http://archive.is/fX7DB >IDW Sonic the Hedgehog! In the second arc, Sonic has been affected by a technology virus which is slowly turning him into metal! However he can keep the virus at bay by literally running as fast as he can… So it seems like we may have a spoiler on what the next IDW arc is gonna be. Thoughts?

>>7153 It sounds interesting. I like that the comic is diverging from the games more and starting to do its own thing.

>>7153 >>IAN FLYNN YOU ARE A BRILLIANT PUN MASTER!!! Sonic literally has a medical condition of Gotta Go Fast! I hope this is just paraphrasing from the author. It better not be called that in the comic

>>7153 Will it still be tied to the Forces setting?

>>7157 What would be not a Forces setting? No mention of a war in the Sonicverse?

>>7157 Forces is about to stop mattering pretty quickly I reckon. The longer we go away from it the less any elements of it will be mentioned.

>>7158 Actually showing areas that don't look like a country ravaged by war.

>>7160 Oh so Green Hill Zo- I mean, Sand Hill Zone and notChemical Planet? Or should they just go back to Planet Wisp or Lost Hex? Cuz that's all Modern Sonic has for the 10 years that's passed. If only I could expect made up locations for Sonic and co to venture through, but SEGA says it doesn't belong in Sonic right now…

So the guy who made the Chao Garden left and they apparently don't have the source code. Will we ever get the Chao Garden back?

>>7162 If that poll is to be believed, yes. They could easily hire someone who can program another chao garden.

>>7163 Isn't it really complicated, though? I'm afraid they'll just half-ass it.

>>7163 And I bet you it's going to be shit. Even that Chao Resort isn't as good as the original.

>>7153 Sounds like something that would be fun to write. It may also be an opportunity for other characters to be used more predominantly. I just hope it's better written than what we've had so far.

I hate Sonic! He's stupid and slow and he smells like ass!

>>7167 Ass is good dumbo

>>7161 Use Unleashed locations like TSR is doing.

I don't see it happeing. Unleashed itself has no place in Colors forward Sonic. It only got the same reference stage in Generations as is TSR, and the other other is Cool Edge. Maybe that comic for TSR will get it, but I doubt it will feature anything from Unleashed that matters. (Chip, Gaia, Humans, etc). I'd rather they stop rehashing old shit too personally, and rather they make up new locations, but again, SEGA's retarded.

>>7171 >>7170

>>7173 Poor Amy

>>7167 Fortunately for Sonic, he's loved by a lot of other people.

>>7151 (OP) He looks like he's in pain.

Sonic World has a great Chao Garden.

>>7167 found the E.G.G.M.A.N.

>>7177 Functionally, right? Cuz last time I seen it I hated how unpolished it looked. The charm of that minigame was how the chao animated. And imo, modern Chao look disgusting somehow.

>>7179 Yeah

>>7151 (OP) don't stop, doctor

>>7162 Unless there's some weird legal issue (which to my knowledge there isn't), there's nothing stopping SEGA or Sonic from making a new chao garden. It's up to them to decide if they want to design and make one. Losing the source code probably wouldn't matter, since they would likely start from scratch regardless. >>7164 I doubt it's that complicated, but they could definitely half-ass it.

>>7185 Was Bump a mistake?

>>7186 She's harmless, so no.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxnqppg35Ls Is he right?

>>7186 You're a mistake.

>>7191 Rude

What are some Sonic games you anons never completed?

>>7193 Played a good bit through it, but never did finish Colors.

>>7193 If we're talking about 100% them then all of them. I started trying to get more completion in the later ones since they were easier and they didn't have that much stuff to do outside of the main stages, but I don't think I've had enough patience to get all collectibles in a game so far. I think closest I've come is Gens.

>>7193 Colors. It's so boring. I beat Sonic 2 but I never did a run where I actually got all the Chaos Emeralds legitimately. Likewise with CD. I beat it plenty of times but never got all the time stones.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p63mp5seKbc

>>7197 Progress is really coming along. We're really gonna have a playable emulated Unleashed soon.

>STCO had an issue amy was almost gang raped, and one of the characters was bean i can't just get over this holy shit

how did they get away with this

>>7200 >Ken Penders-Writer Yeah, that explains it.

>>7200 >>7199 Why must Sonic comics be so damn weird?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6QCWbJB60k >Richer colors >Sonic actually absorbs the green hues from GH unlike in Generations >Higher contrast of light vs shadows MY DICK. GIMME GIMME GIMME

>>7197 Damn, not bad at all. It's not perfect, but it's getting there man. Did they mod an Infinite silhouette on the upper left corner? >>What GPU do you have? Will a GTX 1050 Ti do well in Sonic Unleashed using Xenia? >I don't think , My GTX1070 run it like that , and my 2nd GTX1080 Run it better so I guess you Can run it but with less fps Well, I mean it was silly to think that my 6 year old GPU was going to be even close to running this but it's sad to actually know it for a fact. >>7203 It looks really saturated. >Fatal crash intercepted! Kek.

