There was no need to kill him off.

>>1118
Apparently ians reasoning was because he felt he told all he could with the guy.

>>1119
Just feels like he didn't want anyone else to play with his character. He said Evan could bring him back but I'm thinking she won't out of respect.

>>1120
If he ever comes back, I lowkey want him to look like his concept art of cyborg parts.

>Huh. I really need to play STALKER, or at least one that's been modified to be set on Mobius
There are no sonic related mods for the stalker games from my knowledge (or at least from searching sonic in the stalker games moddb pages), closest you can possibly get are probably Meme mods that adds sonic as model/texture replacement for another entity (and looks as you would expect).

At the very least the Engine made for stalker mods is open source (along with sourceports too), so the possibility to make it as such is possible.

>>1149
i don't know anon, what do YOU think?
i personally do not care about penders what'soever.

Check this out! This looks sick af.
Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers - Promo (2024)

Completed the Ring Racer tutorial. That shit was so cash even before I actually played a real course, you guys should def try it.
And for some spoilered commentary
Kinda cute to see Eggman and Tails work together for the racing machines although Eggman is uncharacteristically nice to Tails. Maybe I'm thinking too hard for a fan game lol

>>1163
Looking at that its about the same as that

>checks his butt
Haha. Neat how she’s a mechanic but I would t be surprised if she sometimes argued with her own tools

>>1139
I just think they can be lesbians and interesting at the same time! I honestly like Whisper and think she'd work much better being a rookie adventurer that's trained by Sonic and friends, eventually becoming skilled enough to take on Rough and Tumble, who would become her primary antagonists. Also, if they won't make Rough and Tumble a couple, I think Rough and Tangle would be cute and lead to some interesting plots
>lien-da disaster lesbian
Exactly! Villains are always more interesting, and having them be potentially non-hetero I kinda hate the term queer-coded is a staple of the genre. Scar, Jafar, and Ursula in the Disney animations are way more fun and memorable then their protagonists
>The popularlity of nine inch tails continues. What a legendary piece of art.
I love that J-Axer knows that it'll always be the crowning piece of his artistic legacy
>>1140
Well, I guess I'll have to start with vanilla for now
>>1149
I may not be very good at art, but seeing Penders' wispy and indecisive brushstrokes makes me feel a little better
>>1159
Sonic fans really are on another level
>>1163
That game's dialogue was so much fun
>>1164
Horrifying!
>>1167
I thought Whisper's initial concept as a mysterious hyper-competent loner was really cool, and I liked that Silver had a crush on her. It's only when her personality turned out to be bland and creepily co-dependent on Tangle did my disappointment start to set in.
The fact that they introduced a really cool team for her in a flashback and then unceremoniously killed them off caused me to stop reading the book (unless the issue has Rough and Tumble). Nothing like saying "here's all these cool characters having exciting adventures, aren't they awesome!? Well too bad, they're all dead and are never coming back. Now let's read about the Restoration!"
>>1169
Keep it PG13 Sticks!

Website update:
I finally worked out what was causing the post links to not work for the archived /sssr/ threads! It turns out my code never considered posts with fewer than 4 digits. I've also fixed the cross-thread and cross-board links, which had been bugging me for ages

>>1199
Now I'm actually worried for shortfuse now.
>I just realized that this is Sonic Forces: British Edition. Sonic's missing, presumed dead, and Robotnik takes over with ease, beating up all the heroes.
Not to mention they combined it with SA2 first or even that STC was actually like forces with Sonic being gone for six months through the omniviewer.

>>1201
Goes to show that the world is fucked if Sonic ever disappears.

>>1202
>Goes to show that the world is fucked if Sonic ever disappears.
Sadly true. It's an issue the franchise lowkey has always had but it rears it's ugly head in instances, especially in the egregious case like Forces. All those superpowered and supposedly capable characters but become shit the moment sonic goes away.

Sonic being the one characters look up to and the effort to always make him appear the coolest as possible is a massive detriment. Doesn't help either characters always gotta be thinking or just talking about sonic 24/7. I get he's the main character and all but jeez, it doesn't have to be that bad you know. Makes you wonder how the world functioned before him.

