding off of Marine's coattails I agree. >>32972 Mm, yes yes, this is valid too.

Maybe I'll be controversial with this but there's nothing wrong with wanting and appreciating positive attention if you're not an obnoxious moron about it. Or giving it.
good morning from... evropa
>>32975 so cool
>>32975 I'M THE CHOSEN ONE You're being such a teasing bitch. You earned it.
>>32976 We've stop discussing it, it's not very interesting.
>>32977 Good morning >>32980 Yeah you're right sorry
>>32088 Holy shit it's true, the new ones are so much better.
>>32982 The newest one looks better. All the other look like the Sonic 4 Episode 1 title screen... which was okay for Sonic 4 Episode 1 I guess but why were they still doing that over a decade later And the new renders on Sonic Channel STILL aren't good
marine WAR
marine genocide
Marine water balloons?
Marine milk balloons
>>32924 Lanolin is the flattest Sonic Character, even flatter than Blaze, but she hides this by growing out the wool on her chest.
>>32983 The crappy, awkward renders always bothered me because they can otherwise make Sonic look really good, and I love when they do.

I was kind of mad at the anons saying they like /fast/ better than /sthg/ but after a few hours of being back I'm starting to see their point. Maybe they're making the thread shit on purpose to drive a wedge in between us though.
>>32999 That's more or less what some of them trying to do (or a single guy samefagging as usual), but you should be where you wish to be comfortably.
>>32999 difference between 8/sthg/ and 4/duochad/ is night and day.
>>32999 I am just tired of all the bullshit 4cuck plays all the time so i decided to stay here until death occur, there's no way i go back besides lurking and have to interact with destructive autists. They're all a dying breed anyways, most active board on 4stat i /vg/ and only get 50 posts per minute, the site is a shadow of its former now that /pol/ niggers know other places to express their shit without getting banned.
>>33003 Based Tangle taking the opportunity to smack some fat milkers.
You know I am curious on the general perception on which voice actor fits Shadow more. Personally I like Jason Griffith's just like I prefer him with Sonic's. He sounds a bit whispery but wise, and he got the personality down of somebody who's gonna kick ass. The rest are alright but while Keanu is cool, his voice is too deep. Thornton I'm not exactly too thrilled about.
>>33003 any drawfags and aifags here I beg of you please make a comic style accurate version of this
>>33003 Does lanolin deserve this much?
>>33007 Have you been keeping up with the IDW comics? She deserves way worse, if this was Archie she'd probably have just been outright turned into a villain by now
(1.17 MB 2274x2448 soon.png)

>>33008 if this was Archie Lanolin would be the one catching Mimic's knife through the boob and to the heart saving Whisper gotta atone for all that Lanolin did the past issues it's enough of a distraction for Tangle to grab Mimic and for Silver to cast Testicular Torsion and Mend Buttcrack on Mimic

Hi /sthg/... Hopefully today will be fun.....
>>33015 I hope you have a good Saturday
>>33007 It's people venting their frustration of the comic's writing onto the character while conveniently leaving out all other factors and events that led up to it
>>33008 Not him, but I stopped reading the comics awhile back. What did she even do besides embarrass Whisper and SIlver?
Behold, the ultimate Sonic character
Whiteboard is up >>33021
>>33015 more or less...
>>33025 What is this from?
>>33005 I prefer Shadow's original va from SA2. Griffith Shadow is fine but it's where Shadow's voice actors started to force his voice deeper and it just doesn't sound natural when compared to his original va
>>33005 I don't dislike any of them, but Griffith is also my favorite.
>>33005 >>33029 I like his English SA2 voice. It might just be because I like his writing in that game the most though
(316.15 KB 510x680 240.png)

So will you guys stay here for real?
>>33033 I'm using both.
>>33005 Humphrey will always be Shadow to me. I will say that I'm disappointed in Keanu's Shadow as I had hoped he could do better >>33033 Yes. I see no real positive in being on 4chan compared to here if I want to discuss Sonic
>>33033 Here: no spam and bait posting There: spam and bait posting I stay here
>>33033 4chan keeps telling me i am banned then when i look into it "you are not currently banned", so i guess i die here. Some people will do back and forth between 4chan and 8chan but it's the same stuff of the splitted threads and the majority of traffic stays on 4chan, although i think this place is better. Btw /fast/ is the bunker. Some samefagging dramafag got banned multiple time during the week so he won't stop shitting about /fast/.
>>33033 At least for now I am, I don't know what I'll do in the future. Activity here is slower (and our moderator isn't fond of "excessive crush posting") outside of dedicated threads but the activity here in the past 11 days has been much nicer
>>33040 >Btw /fast/ is the bunker. Some samefagging dramafag got banned multiple time during the week so he won't stop shitting about /fast/. That's what I don't get. Everybody knows that /fast/ is /sthg/'s backup, so why pretend they're entirely different communities?
(2.99 MB 1485x2048 275.png)

