/fast/ - Sonic the Hedgehog

fast

>>4540

Everyday we get faster & faster.

Also, since SAGE is over (or almost over), I figure I could give some suggestions on what I'd recommend:

Petit Hedgehog, Sonic Chaos & Sonic Islands. There's a few I wanna get into, but those 3 games have been some major highlights of the fangame community this year, for me. Petit & Chaos are both the most excited I've been for a 2D fangame in years, especially Chaos which feels, looks & plays so much like Sonic Mania I'm surprised it's not a mod of the game itself. Petit is fun stuff too & it has a really unique artstyle which I always appreciate from fan-works. It's also a lot of fun to play Sonic, Shadow & Amy.

Islands though, steals SAGE for me. In terms of controls, physics, moveset & mechanics (like having Sonic being able to boost at top speed), it's pretty much my dream 3D Sonic title in those areas. That being said, it's not perfect. The gimmick of "collecting Chaos Emeralds unlocks certain essential moves" can be a bit annoying. But there's so much potential in the game & I really hope it sees a full release someday.

>>4542

>Everyday we get faster & faster.

Seems like it, I hope it doesn't stop. Kinda worried that it might.

On the SAGE topic, aren't you afraid of executing stuff made by random fans on your PC? It's one of the things that sometimes stops me from trying some of the games. Isn't there some precedent of people putting bad code into their games previously?

>>4543

There can be instances of this, but SAGE is pretty safe with what fangames they showcase.

I think the worst instance of any fangame was Gather Battle, which seems to (hopefully) be something that won't happen again.

>>4543

I think it might slow down as well, but we’ll see.

>>4542

What's the best SAGE game you've played, from any year?

>>4547

From any year? I'd also recommend Sonic Utopia & Sonic Before/After the Sequel.

>>4542

I assume Islands holds back abilities through collecting Emeralds so you can gradually work your movement options up through basic to more advanced.

It's really good though, super excited to see what comes from that.

>>4550

Need some more suit Sonic, he looks so dapper

>>4553

CD

Adventure 1

Generations

Is there anything that SEGA could do to make you stop loving Sonic?

>>4559

If they axed my favorite character I might lose interest, but I don't think I'd ever stop loving the franchise.

>>4561

Who is your favorite?

>>4553

S3 & K

Sa1 or '06

Generations

I'm serious about all of them

>>4559

if they axed Modern Sonic or 3D gameplay. I know Nakamura said 3D Sonic isn't going anywhere but who knows what that means. They might consider Modern Sonic to be "3D Sonic" or 2.5D to be 3D or something else. I love the Classic Sonic games and Sonic Advance and Rush but if that's all this franchise will become, then I'll lose interest.

Also if they don't quit it with the nostalgia pandering, I'll stop caring. I don't want Green Hill Zone and Chemical Plant anymore. Same with pointless Adventure 1/2 callbacks that don't go anywhere like Chaos in Forces. If they want to include them as bonuses like Green Hill in SA2, that's fine but for the most part I want something new.

I'll always love this franchise and I don't think I'll ever hate it, but I could see it becoming like Mario or Pokemon for me where I don't pay attention to it except for a month before the next big mainline game comes out.

What if the next sonic game is a forces spin off where you play as your avatar

>>4569

Accedently clicked send.

And have your own solo adventure w/ small cameos of actual characters

>>4569

I hate to be negative and a doomsayer (it ain't very original these days is it?) but I fully expect them to go even deeper down the rabbit hole they've been going. Their vision for the modern side of the franchise is pretty clear at this point. I don't necessarily think they'll go the route you describe but I don't think the alternative they'll take is going to be great.

>>4570

I admit I get kind of paranoid of accidentally doing that now that I don't have to do a captcha to post.

>>4567

They'll never axe Shadow.

>>4568

>I could see it becoming like Mario or Pokemon for me

I don't think Sega Iizuka would mind that.

But basically this:

>I'll always love this franchise

I can certainly lose interested and I probably count as having lost most of it already, but I still love some parts of the franchise and even if they move away from those parts even more, I will still love them.

Speaking of Chemical Plant, they other day its stupid tune got into my head again and I couldn't stop whistling it all morning. Dumb tune is catchy as all hell.