>>7204 >Did they mod an Infinite silhouette on the upper left corner? Yeah, guess they did that just for fun >It looks really saturated. And well, I can see where you're coming from, but here's the reason for that. This video proves Unleashed does have real time lighting, the problem was doing the ambient occlusion, pic related, in real time was too tasking for what was already tasking having the real time lighting with Sonic's ~300mph speeds work without lagging with too much detail was on screen (see adobat). This is where the misconception of when Sonic Team said it had "baked lighting", they were talking about those areas where light didn't get into the cracks of geometry to make it look really realistic, which is where the artists for the game came in. In Generations, they removed that process by making the light source white instead of a "sun" light yellow, making the environment look not so saturated at the cost of making the lighting look dull not as realistic. Shadows also took a hit, as they darking the hue value in exchange of using artists to clean things up some more for realism sake. Hence the dull highlights in Generations and darker shadows as well compared to the more illuminated Unleashed. In other words, the modder ripped Generations' GHZ straight into Unleashed, with none of that prebaked AO shading since they didn't do that in Generations, and thus, makes the zone looks over saturated. Only when someone goes out of their way to add in the extra custom AO texture for GHZ in Unleashed, then it would look much better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_BZQumhHTs Does anyone here know if SA1 custom stage making was a thing for a while now? I heard its breakthroughs came through quicker than SA2 did, but I wasn't sure if SA1 crack the code for it by now. If not, this video may be implying another breakthrough…

>>7207 >SA1 custom stage making Huh, I thought people were doing that ages ago. Pretty cool if it's seeing some breakthroughs though, the more breakthroughs people make for the Adventure games the better, imo.

>>7206 I think I remember you from /sthg/. Missed you, fag.

>>7209 Actually I know who you're talking about, but sadly I'm not him. But I'm like a twin, since we both love the background work behind that game than most do, and I'd always favor wanting another shot at that kind of Sonic game, just for its elements, over just wanting "SA3" or "Chao Garden" because just like those elements, not having some of those Unleashed pasts too would be such a waste. Also that Maria is precious, thanks anon

>>7206 >the stylized cartoon 3d model I forgot what that method is called but I'm familiar with this Why doesn't Sonic do this for its 3d models? Would be dope.

>>7210 O-oh. Well, nice to have you here too.

>>7211 Dunno the name myself, but I agree. I fucking love how cartoony that style is & I think the series could benefit greatly from more models in that style.

>>7209 >Why doesn't Sonic do this for its 3d models? But anon, they did before. cough It's called Sonic Unleashed cough For real though, if you're referring to Sonic and co's models, yeah Night of the Werehog was a good starting point. >>7212 Thanks anon.

>>7214 Oh yeah Sonic Unleashed but I mean for anything after

>>7216 Hey, nice stuff. You made it yourself, or you found it somewhere?

>>7217 Found it https://www.youtube.com/user/dumbsvillechannel

>>7218 Ah. Still good stuff regardless. >>7219 >That Super Bump Bless EpicTones

>>7215 Well sadly, it's called passion and budget. If you wanna see more of that, go check out the Mario and Sonic Olympic games, namely the last 2 ones we got a while ago. That team is mostly composed of the team that made Unleashed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLVLXJhC5cs Oh hey, I just happen to come into this video in my feed and noticed this shows exactly what I was talking about with my comment earlier about the ambient occlusion in Unleashed thing. Go to 1:13.

Night /sthg/

>>7223 Night, anon.

Morning /fast/ What do y'all think of TSR possibly being delayed & what do you think/hope it means for the game?

>>7225 I hope it means that marketing department gets more time to actually start advertising the game. Seriously. It's rarely mentioned on Twitter. I think it's been almost 2 months since we got anything new about it. The trailer barely has a million views and was put out in between two Mania Adventures episodes which got 2+ million views each. No one knows about the game and they keep overshadowing it with other things. If TSR is actually good and it sells like garbage because of Aaron and the marketing team I'm going to be fucking pissed

>>7221 >The only Sonic girl with a feminine body type is a "femme fatale" anti-hero/dark type I wonder what kind of message that sends out to girls.

>>7229 I thought nothing of it. I understand you want Amy to have a curvier body, but she's 12 and this is a kid's franchise. Seriously. There's much more important things you could be obsessing about, like the state of the franchise as a whole for example.

>>7230 >I thought nothing of it Then you don't have much of a brain outside of that. All the girls with curves and large breasts are portrayed as thot or evil types because men fetishize them and other women think it's "unrealistic". It's one of the many archaic functions that ST won't let go. >and this is a kid's franchise So why does Rouge exist?