>>33040 My Tailsbro got banned for absolutely no reason a while ago. I knew about this place but this is the first time I'm checking it out. /sthg/ returned but it's just duo and sparky so yeah
>>33043 Why pretend anything? That's all Duofag does
>>33043 Because we ha e very committed dramaNIGGERS
>>33045 Fair enough.
>>33044 Too bad, we had very nice conversations here, all because the moderator removed samefags. Take a look to the other thread, it's much less aggressive and more fluid without troublemakers.
i meant the other threads with the bump limit we still have on the board.
>>33044 I was seriously enjoyed our conversations back in March. I'm glad I got you to come here, I missed you
>>33051 Me too! What was the reason for your ban?
Also since I was less active in the threads I've been drawing again, this time putting in more effort. Most of the stuff I did in Krita that I wanted to post in the threads still isn't done yet because I keep starting new stuff instead of finishing what I started, I'll post them in the drawthread here when they're done. But at least I did a little Tails on the whiteboard last week, and I'm trying to do something now as well. >>33052 "Ban evasion", which I didn't do. So I appealed the ban saying I didn't ban evade, and that I would go to back to the same behavior if they removed my ban. They removed it, so I did exactly as I said, and I got banned for "ban evasion" again. I'm still supposed to be banned but it doesn't matter, I'm not posting there regardless at least for the time being. I also don't like the fingerprint stuff revealed from the leak, which is another deterrent from posting, but I'm not surprised
(847.35 KB 923x1699 316.png)

>>33053 Damn that sucks. I'm also a little iffy about using 4chan after the hack since the site seems like it's held together by tape. I've been drawing on Krita as well, though it's just original characters, not Sonic related. Anyways I got a bunch of new Tails fan art. I found this Korean artist on Nitter that made humanized art of Sonic characters. It's cool because I've been trying to find good human Tailses for a while
>>33053 >"Ban evasion", which I didn't do. So I appealed the ban saying I didn't ban evade, and that I would go to back to the same behavior if they removed my ban. They removed it, so I did exactly as I said, and I got banned for "ban evasion" again. Nta but... i have the same problem as you, I'm starting to think it's that shit spaghetticode. It keeps banning me for "evasion" from time to time, expecially when i post pics.

(347.44 KB 2021x1405 FvVIecQagAErzgK.jpg)

>>33054 Yeah I guessed so. I would like to draw original characters too once I feel more comfortable. But also this is one of those periods I can mostly just about Sonic, plus I feel like this is simpler Also cute! I like humanizations. Preferably cute ones like that, but I don't mind seeing different takes either. What's the name of the artist? >>33055 Oh interesting. Pretty sad if the code is so broken that it randomly gives bans like that
>>33055 Nearly everyone I know who has also used 4chan has received an unjust ban, especially on /vg/. I don't think it's an issue with the code, but an issue with the moderation.

>>33056 well, now i got the confirmation. >>33057 I wouldn't say it's always unjusted ban in my case, but the last ones causing me this mess with the ban system was indeed unjust. >I don't think it's an issue with the code, but an issue with the moderation. They're both extremely flawed, even someone like me who knows very little about programming understood how shit the code is. Everything i had to do is to open and witness how they handle word filters without any sort of function to ignore casing, that is enough to give me an idea of what faggots works on 4chan.

>>33075 You get used to it. Also helps not having to navigate through 9999 posts not worth reading. But I've also bitched at the admins for years to incorporate more features for easier reading and posting and they would be nice. Lots more movement now and some new motivated people, so maybe we'll see something eventually.