>>4577

I know, but I'm still afraid. You never know what SEGA's going to do next, there could be another reboot.

>>4580

I suppose they could axe his backstory, but they would never get rid of him completely.

I have like 4 threads opened

what the fuck is going on here

>>4584

Discussion, I would guess.

>>4582

That's what I'm worried about. They'd make him like his Boom version, an asshole who fights with Sonic for no reason whatsoever. I don't like that.

>>4584

What do you mean?

>>4586

>What do you mean?

fast

>>4577

I could see them removing him from the mainline games and relegating him to spin offs, side series, and merchandise. They sort of did that after 06 until Forces. After 06 he was only an important character in Rivals. Then after that he was a side character in Riders, the Olympic games, Runners, etc. and a boss fight in Generations and I think Rise of Lyric. I doubt they'll ever totally axe him but not being an important character in the main games is almost the same as dead

>>4588

The threads are fast?

>>4593

anon, what are you doing

>>4594

He's testing something.

Guess we gotta wait & see what it is.

>>4601

I literally kek'd

>>4602

Oh yeah, I always forget 8chan can use that function. You planning on drawing something here, anon?

>>4602

8chan has an oekaki function?

>>4606

Everyone should love Sonic.

>>4610

Now now, don't bully the anon. Yet.

But for real, I'd probably give that feature a shot for the place soon.

>>4610

I didn't know it either.

>>4613

Same

I unironically like this song and I also like the 06 version

>>4616

I liked all the vocal songs from Shadow's game.

>>4617

T-that's okay too.

>>4619

Good anon.

>>4616

It took me a while, but I've grown to appreciate some of the Shadow tracks. Pretty solid OST for the game, especially some cool vocal themes.

>>4610

s-so how do I use it? is it an extension? I'm not used to 8chan. I only know 4chan

>>4616

Magna-Fi > Crush 40

>>4621

This. I even like Almost Dead and the cut vocal tracks.

>>4622

Have you ever speedrun a Sonic game, /sthg/?

kek

https://twitter.com/TailsChannel/status/1037442793986252800

The movie has been called a reboot. Is it time to panic?

>>4641

What, you mean you weren't already panicking?

>>4637

Bad rat. No smoking!

>>4648

Oh, that's pretty neat.

>>4648

Weird, but cool.

>>4652

Yes

>>4652

Yes. SEGA needs to let him and the others back in the comics.

>>4655

We'll probably see them back in a IDW Classic comic series.

>>4657

Love this deer

>>4656

We probably will get a Classic comic instead of a Universe book.

>>4659

>Classic comic

I'd be cool with that, if they're allowed to use the likes of Hooligans, Honey etc.

>instead of a Universe book

B-but an IDW Universe would be kinda neat…

>>4659

I hope not. A Classic Sonic series would probably have even more mandates than the regular one.

>>4666

Given how well IDW's been selling, I kinda hope we get both, tbh. Or at least do a yearly quarterly comic based in the Classic universe, like a yearly Mega Drive.

If they made a Classic Sonic comic, would the characters even be allowed to speak? Classic Sonic didn't talk in Generations but Classic Tails did and then no one spoke in Mania Adventures.

>>4669

They were allowed in the Classic issues of Archie & according to Ian, the mandates haven't really changed much with IDW, beyond the segregation of characters.

So they could probably talk.

>>4668

That'd be great.

I NEED Classic characters with their Modern versions in IDW!

Sonic is slow.

>>4674

Go to bed Shadow

Considering the sales current IDW issues and late Archie issues, do you think the difference of ~50% more sales in favor of IDW is justified, that is, that the comic is that much better?

>>4666

Do we know if they consider her Classic?

>>4676

IDW apparently has higher sales than Archie ever did, period.

I wouldn't say it's because Sonic is more popular, but maybe because there's a bigger dry spot with the games not giving much story and all of that, and this style is closer to the SegaSonic! style.

>>4676

I think the increased sales are mostly due to the fact people actually know the comic exists now. It was plugged on the Twitter a couple times. Some gaming journalists talked about it, Tangle, Rough&Tumble, etc. With the Archie comic, no one ever talked about it except for Mega Drive.