>>1193
>While I didn’t watch nor give a shit to do it, I’m hearing reports of prime being confirmed canon in it. Lmao. Canon autists who care too much on suicide watch
They used clips of Sonic and Shadow battling from Prime when Sonic's talking about his adventures with Shadow. As the resident canon autist, Prime's as canon as AoStH and SatAM were when they were airing. They don't affect the games' plot (barring minor references like Sonic eating chili dogs), but Sega is never going to say "don't bother spending money on this Sonic content, it's not important." There's a reason they say "everything is canon," and it's to placate every faction in this very fractured fandom and milk them for all they've got! It's also why Ian really shouldn't be telling fans what is and isn't canon on his podcast. Even if he's correct in his assumptions, it just risks alienating people
>>1199
>I just realized that this is Sonic Forces: British Edition
Tea and crumpets, you're right! Seriously though, Sonic being captured for 6 months and Robotnik taking over the world was first done in StC, here he forced the Omni-Viewer to trap Sonic in a time warp for 6 months, allowing him to conquer Mobius. If anything, Forces was ripping off StC!
>>1203
Hilariously they aren't even consistent with this, since Sonic was going to be eaten by aliens just like the rest of his friends in StH, with Shadow saving the day. They had taken out Sonic, Tails, Omega and Shadow in Forces, and stuck Knuckles in a job he's not suited for instead of putting him on the front line where he could've made a difference.
How I'd have written it: I'd have had Amy run the Resistance, Knuckles and Silver on the front line keeping up morale by winning smaller battles, and had Rouge and the Chaotix out looking for the chaos emeralds.
Once the emeralds are collected, I'd have Knuckles and Silver trash a large amount of Eggman's forces and almost defeat Infinite, knocking an unconscious Shadow out of his digital prison. Of course Infinite would've pulled some Phantom Ruby bs causing the emeralds to scatter and forcing them to temporarily retreat, since they'd be weakened by the forceful de-supering, and needing to rescue Shadow.
Sonic would then be rescued by the rookie while Eggman and Infinite are distracted, and the game would go on as normal since Sonic would know going super wouldn't work on Infinite. Tails would still have his plot about being the older brother to Classic Sonic, regaining his confidence and repairing Omega towards the end of the story.
The main changes would be that the Chaotix would be responsible for getting intel that's actually relevant, and Shadow would have a few playable levels with Rouge on support where they track down and fight Infinite, only for him to get away at the end.
Throughout the levels we'd occasionally see Knuckles or Silver in the background, winning their own battles (e.g., Knuckles taking down a Death Egg robot in Park Avenue and Silver shielding a bunch of civilians from debris in Capital City)

>>1203
And then you look at Archie. Sonic disappears in space for a year, presumed dead, and he comes back and Knothole is technologically advanced and working with the humans, Eggman's still a threat but hasn't taken over, and the only immediate peril was Geoffrey and Hershey about to be executed.
>>1205
Goes to show that the Archieverse is the most capable without Sonic. Although they'd eventually get fucked over like if the Xorda came back again. Thank Chip for the Black Arms dealing with those alien autists.

>>1207
Archieverse is also the most established canon so there's just more characters that have been given a chance to shine. The games obviously have been going longer, but there's just way more plot in Archie than any other part of the franchise.
It's a real shame since it would be easy to write an engaging story where almost any of the game characters saved the day in Sonic's absence. Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow have all had games where they saved the day without Sonic so it's not like they're incapable of writing this sort of thing

>>1205

Not too bad. On the commander Knuckles thing, I have no idea why that's a thing they added to him. I get he has some warrior autism (even though in battle it made him look like a rageful dumbass). But Knuckles being a strategic commander? Ehhhhh, Frontiers continuing that made me dislike it more. Operation Big Wave quite frankly made him look like a retard and the others for agreeing to something he made in a minute and a half.

The prospect of other characters than Sonic looking to go super is kinda cool. Male Hedgehog exclusivity on that has always been bullshit. on the phantom ruby thing, I kinda forgot it could repel the emeralds and even the ME. But from what I can remember, that was only shown in Mania, so in forces, no one even attempted to use any emerald like at all to know.
While I get it's nullfiying effect, I'm still not sure on the whole illusion things cuz its said to be all in your head but sometimes actually real and can cross dimensions?!! That thing was so poorly defined and explained. What a mess.
>>1208
Mephiles has always been a lil fruity
>>1208
Can't have that because it threatens Sonic's image!!!! For real, what we need is spinoffs where they do their own thing with very minimal amount of characters going like "whenever Sonic's not on screen, we should ask "what would Sonic do/Wheres Sonic?"
Give me a Knuckles and Tails adventure where they hang out!