>>7231 >unrealistic This is a franchise about a blue hedgehog who runs fast and beats an egg shaped man. Everything is unrealistic. >So why does Rouge exist? She was made at a time where the target demographic was young teenagers. Notice how they've toned down her curves and pulled up her breast plate?

>>7232 What? Not my personal judgment, obviously. >where the target demographic was young teenagers. Yes and Sonic was better at this time because it had more fandom interest and better themes in the stories overall. And S O U L. >Notice how they've toned down her curves and pulled up her breast plate? Still curvier in comparison to the other Sonic girls and still curvy in the games where the useful sonic team works on. I don't know what impression you're getting from me but I'm telling you whatever you're thinking isn't it, chief.

>>7225 I'm fine with a delay as I probably wouldn't buy it with it releasing within a stacked release window like that.

>>7230 Not that you're wrong about that, but using your post against you, the fact the OCs of Froces look like samefaced shit and that being one of the biggest complaints towards it, especially when every other custom character maker in the universe still can have a body shape slider, yeah, no, it is a big issue when it comes to the designs of Sonic characters. 12 be damned, that's horseshit, real 12 year olds have tits. It's not about porn, it's about making characters appealing. Right now for example, everyone on /co/ is flipping their shit over how masculine the new She-Ra design looks, and that goes back to how neither OC character in Forces look any different from each other. Amy used to have curves, and they were very modest next to fat tats over here. Having Rouge the literal only character with any female form is sexist and also very shortminded when you have ~9 females in the games, and only 2 of them are underage 10 years old. It singles out Rouge, and guess what, you can't even have a thread about her without it going to shit. Maybe if everyone else was variety enough, Rouge wouldn't get so much attention brought to her. TLDR<, Sonic design is as important as the gameplay and argubly the story to some, and if it wasn't for Sonic look cool and hip back in the 90s, no one would give a shit about the gameplay. I mean, most 2000s era Sonic fans don't themselves because of the games they seek to defend for themselves.

>>7235 > Right now for example, everyone on /co/ is flipping their shit over how masculine the new She-Ra design looks, and that goes back to how neither OC character in Forces look any different from each other. There's something intensely irksome about this view of women and their bodies. They think censoring the physical traits women have as "family-friendly" which sends a very poor, and frankly sexist, message to women. Girls who have curves and any breasts bigger than an B cup just see themselves as "normal girls" like every other girls do, but in every media the vast majority of female characters who look like them are seductress, femme fatale, or villainness types. It comes to the question why can't the "normal" or "good" girls have those body types instead of the types I listed? People scream "REEE MUH PORNOGRAPHY" as an excuse are full of shit. It's a matter of sexual dimorphism. Men with high sexual dimorphism, meaning the very muscular and manly types, are portrayed all the time, but women with high sexual dimorphism are suddenly "off-limits" or "too lewd", or "unrealistic" and "pornographic"; something said by both men and women as clearly you can see. The problem is perverted men, shapeless women who view shapely women as unrealistic or male-pandering, and men who try to appease those women.

>>7236 Yeah, I see it the same way too. There comes a point pandering towards or against the form of both men and women is bad, but just like a stereotype, it stems from reality first and foremost. Statically, in a series with ~10 female characters, 1 out of 10 of them having anything that looks feminine is ridiculous. And no, Sonic shouldn't be a kids series, it should be an GENERAL audience series, and maybe some teen rated stuff in to make him seem more antsy like in the 90s. I mean, you had pic related in what should be a "kids show" so what's the problem here? Sonic being baby tier is the entire 10 years since Sonic Colors that most of the fanbase hates right now, which is likely the ones that grew up with the series before this point, and back then, you didn't have Sonic like this, 90s or not.

>>7237 Let's be fair: Characters like Rouge & Breezie were made in the same era as characters like Lola Bunny & Minerva Mink. Anthro characters with defined body types & whatnot was kind of the rage back then. It's mostly toned down now because a lot of people started giving these characters shit for being "furry sex objects in a children's series" & it's not even something exclusive to Sonic itself. Look at Looney Tunes & how they redesigned Lola taking away most of what one would call her "defined" bodytype around 2011 with the Looney Tunes show. It's something that I don't mind in most cases, tbh. With characters like Rouge or Breezie or (extending beyond Sonic) Lola, it creates the idea that they're nothing but sex symbols for the series & serve no purpose beyond being characters people can fap too. Scaling back on their defined proportions & focus more on making them a solid character can be good in its own right. The problem is that SEGA has yet to do the "making a solid character" thing with 99% of the cast.