>>4676

It makes sense to me for now. It's still brand new, marketed and pushed decently by SEGA, starts from #1 instead of trying to carry over the large number, and is more games focused bringing in fans who were put off by the previous series while I think most older series fans are still reading for now too.

I'm curious to see if it sustains it's sales. Right now it's riding the high of being new, but we'll see if it has the longevity.

>>4681

It's both a backup and an alternative place to post.

Also, technically /fast/ existed for the 4chan exodus a few years back, but it didn't really work out back then.

>>4680

Yup, holding decently steady.

There's an active moderator on here that can delete unsavory posts, right?

>>4686

>>4687

I think I can delete my own post if you want me to

>>4687

There's a BO that's seemingly keeping their eyes on what's going on here. Don't know who they are, but they seem to be a bit of an /sthg/ oldfag so they probably know a lot about both here & the /vg/ thread.

>>4676

Supposedly, there was some stuff for Archie Sonic that wasn't accounted for when it came to sales, but IDW has been doing incredibly well so far. I think a lot of it has to do with factors like it having proper advertisement (not that I blame SEGA for not being on the best of terms with Archie after Ken's lawsuit, but some promotion after the mid-2000s would've been nice), starting fresh with a new #1 & it being closer to the games makes it easier to access for newer fans. I can't tell you how many times I saw people interested in Archie talk about how they had no idea where to start given the long-ass list of STH issues, as well as the countless side comics over the years. And of course, older comic fans are probably still keeping their eye on it.

We'll see how things keep up, though.

>>4688

I think anon may have just been asking in case some shitposters try to stir up trouble here. Not related to your specific post.

>>4684

Manic's alright. Really, he & Sonia were about the only things I sorta liked about Underground.

Well, that & the kickass opening theme.

>>4699

Cute rodents

>>4695

I really, really like his 70's punk motif and the fact he's a kleptomaniac making him more morally gray than most characters in the series.

I feel like Scourge was based on him to an extent.

>>4686

Well that's what it's like for now.

>>4708

Good night, sleep tight!

>>4706

I'd probably just take how he was in Archie tbh.

>>4718

As usual with all forums and communities in general. Every time it gets bigger, I mean EVERY TIME, the quality of discussion lowers and more stuffy, retarded little cretins come through and want to start arguments out the ass.

The only way this can be prevented is thoroughly vetting everyone who passes through or at the very least putting down STRICT moderation.

>>4706

I think Archie/Mania kinda has the right idea. He's capable of being a powerhouse but at the same time he's different from the likes of knuckles & even Bunnie because he's a pacifist who doesn't wanna fight unless he's pushed. Pretty cool idea that I'd like the see the games tackle in a character & who better than Mighty? It also makes for some nice interaction between hotheaded characters like Knuckles.

>>4708

>>4705

Night anons, sleep well.

>>4719

It's unfortunate, but yeah bigger communities usually head that way. Especially on imageboards like these. I do hope if we grow (hopefully), we can get a good set of moderators.

>>4720

>>4713

Yeah, I like how Ian wrote him in the Archie comics as well. I always thought Ian had a tendency to write characters with interesting concepts but miss the mark with some of them, or not go experimental enough with their characterization. Still, time constrains and all of that. But you know, that's just my criticism in general of him, he tends to be someone who plays it on the safe side and doesn't stray much from conventional story telling and plot devices & characterizations.

Personally, I love the concept he gave to Mighty. That Mighty is a pacifist because he has a dangerous temper and superhuman strength. I want to take that concept and get more fearless with it. What if Mighty is like that because his rage was out of his control at a point, he was in some kind of war or conflict with an opposing side, and had to do a lot of things he regrets in the future? What if he still very high irritability and can be triggered into berserk mode but not only defending friends, but also to himself if pushed VERY enough?

It sounds like too much but I just really like discussing these characters. I miss doing that.

>>4725

>I just really like discussing these characters. I miss doing that.

Oh, don't get me wrong I know how you feel. It's always fun whenever I'm able to actually discuss concepts & ideas for characters or hell, just flat out discussing the character we already have in the games & how we feel about them.

>>4681

Look at this thread and then at /sthg/ on /vg/ at this moment and tell me then look remotely similar. No one here is talking about buttplugs or how passive agressiveness makes you gay.

>>4732

Looks pretty trustworthy.