>>1208
Sega abandoned the idea of sequels and character development which keeps things the same. That's what they want. I know there's a Frontiers sequel coming but I wonder if it will be an actual sequel or if it's the same as the first one in terms of gameplay but the typical story reset.
>>1209
>spinoffs
This is what the franchise needs. Nintendo has been giving their various characters their own series and there's several smaller series within Mario. Imagine...
>tails vs eggman robot making series
>knuckles and rouge treasure hunting
>blaze windwaker-esque rpg
>shadow game with emphasis on combat
>sonic mania 2 (fucking sega get your shit together and get whitehead back)

>>1210
Nintendo treats Mario's friends so much better than Sonic's friends it's not even funny.
>tails vs eggman robot making series
YES!

>>1188
>Between Two Hedgehogs
IMAGINE

>>1209
Thanks! Yeah, I get that Knuckles being a warrior is why they did it, but Vector, Amy, or Rouge are much more suited to leadership. Knuckles has spent most of his life alone so he's just not got the experience needed to coordinate large groups of people
>Operation Big Wave
I hate it so much!
>Male Hedgehog exclusivity on that has always been bullshit
Yeah it's just dumb. Even Dragon Ball has ladies go super, although I'd like more variety in the super forms
>That thing was so poorly defined and explained. What a mess.
That's because it was originally a shiny blue pebble called the Valtron before they decided to synergize with Mania and have them be the same thing. I like the idea that Tails initially couldn't work out what Infinite was doing, but they really needed to do a rewrite to tidy up the plot inconsistencies. Having them be illusions that can hurt you was fine, but they should've had the characters overcome them, making Infinite powerless and weak
>Mephiles has always been a lil fruity
No way, he's an epic gamer! Snap Cube Animated: Mephiles The Gamer
>Give me a Knuckles and Tails adventure where they hang out!
I'd love to see that! The fact everyone only ever interacts with Sonic, or only talk about Sonic when he's not there really hampers their development
>>1210
>I know there's a Frontiers sequel coming but I wonder if it will be an actual sequel or if it's the same as the first one in terms of gameplay but the typical story reset.
I'm cautiously optimistic!
>spinoffs
I'd play the shit out of all of these

And now we wait until KrazyElf or TooDamnCycle get a new lewd idea!

>>1210
>tails vs eggman robot making series
Wouldn't that be essentially an RTS?
cuz if so i would play that shit.
>knuckles and rouge treasure hunting
i will 1up you with that.
A Yakuza style game with knuckles and rouge, Just imagine the dynamic intros and music, you can even bring up the chaotix for more effect.
>shadow game with emphasis on combat
Honestly putting shadow in a DMC styled beat em up would fucking explode in popularity.

>>1215
>Wouldn't that be essentially an RTS?
There's a number of ways it could be tackled. It could also be something like making stuff in Tears of the Kingdom or Nuts & Bolts.

Speed style, gun style, and chaos style. Flashy action pieces and huge bosses that end up becoming normal enemies later.

>>1225
He's actually in it for the majority - people are just exaggerating because Wade is a co-star and gets a good chunk of screentime himself. A lot of them were morons who were still expecting the show to be 99% Wachowski family bonding and 1% Wade even after we learnt what the show was actually about and had multiple trailers.

The rest are radicalized cultists obsessed with culture war politics who are trying to "boycott" Paramount and are saying any stupid shit to make the show look bad.

.....You know the day 4chan /pol/ gets deleted, thay will be a glorious day. Problem is that the Admin doesn't care.

>>1240
Hilariously, there's almost no talk of it in 4/co/, even in deleted threads (our special friend's too busy fixating on diapers in /vg/ anyway)
More 4chan bashing: That's the thing, RapeApe does care, it's just that his vision for the site is an unending sea of shit occupied by hopeless losers. The moderation's completely intentional, and it's all in service of constructing a virtual crab bucket where RapeApe, his mods, and even the jannies will never be made to feel inferior.
It's easy to say /pol/ is the cancer killing the site but with the proper moderation it could be a fun place to talk about politics and make spicy jokes. It's also easy to blame the administration (and I do!), but I think the underlying issue is that 4chan got too big, which meant opening up janny positions to the general public. Anyone willing to apply for such a position and climb the ranks to a payed position are the last sort of person you want to give any power to

>>1238
>spoiler
It should be kept in mind though that Pachacamac is 100% lying about most of the exact details - claiming the owls were the aggressors who burned down the village and killed everyone for the sake of mindless slaughter, claiming Knuckles was there and fought to the bitter end with the others, etc. Whilst it's very likely that Knuckles HAS in fact mantled Iblis' power, I very much doubt it's like Pachacamac is trying to spin it.

