not that anon but we don't. I do think it's worth talking about though. Gaming is getting huge in China and developers want to make money on that. It makes sense for Sega to want to as well.
Japan also doesn't like Sonic that much. The sales in the US and Europe since after Generations have only been okay. The next few games won't have the incredible hype Mania did and might not sell as well. The movie, which Sega said was their "plan for revitalizing the franchise," might also bomb. If this all happens, I could see Sega trying to win over the Chinese audience. Gaming there is growing. People have lots of disposable income. There aren't too many cutesy mascot games for Sonic to compete with thanks to console sales being banned until 2015 and Nintendo screwing up with the Switch there.

It's a very smart idea now that you explained it, but at the same time, it's SEGA.
The worse thing that could come from this is if the Chinese liking Sonic in a way that everyone else doesn't prefer him, it's not like this problem hasn't gone away or anything. If only we knew if the Chinese liked Mania or at least games like Unleashed/Gens, then we'd know where to go from here.

And it's going to stop once China starts deducting good person points for playing video games too much.

Anons are mainly guessing, but many forms of entertainment have been trying to make inroads in China from big industries like movies, to niche industries like wrestling. It's probably only a matter of time before SEGA tries their hand at trying to garner a Chinese fanbase for their games & it would be interesting to see if they can get a Chinese Sonic fanbase.
I wonder what type of Sonic they would even like.

When it was created and posted in a /v/ thread. Was there from the beginning.
This place has had many iterations, but I’ve browsed here for however long it’s been up, even though it didn’t have much activity for a long time.

I have to admit, I have only been to this /sthg/ for the past few months and have never seen the 4/sthg/. Before 8chan became a thing I had kind of taken a break from imageboards, with the last time I was really into them was on 7chan back when 7track was a thing (so I am used to the slow pace, though last I looked at 7chan it was a graveyard)
I do know that for a while there was another Sonic board here, /sth/ I think, that I am pretty sure is now gone. Did anyone here ever go to it?

I started using 4/sthg/ around 2016, but I came to /fast/ around 2017. I mostly lurked though & only started posting frequently shortly before the creation of this /sthg/.
>>8731
I know of /sth/ but yeah, it's basically dead. The board is up but no one has posted there in ages.

I did. It had some activity at some point, but I never understood how that happened since this place was better known but was dead at the time. I always found that kind of suspicious. They had a mascot named Edgehog (>>1525) and I think the BO must have been a drawfag of some sort since someone was doing a bunch of pics of him. Eventually it died because of slow.

I actually knew of /sth/ before /fast/ because I think Edgehog was both a drawfag and the BO and he would shill the board in Sonic threads and drawthreads on /v/ (maybe also on /co/ in Sonic comic threads). I remember searching for Sonic in the board list and being surprised there was more than 1 Sonic board on the site and at the time /sth/ was faster and I thought this board was dead. I was hoping for something a bit faster so I didn't really go to it, but it's kind of a shame because I liked Edgehog's art and I don't know if he moved on to another site or just stopped drawing.
>>8735
Bump & Sage are top tier! I am the one who drew that goth Bump here a few generals ago. (end of September beginning of October) and I did a sketch of Bump and Sage with ice cream. I should draw Sage again. Bump is a qt, but with so many characters in the Sonic series having really bright optimistic personalities, I really enjoy the more pessismistic/antagonistic attitude of Sage. Couldn't pick a favorite. I looked through the booru and saw there is also a Bait the Beta, but I have never seen her posted here.
>>8737
I am surprised someone took it over. More surprised it still exists as I thought it was dead before Infinity.next was finally put in the ground and was lost in a migration that pruned a lot of unclaimed boards.

It seems like /sth/ did die, as almost all of the posts on that board are from 2017 & none from before last year.
Thinking about it, I also remember there being an /sthg/ on this chan's /vg/ that's been going for about 4 years now.

Yes, it's nice. I like that we have new posts regularly and that it hasn't completely died off, even if it's pretty slow overall. Would like it to be a bit faster, though, specially when I'm bored at work.

Bait was kind of born as a joke if I remember correctly. There was a huge shitstorm when she was created since a lot of people thought two OCs were more than enough, so she's not here nor there.

Early 2017 when I finally decided to check out 4chan. Went on /vg/, searched up "Sonic" and there it was.
I first started posting here in late 2017, but I only visited this place once a month or so since it was so slow. I've been checking /fast/ once a day now that it's picked up.
I still spend the majority of my time posting on 4/sthg/ though, as I like the format of 4ch more and the place is much faster.

Yeah! Part of me wishes it could be a bit faster, but at the same time how much is there to talk about at the moment? It really is a double edge sword when it comes to growing the community though. It was cool to win the attention-hungry games, but at the same time I was surprised how many people came and replied to absolutely ancient threads and less surprised by how many just shitposted. Is there anyone here now who found out about the board through the attention games link like a week ago?
>>8747
Thanks. I have been meaning to draw more, so I may try putting more stuff in the drawthread. I tried drawing Cream with the oekaki feature in the drawthread earlier.
>>8748
I just figured I didn't see her here because we don't have enough posters to be worth bait posting I still might try drawing her though.