>>4542

Sonic Islands was ok, but had some shitty controls, and the fact that your camera gets jerked to nearby enemies when you unlock homing attack was BS. And when you say Sonic Chaos, are you talking about Sonic Battle of Chaos, that MUGEN clone? Cause that was complete shite. I haven't played Petite Hedgehog yet though. What's it like/about.

>>4735

Nah, this Sonic Chaos.

Good morning all.

>>4719

>or at the very least putting down STRICT moderation.

That would be a shame, because it runs the risk of going full NO FUN ALLOWED and that would ruin things, it's just much more fun to have a more relaxed kind of community where people respect the community itself naturally rather than at gunpoint (kind of like it is right now)

I got to the same conclusion a couple of years ago on /sthg/, though, hence why I came here, but I hope everyone understands the concept and that in order to make things different and not end up being the same, not all people and not all kinds of content can be allowed. I get very uneasy saying that because it sounds very much like censoring and like something opposite to the imageboard spirit, but I have no idea how else to keep things from going to shit.

Having said all this, dealing with the most obvious of shitposters sounds relatively easy, but beyond that somehow dealing with low qualuty posters appropiately sounds much harder and difficult to properly accomplish.

>>4721

Well, fortunately we can now have more options regarding moderation but I have no idea how we'd pick more mods given how we're all anons. Fortunately it's not needed at this point and I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there, but I do ask myself that question sometimes.

>>4729

>>4725

I love it and you have no idea how happy this thread made me. I missed stuff like this so much.

>>4741

Morning, anon. And yeah, it's something we can probably handle as the /fast/ community gets hopefully grows. In the meantime, we can just enjoy the current pace of things.

>>4741

I guess the other thing is to weave some kind of particular atmosphere to the community where shitposters have a hard time penetrating. Establish a certain sense of community spirit and make the other anons look after each other and whatnot, so they don't reply to b8, they encourage swift reporting & ignoring, ect.

A few communities have been able to do this but it's possible and can happen. Some things have to happen early on, though.

>>4741

You're welcome! Honestly one thing I hate about discussing things in /sthg/ [and other places really] is that people are adverse to the idea of discussing anything in depth. When I used to go in Sonic communities in the 2000's, we used to do it all the time, but I guess with all the people obsessed with labeling what other people do as cringe and taking screenshots of what they do to laugh at with other people in different communities turned true blue fans off from that.

Oh yeah and I noticed pretty much all recent communities, even the ones based on discord, have large spots of people straight up refusing to discuss anything and just lurking. What's with that?

>>4747

>I guess the other thing is to weave some kind of particular atmosphere to the community where shitposters have a hard time penetrating

/sthg/ was like that in the beginning, but I guess things got more relaxed in time. Having a community aligned in what they want is important.

>>4747

>people are adverse to the idea of discussing anything in depth.

I think there is a point where there can be way too much depth. I think I remember a few cases on /sthg/ of people discussing really dumb things in great depth and in great length where it became really fucking annoying, and at that point you just want it to stop. It's hard to tell if it's just shitposting in those cases.

>>4748

Lurking is comfy. I do it a lot personally.

>>4751

I think that was a well known Sonic fandom member called "Sparky" doing that in most of the notable cases.

>>4748

Some people just like to view from afar. I lurk a lot of other Sonic communities, but rarely post there. This and 4chan are pretty much the only places I actively post.

>>4756

Not to mention, some like to lurk so they can really get a feel for the place before posting. I've done my fair share of that in other communities.

bumb

>>4758

>actually lurking more to learn about a place before posting

Things would be so good if more people actually did this.

>>4758

That's good, but what about people who have been there for several months up to a year who never post? I have no problem with lurkers but it becomes a problem when it's 80% of the community.

Did 8chan die for anyone else?

>>4769

>Emerl

Re-watching the Japanese version of Sonic X & being reminded of Emerls story in Battle has really made me grown to appreciate him. He arguably has one of the better stories in the series, behind Gamma at least.

>>4770

It was pretty slow when I tried to post >>4769

>>4770

I wonder how many people played and beat Sonic Battle.

>>4769

I want the games to acknowledge Emerl. And Chip.

>>4774

Runners acknowledged Chip.