>>7237 Pretty much agreed 100% on you there. Sonic worked better when it was targeted for a general audience with stuff teenagers and young adults to enjoy. Ironically enough Mario is becoming like this while Sonic is regressing into more toddlerish and childish shit. It's seriously painful to see especially for me and you who were familiar with Sonic in the 90s and early 2000s. Shit like the comic mandates and the other crap is just making it more obvious to anyone who's a fan and it's becoming unbearable. Something else that bothers me is how pretty much the only leading female character that gets enough screen time is A) visibly younger than the cast B) suited around the "preteen female" or "child female" archetype and role which makes her more incompetent than the rest C) has an obsessive unrequited love on the protagonist which D) makes her entire character centered around "love" (pure) while her opposite is centered around "sex" (bad), which reduces them to nothing but lame major stereotypes, since apparently that's all women are about. I mean all the Sonic characters in the games for the past ten years are lame major stereotypes but come the hell on.

>>7239 Let's be honest now, the Sonic series cast has always been lame major stereotypes. Even beyond the games & going into the comics, most of the cast there had backgrounds/characters that were pretty common tropes you'd see all the time in anime/manga/western cartoons. I don't think it's as serious or "sexist" as you're making it to be, but the franchise up & down from day one can be listed as nothing but tropes from other media that's been beaten to death. And really, there's nothing you can do to change that, outside of just writing the tropes these characters represents in a entertaining manner.

>>7238 Yes and no, female characters with defined body types have been a thing since people could doodle women and make them walk and talk on paper. Female ANTHRO characters with defined body types have been a thing since the 60s. Ever heard of Felix the Cat? We all know it's not only regulated to Sonic and you saying this isn't making the criticism any less legitimate, since this is a Sonic board we focus on discussing the aspects of the franchise and criticizing it thus. > Look at Looney Tunes & how they redesigned Lola taking away most of what one would call her "defined" bodytype around 2011 with the Looney Tunes show The problem with Lola was that she was a femme fatale and obvious sex object type. You could get rid of the bedroom eyes and her "I'm sexy" characterization and keep the body type and nothing would change. But people don't have the balls to do that. > Scaling back on their defined proportions But why??? Do curvy women bother you?

>>7240 >you're As some anons in the past* My bad

>>7240 At least for early on in the games they tried something. Outside the games you had more. Now that even the non-game material is boring it makes it really fucking obvious

The facts are people liked Sonic more than Mario at first for being the guy with the aesthetics, deeper characters, engaging stories, ect. When Mario started doing RPGs and Luigi Mansion it started doing the same thing. Now Sonic is basically taking a step backwards in the direction the series promised to give fans in the 90s and early-mid 2000s and that's why people are so mad. Pretending it's not true doesn't make it not. Complaining about one (1) aspect of why it's turning into shit doesn't mean it's focusing to one thing, it's just an easy means to harp on something because it's the collective of something bigger.

>>7238 >The problem is that SEGA has yet to do the "making a solid character" thing with 99% of the cast. Yeah, sadly. And I honest to god liked Rouge's character in SA2 and X. Sure her motives might have been "villianess" but at her core she's actually kindhearted and friendly if you appeal to her and treat her right, like Knuckles at the end of SA2 and slightly with Heroes, and with Topaz in Sonic X. If anything, if they just made her Lara Croft the Bat, I'd be fine with that.

>>7245 I do recall that. It was nice.

>>7241 >Ever heard of Felix the Cat? Yes I have & I know that female anthro characters like that existed before, but my point is that those characters came from a certain period as opposed to now, where you see people constantly shit on Rouge for being "Boobs the Bat" & nothing else. I'm not saying those people were right to say that, I'm saying that's just how some people act in regards to "sexy" female characters. >Do curvy women bother you? Not in a million years for me, but at the end of the day, I just don't have an issue with them scaling back on proportions for characters because I don't see it as a big deal, if the character itself is still solid. >>7243 >Outside the games you had more. Ehhh, depends on which game media you talk about & what characters you're referring too. I'm not dissing any non-game material past or present, but most of them were just as guilty of being filled to the brim with tropes as the games. It's just that they used those tropes to tell entertaining stories, as opposed to just using them to tell a plot in the most cookie-cutter way possible.

>>7247 It's always about the execution and the finesse

>>7248 Yeah. I don't think tropes in of itself is a bad thing, it's what you do with them that makes or breaks it. Unfortunately, the games lately haven't been using them right.

>>7247 Jesus I just realize I said FELIX the cat. I meant Fritz the Cat

>>7251 >>7252 Sonic should be a vegetarian.

>>7253 What would a vegan Sonic eat?

>be me in a discord totally unrelated to video games or sonic >the mod is someone who makes jokes about how bad the sonic series has gotten >clearly a former fan or a fan with a love-hate relationship with the series >the normalfags in there keep awkwardly saying "lol" not knowing what he's talking about Why do Sonicfags keep doing this

>>7256 Contempt for the series accrued after being repeatedly burned over the years.

>>7257 Basically this. I suppose it makes dealing with being burned by SEGA easier, but honestly if you get to that point with Sonic, you're better off taking a full-on break from the series.

>>7254 Tofu dogs!

>>7259 You think people will still care about these two in 10 years?