We live in an age where those kids you feel bad for can pull a phone or tablet out of their pocket and download more games with better graphics than you'd ever dreamed possible at their age. Kids these days are happy, but boomers like you can't accept that because they're not happy for the same reasons you were or think they should me. My son doesn't have to wait until he gets home to play Sonic the Hedgehog, he can play it on his device in the car, at Taco Bell, with mods, with other people online any time of the day. You should be jealous of kids these days old man, not sorry for them. They're definitely not jealous of you.

>>33233 I think they're satisfied rather than gone. They got Generations, the remakes, Mania, and so now Superstars felt excessive. Which makes sense considering the whole point of the "Classic" branding is to avoid originality for the most part. I would like another "classic-style modern game" like SA1, Heroes, and the GBA/DS games. The more lighthearted style that they tend to associate with Classic nowadays. It would also be nice to have a "serious" Classic game, something like the OVA, but that seems unlikely
>>33235 There is no satisfaction if you're a Sonic fan. If being satisfied was ever the case, then classic fans would never have wanted a Sonic 4 when Sonic 3 & Knuckles exists.

The early stuff is a lot more enjoyable knowing the world would eventually become its own thing and mostly drop the whole, lets be a Forces tie in comic. The Metal Virus is actually pretty great when you don't have delays killing the flow and making it feel like it's dragging on forever. It's taken a bit but I think there is enough meat on it to really sink my teeth into. And kino to crap ratio is much better that let say Archie.

Are the Rivals games any good? Whenever I see gameplay of them the graphics look kind of bad and I never hear anyone talking about them. Are they so bad that nobody plays them or are they sleeper hits like Rush Adventure?
>>33300 They're not great. Being PSP exclusives didn't do them any favors either.
>>33301 Does the PSP emulate well now?
>>33302 I've heard PPSSPP still has some issues, but I've never tested Rivals out to see for myself.
>>33303 Oh well. Maybe I'll check it out
>>33300 The Rivals games are ok for the most part. The gameplay is the two-player vs mode from Sonic 2 with the addition of an attack move like Sonic Wind from SA2. Take any ridiculous fighting game story and then crank down anything interesting while keeping everyone at max retard mentality to justify any fights and you'll have what the Rivals games offer. In other words, they just don't have much in the way of any standout strengths. You'll see very small glimpses of things that could be fun but those are few

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_jaBNq8_V4 This video seems to treat it as a joke, but I feel like he was onto something, at least some of it has to be intentional because certain things just line up and the Sonic series, especially SA2, is no stranger to this type of background storytelling. I don't think all of the video is valid, but there are some interesting points, and the fact that it's a "black market" was always weird, so it would make sense for there to be some kind of background explanation. Thoughts?
Speaking of emulation, how hard is it to set up and play the storybook games? They are some of the few Sonic games that I still haven't played yet
>>33324 Who cares bro I might go back to 4chan one day when they actually upgrade their security and hopefully bring back the IP counter but that's unlikely to ever happen
>>33327 I haven't played them yet either (I should really get on that, I always thought they look and sound amazing) but Wii emulation is pretty easy. If you have a Wii controller you can also literally just connect it to your PC and the Dolphin emulator is already set up to make it work as it should with no extra effort required
>>33326 >black market Japs tend to use words because it sounds cool but not entirely accurate to what they're describing. One such example is Samus being called a bounty hunter or how the Resident Evil franchise mixes and matches various terms to describe special forces

Also, iirc Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast didn't have the Black Market, it was made for SA2. Then they ported it back to SADX without much thought, so the apparent background lore doesn't apply to SADX. None of the new content in SADX was well thought out though, anyway.

>>33346 It's a checkbox here. Speaking of checkboxes, I still don't understand what "Bypass Check" does.
>>33349 Idk theres still people who maintain their animal crossing islands, i feel like there would people who would play chao garden
>>33352 I'd even expect a standalone Chao game to be successful. But I'd prefer it as a bonus mode to another game.
>>33341 Cool, they're fine, but characters keep making audible reactions while off screen, some reaction shots make me think these were made with shorts in mind, but the directing seems to struggle with it.
>>33352 That's a good point. Still think they should modernize it though. Preferably without the involvement of phoneslop.
>>33353 Being standalone would defeat the point. Plus there's a bunch of standalone Chao-inspired indie games now.
>>33353 yeah, the chao garden is best as an add on game. Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 were not very long games, but the chao gardens were a genius way to give them substantial longevity and depth. If Chaos were in forces, that game might have be 3 hours long!

