Is SoJ developing the anniversary game or SoA? I keep hearing its SoA.

...

So what are any of you anons doing right now or planning to do?

Playing through Sonic 2 and trying to beat it before midnight. Currently at Hill Top act 2 after around 10-15 minutes

Goddammit OP actually try to link the previous thread

My mistake...

Played a bit of Sonic 1, but I don't think I'll finish it. I need to sleep.

Think it might be a little of both IIRC

Goodnight /sthg/ I'm off to play Tails Adventure. I'll probably miss most of this thread, but if there's an afterparty I might make it!

Have a nice after hours session.

Thread theme: youtube.com/watch?v=eiB80b1QZ4M

How much time you got left? Gonna make it?

Why is Tails smiling? Is it because he knows he's immortal?

>tfw depressed
At least I have Sonic
and you guys
R-right?

2 hours and I just finished Oil Ocean act 1 as I'm typing this. Those seahorses can go fuck themselves

Night user

Right!

>last thread was one of the fastest threads we've had
We did Sonic proud.

Yeah we got you user, don't worry. We're nothing amazing but we're here. Also some user made a post for you in the last thread.

The threads we've been having since 476 have been some of the fastest ever
We'll make it to 500 before the party

I'm actually a different user...
Well, it's good to know I'm not alone in the world.

Of course you have us user. Just like we all have autsim.

I'm curious to know which thread was our fastest? Was it one of the fighting arc threads? People seemed really hyped for Honey and the death of SOON

>autsim
25 years of autism

>Tfw bad at Sonic 2 and can't stop getting hit by everything in Metropolis Zone

Oh, well damn that means we got two depressed anons. seriously man we're here if you need us

Sonic Generations should have had DLC or some exclusive content shit or an update
It would have been nice to see Starlight, Casino Night (fuck the 3DS), Metropolis, Ice Cap, Flying Battery, Lava Reef, Emerald Coast (fuck the 3DS), Twinkle Park, Metal Harbor, Final Rush, Egg Fleet, Grand Metropolis, Kingdom Valley, Dragon Road, Starlight Carnival, etc in Generations

>UK leaves EU on Sonic's birthday

must be a sign

UK would stay he said
LOL

God how old is that statue?

Don't know but this statue is better

Well you are up against the unholy trinity, nearly impossible to go through there without getting hit.

>Choco Sonic.

The faster it runs, the faster it melts. If it fasts, it dies. But if it can't fast, is it a Sonic? Poor Choco Sonic, may you find peace. You sweetened up our life, a moment of quiet, for poor Choco Sonic.

Really wish we got more outfits from the Rio Olympic games

Aaron must have the best job. Man gets paid to make Sonic memes.

I dont care what anyone says

blaze has cat toes under there, and they're adorable
also who did pic related

So Team Dark is more or less the anti-heroic counterpoint to the Freedom Fighters. Now while it's all well and good that they seem to have an unspoken agreement to stay out of each others' way, it seems odd that they've never really had any kind of real conflict with each other (aside from Treasure Team Tango).

And yes, Hero vs Hero is a cancer blighting comics right now, but I don't see why the games can't do it. And it doesn't need to (and frankly shouldn't) last more than like one boss fight.

Really, I'm just trying to suggest a way for SEGA to, y'know, actually use all those characters they made up.

It's there in the picture user

Pic related is ABT, aka Adam Bryce Thomas. One of the official artists on the book.

Runs so fast its actually burnt chocolate. Not melted.

>fighting arc threads
Too bad I wasn't here during that time yet I was unfortunate to come around the storytiming of WU since that crossover was pointless.

Have they changed the name of the British pound to the quarter pound yet?

Speaking of Champions, How long after the Unleashed arc ends til Breezy comes back?

I give it an issue or two, she probably has business to discuss with Eggman I imagine.

How much do you think it'll cost?

ok then who did this

Some nice drawfag, think it was Saltcore actually

It will probably come with whatever the new game is as exclusive release content

When was the last ABT was here? Feels like it's been a while.

This O.P sure has gotten big since it first started

Lots of important stuff coming out

>last time*
My bad

That one britbong is gonna have a rough awakening when he wakes up.

Wasn't here for any of the times he came so can't say. I imagine the man is very busy drawing though.

>Rouge playing golf
So just how rich is Rouge anyway? We talking country club member, or owns a private course?

And she almost certainly has a vault in her house filled with gems that she uses as a swimming pool like friggin Scrooge McDuck, yes?

Did Generations do anything similar like that?

After an hour and 20 minutes, save state abuse (Only for Metropolis/Wing Fortress/Death Egg, mostly Metropolis), a Game Over, and lots of screaming, I beat Sonic 2 with 50 minutes to spare

well she IS a gem thief

Oh, and forgot to say one last time: Happy Birthday Sonic you blue fucking rat

Grats user, that a new record for you?

Sadly it likely is. I know I could've done better in a lot of places, and I've gotten really rusty. Just 6 months prior I could've gotten to Metropolis act 2 with no save states whatsoever But the important part is that I beat it

Oh yeah? I can beat it with all chaos emeralds without getting a game over
except as sonic accompanied by tails. Fuck you Tails stop running into bombs

I didn't even go for the emeralds because of Tails, and because I've never done it regardless

Eh its fine user, least you did something for the blue bastard himself. Planning on calling it a night?

