>>1086 Also I'm 99% sure that this is the artist. I remember them dropping a link one time. https://snail-speed.tumblr.com/post/688808970017816576/commissions-open
>>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.
>>1101 Tan legs are canon. They're also cursed >>1041 Huh. I really need to play STALKER, or at least one that's been modified to be set on Mobius >>1042 >god i can't believe i just dumped what is essentially a Sonic STALKER AU All according to keikaku! >>1045 >Tex. Jet's father Another DILF for the collection! Fun fact: there's a painting of Jet's father/male ancestor in his office >>1046 >Man, that sounds cool af for an AU. Thanks! Changing the setting's 50% about giving Enerjak cool lore, and 50% getting rid of the Xorda gene-bomb but keeping the "furries are mutated humans" plot twist. I'll post more once I've cleaned it up >I honestly can’t trust that knowing their track record Fair enough. I really hope you're wrong about the status quo thing, but I don't have high hopes either. While I liked Sage (and the Sonknux moments), I thought Frontiers' plot was worse than Lost World. At least Lost World had some genuine character development between Sonic and Tails that was integrated with the plot. Unlike Frontiers, Lost World's gameplay and artstyle was absolute garbage, and it's actually my least favorite Sonic game >This comic is gay as fuck but that form looks cool I always love it when the artist's lewd thoughts seep into their sfw art >>1071 Thanks, I'll definitely let you know once it's a bit further. I'm planning on making it a PG13 action adventure so it won't get too steamy >>1094 Nice to see you're including Tikal's friend in the comic!

>>1104 I recognize that artist! >>1106 To be fair, we don't know if Knuckles is into that >>1109 Yeah, that's the one that draws Shoggothnic. They're a seriously talented artist >>1115 One of the most interesting things to come out of IDW. It makes sense that Eggman would have a few fans and that they'd be completely unhinged. There's something about this camp vlogging Eggman simp trying to go all chunibyo and menacing was really fun to read. I actually thought his death was pretty good, since it showed just how out of his depth he was, and how little of a threat he posed to Eggman. Of course I assumed he'd have revived using the modified metal virus, becoming a legitimate threat to Eggman and the world in general. I'm still mad >>1119 >>1120 It's super petty the way he handled it. Ian bashing spoiler: I think he killed him off permanently since the gay duck was more interesting than the crying lesbians. Frankly I'm sick of creatives patting themselves on the backs for playing it safe and adding the most milquetoast lesbians they can think of. Make them flawed! Imagine how much fans would love if a new character was introduced that was a Lien-Da-tier walking disaster who happened to be more than friends with her second in command >>1121 Oh man, that'd be so awesome! It'd also be a cool nod to Doctor Zachary from Fleetway >>1122 It fits suspiciously well >>1126 FYI, the board stats are frozen at 13 posts and 2 threads
>>1135 >Make them flawed! Imagine how much fans would love if a new character was introduced that was a Lien-Da-tier walking disaster who happened to be more than friends with her second in command
That's chudspeak, TP. How dare you suggest lesbians be anything but heckin wholesome?!! (lien-da disaster lesbian actually kinda sounds good since I like her as a character) But for real, I kinda always found Tangle to be whatever but she's okay enough with her flaw of just jumping in things without thinking. Pairing her with Whisper instantly degraded her character and a mistake. It's always about comforting the sad awoo. But about Whispers flaws, I know she is emotional and jumped the gun about the duo/mimic thing but the fandom hated that so I can see Evan preventing whisper from making mistakes like that again. >>1138 The popularlity of nine inch tails continues. What a legendary piece of art.
>>1133 >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.

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

>>1139 >>1135 With bad characters I've think they should be written better rather than just killed off (Ian retooled Fiona from a forgettable Sally-clone to a memorable bad bitch), but Whisper is one of the few characters that I think should just be killed off. >personality is annoyingly whiny and one-note >her tragic past never affects the plot at all like Shadow's did in SA2. Someone just mentions her team and she cries, and then it's back to the main plot >since her past is never important, we have no reason to care about her murdered teammates >Mimic isn't a powerful enough villain for their rivalry to be interesting, especially since Whisper herself is so dull
Even if they did start to write her as tougher and more competent, she'd just be another tough Resistance leader character like they're trying to write Lanolin as. And while Lanolin has famously done jack shit to deserve her "grizzled veteran" status, I still take her more seriously than I do Whisper. She at least doesn't have panic attacks about team names.