So my current idea is a game, but the world, the characters are inspired by Sonic characers, but they are the chao, (They can power up, change form.) Kind of combining Sonic heroes (not the game, the concept) and chao into one species.
SRB2 feels like the perfect game for a Chao Garden. It even has multiplayer so you could theoretically show your Chao to other people and make them compete and stuff. I wonder if someone made a mod for that.

>>33449 That's exactly the point though. "Quality" isn't real in this context. No one is able to define quality because the whole point of video games is self enjoyment and people have different tastes and perspectives. "Quality" is just a pretentious word to say "I like this and if you disagree you're wrong because I say so". Or maybe objective quality does exist. But we don't have an impartial judge to define it for us, and even if we did everyone would reject the definition that doesn't maximize their personal enjoyment and perspective, so it ends up being worthless. Regardless, nobody cares about quality, it's just an excuse to pretend their opinion is more valuable.
>>33449 >glitchy at weird places >NOW LOADING and >Why doesn't Mephiles merge with Iblis in the future? >"I already know what becomes of it in the future" >Blaze It's qualities are the fantasy, and that it took itself seriously. But some people get blinded by Silver's gay love song and Shadow's batman shit from how the game is actually broken.
>>33450 >>33451 Why the hell are you talking about '06...I meant that the thing I like that's disliked isn't disliked for quality reasons. It's not even a game.
>>33453 I wasn't talking about any game or media in particular, what I said even goes beyond Sonic. I guess in the context of Sonic it's something you really only seen in fan communities like ours, but if you look at something like music you can see normies engage in that same behavior all the time. Everyone just wants to feel superior for their preferences and tries to force them on others through shaming. I don't know why but it's natural human behavior and it's stupid.
>>33453 You won't tell us what it is because we would dislike it too I assume lol

>>33523 I wanted to say it's the physics but that's too nebulous and in boost games (and some nonboost ones like Sonic 4), it became less important as sonic gained gravity boots. Personally I'd say in the case of modern it'd be a game that rewards styling and completing the stage quickly as opposed to mario where it's more about just getting to end.
>>33524 >completing the stage quickly Yes, it's this, it was always this, since Sonic 1. The classics and SA1 just do a poor job at making it clear to the player. The classic physics are a gimmick

I plugged a gamecube controller into my Switch to see if the Switch port of TSR supports analogue trigger inputs since the gas is bound to the right trigger by default.

I understand where Japanese side fans come from I get their viewpoints and why they think the way they do. But I'm sorry, Archie is just peak. It's a version of everything I've wanted from franchise from the start of being a fan. The games aren't bad at all but Archie is just so fucking good. It's serious at times, it has lore, it has cocky Sonic, it has romance in a style I like more, it's dramatic, it's just the full thing. I guess I'd accept a longrunning comic that has darker themes and more worldbuilding and deepness, but if you axed out the changed characterization and turned them into their game versions, 50% of the appeal to me is gone. I like Sonic because I always have tendency to be contrarian, probably that I think and he looked cool. Always in a partially ironic way cause the fanbase toxic, the games aren't always so good, and we're crazy but in a cool way. But Archie bridged the gap and made a source material amazing too. What do you think of the mindset that "I'll pick and choose whether to support adaptational changes based on whether I like them and they appeal to me?" I applied that to MGS for example, DBZ, early anime dubs depending on what they do, but most of the time I dislike early dubs. Stuff like that. I've always leaned away from the side that calls itself "purist" unless it aligned with what I like. What about you?
>>33616 Figures. If/when I start posting there again I might want to do something like that for real and more subtly when there's too much shitposting, but for now I should just wait to see how the situation evolves

>>33620 I think it's fine to like whatever, but it is true that there's going to be a legitimate, truer version of things and there's nothing wrong with demanding the true vision to be respected. I am definitely more towards the Japanese game purist side. For the longest time I also used to hate on all the American media but looking back that was kinda silly. Aosth looks fun and Ian and other Archie writers seem to have done a lot of cool stuff in the 2000s, and the Boom cartoon has some episodes I enjoy, so I regret being so mean towards them as a teenager. But at the same time, a lot of it is so different from the Japanese games that I like and that made me passionate about the series in the first place, that it may as well be a completely different series that has nothing to do with Sonic. That's okay, I can enjoy things that aren't Sonic for their own qualities. But if I want Sonic, how am I going to be excited for something that isn't Sonic and merely pretends to be? Archie has varying degrees of relatedness to Sonic depending on the era. Boom has little to do with Sonic. The Sally cartoon has nothing to do with Sonic. The Wade series has nothing to do with Sonic. I like Sonic, so if I'm going to be interested in other Sonic media, it's because it's Sonic, not because it's something else. If I wanted something else I could just look for something else... So pretend-Sonic doesn't get my attention as a Sonic fan and has to compete with non-Sonic media.
>>33623 I mean I don't want to spam the thread. I'm just not convinced that this >those who aren't know where to find this place is true.

