Welcome to Sonic the Hedgehog general. Let's talk about Sonic games, old and new, and the entire franchise including animation and comics. Share art, music, talk about new developments, discuss ROM hacks, speedrunning, etc.
The story's so dumb but I kind of love the cheesiness, it's endearing.
Ian Perry
>endearing I don't know how your brain is wired but that is the last thing almost anyone would say about that shit's story.
Cameron Ward
I'm talking more about the tone, not the actual plot.
Asher Mitchell
And?
Brandon Taylor
It had a corny villain and the voice acting was kinda bad and the characterisation needed a lot of work but I liked some parts. There's worse stories.
I mean I play it on classic mode any time I go back to it but y'know.
Nathaniel Roberts
...
Lincoln Ortiz
What singer does she sound like?
Jack Flores
Yeah I can't see myself playing adventure mode through again. Is Carol's story different in any way cutscene wise or should I just go classic?
Matthew James
>There's worse stories. There's always worse. Doesn't stop it from being irredeemably bad and straight from a 14 yr old on ff.net, m8.
Alexander Scott
Yes, Ian has mentioned Megadrive is in continuity to the main book in several interviews and on his twitter.
Jacob Stewart
Can we actually try to discuss Sonic please? I'm really tempted to say Avril Lavigne
Daniel Rivera
Meant for
Mason Cruz
I can't really think of any female 90s punk leads that weren't cancer.
Bentley Perry
...
James Garcia
A bad vocaloid like Miku
Kayden Taylor
When Lilac buggers off from the group it shows what happens with Carol, but apart from that, not much. Skip the story until then or just watch the whole thing to remind you how much you love it. May as well play it once, then classic all the way from then on.
It didn't include any romance so it's bearable at least. Still pretty cringey mind you.
Adding romance would have been the only thing they could have done to make it worse. It's 06 tier. But I'm done talking about a non-Sonic related game here. It's not needed.
James Morris
Mina sings well, there is a reason why Sonic and all those people came for her concerts.
> inb4Eggmandidn'tlikeit
Yes, and he also dislikes sunshine, happiness and rainbows.
Grayson Hill
Easy one.
Ethan Lewis
What is this picture supposed to be?
Juan Martin
That image does things to me that I am not comfortable with.
Justin Jenkins
It's not like Sega's giving us anything new to talk about.
But oh well, here's hoping we get a game that isn't Fire and Ice this year. Not that I think it'll be awful but an anniversary game would be nice.
Jackson Ramirez
Mina going through a bad girl phase a la Miley Cyrus
Caleb James
I just hope it keeps its standalone nature completely. Even if it becomes more than one-shots.
While I wasn't the biggest fan of it, I liked that the Boom comic was in no way tied to the main book, gave a nice refresher and alternative.
Austin Stewart
>I just hope it keeps its standalone nature completely. Even if it becomes more than one-shots. Judging from the way Ian describes it, it seems like it's going that route.
Gavin White
Eggman didn't like Mina's trash because he has taste.
Camden Cruz
is that supposed to be Demi Lovato?
Jaxon Young
you still have to record Pollock at SoS for /sthg/
Angel Taylor
Didn't Nicole dislike it too?
William Robinson
Yes. She called it overrated
Matthew Perez
Different user
But sure, I can try. Jeeze it's close
James Diaz
...
Levi Sullivan
>no Tower in the thread
Lucas Butler
It should be implied that tower was there at the ARK job. Better yet, he was the field commander in charge of clearing the ark out and killing the scientists. Just for an extra kick in the ass to Shadow for following him.
Owen Martin
Tower was a kid when that all happened.
Wyatt Thomas
Alright, gonna need to see Tower dressed or undressed I guess as Urien. In suit or in his banana hammock, doesn't matter.
Adrian Bailey
But that makes no sense. He was a kid when all of this went down. In fact he was best friends with Maria. His entire backstory is fucked
Brandon Moore
So Sonic, the other freedom fighters and everyone else don't?
Ryan Collins
Technically, as of Worlds Unite, Boom was in continuity with the main comic. It was just a different dimension that never interacted with the main one apart from that one time.
I'm thinking Megadrive might work the same way, because Genesis portals.
Colton Martin
>Urien
Who? Honestly asking here.
Easton Hall
Exactly.