>>1244
>Charmy being a 100% serious straight-laced detective
>Cream pulling up the Vector role of not really caring too much but being willing to help
This is a VERY weird dynamic but I'm here for it.

>>1247
Looking good!

>>1247
He cute

>>1244
Their comic's starting! The designs are cute, and it's a surprisingly rare take for Charmy to consider Espio his brother
>>1247
Nice! I like the use of texture and lighting
>>1248
Yeah, it's definitely a Pachacamac-approved retelling of the events. We know Knuckles was left behind as the rest went off to fight the Owls, and they were fighting because the Echidna wanted to use the power of the emerald while the Owls to prevent its use.
I agree that the broad strokes of his fight with Iblis were accurate, but the exact motivations between Knuckles and Iblis might be off. I actually like Iblis being the source of Knuckles' fire-based punches, even if it does mess with the lore a heap. I'm guessing Silver won't be making an appearance anytime soon
I also think it's interesting that Wade was able to tap into Echidna warrior abilities. We also saw Robotnik tap into chaos powers with the master emerald, which was confirmed to be possible for game!Eggman in the Sonic Channel art where he goes super. Not sure where they're going with all of this, but it is interesting
>>1252
I'll admit I had to look up the polar bear and kangaroo. The Adok omnicanon is just too powerful for me ;_;

>>1256
Hey, it's those guys! I like that the designs are leaning more into their postboot looks, although I'd have kept Ray's arm flaps
>I think there’s a theme for this first issue!
Fun fact: The first 12 pages of the Knuckles miniseries have him wandering around ruins talking to himself. He also doesn't actually punch an enemy until page 17 of issue 2, and even that was just a robot!

>>1257
The way Penders started up his Knuckles lore has been weird. The Chaotix special was weird but the first story was fine enough. Then the rest of it was just boring shit. Then all the Knuckles backup stories is him walking around and looking for the Chaotix. The first mini was more of the same but Enerjak was great. Then he lost to ants. Again. LOL

>>1260
Yeah, his pacing's always been way too slow. Reading it the first time as an uncritical kid you can sort of overlook it since it promises the answers to all the mysteries are right about to be solved, and no matter how boring it gets it still has Knuckles as the main focus.
That said, I'm glad you're moving at a pace that strikes a good balance between laying down lore and introducing characters, and giving things enough space to not feel rushed
>Then he lost to ants. Again. LOL
He could've just teleported off the rocket! Or jumped down! My theory is being possessed by Enerjak brings out a person's worst traits, but especially arrogance. Dimitri was a scientist that thought he knew better than everyone else, and as Enerjak he couldn't even consider others trying something sneaky. We also see it with Knuckles as Enerjak, where he just wants to protect his people but can't even consider their needs

>>1262
Would've been cool if Enerjak just allowed it to happen because he has a stronghold orbiting Mobius. And when he's ready to mess things up, he beams down himself. He's only mad because Knuckles escaped and he wanted revenge at that time but not wanting to go after him. He's still a scientist so hacking the rockets and making it all work in his favor should be something he can easily do.

Why is /co/ so scared to discuss the new show?

>>1264
On 4chan? Because threads get deleted. A lot of Sonic threads have been getting deleted.

>>1263
Now that would've been cool! We still see him laughing in the rocket in the last panel, but he's laughing because the Fire Ants did what he was going to do anyway. I'm imagining his orbital base as something like a Goa'uld mothership from SG1, all sci-fi Egyptian and cool looking
>>1264
The only threads have been shit-stirring about Paramount boycott and those have been deleted. Honestly, I think most anons know what happened to our threads and don't want to get banned for discussing the forbidden blue hedgehog. A few anons have been discussing it in non-Sonic threads to avoid the jannies. There's always /v/, but I'm sure you can imagine what a cesspit that's like

It's true what they say: misery loves company. Boco's probably the best example of this, spending the better part of two decades malding about a cartoon chipmunk and hedgehog
>spoiler
Yeah, it seems they're using the flames of disaster as the name of Iblis' power instead of his other name. Oh man, I'd love to see Mephiles show up!
>other spoiler
I think the events are accurate, but the motivations mentioned are based on Pachacamac's biases. As for Knuckles' power. There's his regular Echidna warrior power that comes from his heart (that Wade was able to tap into) and there's the flames of disaster, which only Knuckles has. I do like seeing humans have superpowers, since it'd be odd if only anthros had them