Sonic discussion just kind of sucks lately. It's always the same few topics. I wish we got something new to obsess over.
I'm remembering what it was like just before Forces released. I was so hyped when the E3 trailer dropped. Chaos in particular excited me; He looked amazing. Then finding out about the avatar made me happy that my middle school deviantart dreams were finally coming true. It was a good time to be a Sonic fan. The community I was in at the time was just as pumped up. There was a lot of cool and funny fanart/edits coming out. None of us had any idea of the absolute shitstorm around the corner. I want to go back to that.

Roger Craig Smith's Sonic voice was first revealed at Alton Towers, months before Free Riders came out. https://youtu.be/0vWUjRmoIaQ?si=6CNpihEr-4kqzOQj It's kinda funny hearing how his voice has evolved throughout the years since.
(396.03 KB 567x560 GjEFYXxWcAAuQ6s.png)

As an intermediate writer, I wanna know how to properly get Sonic's character down. Is there any tips? I'm trying to expand my horizons from being an artist and want to practice another skill.
>>33673 I like Roger's voice, but I'm not convinced it fits Sonic's character. I've gotten used to it though, and I kinda hate that
>>33675 Roger's best performance was easily Boom. I can't imagine Boomnic with any other voice. For normal Sonic, I prefer him over Drummond, but I like Griffith more than either of them.
>>33673 While Roger Craig Smith is a talented voice actor, I'm not really a fan of it. It got better down the line but it just sounds a little too deep and more like Chris Redfield if the T-Virus was never made and he became a surfer dude down the line. But it's to each their own, I still like Jason Griffith's voice and I'm still fond of Jaleel White's.
>>33677 Ryan Drummond is my favorite I guess. But that might be influenced by the Adventure games having my favorite stories, cutscenes, and voice lines. I actually like Jason Griffith a lot too, especially in the games and even more so in the later games. The English dub of Sonic X sounds extremely weird and awful, like 4kids dubs in general, the weird non stop music contributes to it sounding like shit but the way the characters speak in this type of English dub always sounds stupid
>>33678 >I'm still fond of Jaleel White's Jaleel White is perfect for Classic Sonic. I wonder what it'd be like if he were to voice Modern Sonic... oh right.
>>33680 Yeah uh, that short film was alright but it definitely shown Jaleel's age. I thought it was okay for what it was worth even if it wasn't my cup of tea. Funny how this predated the movies too..
>>33680 >>33681 Lol that fan movie was so weird. I enjoyed some parts of it though.
>>33679 I low-key miss Dan Green being Knuckles but that's my Yugioh bias showing
>>33681 As a kid, I thought it was cool. It's pretty creepy looking back on it now. Did they put DiC Sonic's brain in modern Sonic's body? I'm sure it's in part because of the Jaleel voice, but the way Sonic acts feels more like Western classic Sonic.
>>33685 (Me) I didn't mean to spoiler that.
>>33685 I saw it when I was 13 iirc and I always thought Sonic looked odd, and the narrative didn't fully convince me either

That being said, I've been finding it hard to post much over there since it's come back. Every time I look in there, it's just drama and shitposting. I had an extremely brief conversation with another anon about a SA2, and that was about it. Meanwhile, I've had nice chats with anons here about multiple Sonic games, scrapped/obscure Sonic stuff, and fandom happenings since 4chan came back up. With how things are at the moment, this place is just way easier to use. Plus, there are plenty of people hesitant to use 4chan at the moment... with it being a compromised website and all.
>>33702 It's definitely silly, but with the way 4/sthg/ is right now, it's borderline unusable.