Camden Myers
Street Fighter character In an interview that came out today, Ian basically said it takes place in the comic's past, but it can still be read as standalone
Grayson Turner
This bronzed greek god right here.
Sebastian Barnes
She probably prefers electronica. :^)
Luke Flores
>In an interview that came out today, Ian basically said it takes place in the comic's past, but it can still be read as standalone
Well, nevermind then. Just got back from work, didn't feel like reading through last thread since this just started.
Michael Bell
Nah, I'm sure it's the same Sonic. The flashbacks, Genesis of a Hero, Megadrive. All the same continuity.
Joseph Wood
My only exposure to Street Fighter is in the vs games and I'm usually into those for whatever Capcom is versing against. No wonder I didn't know him.
Carson Myers
Ah, didn't realize. He strikes me as a 60-70 year old, not a 50-60 year old. Figured he'd might be a young soldier, not a kid. Didn't realize he had some backstory already. I don't remember that.
Adrian King
I don't get it.
Jose Cruz
It's in Shadow, the only game he's appeared in.
Gabriel Baker
The European versions of the Genesis trilogy ran at half the framerate of the North American versions Yeah, it's from Shadow
Joshua Harris
In Shadow's game he mentions he's a grandfather. I think he was around Maria's age when the incident on the ARK happened and she was 12 I want to say. So 60-70 is about right.
I dunno if I should, but since I'm not doing anything anyway I will bite: and how do you know that?
Please explain in universe why does Robotnik have good musical taste seeing that pretty much everything he hates is what other people think is good (ie if you said genocide is bad he answers 'nope it's good!'), and why does Sonic, Tails and the other FFs (mind you, which many also have experience with music) have bad musical taste considering that, for example, one of Sonic's main traits is liking cool things. Plus the giant amount of fans and all else.
Is it the contrarian is always right (such as flowers are the true menace, robotizing animals is good), I hate the character so she sings bad or I like contradicting the comics main narrative?
Carson Turner
Brits love their Sonic
Sebastian Morgan

Colton Johnson

Aiden Rogers
Goddamn, stop taking everything people say here at face value.
Cameron Bennett
Noice
Kayden Barnes
Thanks, doc.
Logan Davis
This is true autism.
Isaac Davis
> it was just a ruse
That's better.
Gabriel Thompson
She was comforting Sally.
At first Sally was above the petty "well THEY'RE NOT SO GREAT ANYWAY" pity party, but joined in once she saw Sonic with Mina.
Julian Sullivan
We all knew it was a ruse 48 minutes ago, mate.
Jordan Russell
Are we getting issue no.283 today or has it been delayed? Previews are saying it's out today (the 29th).
Juan King
What about 35 minutes ago? It's out today, someone just storytimed it a week early
Lucas Edwards
Presumably the ruse knowledge would've continued, but theoretically a case of acute localized amnesia could have also occurred.
Grayson Hughes
>MARIA WAS THE ONLY FAMILY I HAD
>EVEN MY FAMILY DIED BECAUSE OF YOU
Well meme'd me
I was merely pretending to be retarded
Levi Martin
We should storytime it anyway. Was a good issue, and now there are better quality pages available.
Tyler Rodriguez
>not running with both arms behind his back
Christian Williams
>Good issue I'd say it was a rather weak issue. It was basically an entire issue of exposition and set up
Andrew Bennett
And that makes it bad? >even implying that Eggman master planning is weak I need you to stop.
Isaac Brown
No, not pretending. I was just retarded.
Jonathan Taylor
I figured so (this is why I said 'I dunno if I should...'), but I had also seen that autism before (in another thread about Mina singing) so this time I had to see if it was really a minahater or just rusing. I'm happy it's the later.
Caleb Allen
No, just kind of boring to be honest. Second half was better but it was still set up.
Liam Smith
But it was hype set up, with Eggman literally masterplanning all over the place.
>It's going to be a tough fight >It'll be a SLAUGHTER
Asher Powell
Hype for Chaotix story post Amy/Knux.
Caleb Reed
Nah, no reason to do it again.
Logan Price
...
Zachary Sanders
> no Knux/Amy
Jace Richardson
I really wish we had people around here who speak moon, because I have a feeling that line makes more sense in the Japanese dub.
