I like that he figures it out through his expertise.

I don't understand the point of Victoria when Pickle exists.

>>16710
because Sonic's human woman lust has to be appeased

>>16703
Awww, they're friends with benefits now! I do like that Sonic being old friends of Mighty and Ray was kept. Oh and fun fact, Sonic only ever uses the insta-shield once in Archie
>>16704
Knuckles is actually pretty insightful when he's not riled up
>>16709
Oh boy, more lore confirmations that prove my unhinged speculations correct! As background, Gerald studied ancient civilizations and was interested in the fourth great civilization, which created and was destroyed by the Gizoid aka Emeral.

The fresh confirmation here is that the first great civilization was the Ancients (Chaos-shaped watery aliens that created the Chaos Emeralds, and are now Chao) and that the second was the Gaians (an ancient glob-spanning civilization of humans from 10,000+ years ago that created the Chaos Emerald powered Gaia Temples and wrote the Gaia manuscripts. No one knows what happened to them).

Considering that the fourth great civilization was destroyed by a gizoid with all seven Chaos Emeralds, we can speculate that to be one of the four great civilizations, you need to know how to use the Chaos Emeralds. Originally the fourth was the Nocturnus Clan, but Sega may have changed that since Chronicles is now non-canon. They were likely still Echidnas with advanced tech that was likely based on the Ancients' designs, considering Knuckles hints at this in his Frontiers prequel animation. They'll probably be called something else though.

As for the third, I've listed the Owl civilization from South and Westside Islands, the Knuckles tribe and the Babylonians as candidates but now that we have the "must have used the Chaos Emeralds" as a criteria, we can remove the Babylonians. The Knuckles tribe and Owl civilization were at war at some point, and the Owls escaped them by using the Chaos Emeralds to break South Island off from Westside, but the Echidnas did have them when Perfect Chaos destroyed their civilization and Tikal launched them into the sky.

My guess is the Owls are the third great civilization, and the Knuckles tribe are a special case where they're more of a Master Emerald than Chaos Emerald civilization, with their Nocturnus Clan offshoot being the fourth.

Oh, and I've mentioned this before but the four great civilizations is the Asian way of classifying civilizations based on which ones developed agriculture tied to a certain river first. The ones that meet this criteria are Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and China.

The western concept is similar but also includes the Americas, with the Olmec civilization of Mexico and the Caral–Supe civilization of coastal Peru.

My guess is it's to have an archeologist/historian that can actually go out in the field (i.e., where Sonic and friends will be having adventures). With Prof Pickle, he's stuck in his lab, which was fine for Unleashed since you're visiting human cities, but future games might not bother with that

>>16714
>My guess is it's to have an archeologist/historian that can actually go out in the field
They could've just had Pickle do that, like make it a joke that he's out and about despite his age.

>>16715
I can't believe I'm the one saying this, but honestly I think they're going for some of that Lara Croft sex appeal. It'll be interesting to see how famed human woman appreciator Sonic interacts with her

>>16716
If that's the case, why not also use Relic?
>>16711
Sonic is kinda overdue for a new fighter.

>>16709
Haha get fucked Tails. Jokes aside Victoria is perfect, voice is yum, design is yum and her taking her field seriously is pretty neat

>>16716
I know they won't to course correct from 06 but I'll genuinely find it funny and vibe for it if Sonic and Victoria have legit unintended chemistry

>>16717
They seem determined not to use anything from the comics, and wouldn't even let postboot characters appear in IDW
>>16718
Her outfit's super cute and very MMZero in style. I can't wait for the inevitable rule 63 art!

They 100% will even if it's unintentional. Also, I know it's a controversial opinion but Sonic and Elise were great together and no one would've complained if she looked like an Unleashed human or Victoria. Obviously they're not as cute a couple as Sonic and Knuckles, but still cute!

In non-Sonic related news:
New Rhythm Heaven (Rhythm Heaven Groove – Nintendo Direct 3.27.2025, Tomodachi Life sequel (Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream – Nintendo Direct 3.27.2025, and Ronaldo’s in Fatal Fury! (FATAL FURY: CotW ｜CRISTIANO RONALDO

>>16723
I love fanart that makes Elise a bird, have posted it last thread even but honestly she's not even that bad a character even if she looks jarring, her story and emotional struggle has a lot of potential but 06 let's it down.