Sonic and the Freedom Fighters Issue 6 Page 5 https://mobiuscomics.com
Boom Sticks was a crazy jungle girl that lived in the jungle. Prime Sticks is a crazy mechanic girl that lives in the forest. When I realized how much alien stuff was going to be in this arc, I had to include her. Such a fun character that doesn’t get used anymore (unless you want to count mobile games and some Olympic games).
>>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!

>>1174 Really nice! It's probably the most amount of definition you can give Sonic without making him look weird or changing to a more anthro design. Their Knuckles is even more buff!
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.

Sonic the Continuation Issue 22 Page 10 https://www.deviantart.com/okida/art/S-T-C-Issue-22-Page-10-1045675701 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.
>>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.
>>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)
>>933 ATEOE - Page 3 https://www.deviantart.com/killerboss2 I know it's supposed to be menacing and otherworldly, but crystal!Mephiles always looks like he's in an en pointe ballerina pose
>>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
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)
>>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 >>1212 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.

As one of the few StH (the game) fans, it really only needed better non-gun combat (and a heap of bug fixes and texture improvements). If they'd had the combo system Frontiers had, Shadow would probably be the main character of the series
>>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. >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. >knuckles walks down the street >OI CHOTTO MATTE >Honestly putting shadow in a DMC styled beat em up would fucking explode in popularity.

>Knuckles show has a bunch of radicalized Tumblrites trying to shit on it because "PARAMOUNT SUPPORTS ISRAEL!!" as though trying to boycott Paramount will remotely affect any real world superpower >is outright impossible to discuss on 4chan for obvious reasons God, I despise this fucking timeline.
>>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.
>>1224 I've watched the first two episodes and am really enjoying it so far. Without spoiling anything, Knuckles is a lot of fun, the references are there but aren't in your face, the fights and cgi are great, and the villain lady's pretty cute >>1225 He's in at least half the scenes, and I never felt like they were padding things out with the human characters >>1234 >is outright impossible to discuss on 4chan for obvious reasons Yeah, you'll get banned by ABIB because he was bullied in school by Sega fans! I haven't even opened up 4/co/ and don't intend to until I've watched the whole thing
>>1236 Finished the show and I really enjoyed it. Spoiler free thoughts: Wade's endearingly dorky and I did end up rooting for him, my Robin Hood husbando Cary Elwes was perfect as usual, I wasn't expecting to see Julian Barratt (Howard from the Mighty Boosh) but he was a lot of fun too. Oh and the soundtrack was 10/10 for me Spoiler thoughts: Absolutely loved the musical number, it's so silly and fun! I wasn't expecting Knuckles to have defeated Iblis and mantle his power. Having Knuckles trick the bad guys into thinking he'd been tricked was fantastic. I wish there was more focus on GUN and less on Wade's family, but it wasn't a dealbreaker. Still, I hope they bring those agents back for the third film Paramount boycott: When they visit Wade's mother it turns out the family's Jewish and they celebrate some holiday/tradition thing. I don't think it's making any statement about Israel, although it does mention krav maga and that it was developed by the IDF. I guess it tries to humanize them, although it mostly paints them as a The Nanny-tier neurotic and dysfunctional Jewish family
>>1234 >>1238 >>1236 >checks /v/ >sees the bullshit .....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.
>>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 ;_;
Knuckles and the Chaotix Issue 1 Page 9 https://mobiuscomics.com/knuckles
Knuckles continues his journey and what would you know? He meets up with Mighty and Ray, another two members of the Chaotix! I think there’s a theme for this first issue! Anyway, looks like Knux has a couple companions that will follow him this time. Spoiler: He’s going to need them for what’s coming next.
>>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.