>>7261 I dunno, but it's pretty wild imaging people in 10 years time posting in here or on 4/sthg/, or posting on here or there about Bump & Sage

>every fanbase I go in that isn't extremely active always has a group of people screaming "THIS FRANCHISE IS DYIIING" >recall Pokemon fandom was the same until Pokemon Go and genwunner pandering saved it >Sonic fans always complain about their fandom being dead but I have been in literally several fandoms for everything, EVERY fandom is "dead" right now except the extremely popular normalshitter stuff like Fornite or Minecraft. It's just how it is. Sonic is actually the most popular "old" fandom outside of stuff like Pokemon. Seriously. Now I will be kidding myself if Sonic ain't doing bad right now with the draconic Sega restrictions and the shitty mandates and also bad qualities of games alongside the infamous fandom shitting up its reputation to fans and non-fans alike but…

>>7261 It'll probably depend on our communities still existing by then, but considering we've been going for over 4 years then probably. Until they ban anonymous imageboards anyway

>>7264 >>recall Pokemon fandom was the same until Pokemon Go Was the Pokemon franchise or fandom ever really dead?

>>7266 That was his point, fans over exaggerate just because a series isn't how their childhood is, they think it's dead. Popularity + sells means it's not dead. People still talk and breath Sonic/Pokemon/Metroid/etc, and until that and sells numbers drop off the face of the planet, your series isn't dead.

Do you think the fanbase has gotten slower or smaller over time, though?

>>7268 I wouldn't say it's dying, but it's more spread out these days. Back then, Sonic communities extended to DA, FF.net, Retro, SSMB, SEGA Forums & random smaller Sonic forums. These days you still have DA/FF/Retro/SSMB, but you also have 4chan communities, 8chan communities in the case of /fast/, Discord communities, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Amino, etc.

>>7268 Not really slower, but smaller, yes. Most people aren't buying the official games since, well, Generations. Colors technically got by due to the Wii over bloating the numbers because the Wii was one of the highest selling consoles of all time, and Gens got double initial sales thanks to humble bundles and the modding community with the PC version. Unleashed was the last selling game to earn over 2 million sales without aided help.

>>7268 I think it has, it's still pretty popular and recognizable, but it is probably on a decline.

Question, why does every under the age of 14 female in Sonic's cast have skirts? If I'm not mistake, all the characters 14 and up have pants.

>>7272 I guess it makes them look a bit cuter or more youthful

>>7273 Well I get that, but that begs the question for Amy being 12 yet her outfit gets into very revealing situations… Maybe if they had someone Sonic's age or older wearing a skirt it wouldn't feel so odd.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGccDLHHyOE >Batman trivia at the end >Sonic and Shadow are BOTH voiced by Batman voice actors NANI?!?!

>>7272 Because Sonic Team sucks at designing girls and keeps making them all kids with irrelevant or minor roles?

>>7275 Hmm, really makes you think

Shadow is so much better than Sonic. I bet Sonic cries when he thinks about how inferior he is.

>>7278 Hey, that's pretty rude of you anon.

>>7278 At least Sonic is real and not a literal fake being.

>>7275 So Sonic and Shadow are Ratmen.

What a cute Wolf.

>>7284 I like Buddy.

>>7285 >>7284 Lame hero that needs a gun as a crutch.

>>7287 He's a rookie, give him a break.

>>7288 The only thing separating him from a common conscript is that he isn't a complete fuck-up.

I wanna cuddle with Buddy. I bet he's really soft and fluffy.

>>7290 Buddy plush when?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc6Yx-wvxio >>7291

>>7292 that's cute. I wish it was official

:3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRhDhu2Rg7s

>>7295 Thinking about it, I wonder why Forces never gave Sonic that.

>>7300 Shadow needs to pull the trigger.

>>7301 But then who Sonic would put his big throbbing hedgecock in?

>>7302 The wind. Sonic's true love.

Is it just me or is the thread having a bit more degeneracy than usual. Also the Shadow fag sure is energetic.

>>7306 Yeah cause im here and im a cockmongling faggot.

So in IDW news: >Issue 10 has been delayed to October 31st >TSR comic has been delayed to sometime in November, with no specific date given. >Evan Stanley's gonna draw parts of issue 10 >Joe Hughes has left IDW as assistant editor & Megan Brown will be taking his place

>>7308 >>4385

>>7308 >>Issue 10 has been delayed to October 31st Damn, why? >Joe Hughes has left IDW as assistant editor & Megan Brown will be taking his place I thought Hughes was full editor. Good luck to the new one, hope she does a good job.

>>7306 No, it's not just you.

>>7307 Did you get banned from 4/sthg? You used to post there I reckon. >>7308 So what's with SEGA delaying everything Sonic related now? Did they finally take the hint and is actually trying to get some quality control for Sonic again?

>>7313 >Did they finally take the hint and is actually trying to get some quality control for Sonic again? I severely doubt it.