Yeah Victoria is proof of how to do Sonic humans that aren't Dr Eggman though Sage also honestly showed how it can be done, it's actually turned me around a bit when I was a hardcore anthros only type for a good while honestly.

Marvel Comic Invasion is literally made for me, what I've wanted since Shredders Revenge finished. Way to many character I want in as playable or bosses but I'll just say Hank Pym is priority number one for me to get in at all.

Time for an opinion that may REALLY get me crucified here but I'll say it. I don't really like Tamer's stuff. In fact, I kinda hate it. I know that's blasphemy here and my language is a bit harsh but before you lot try to crucify me like St. Peter, hear me out. Frankly, I'm filtered by the artstyle, scatalogical elements, and text-to-speech voices (I'm weak, I know) but I feel like my main issue with it is it's effect on Underground's already lousy reputation. I'll tell y'all this, I grew up watching Underground here and there, so, I have a bit of a personal connection with the series. So, it's mostly lousy rep in the fandom is to me, not helped by Tamer's stuff. In fact, I think it CONTRIBUTES to it. and maybe I'm worrying too much but I have an original idea inspired by Sonic Underground mixed with either Gun Sword or Macross and frankly, I'm worried that bringing up Underground may lead to Tamer's stuff being mentioned and I wouldn't be the happiest from it. Mainly because I'm worried it would give people the wrong impression of my series idea. I know that tamer's stuff is probably important to y'all and I'll take your word that the later stuff is genuinely good but to me it sullied an already disliked part of this franchise and to someone like me, who liked what I watched of underground, I can't quite forgive the damage it's done. If I can throw tamer's stuff a bone, some of that fanart for Aleena is Mwah! *Chef's Kiss*

>>16724
If there's one thing this franchise needs, it's more lycanthropes!
>>16725
>Ronaldo’s in Fatal Fury!
WTF!?
>>16726
Nooo, she must be a human! Gamenic doesn't go for anthro women!

Victoria's design is absolutely fantastic and I'm really happy for Sonic Team. She's actually the culmination of over 17 year's work trying to find a suitable human artstyle post-06. We saw the over-correction with the Pixar humans in Unleashed, and then the total ban on humans until Victoria showed up in that Tailstube. From there, we saw her style applied to more humans in the Sonic Channel art until we finally got another human design in the games with Sage.
>>16727
Man, I just button mash those games ;_;

As the resident Tamers obsessive, HOW DARE YOU, I'LL CUT YOU WITH A KNIFE! 🔪🔪
Seriously though, as much as I love the Tamersverse, it's a character driven slice of life drama with occasional anime-esque fights with its humor steeped in the early 00s, and that isn't going to appeal to everyone. It's worth giving the MLP videos a watch though, since it's a lot more story driven

I wouldn't worry about making your own SU-related and having it compared. Even when we storytimed some SU fan continuation comics, it was pretty much just myself and a few others referencing the Tamersverse. FWIW Tamers explicitly positions himself as a SU fan and not a Sonic fan, and there's very little audience overlap between his work and the wider Sonic fandom

>>16729
>Ronaldo’s in Fatal Fury!
>WTF!?
That's basically one half of EVERYONE'S reaction to this, the other half being, "Hey, his moves are pretty cool!" I personally kinda fuck with it because let's keep a spade a spade, it's basically an embodiment of SNK's current existence. SNK's is currently owned by Saudi Arabia, Rolando currently plays for a Saudi Arabian team, and SNK's stuff have always been in Latin America, where soccer and players like Rolando are beloved in. As one Todd Howard best said it, "It just works!"

>>16734
*SNK's stuff have always been more popular in Latin America

>>16736
Why is she black?

>>16738
I think it's the shading.
>>16735
Oh, SNK is very popular in Latin America due to the ease/cheaper cost of their arcade machines and piracy. Angel from KOF was created after a match in KOF '98 between Mexican devs & KOF devs with her creation as the wager.

If the konductor's not here by 8pm, I'll do Idol✩Amy! instead. The show must go on!

Such a lust for revenge

Who's pulling these strings? Brother? Maria in a healing tank? Revenge?!

Since when did the Biolizard have hands? What a twist! Seriously though, I think everyone will be surprised by but enjoy this take on things