>>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 took me way longer than it should, but I finished the Knuckles show! It was pretty alright but ultimately enjoyable for me. I really ended up like Wade and his story and Knuckles helping him. >>1226 This comic is hilarious and screams gay energy >>1234 big oof >>1236 Lmao >>1241 some people truly want to see the world burn
>>1238 The iblis reference was really unexpected. Flames of disaster is quite his other name too. I wonder if they'll expand this bit of lore for the Sonic 06 adaption. Imagine Knuckles meeting up with Elise with them having that same power. I also really want to see movieverse mephiles seeing how iblis was like lol. But i agree on your criticisms >>1247 Cute! >>1252 >>1253 Joe continues to be based >>1255 >>1248 [spoiler]Well Knuckles himself did say there were multiple owls than just longclaw in the show so it's not total bull. Kinda of a retcon from the first when we only saw Longclaw. I hope a future thing finally clears that up and shows it with a proper flashback too. Also thinking about it knuckles did say it came from the heart and all along but who knows. I do like humans can actually have powers in movieverse. thats awesome
Been ages since been in one of these threads, not really got any new Mordred comms to post yet or anything but just wanted to say hope you funky monkey's have all been well
>>1256 It's these two! Liking the pace and prestablished hints to knuckles for further expanding. Really liking it because it doesn't make the entire world feel like it soley revolves around sonic as it usually does. But looking forward to seeing more of the pacifist that cant seem to get of fights and his sometimes timid bro. >>1260 Oh yeah, the chaotix were missing for the longest time and their heads kept appearing in the sky! That shit was wack man. >>1262 Pic related is a good sum at penders problems. >He could've just teleported off the rocket! Or jumped down! God like being but for some reason couldn't just fly down without help. That was weird. >>1263 >Would've been cool if Enerjak just allowed it to happen because he has a stronghold orbiting Mobius That sounds fucking awesome. Nekronopolis but in SPACE! >>1273 >>1274 >>1275 >>1276 These are great. >>1282 >>1283 Hey you posted this twice!
>>1288 >It took me way longer than it should, but I finished the Knuckles show! Glad you enjoyed it too! >some people truly want to see the world burn 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

>>1304 >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 HA! Speaking of babylonians, that's like an actual thing part of the movieverse if small with their text in the owl temple. And I recall tyson saying he made a presentation to connect the two recently. My guess is that the owls were a splinter group among them with the others probably hating them.
>>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
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
>>1309 >that guy when he reads spoiler Is not that you are nuts like him, those are fair criticism to make and are not that new. Problem is that guy is a fucking extremist with a massive hateboner rather that someone that argues in good faith.
>>1311 tldr before it was Knuckles and Tails and Amy do small thing, say Sonic inspired them to do it, say to audience that Sonic is so inspirational and so you should buy Sonic's toys Now it is Sonic gives lecture to Knuckles and Tails and Amy, they say Sonic inspired them (to cheerlead for him while he beats the bad guy), say to audience that Sonic is so inspirational and so you should buy Sonic's toys
>>1040 previous post should've been 9-09 The Heart of a Monster 9-10 https://thoam.the-comic.org/comics/354 At this point them outright plapping would be less gay!
>>1299 Highly recommend watching it (and forming your own opinions before the Internet vomits its own at you). Nice to see Rava getting some love, and that you're still working on your AU >>1303 Yeah, seeing regular people like Remington and Julie-Su make a difference without superpowers was a lot of fun. Harry and Wyn were great for the same reasons. I agree the rushed romance and Soul-touching was the worst way to set up their relationship, even if they ended up a great couple despite it >>1305 >And I recall tyson saying he made a presentation to connect the two recently. Nice! I'd really like to see more lore expanded on >>1309 Sorry to hear that. It seems a lot seem to be not happy with his portrayal in Frontiers, especially coupled with the Movienic take on his personality. Personally I like that he's unflappable, but wish they hadn't reset his character growth post-SatBK. Most of the issues I have really stem from all of his friends being useless cheerleaders, which is why I posted my rewrite of Forces here: >>1205 >spoiler Pretty sure BH banned him for being a chode >>1311 I have to agree that they went the "tell don't show" route in Frontiers which is a bad habit Flynn picked up from Penders. I really hope they give the others the time to shine in the next game >>1312 Honestly the guy just needs to chill out, but we all know he loves being miserable

https://www.deviantart.com/scruffiberri/art/Sonamy-They-re-Dating-1046935747 Knowing Amy, this is probably the first time Sonic heard about this. >Based off of a scene from Daily Lives of High School Boys. I watched some episodes, not all. I remember all the boys being weird but the girls are weirder and psychotic. Just like in real life. I remember something about a couple of delinquent girls waiting near a guy's apartment and he notices them and they threaten him and he throws them snacks. They start eating it like animals and continue threatening him.
>>1321 Mighty's such a himbo! Also, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to break up the sandworm fight with at least 3 awkwardly tilted pages of Echidna Lore™ >>1322 >They start eating it like animals and continue threatening him. Women amirite? Seriously though, that sounds deranged and now I'll have to look it up!