>>1291
Doing pretty well! I enjoyed the new Knuckles show, and I've been working on getting the anons from the Tamers threads to post here too. I also finally fixed my archives of the plus4chan threads
>>1292
>Pic related is a good sum at penders problems.
lmao
>God like being but for some reason couldn't just fly down without help. That was weird.
Yeah, Penders loves writing really powerful characters but always falls short of them doing anything meaningful with their abilities. It's probably why I like the less powerful characters like Remington and Julie-Su
>That sounds fucking awesome. Nekronopolis but in SPACE!
Well now that has to be part of my AU!
>Hey you posted this twice!
Yeah, the problem was I'd downloaded them at the same time but got them mixed up since they both had family in the name. Fixed now!

>>1296
that's all good to hear, not checked the Knuckles show myself and just waiting for artist to finish Rava design I ordered so can do more Longclaw based idea's since quite like her. Otherwise planning another pic from Moisesgrafic, either Sonic x Sally or Mordred x Sally. May do both lol

>>1297
For sure my dude. Always best to never interact with schizos
>>1299
>rava
Oh hey it’s that lizard dude that was gonna be in the movies. He actually appeared in the pre quill comic.

>>1301
yeah, decided to make him into Longclaw's arch enemy that massacred the family she was gonna start after retiring from heroism/echidna warring and he eventually got sealed away. Obviously when he breaks out he wants to hunt down her adopted Son Sonic and finish the score with her. Thinking of making him a bit of a mix of vicious hunter and nihilstic dark sorcerer, though his magic is different from Naugus in less four elements/crystals and more purple lightning, black magic or dark spirit voodoo type stuff

>>1296
> It's probably why I like the less powerful characters like Remington and Julie-Su
Me too. Although like penders tended to do, he never treated them all that right. With remington he just dropped the good cop in a city full of corruption, and for julie who got it a bit worse, made a character with the interesting backstory of a former DL, into a girl whose life just revolves around knuckles with lil and rushed her love for him. real shame. But I still do like them just saying they could've been even better and yeah the characters with less focus funnily enough tended to be better. Like harry and wynmacher who I like a lot.
>>1302
Nice, sounds cool dude. Doing fan lore stuff with the movie verse is cool and thing that should be done more. lots you can do

>>1303
aye, especially with how major a character Longclaw is gonna be, lot of backstory to draw since she is one of the few people aware of Echidna's bullshit, old powers/deities, Babylonian's/battlebirds and what not, helps she's still alive in my thing, planning to have Jet crush on her as a joke thing and also so he can make banging your mum jokes at Sonic cause he would be that sorta dickhead

>>1305
that does make sense and is a fun touch, though doubt we'll see Babylon Rogues in the movies anytime soon despite how much fun as them being there would be and what out there casting choices they'd get. Owls not vibing with either the bird supremacy would track with how Harvey Who was also very much not having Max's stupid bullshit or poor choices either and how they oppose the Echidna's who are the kings of dumb choices and greedy arrogance

>>1306
well sonic riders was one of the games they were allowed to use in the movie universe but we just have to wait and see

quick rant, fucking hate how discord images now have a lifespan apparently so what was once insanely useful as a ref sending thing to artists is now fucking useless

Came to a realization Sonic isn't my favorite as he used to be and starting to just dislike him specifically the main one for upcoming reasons. Like i understand his deal, muh freedom, muh adventure, muh static character used to help other people grow, gotta go fast. I get it and liked him enough but man has it started to wane with realizing the consistent negative impact he has around other characters resulting in stuff like the useless cheerleaders who can't seem to shut up about him.
Sad thing it will just keep repeating despite the empty promises they say they'll be improved in the games. That alone just turns me off from the character and liking his villain more despite being the same type of static character type because he's more entertaining than him. Idk frontiers was kinda of the killing blow for me in feeling this way along with forces and prime's implications. Also I realize my post kinda sounds like something our special friend would say but I can assure I'm not a nutcase

>>1309
>muh static character used to help other people grow
Was never about that, other characters are only allowed to do the bare minimum in order to say Sonic "inspired" them to do it with his infinite power and wisdom and Sonic could do it way better and Sonic is the coolest and bladibladibla
Frontiers just cut out the middleman and had Sonic "inspire" the shitty friends without the shitty friends doing anything that would steal Sonic's spotlight. It's enough that they just say to the audience that the mascot is the bestest and everyone irl should keep buying his toys and shitty games