Does anyone think the hate for Sonic is nowhere near as bad as it was in 2012-2014? Is it because of gamegrumps?

>>4776

Part of it is from the series having games that weren't as bad as Sonic 06 on a major scale & the fact that stuff like the Sonic twitter (for better or worse) gives the impression that SEGA can poke fun at their fuckups.

There's still a lot of work to be done, though. Despite not being as bad as 06, games like Lost World & Forces have really struck a nerve with the fanbase by disappointing a lot of people. Hopefully SEGA can improve on the titles going forward.

>>4776

I think hate has turned into just sadness.

>>4776

I think these days it's mostly indifference rather than hate.

>>4777

>Part of it is from the series having games that weren't as bad as Sonic 06 on a major scale

What about Rise of Lyric, or Sonic Boom as a whole?

>>4780

What is happening here?

>>4781

Sonic getting bullied

>>4781

I think Sonic got pushed into some water.

>>4783

It's kind of a shame that the HBHs are basically dead. I haven't loved a series of bots this much since the E-series bots in SA1.

>>4785

You don't think they could be brought back?

>>4785

Did we have any new bot series that had any kind of personality or importance in the series besides being simple badniks after the E series?

>>4786

I think we could see something like the HBHs, but I'd be pretty surprised if they just came back in a future title. If anything, I could see the Mania Team trying different ideas for Heavies, or doing something else.

I would be cool with them being used again, tho.

>>4787

Does Orbot & Cubot count?

>>4789

I love their designs, so I would love for them to find a way to see them again too.

>>4790

Yeah, I love 'em too.

Eggman should sabotage Sonic’s racecar in Team Sonic Racing.

>>4792

But how? Blow it up, mess with its design?

>>4793

Painting over his sponsors' logos on his car so that he can't get paid, forcing him to leave the competition because of lack of funds.

>>4797

It's crazy looking back on things now that we know how history plays out.

>>4797

Didn't Ken once say on his site that SEGA own all the shit he made for the comics?

>>4804

It's highly likely true

>>4804

There was a screen capture of that doing the rounds.

Speaking of Penders, what has he been up to lately? I think I haven't heard anything from his deeds in like a year, and in that period of time I'm sure he has done plenty of rage inducing actions. I think he was at a fan convention not long ago? How did that go?

I just realized Amino Apps is where all the new Sonic fans hang out

>>4818

I'm on and off again on the app, but I just can't take using it.

So I found this,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18JhLhIiOPE

What do you guys think of it?

I can tell the animator put a lot of passion into it and the animations themselves are not flawed, but I am not a fan of the artstyle or the shading. The humor is decent, though.

>>4821

Relatable, this one time I used the voice chat and at least one adult joined and the rest were kids. I asked

>do any of you buy the new comics

Every one said it's a waist of money and then this one kid went on about having a plush collection

>>4822

I saw that on paradox's seconds video and I think it's cute, but espio looked really weird.

>>4810

I have my doubts people would come up with good material, but worst case I could just ignore them. I get the feeling they'd be bullied regardless though.

>>4818

I honestly had no idea what that was until now.

>>4823

There's nothing wrong with having plushies!

>>4823

I would buy Sonic plushies, yeah. I only have Mario plushies for purposes.

>>4828

Yeah, they probably would. That's one of the reasons communities are so closed off these days, faggots obsessed with shaming other people and putting their material in their cringe folders. God I hate them.

>>4826

Remember what, anon?

>>4831

What would those purposes be? Come on, you knew we would ask.

>>4833

Roleplaying with a """friend"""

>>4834

You sick fuck just kidding, I was actually thinking worse.

>>4832

Mighty. He's not as hard as Knuckles

>>4835

like what?

>>4809

I haven't heard much of anything at all. Maybe people learned to stop giving him attention. That or he's done nothing worth noting about.

>>4818

The hell is an Amino?

>>4838

>Maybe people learned to stop giving him attention. That or he's done nothing worth noting about.

Hah, I wouldn't count with either of those things ever happening. Specially the latter one.

Does Shadow listen to Led Zeppelin?

>>4841

Shadow has good taste, so yes

>>4841

Shadow probably enjoys dad rock, yeah.

>>4841

We need to go edgier.

>>4850

no, but I might send one to IDW's staff

God dammit, is the site farting for anyone else? I want to post dammit.