>>1323 >Mighty's such a himbo! Also, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to break up the sandworm fight with at least 3 awkwardly tilted pages of Echidna Lore™ I was thinking of adding a flashback to show what happened with the echidnas but I'll hold off on that. Last thing I want to do is start a Knuckles series with that. >Women amirite? Seriously though, that sounds deranged and now I'll have to look it up! Daily life of high school girls - Toshiyaki Here's the scene I was thinking of. Its been a while since I watched it.
>>1324 >I was thinking of adding a flashback to show what happened with the echidnas but I'll hold off on that. Last thing I want to do is start a Knuckles series with that. Yeah, I like that the mystery is being preserved, but not dangled in front of us Penders-style >Here's the scene I was thinking of. Its been a while since I watched it. I thought the clip would explain things, but it just raises further questions!
>>1327 And Ray's lost his arm flaps ;_; Seriously though, it's weird it took until the reboot for them to realize those were part of his official design >>1328 Ha!
This artist manages to make an echidna looking character design that isn't horrific and ugly. Penders should take notes. Also, this artist needs to do better than to name their pages with just the page number when they keep restarting the numbering when doing a new story.
>>1351 >>1352 The PK comics are fucking great. There's a really fun "friendly villain" character called the Raider, an all-powerful alien called Xadhoom who manages to somehow be likeable despite being a crazy-ass invincible anti-heroine, and all sorts of crazy time-traveling, dimension-hopping, space-traveling adventures and more.
I definitely recommend them to anyone who likes crazy off-the-wall adventure comics like Fleetway Sonic.
>>1355 Sounds neat if crazy. I'll check them out later and tbh those duck comics in general as I catch hearings of people liking them a lot for some reason.
The Spider-Girl storytime threads on 4chan have me thinking about 25 Years Later. Mainly what it would look like for my series. It's one of those things a writer would like to do but depending on what story it is and how far into the future it is, there's a good chance it would be rendered non-canon or impose a constraint on the writer as they go along and can't do something that would conflict with their future. It really is something that shouldn't be done unless you're fine with it not being canon.
What I feel confident about showing in the hypothetical 25 Years Later before completing the Genesis Era. >sonic and sally and their kids >the state of the freedom fighters >knuckles, julie-su, and lara-su >the elevated powerlevel of characters >very lightly showing what's going on with the robots Everything else would be conveniently not brought up. Lots of characters whose future I either haven't cemented or not wanting to spoil for a while.

https://www.deviantart.com/alzul-blue/art/Blaze-the-Cat-Possessed-by-Dr-Eggman-1047268734 >Art I commissioned from Hexside >Dr. Eggman had had it. He was tired of constantly having all of his plans foiled by Sonic. Some drastic measures needed to be taken. Deep in thought, Eggman suddenly had a brilliant idea. Why not… put himself on equal level with Sonic? Sonic’s high speed was always what gave the hedgehog an advantage over the doctor. So, Eggman decided to obtain a body with super speed so that he could keep up with Sonic. But who to choose? Eggman had plenty of options to choose from. Shadow, Knuckles, heck, even Amy would make for suitable bodies to take, for various reasons. But in the end, he landed on Blaze the Cat. Her position as a princess, along with her speed and her ability to wield fire, made her an appealing vessel for Eggman to take. Luring her into one of his evil lairs, Eggman would ensnare Blaze in his trap and activate the machine, thus implanting his soul into Blaze‘s body. Now possessing the body of Blaze the Cat, Eggman dons his suit, modified in size to fit Blaze’s body and laughs joyously over all the new sensations he’s feeling in this body. Testing out his new flame powers, Eggman puts a devious smile on the normally calm and collected Blaze‘s face. With Blaze as his host, Eggman will finally be able to destroy that blasted hedgehog! …Little does he know, Silver the Hedgehog had followed Blaze into the evil lair and just heard everything.
>really want to read her comics >need to get through the original ones first I'm actually enjoying those originals ones far, so it's not too bad.
But to this make this Sonic, i'd just wait a bit, focus on the present more, and put a lot more further thought into it than jumping the gun. stuff like actually fleshing out the kids's characters than being and ESPECIALLY looking like clones of their parents with needed redesigns. Jacques and Belle were honestly really bad with that and looked terrible imo.
Personally, I kinda dislike 25 years later in archie. stuff sonic being a king instead of a better suited consort thing, the boring drama and supposed escalation, king shadow, sally barely doing anything in both her future and at the time staying in her castle crying was fucking agonizing, etc. Penders or Ian, just not a fan of it due to numerous reasons and low points for me.