>>7314 I can dream dammit.

>>7313 >Did you get banned from 4/sthg? You used to post there I reckon. Yes.

>>7308 Has the new assistant editor been apart of anything prior to being on Sonic?

>>7318 Couldn't find much when looking around, but she did do some assistant editorial work on some MLP comics, I guess.

>>7317 Please go back and stay there.

>>7317 Well, welcome anon. Just don't do too much degenerateposting.

>>7301 Yeah, to himself.

Mornin' faggots.

Do you ever wish you could be as fast as Sonic?

>>7325 No, it would lead to a lot of problems and I wouldn't be able to outrun them forever.

>>7326 Just be like Sonic & try to run from your problems for as long as you can!

>>7327 Man, Sonic is such a coward.

>>7330 He's just a teen. Real teens aren't brave, and just think they are grown up.

>>7325 Yes. I would also do parkour and rail grind. Super speed was always one of my favorite powers.

I'm bored.

>>7334 Go for a run. That's what Sonic does for fun!

Metal for Smash Ultimate

>>7333 Blessed image

Well, playing through Mania Mode with Mighty has revealed a game crashing glitch. Assumingly, if you hammer drop the ground when fighting the mini boss of Titanic Monarch, there's a chance the game can crash all the way up to the results screen after you cleared an act. This happened to me 3 times in a row, and only when I didn't use the HD at all did it go through into the next act with no problems. So yeah, surprised I didn't hear much about it from anyone before, but I guess by the time it could have been mentioned in a Mania thread on 4/v/, Smashfags already took over the site and 4/sthg/ hate Maniafags to not care enough to find out for themselves. TL;DR: Be warned using Mighty's move during the second to last boss of the game, otherwise expect to replay the entire level all over again.

Reminder that Crash could fucking kick Sonic's ass.

>>7339 Well, shit. Thanks for the info, anon. >>7340 Crash/Sonic crossover game when?

>>7340 >Dat pose Get that Rayman reject outta here, son.

>>7343 Sonic's dick is BLUE!

>>7339 Mighty strong and a cute. I want to "boop boop" him.

>>7345 what is boop boop

>>7337 Metal should be in every game. Best bot.

>>7345 Why is Mighty strong anyway?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaBbsgAtONo Interesting video. It honestly makes me realize I hate when Japan makes god like villains, because they all are the same shit every time and it's terrible.

>>7354 Cool deer

>>7350 >it's been Generations since I've seen you I wanted to punch Modern so bad when he says stuff like that.

>>7355 The coolest.

>>7352 I thought I was the only one who hates Eldritch God tier villains. There's a good time for them but it can get redundant and boring really fast. For example, I liked Chaos in SA2, he felt refreshing, exciting, and different. Anything after, eh. That's why Infinite was lost potential. It's why I love Nack and the Hooligans and the Battle Birds and the spin-off villains so much, you get the sense they're regular villains instead of big bads with 10000 powers and it makes it feel all the more exciting, fleshed out, and real. I also love delinquents and just general degenerate characters. For the same reason I stated. But Japan doesn't like that, so as long as Sonic is being creatively controlled by Japan for the most part we won't see those characters.

>>7358 In Adventure, not Adventure 2. MY BAD.

>>7358 Infinite needs to come back. Not as a main villain, but as a side/minor one.

>>7347 boop his nose and cuddle him because he is a cute animal >>7349 because he's adorable

>>7360 We need a lot of minor villains. Honestly having a lot of people in Sonic's world who are morally ambiguous (even so called "Sonic's friends", who half shouldn't be but are because… lolz) or even just plain criminal would strengthen the world. I have seen Western stuff targeted to kids and teenagers using characters like this but I think this is not used in Japanese stuff. I'm not sure tho

>>7361 mightys nose is pointy. if you touched it you would pierce your finger and it would bleed

>>7362 We need more consistent world building in general.

>>7365 Apparently a lot of Sonic content creators try but miss the point I was making which is like in top 10 importance.

>>7364 what if I just rub his belly instead

>>7358 To be fair, what was the last "Eldritch God tier" villain the series had? Seems like the franchise has stayed away from all that stuff since Unleashed with Eggman being the last boss in the last 8 years. And while one can blame Japan, I don't think we should forget that there was a time where complaints about Eggman not getting enough focus was a big thing. Chances are, SEGA is just overcompensating in regards to those people. Which sucks, since the Deadly Six & Infinite could/should've been final bosses in the last two games.

>>7369 Time Eater ring a bell?