Not to mention the site is literally ran by troons. The whole place is just filled with dramawhores piggybacking off him and I'm not interested in participating in it when this place is moderated and open for use.
>>33704 I don't think there's any moderation. No surprise.
>>33702 I understand that perspective, but considering the way things are I think the idea of forcing a split is great right now actually, it's just unfeasible >with it being a compromised website and all That's concerning, but I'm even more concerned about the fact that they don't just keep your IP address but also fingerprint your device and browser and collect your information.

Btw, the entire IB universe is in decline, with 4chan being the most active just because of their history, and with this hack after no retaliation from the userbase (unlike old raids) you pretty much know it's a walking corpse fueled by addiction.
>>33723 >the entire IB universe is in decline I figure that goes without saying. The internet has become so centralized. It sucks hard. I miss forums.

>>33758 >We even had waves of new contentfags that stuck around. Exactly. The weekly whiteboards wouldn't be a thing if all of the artists had ran off. Maybe that had happened at one point, but every time I have seen someone claim a particular artist within the past 5 years had been chased off by le shcizo boogeyman, the artist in question is either still there or they got bored of the place. I think FWA is the only exception to that in recent times.
It declined when Archie died, Boom died, Mania while good brought newfags and Forces was a dissapointment. IDW couldn't fill the void, same with Prime. The movies could be considered a positive thing but some are split. Frontiers and Superstars forgotten. No Sonic media to unite the general.

I want Sky Babylon with modern graphics. Not necessarily in a racing game. I just think it's one of the best zones in the series aesthetically. Music is nice too
>>33776 I want to see a Sonic CD zone that's not just Stardust Speedway, I think Wacky Workbench or Collision Chaos could be nice contenders, or even Quartz Quadrant.
>>33783 Sucks that they always pick the same few zones. I'm not a fan of CD though so in this case it doesn't bother me too much
>>33783 A Wacky Workbench or Quartz Quadrant track would be so cool.
>>33776 Anything from CD or 06, though most CD tracks wouldn't fit the game probably lol
>>33787 >06 Maybe White Acropolis
>>33783 For some reason they only pick classic levels from the Genesis games, have you guys noticed that? Is there any other classic Sonic game with a level recreated in 3D

I love Stardust Speedway and while the former two are cool, there's like a bunch of other zones they could've used. Personally, A Quartz Quadrant or Wacky Workbench race track would've been awesome, I'm personally biased with the Bad Future version because the track fits the intensity and how cool the cities look when you pass through but the Good Future one would also work out well. Labyrinth Zone or Tidal Tempest would be interesting too.
>>33790 Sonic Generations makes me think Sonic Team doesn't fully consider CD a main series game. Same with Lost World in Shadow Generations

>>33796 You telling me space is just oxygen without gravity??
>>33794 Oil Ocean and Launch Base could be cool too >>33795 I mean CD came out on an add-on that not many people had. It was relatively obscure enough to be in Gems Collection (a compilation of more obscure titles). I honestly see if as a spin-off too.
>>33800 My OC kidnapping tails through that window.
>>33798 I'm glad they're taking things from Rush but honestly I didn't recognize it as Water Palace and they're not using its music so uhhh... Still looks cool in its own right though
>>33798 That's good news! That place looks nice anyway!
>>33800 I think that was the intent in the classic era, but then Adventure treated it like a main series title, and now Origins does too I guess. But I basically treated it as a spinoff too, and I find it to be one of the least interesting games in the series. Which is why I still haven't played it besides a demo. I probably will when I get Origins at this point
>>33794 I think they put Labyrinth Zone in that Lego game. I like how they used Lost Labyrinth music instead of Sonic 1 music iirc. Probably due to not wanting to get the rights for Masato Nakamura's music but I like the Sonic 4 soundtrack
Zones from the Advance games would be cool too.
>>33804 I think up until Origins CD technically was a spin-off. But since that game introduced Amy and Metal they elevated it to mainline status. SA1 referenced it sure but being a spin-off and being non canon are two different things
>>33807 That's fair I wonder if Sonic Team is still secretly going with their "Classic is an alternate dimension" idea while they let westerners do whatever they want on things like the Origins cutscenes or TailsTube
>>33806 I would lose my mind if Music Plant came back. I love that zone so much.
>>33808 Nah I think they got rid of that after Forces. Which honestly sucks because I liked how Forces handled the Classic-Modern split. Having Classic be just a younger Sonic sucks because now they can't experiment much with the classic games if they want to avoid contradictions with the modern Sonic games further in the timeline
Why do sleepchan hate this place?
>>33808 >I wonder if Sonic Team is still secretly going with their "Classic is an alternate dimension" idea while they let westerners do whatever they want on things like the Origins cutscenes or TailsTube I thought they went back on that after Forces flopped. Didn't Frontiers confirm that during one of the Knuckles cutscenes?
>>33809 I prefer Toy Kingdom. That was one of my favorite zones as a kid >>33810 >I liked how Forces handled the Classic-Modern split Same, I didn't at first but after thinking about it I realized it makes a lot more sense. But the reason I bring it up is that the Origins cutscenes don't match the original manuals, but Toyoda apparently said both are still canon (and Ian said the opposite...) >>33812 How did Frontiers confirm that?