But hey, I'll just say I hope you whatever you do for that and your comic in general is good and executed well. >>1373 This looks like someone's fetish but honestly, why hasn't Eggman done something like this yet? All the power, speed, and the intelligence. Good way to win.
>>1374 Well, it's not like I can use any resources on it. >This looks like someone's fetish but honestly It most certainly is. >>1375 There's a 99% chance this was commissioned by the same person that wrote Sonic's Prank Wars.
>>1374 >Personally, I kinda dislike 25 years later in archie. stuff sonic being a king instead of a better suited consort thing, the boring drama and supposed escalation, king shadow, sally barely doing anything in both her future and at the time staying in her castle crying was fucking agonizing, etc. Penders or Ian, just not a fan of it due to numerous reasons and low points for me. You're certainly not alone there. 25YL is one of the absolute low points of the comic. Pretty much every character does nothing but stand around talking about the impending terrible calamity. It's like how IDW spends all its time on buildup with no payoff, but even worse since it has all of Penders' echidna wank.
>>1380 >Putting a vile creature in an area where he could potentially and easily cause a massive level of chaos no amount of Powerleveling could fight against. Unless this is a punishement for the Zone cops not being able to do their job, i'd spare them the horror.

>>1376 >There's a 99% chance this was commissioned by the same person that wrote Sonic's Prank Wars. Oh boy, investigation time! So it was commissioned by kaiserdarken of their OC Solaris the Dragon, a mostly empty tumblr that posts gifs that look similar to the ones posted by SolarisDragon on DeviantArt and InkBunny. All three make mostly empty posts for holidays too. I have to agree, it's almost certainly him
>>1355 Looks like I'll have to check them out! >>1358 That's why I recommend archiving everything. The Internet's increasingly at the whim of a few megacorps and they're increasingly hostile towards users >>1360 I'll have to start posting updates in the horny thread! >>1367 ;_; >>1368 Wew! >>1372 I always thought a MXYL would make a great epilogue to the comic if it was treated like a timeskip instead of a possible future that's obviously going to end up contradicting the events of an ongoing comic. Really all that was needed was for us to see the characters living their happy endings and showing the next generation becoming heroes in their own right >Mainly what it would look like for my series Just be sure not to make Remington a pizza delivery man with horrific facial hair or I'll riot! >>1374 >This looks like someone's fetish but honestly, why hasn't Eggman done something like this yet?

It's been two years, but the latest issue of Sonic Pandemonium just dropped! I'll leave this one for you to storytime Konductor https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/sonic-pandemonium/stardust-crusade/viewer?title_no=706006&episode_no=7 https://the-ride.neocities.org/comics/2022-08-19-sonic-pandemonium/
>>1388 Yeah, I'll have to reread it too. I do remember Sol the Phoenix being handsome and Dulcey being stacked ;_; >>1393 I think that was the comic set in Forces where Sonic wears Aladdin pants, has top scars and rescues Cream. I did just find out that they have a twitter, which they made sometime after we storytimed their comic: https://twitter.com/Purpleboye_
>>1401 Oh, and from their twitter, one of their friends just released the first chapter of their own fancomic, and it's got Sonic with eyeliner! https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/sonic-unlimited/list?title_no=931664 >>1403 I do like when fans switch up the design at least!
>>1401 >top scars Part of me wants to ask "Why SONIC of all characters?", but the rest of me knows that you could ask that same question about a dozen other things this fanbase has done.
>>1401 >I think that was the comic set in Forces where Sonic wears Aladdin pants, has top scars and rescues Cream. I did just find out that they have a twitter, which they made sometime after we storytimed their comic: I already know about that one. But I found the post mentioning it. https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/135768407/#135771403 >Purp_derp is making a written adaptation of Sonic Pandemonium >IT LIVES (kinda). I do wonder if that was planned and then scrapped. Or maybe a side thing and now that it's done it's back to working on the comic.
>>1405 I think people latch onto Sonic for all sorts of reasons, but mostly because he's confident, kind, and heroic even in the face of overwhelming odds. It's also fairly common for people to give him some of their own traits, to make him easier to relate to which is probably why I interpret Sonic as flirty and bi. Honestly, I don't get the hate for top scars, especially considering the horrors other artists have inflicted on the franchise. Seriously, there's a guy that's been drawing Sonic characters as sentient toilets for over a decade >>1406 >I already know about that one. But I found the post mentioning it. Ah, that'd explain why I added their ao3 account to the website >I do wonder if that was planned and then scrapped. Or maybe a side thing and now that it's done it's back to working on the comic. Looks like they worked on it from 2023-02-27 to 2023-05-22, but didn't finish it. I'm just glad the story's going back to comic form, I don't have the attention span for reading fanfics!