>>7369 Fucc the Deadly Six, they should have been furries not monsters. we need more ANTHRO villains and neutrals, which shows yes, there are bad people that look like Sonic and his friends, and in his world, which makes it feel all the more human and exciting.;

>>7358 >For example, I liked Chaos in SA2, he felt refreshing, exciting, and different. THIS. OP of vid here, I was thinking the same thing. If Sonic needed a cthulhu monster in his universe, at least tie it to the thing that is classified as "the most powerful gemstones in the universe; the Chaos/Master Emerald(s)" and it worked. It made sense, as it wasn't like Chaos existed like this since the beginning, but mystical gems forged from the universe made this happen, instead of having, you know, this omnipotent god symbol used in EVERYTHING involving "le religion god" and just making your work seem uninspired. In fact, that's BEEN Sonic's problem since 06, if not ShTH. Every game before as at least creative thoughts with some references added in (Death Egg, Super forms, etc). But for real, Chaos should have been the only thing to have this all mighty force of power, not Gaia, not Solaris, not even the Time Eater. Just no. At least with Biolizard it was a bio weapon gone wrong and Black Doom being an ancient race of beings is something, but even he wasn't all powerful, just advanced. Having literal symbolism god monster number 5302 is just tiresome and ingenuous when considering how Sonic started as a series. Evil became an issue thanks to Eggman's influences or the misuse of the Chaos Emeralds. Onces you make your universe content other beings with god powers for little reason, shit hits the fan, and not in a good way.

>>7370 Fair enough, but that was controlled by Eggmen

>>7369 The D6 should never existed, period. And Infinite isn't the problem, it's how Eggman Ganondorf'd the ending. Make both of them be the final bosses, Infinite was basically Metal Sonic for this game so treat it like so. If anything it make it seem like Eggman sent him away for failing him, but they never clarified that.

>>7325 All the fucking time

Imagine being as fast as Sonic, but not have the stamina and conditioning to run very long without being out of breath.

>>7376 Sounds awful

>>7378 Not as awful as actually being a blue rat.

What if Sonic decided to be a gayhog?

>>7380 I imagine if Sonic ever does get interested in romance, he probably wouldn't care about the gender.

Let's say SEGA makes a Sonic fighting game & anyone from any external media can be in. You get to choose the roster, who would be in it? >>7379 Fair enough. Metal blue rats are better.

>>7383 Might as well get everyone in. Maybe have some characters be alternate skins with the same moveset where it makes sense.

>>7383 Rayman as 3rd party And maybe Shantae as well In house SEGA 3rd would just be Nights and based Vectorman Everyone else from Sonic's Modern Cast and you're done.

>>7381 tbh this. Chill your shitposting in non shitposting forums please

>>7389 I need to get around to start playing 06.

Anyone like this ship here?

Does anyone here still play around with Generations? Or did you just say fuck it all and just mellowed out of the Sonic gaming races? I still find some fun out of it, although Mania still wins me old heart more.

>>7391 Literally who

>>7393 Neither. I still like the games and Generations specially, but I've played it so much that it's become kind of boring.

>>7395 Any reasons why? What about suing stage mods? I'm in the process of getting Water Palace added in.

>>7394 Look it up halfchan nigger.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckFkGSR1nlA Ok, installing.

>>7396 Probably because it's too short and linear, so there isn't a lot to explore and replay. I've played the Unleashed mod, what other decent stage mods are there?

>>7399 Well I just played Water Palace and Final Rush, and although I found WP interesting, it's very linear. Meanwhile FR is honestly pretty good being open, and it doesn't even use any railing 90% of the stage. If anything I mostly like it better than the original one, but atm, I'm still getting my feet wet. Imo I think what gets most people with Generations is dealing with the fact half the game is Classic Sonic and he honsetly just sucks when Mania exists. I mean, the Classics existed too, but modern times reminds us what's better to root for. And I'd like Generations more if it didn't have anything Classic styled in it, and just had modern re imaginings only. But I digress, that's what mods are for. I'm going to keep looking for some more, cuz I'm more interested knowing what other past stages got the Final Rush treatment, because playing it like it's the Adventure era instead of boosting through it is honestly more fun, but would be better if non boosting Sonic didn't accelerate so slowly.

Morning /sthg/ >>7398 The Generations modding has always amazed me. I don't think there's any Sonic game past or present that's managed to keep itself alive for so long off of the modding community alone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tCtkPbb1gE Well, shit, The guy doing video related tweeted this out: https://twitter.com/ObanSempai/status/1051400782287949826

>>7406 >A non Sonic fan can still make a better Forces than Kishimoto Team can Really makes me think…

I dare anyone to be in a bad mood while listening to the Sonic Heroes theme.

I've been sick for a week and a half guys

>>7411 I hope you get better soon anon. Go to the doc if it's not better by the end of the week.

TAILS HELP ME!

>>7414 >Fastest thing alive >Doesn't even move out of the way when not!Shadow tries to kick him Sonic is weak

>>7415 He's such a bitch.

>>7415 I would not be surprised if there's a mandate that says sonic need to be cooler than every other character in the franchise except for shadow

>>7417 Well that was exactly why the OCs couldn't in Forces. And imo, that should be the case like the classics, too bad Modern Sonic isn't cool though.