>>33823 I love Sally. She's one of my favorite characters, and I miss her and the other SatAM and Archie characters. With that being said, no. A lot of changes would have to be made to her in order for her to fit in with Sonic. For starters, her entire backstory would need to be changed, since Eggman isn't an evil dictator who enslaved her kingdom 10 years prior. Her design also wouldn't work, unless they went with her reboot design, which I think still doesn't quite fit in with the game Sonic cast, but it does moreso than the IDW OCs, so whatever. For obvious reasons, the romance with Sonic is off the table too. By the time you get rid of all of that, there's not much of Sally herself left. It would be awesome to see her again, but if it's just her name attached to a someone that only vaguely resembles her character, then what's the point?

I guess it's better because the topic comes up more naturally and the conversation has a better flow, but I think in the game Tails is supposed be harassed by his hologram in cyberspace so that's how they justify it.

>>33938 Werehog was originally going to be called Evil Sonic. We did go feral/berserk in his first transformation but after being shot by the chaos canon, Chip intervened and saved him/restored his sanity, at the cost of his own energy which is why he had amnesia when they woke up. Something something sonic is an avatar of good, but without the Light Gaia Spirits direct invention, he would had gone just as rogue as any other Gaia creature.

The western misnomer is that "evil" is Japanese means inherently bad, when it's usually more of a yin yang balance thing. Dark aka Evil Gaia isnt inherently bad for the sake of being bad, it is simply a force of nature that exists to carry out a certain role. That role just happens to be pressing the reset button on all life on the planet. "Evil Sonic" doesn't mean he's a bad guy, it's just means he reverted back to a pure instinct feral from with no discernable thoughts beyond "break things". Something something his strong will + Light Gaias blessing, he was able to retain his sense of self. It's like how Dark type pokemon are usually seen as being the "bad guy" pokemon, even if they're usually not inherently bad. Think trickster spirits, forces of nature, embodiments of death, ect ect

>>33946 I see, that makes sense. I like Unleashed's yin-yang themes. They even implemented them well with the gameplay as well.
>>33948 Yeah, Westoids often misinterpret asian lore be it intentionally or ignorantly. The whole white is good, black is bad, grey is neutral is totally a western ideology. Japanese culture for centuries has taught that in all things there's is balance, and you can't have one without the other. Then Americans translate the Unleashed script and are like "we can't call him EVIL Sonic because he's the GOODguy"
>>33950 Well they didn't call him evil regardless so that's not an issue My understanding of yin and yang is that one includes a bit of the other and the balance out. Which is a perfect description of Unleashed's gameplay, since you're both encouraged to slowly explore the day stages and get good ranks (and thus times) on the night stages
>>33932 It controls like your regular lego game but a lot quicker, it's fun but sonic isn't designed for anything other than his own stages, he feels too slippery desu.
I think Blaze would be even less popular and more obscure if she didn't have a story role in a main series games, almost nobody cares about the Rush games unfortunately. As controversial as it is, that still gave her a popularity boost

>>33960 Don't for get the comics anon. Both her and Silver have a much bigger presence in the IDW/Archie comics than they ever had in the games.
>>33960 Anyone with enough awareness acknowledges that mainline games like 06 and the M&S Olympic games are (or were, in the case of the M&S games) the biggest ways to gain an audience. You can also see it in fanart that cute smiling Blaze and nerdy Silver are rampant because the M&S games were peoples' first introduction to them.
>>33961 Oh, fair point. I always forget the comics
>>33962 That's kinda upsetting to be honest, those games felt so lame to me. >What if iconic characters but it's about iconic sports event instead? I wonder how people who discovered Sonic through them feel about the characters.