>>1393 >>1401 The Sonic Pandemonium guy actually DID do it as a purely text story over on AO3 at one point and it got further than it did as a welcoming, but then he stopped. My guess is that he was already planning to do the next arc as part of the webcomic but wanted to write it out so he could follow it as a script or stopped because of lack of inspiration.
>>1199 The only reason Fleetway Sonic won't kill Robotnik is because he still thinks he can bring the original Kintobor back. And in fairness, it happened once so it's not even unjustified like some other cases of a hero letting their villain live.
>>1456 Even Shortfuse decided not to kill Robotnik in an early comic. And of course the famous scene of Tails given a chance to JFK him but refusing to do so. Which was fine because it was a test and he passed for turning down the made up chance.
>>1425 >Forelock I hate to say it, but I like his outfit designs for Sonic >>1436 Yeah, it looks like he swapped from comic to fanfic before deciding to continue the comic again >>1467 I think the real question is how did an anthropomorphic unicorn end up getting a job at IDW?
>>1436 >>1406 The written adaptation went on hiatus while he was working on the comic. It's more likely to get updated now that the comic has another entry.
>>1344 My favorite over-explanation for this is that mobians can instinctively manipulate the chaos energy of the environment to create personal pockets of space to store items, this is also the place where rings go. Most mobians are only capable of carrying small things and not in large quantities because it causes a certain strain, but some have the talent to carry more and bigger things. And this curious ability only works if there's chaos energy in the environment, which is almost always because the Emeralds are usually scattered all over the world and their range is that huge.
random apprecication time, but I really like Lara-le's look in RTAI. It's her best one, and also for kneecaps that lil bit of fluff does wonders surprisingly. Shout outs to Jon Gray for that, I like his art on archie a lot. >>1479 Oh my god... He used to draw decently before, why does he insist on doing it like this? I hate the way he draws those eyes so much.
>>1489 Jon Gray did a lot of great art. You could say it was unfitting for an arc as dark as RTAI, but for some reason that never bothered me. Maybe it was just a relief to not be looking at Ron Lim art for a change.
>kneecaps While we're randomly appreciating things, I've always liked this fanart of him.
>mid levels >shitty mach section >bland af cutscenes between elise and sonic thats supposed to be "touching" >silver appeared with his godawful boss fight
I dislike this game more and more as time goes on. The only consistent good thing about it is the music.

Sonic and the Freedom Fighters Issue 6 Page 6 https://mobiuscomics.com
Things are falling apart on the Wing Fortress. All sorts of trouble is happening and usually the Battle Bird Armada are the ones making trouble. Sally’s doing her thing and Eggman is about to do a thing!
>knuckles just appears in soleanna for no real reason Yep this game is really starting to be bullshit. Tails and Amy I can understand, they’re his biggest bootlickers in the games. But Knuckles? Literally why. He did not need to be in it. This game pisses me off and I haven’t even finished Sonics campaign yet.
>amy thread on 4chan gets instantly deleted Big oof. >>1566 I can kind of see that. I feel bad for artists that look like their art is AI when it isn't.