>>4847

Oof

>>4856

It's been acting weird, yeah. Hope it gets its shit together.

>>4864

Ugly rat

>>4864

Why does Shadow always go for the blonds?

>>4866

Ultimate taste.

>>4866

Repressed sister/mommy issues.

>>4865

Take it back.

>>4871

I like Toei Sonic a lot more except for the shoes

Do you still have faith in Sonic Team to make a good Sonic game again?

>>4873

Not unless Kishimoto gets fired or demoted and Sega stops pushing Christmas deadlines

>>4873

Not really.

>>4867

Mad man.

>>4870

Not a million years

>>4873

Can't really say I do…

>>4871

I'm not a fan of either

>>4871

Cute bois. I kinda like the Toei in this pic more, but Mania Sonic's got some nice shoes

>>4881

Welcome aboard, anon! Things are a bit slow as some anons are sleeping, but hopefully you enjoy your stay.

>>4881

How did you find us? And welcome!

>>4885

I'll always have some love for Sonic Heroes first 3D Sonic game I ever played & all, but yeah, it could've used some polish. Mainly the controls being a bit more tight, as well as the whole "play through the game 4 times to get the last story" thing, which I wasn't big on in SA1 either. But even then, the game had some pretty fun stages & the level themes/music are still pretty high-tier for me.

I kinda wish we got level themes like Hang Castle/Mystic Mansion & BINGO Highway again, tbh.

>>4881

Hi, anon. Hope you enjoy /fast/

>>4885

I wasn't a big fan of the execution, but I will always say that the team gameplay was the best way to handle multiple playable characters and I would love for it to return proper.

>>4885

its soundtrack is kino

>>4885

It's been getting faster, but you're still going to need to have patience if you're used to 4/sthg/'s speed.

Heroes is… definitely not a favorite game of mine, lol. I liked that the rails seemed to be more polished than on SA2, though not anywhere near enough. And I remember thinking that Knuckles' attack was the coolest shit. But I don't have a lot of good things to say about the game otherwise. Generally, I think it took the franchise in the wrong direction, and having to replay the same levels so many times is just unacceptable.

Making you replay all those stages was very unacceptable, I agree.

>>4889

Favorite Heroes track?

>>4892

Bump is so fluffy

>>4894

Time to shave her then.

>>4895

Why would you do that, bully

>>4893

Not him, but I always loved Power Plant.

>>4896

To make her embarrassed and laugh at her, of course.

>>4898

That's really rude, please don't.

Had a dream last night where I was at high

>>4900

School and Dreams of Absolution was playing on one of my friends headphones

>>4885

Honestly, I haven't played it in some three years but I didn't like it re-playing it. The stages were too long, I hated the team system mechanic, the having to kill all your enemies to progress through the stage was a fucking chore as well. I remember getting it for Christmas or somewhere around there either a year it got released or a year it came out. I liked it then because I got to play as my favorite character (Amy Rose) but was thoroughly annoyed at the team mechanics and stage level progression engineering. I remember trying to knock out the rest of my 2 team members because I wanted to play it by myself. It was a little disappointing, tbqh.

I remember being vaguely frustrated at the fact Fang, Bean, Bark, and Mighty weren't in the game. Hell, I'm frustrated at it now. I liked their original idea of putting Mighty & Ray in the game along with Team Hooligan instead of what we got now. I really, really hate Team Rose's set up too, with Big, Cream, and Amy. I think Big should have been replaced with Rouge at least.

Also I re-call this has to be the latest Sonic game released (in 2003) I actually played. I didn't care for Shadow, dodged 06, didn't even try the other games maybe except for Riders, I didn't even care to play anything that wasn't the Classics or Adventure until Generations came out.

>>4902

>I didn't even care to play anything that wasn't the Classics or Adventure until Generations came out.

Same case here except I played sonic 2 a bunch

>>4903

Man, I remember rotating between Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic SA2, some Sonic 2, and all of their hacks.

>>4904

I'mma share you a secret

the first and only time I beat sonic 1 was on the GBA port.

Oh lord,

to be fair I never attempted to beat Sonic 1

do you guys wish Sonic Team or the writers of the IDW comics would do more unconventional storylines, plot points, and team-ups?