Anyone here ever heard of Naeglaria? He speedruns Sonic 1 but more importantly isn't boring to watch.

A former gem thief. Now she's a government spy who gets paid in precious gems, and she's a night club owner, and a part time treasure hunter. She has at least two high grade sources of steady income.

Rouge isn't just rich. She's one of those people who is suspiciously rich. This is one of the many reasons I wish the games or comics would give us some insight into her private life, if only we can meet her accountant, who must be one of the happiest people on Mobius.

>never gotten the emeralds in Sonic 2
Trying to say you've never experienced the magic of Super Sonic in Sonic 2?

Sonic Generations should've had a lot of things, what it has is fucking great though but man they really missed their chance to make some massive bank with D.L.C.

I have, but it was via game genie
Probably listen to some Sonic music first, just reread Thicker than Water. Kind of want to reread another arc, but preferably something short since there's only 30 minutes

>game genie
Come on now user, you're better than that. The special stages are only so hard.

Sega dosen't seem too hot on DLC when it comes to Sonic. All Stars Transformed only had one track and a few extra guys.

I'm terrible at Sonic 2 and it'd take me ages to do it

It's really a shame cause even Unleashed's D.L.C wasn't that great. Maybe they just wanna focus on the next Sonic game as quickly as possible so don't bother?

This question has probably been asked a million times, but fuck it; I'm gonna ask it again.

Let's say the 25th game IS in the style of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, what would you like to see added, changed for removed?

Hard Mode:You have to have multiple playable characters.
Metropolis Mode:Shadow and Silver MUST be playable.
Eggman Land Mode:Big must be playable.

Why not just use save states for the special stages then? Still too hard?

Partially that, and partially because I have a hard time not getting hit before I get 50 rings and hit a checkpoint

Hard mode is easy mode here, all I'd really want is for their to be a chao garden again. That and maybe more emphasis on Sonic type levels than other levels for all characters.

Shit, I should've put the Chao Garden as Hard Mode.

If you wanna make it even easier you can just get all seven checkpoints in emerald hill zone acts and move on.

SOON

What levels would you have wanted in Generations as DLC?
I'd want these levels in packs
Classic Era Pack:
>Starlight Zone (or Marble Zone)
>Metropolis Zone
>Ice Cap Zone

Dreamcast Era DLC
>Emerald Coast (or Twinkle Park)
>Metal Harbor
>Egg Fleet (or Mystic Mansion)

Modern Era DLC
>Kingdom Valley
>Dragon Road
>Starlight Carnival

Maybe include extra levels like Quartz Quadrant to represent CD, Sky Troops to represent Shadow, etc

partying and burning EU flags

Am I the only one who finds Oil Ocean a shittier stage than Metropolis?
The Unholy Trinity of Badniks aside; it's really not that hard of a stage besides the obvious dick enemy placement.

Oil Ocean has that, and it's fucking cryptic with it's level layout with just how open it is. Plus it has spikes fucking everywhere, more than Metropolis IIRC.
Plus it's boss is just a more tedious version of Hill Top's boss.
And the worst part is is that Oil Ocean's music isn't even that great compared to ZZ-Top Metropolis.

Oil Ocean is bad, but Metropolis' absolutely dickish level design puts it over the edge. The only thing worse are those disappearing platforms in Wing Fortress that have really small windows for you to get past them. I died so many fucking times on that section

I've played Metropolis so many times that I'm able to avoid a lot of the shitty enemy placement. But Oil Ocean will always confuse the fuck out of me.

why can't trihex just stick to his own race.

literally who?

Oil Ocean rarely gives me shit, except for those fucking Sea horses. Metropolis just dicks you over at every turn. Finish a tricky platforming section? Shellcracker on the next platform. Running up a screw? 3 Asterons shoving projectiiles up your ass. Bounce off of some bumpers? You best bet there's a Slicer at the end waiting to fuck your face. Yeah, if you learn where all the enemies are then fine you can navigate Metropolis decently well, but it's not nearly as fun to play through (Fun being relative here) as Oil Ocean

ok lets limit this to just another era
DLC ERA

>Rival = Classic Knuckles
>Boss = Dark Pheonix (as modern Sonic)

>Level = Casino Night zone
>Level = Icecap zone
>Level = Metal Harbour

...

alright anons
since everyones going to sleep
it will be our job to keep this thread bumped

>Keeping the thread Bumped
Challenge accepted, I'm so glad me and another user requested this image.

>me and another user
I'm that guy you just replied to. I asked for Sage.

>guy you just replied to
Didn't ask for the thread to be bumped?

I asked for Sage in that image that was requested.

I'm too fucking high to figure out your exchange.

Oh ya, I liked that idea, glad it was included in the image.

DUDE WEED LMAO

...

So, is there any way to get character chao in the PC port of SA2? I know you can only get them through Action Replay on GC, but I was wondering if there was any way to get them on PC.