>>7418 modern sonic used to be cool

>>7419 Yeah, if they just stuck with Unleashed, things wouldn't be so bad now.

>>7419 >first appearance is "AWW YEAH THIS IS HAPPENIN" For like a month, maybe.

>>7423 That's cool for 90s Fresh Prince Bel Air audience, it's aged like milk now of course.

Slow like Sonic.

>Spent an hour trying to get a good run >most of it was due to game/controller fuck ups Meh. At least that ending made me smile. https://mega.nz/#!JEMwQaYS!3G0UtsymBBGB7r3W0F0zJcWxwQl3GflLb0KUSumZU3k Wished you could embed webms that are too big, but oh well.

>>7431 How's this? That map looks pretty fun, even though I'm not generally a fan of maps so abstract. Seems to have a good variety of obstacles, though the camera gets wacky at times.

>>7433 Nice wizardry skills, anon, though I wish the audio was kept but I figure it would be too many bytes to get it to post, so no biggy I suppose.

>>7434 The audio is there, anon. Did you set default volume to zero in options? Try setting it higher in the embedded webm player.

I hate how Amy was paired with no one in the 30 years in the future Mobius thing. You're telling me with all the males in Sonic you couldn't find at least one? Amy's too fucking cute to be a single cat lady.

>>7435 Oh, oops, sure did. I didn't enough know I did that somehow. Well then, thanks alot anon, it doesn't even look that much lower quality than the original one itself. How did you do it?

>>7437 >Hyper Sonic Why wasn't he in Mania?

>>7438 Likely was Troo Far for Iizuka. I mean we didn't even get true Super Forms with any of the other characters besides Sonic.

>>7437 I honestly didn't do anything. I just let Webm for Retards handle it. I only set it to target 16MB of max file size, keep the audio, and enable high quality mode and double pass.

>>7436 Amy is pretty neurotic and aggressive, even at her best. I personally like that about her but I can see why people wouldn't.

>>7442 eh, some neuroticism [that comes from excitability and energy] and aggressiveness in women can be forgiven or seen as attractive when it comes with a certain type of personality. A lot of men got a thing for feisty women especially if they're the chill and feminine types. I know personally

>>7400 I never had a problem with Classic in Gens or 2D in Modern.

>>7406 Nice music.

>>7445 Well that's ok, I didn't care at the time Generations was the only modern example to compare, and at the time, I thought the team was on a good stepping point in going back to recreating those physics again, but another thing I didn't expect was Kishimoto taking over the series with his inferior Colors engine… But now with Mania, I cannot play Classic Sonic anymore, I indistinctly want to roll/drop dash/etc and expect solid results, but I don't get them and I get pretty mad. It's honestly why I'm glad there are mods that focus on Modern to give him more time to shine.

>>7436 I assume she killed herself after she truly lost any chance of winning Sonic.

>>7438 Iizuka doesn't like Hyper forms and claims it was nothing more than just an unlockable.

>>7450 And much like Super Forms, it should only be an unlockable easter egg power up, only retards want it to be lore canon.

>>7449 she realized sonic wasn't worth the fuckin trouble and jumped ship to a better story

>>7452 Is tails dabbing?

>>7451 fuck you, half of the classic "lore" is already uncanon anyway. let me get what i want

>>7454 He think he slick

>>7458 Who's gonna eat Sonic, Shadow & Silver?

>>7459 A masochist since they're still spiky.

>>7459 Highest bidder.

>>7461 Would any of you anons bid on them?

>>7462 Hedgehogs probably taste disgusting. No way.

>>7462 I've bid on cartoon hedgehogs in the past, would bid again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw5qzfXQKHc SEGA for the love of GOD, please get this man on the Mania Team pronto.

>>7465 Noooooo let him remain free. We don't need another great thing stolen from the community by SEGA.

>>7466 What? What is the fanbase going to be making games for free and not getting payed for that shit? This is why we need the fanbase, so more of them can bring Sonic's fame back where it belongs.

>>7468 Silver has a stupid haircut

>>7469 Rude. Silver is cute.

>>7472 I wish that they

>>7473 fuck I mean I wish that they kept making more wallpapers like these ones

>>7469 He needs to get a haircut.

>>7478 if you add the numbers you get 6:66 so it's probably just some stupid spoopy halloween thing. Or if they're timestamps then 6:66 is 7:06 and who knows what that's supposed to be. Or maybe the next one in the sequence is 5:55 because it's the Fibonacci sequence I don't know . It's probably just 6:66 for Halloween

>>7477 Why isn't this real? As in, a hint for more Mania Team content

>>7479 Aaron did mention that he's getting somebody to do some Team Dark Halloween art, so we may be seeing a teaser to some Halloween stuff

>>7481 He did? That's fucking awesome!