>>1480 This is 100% my headcanon too. All Mobians being able to manipulate chaos energy to some extent is also my explanation for their enhanced durability and why characters like Rouge and Tails can fly despite their wings/rotors being too small >>1489 >Oh my god... He used to draw decently before, why does he insist on doing it like this? I hate the way he draws those eyes so much. On the plus side if you look at his drawings in reverse chronological order it looks like he's improving rapidly! >>1491 I wish we got to see him doing cool stuff in MXYL (or really anyone doing cool stuff) >>1498 That image just aged me 1,000 years >>1501 Be sure to save often, it doesn't do autosave! The game's actually pretty fun once you work out how to play around the bugs, but be prepared to die often in the mach speed sections. When you get into the Silver boss fight with Sonic, DON'T run forward towards those rings. You need to keep your distance until he starts throwing chairs at you, and then attack him before falling back again. Also, when you get to the final billiard puzzle with Silver, look up how to cheese through the door with a crate instead. Or just play project 06 instead since it fixes all the major bugs >>1546 Oh yeah, the generic stock asset pack npcs! >>1551 >The only consistent good thing about it is the music Fun fact, the Latin chant in the final boss battle is actually meaningful (vid related's a little too literal for my tastes, but gets the general message across) Solaris Phase 1 Lyrics + Translation English Sonic 2006 >>1552 Every fancomic means every fancomic Konductor! >It's also 585 pages so far and started in 2023 Genuinely the scariest Sonic.exe thing I've ever heard >>1554 I still maintain the bad guys would've won years ago if they'd just stop putting air vents in their bases and fortresses >>1558 >knuckles just appears in soleanna for no real reason He knew his boyfriend and girlfriend were in the area, of course he'd be there! Seriously though, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy are all there to see the festival >>1564 If only they'd gone with Maekawa's original script, then he could marry best girl Caliburn >>1568 I still can't believe they make Knuckles' puppet dad an unholy amalgamation of Locke and Penders
>>1569 I'm looking it up but there's no indication for knuckles being there for the festival. He's literally just there because the plot said he needs to for the obligatory team sonic appearance.
>>1570 Tails and Knuckles are both in Soleanna and Sonic isn't surprised to see them so I assumed they were all there to enjoy the Festival of the Sun. Personally, I like the idea that they regularly take vacations together when they're not fighting Eggman, which id something they seem to do during the Riders games
We know Sonic and Tails first meet Knuckles in the New City when they're about to look for Eggman after Elise's (second) kidnapping. Knuckles gives Sonic a holographic message from Eggman, where he offers to trade Sonic's emerald for Elise in White Acropolis. This means Eggman has to have known Knuckles was in Soleanna to give him that message, despite Eggman only arriving the day before to Kidnap Elise (for the first time) during the festival
It's not explicitly stated, but the only way Eggman could've known Knuckles was around was that he saw him when scoping out the festival
>>1586 F. Now I have a terrible feeling Okida will kill Shortfuse next ;_; His murder lust won't be over when he goes to kill off cosmo and tails' love life >>1587 I guess. Like I have made my share of complaints about frontiers pretending he never left. But it just kinda feels off for 06, like a lot of things I'm feeling and know it'll get worse when I play further on.
>>1589 >F. Now I have a terrible feeling Okida will kill Shortfuse next ;_; Nooooo! >I guess. Yeah, 06 is an ambitious but deeply flawed game, mostly due to Naka's departure, impossible deadlines, and splitting the team in half to develop Secret Rings when what they needed was more time and resources.
One positive I'll give 06 is that while the plot is a mess, they did let Maekawa write the dialogue so at least everyone's in character. Frontiers, while mostly in character, felt a lot more like the characters were explaining their motivations instead of demonstrating them through their actions. A Maekawa-written Frontiers would've been absolute kino
Genuinely one of the worst bosses I've ever fought in this series. Not like this series has good bosses but still. And the lead up to this was the terrible white acropolis, crisis city and flame core. Fuck those board sections. >>1590 Does that include making the characters like Knuckles and Tails boring as shit knucklehead and tech geek with no real chemistry with each other, other than asking "SONIC WHAT WILL WE DO NOW?!?! WE NEED TO PROGRESS THE PLOT, SONIC!" Great stuff, I see the vision! Yeah I'm being passive aggressive but this game is putting me in a bad mood, plus finding that guy overrated anyway, and just me realizing knuckles and tails barely have anything other than sonic. I'm starting to believe the claim team sonic have great chemistry has a group is kinda bullshit when it really revolves around circlejerking over one person.
>>1593 The final fight between Iblis and Silver was just as bad. I just don't get how they could make such a cool monster design have such boring fights. Thankfully they fixed it in vid related >white acropolis It's so intuitive, you pretty much have to look up videos on how to get past the final jump on the snowboard >Great stuff, I see the vision! Honestly I was talking more about Team Dark's interactions, since the plot was already written, with Maekawa just doing the dialogue >spoiler YOU TAKE THAT BACK ABOUT MAEKAWA! Seriously though, their best interactions are in S3&K, the OVA, SA1 through Heroes, and the Riders games. >>1597 I hope you made the right choice, and picked Elise
>>1598 Only notable thing I remember from those is that very brief scene of Knuckles teasing Tails and knuckles not understanding the technobabble from riders 1 but that's it. I guess my problem is that it seems like they're "friends" for the sole mutual interest in Sonic than each other. Unfortunately a thing you can say about alot of apparent relationships in this franchise. I at least hope the movies can give me that since Tails and Knuckles are closer than they usually are. kinda unfortune knuckles series only had knux really interact with sonic at the start which disappointed me a bit. I hope 3 gives me that knuckles and tails fill. >I hope you made the right choice I did!