I would like to see a story where Amy goes on a long journey by herself and meets new villains and old friends along the way. She needs that sort of character development I think.

>>4906

It's sad but true. Although I might play the original version someday

>>4915

Sonicfag? What kind of small bumfuck town does he live in where people are autistic enough to say that out loud? I graduated in 2016 in one of the biggest cities in the US and I was never picked on for liking Sonic, ever. I even saw some kids with Sonic backpacks in my school and this was in 2014-2016.

The rest is cute, though.

>>4902

>I think Big should have been replaced with Rouge at least.

That wouldn't make a lot of sense, plus what would you do with Team Dark then?

>>4907

At least in the case of Sonic Team, that's the least of my concerns. They should first write a normal story worth giving a damn for. Regarding the comics, I'm sure we'll eventually see everything you mention once things are more settled down.

I was talking about

>unconventional storylines, plot points, and team-ups

by the way. I doubt any one character outside of Sonic would get the attention the story you mention would need.

>>4917

Shadow would have stayed dead or been the final boss :))

Or at least throw Amy in with Mighty and Ray. Idk. I just don't like her with Cream or Big all that much.

>>4918

Unconventionality is normally an attention grabbing interest for most readers who are drawn to a particular story, like S3K or the Adventure series. They've been too run of the mill lately, even Forces was predictable as shit.

>>4919

You think SEGA mandates prevents some characters from doing certain stuff?

>>4920

>Unconventionality is normally an attention grabbing interest for most readers who are drawn to a particular story

By going unconventional they would appeal the most to a reduced part of their clients, and at this point I doubt that's what they want to do.

>They've been too run of the mill lately, even Forces was predictable as shit.

I agree completely, but it's not necessary to do something unconventional for it to be good. Unless you mean that a god story would be unconventional because the stories we usually get in the games are shit.

>>4920

>You think SEGA mandates prevents some characters from doing certain stuff?

Maybe, but I was more so talking about what I mentioned above. Not everyone is interested in some characters so giving those characters a lot of focus is something they'll probably avoid, at least until they do other things first.

>>4921

So, how do you suppose they write a good story? The key would be consistency and character development, of course, but also, there should be good character interaction and some unexpected things happening in the story which catches the fan interests. Sonic fans were never too big on predictable storylines, I think.

>>4922

>modding Mighty into Mania

Oh yeah, I remember that. Kinda funny, considering Mighty's now in the game.

Also, I haven't really messed around with character replacement mods but I've been looking for a good Amy in Mania mod. Maybe I haven't been looking at the right places, but I've yet to find one that suits my needs.

>>4925

I'm thinking I should make one but I haven't even attempted to mod a sprite replacement in since two thousand fucking seven lol

Oh yea and I think most of the sprite replacements are amateurish as hell. I think the people doing mods now seem to have no experience and no polish at all

>>4926

Oof, that's been a while. But if it's something you wanna do, go right ahead.

>>4924

The things you mention sound good to begin with and are things current stories lack. Hell, just making the stories make sense and have some fucking cohesion would make miles of difference.

This is funny but it also makes me slightly irritated people put more effort in meme mods

>>4931

If they had a better idea for a mod, I think they would do it, but they probably don't so they just do a meme mod.

>>4935

nice

>>4935

Neat.

>>4935

Hey, good work.

>>4939

>>4938

>>4937

>>4936

Thanks, guys. If only I had enough talent to make it a full spritesheet lol

>>4943

She's quiet.

>>4943

I can't stop loving her

[Spoiler]I forgot about tangle after I read issue #8[spoiler/]

>>4943

Her debut issue was pretty solid & she has a cute design.

Hope we see more of her in the future.

>>4947

>Not knowing how to use ** for spoilers

BULLY THIS ANON

>>4943

She's a cutie and I'm interested to see where her character goes.

Hey hey. Another thread hitting the limit.

>>4949

Now that's a nice bullying pic.

>>4951

Sweet

>>4958

Not really, but I still didn't want her to be eradicated from existence like now.

That model is pure lewd.

>>4958

I miss everything from the 2000s

I think we need new bread

>>4971

I was just looking for the thread to say that.

>>4971

>>4972

Agreed. Have some new bread: >>4973