>>1601 Yeah, it's not much, but it is better than the mainline games. I guess I just like the idea that Sonic, Tails and Knuckles hang out together even when the world doesn't need saving. Some games are obviously worse than others, but there's a real issue of the entire cast primarily interacting with Sonic or Eggman, and ignoring each other. Generations is easily the worst for this, with the final battle just being Sonic (and Sonic) fighting Eggman (and Eggman) while everyone cheers them on from the sidelines.
I actually proposed a Sonic version of the Bechdel test (must feature at least two women, they must talk to each other, and they must talk about something other than a man) a while back. To pass the Sonichdel test, a game must feature at least two characters that aren't Sonic or Eggman, they must talk to each other, and they need to talk about something other than Sonic or Eggman. Games that pass: SA1 (Knuckles and Tikal) SA2 (Shadow and Rouge, Knuckles and Rouge), Heroes (Team Dark) Shadow (obviously), 06 (Team Dark), Unleashed (only if you count the NPC sidequests), Frontiers (barely, since Knuckles and Tails have one conversation together that isn't about Sonic) Games that fail: Colors, Generations, Lost World, Forces (unless you count the Shadow DLC)
100% agree on the movies, it's nice to see Tails and Knuckles actually interacting and I hope we get more of it. Even Boom didn't give us much Knuckles and Tails interaction, with the OVA being the only animation where they actually hang out without Sonic >spoiler Yeah, I wish they'd turned up in the aftermath of the last episode >I did! We all know Sonic canonically lusts over human women! >>1599 I imagine it's pretty exclusive, but that all the main cast have standing invitations. Vector visits the most (which is why he's always broke), and Espiio tags along too when they're working a case. Amy and Blaze go there for a girl's night out, but only when it's quiet. Sonic drops by when there are human dancers, and likes to drag Knuckles along to make him flustered. Shadow and Omega live above the club when they're not on a mission, but probably don't visit the actual club very often.
>Sonic's story honest to god end with a love song Sonic the hedgehog 2006 "Sweet Dreams ['AKON Mix]" Music Request Okay it's honestly a banger but I've never been so baffled from this franchise in my life. I know about the kiss but never that and shocks me more. They were really fucking 100% serious with the romance between the two. Too bad it's shit like the rest of the campaign with the following
>sonic feels awful to play with his pointless gimped spindash, bounce and homing attack >shitty levels with glitches galore with shit gimmicks like boarding, mach speed, and the amigos who feel terrible to play (tails makes level design a joke with his flight but that's always been sorta the case in 3D games) >said shitty levels have moments to stop everything for terrible combat sections full of enemies with health bars >AWFUL bosses >shitty hubworlds (forest being the emptiest and largest one for no fucking reason) with ugly af graphics, humans, and locales >more on the graphics, lots of visual clutter making it hard to look at sometimes for levels >town missions are mid (sonic mans was kinda funny but pathetically easy to beat) >upgrades range from get you killed to super situational >story is super generic recuse the princess with elise constantly getting captured >said princess is bland and boring as shit with no real chemistry with sonic, who's equally as dull >really weird/forced romance between the two, sonic gets a bit fluttery around her
Welp, that was terrible to play. Bad gameplay and story focused around a dull princess they desperately wanted you to care for. Her dying from the egg carrier failing, which never gets explained, was funny. Elise, worst red head princess fr. not even conductor would touch her... maybe... To be a lil positive, I liked the music and radical train. It was kinda fun even if mach speed ruined the end of it. on to the next shitty campaign with edgy hedgy, i'm saving weed dude for last
>>1603 >not even conductor would touch her... maybe... I feel compelled to use her in some way. But that won't be for a while so I have time to think of something.
>>1604 Would be based if you had Sonic take a look at her and say >”DAMN THAT BITCH IS FINE!” With Elise saying the same I kid I kid. Whatever it is you do, it’ll probably be better than what 06 did with her.
>>1600 >Okay, you were saying....."The time has come, and so have, I'll laugh last 'cause you came to die, The damage done, the pain subside, And I can see the fear, clear, when I look in your eye" >....The fuck?
