cuter cat
Okay so, Amyfag here. I didn't realise there were so many Blazefags here. What is the appeal? Is it ibkt? the fact that she's a spaghetti spiller? Or was there something about her playstyle in Rush that was appealing? Or is it just something as simple as her design or cat ears or something?
>Her nemesis is a descendant of eggman's
>she is seen along silver in 06 at the beginning of the game hinting that they share the same time and space origin
She's not from a different dimension at all, but rather from the future, am i right user? her world is supposed to be the same as sonic's only two hundread years beyond, right?
if so,explain sol emeralds?
...
>Not sweet
one job
First for ways of the old

>06
I believe that was retconned, user
Because Velo Nova is a kickass soundtrack and it goes great with Blaze.
Other cuter cat.
I'm actually more of a Amyfag myself but I made Blaze the OP since Vela-Nova was stuck in my head. Blaze is a cool & fun to play qt in Sonic Rush though.
>What is the appeal?
To put it simply, just about everything. Her playstyle in Rush was great, her design's good, but it's her personality, that mix of serious and spaghetti, that really puts it over the top and personality is the biggest reason I'm a stickler for ibkt, since she canonically has a complex about that. She's just 10/10 best girl, period.
Iizuka backtracked on that, like he has many things. But in general, 06 is non-canon, Blaze is from her own dimension, and Silver and Nega are running with their stories from Rivals.
Cutest cat.
>Iizuka backtracked on that, like he has many things. But in general, 06 is non-canon, Blaze is from her own dimension, and Silver and Nega are running with their stories from Rivals.
so...she's from a different dimension ... while silver and nega are from sonic's world in the future ? (never played rivals)
Who is jam?
>while silver and nega are from sonic's world in the future ? (never played rivals)
Correct, hence why pic related has so little basis in games that are actually relevant. They still have a nice dynamic though, it just requires games that aren't 06 to better flesh it out
thanks for the explanation guys. I've never had anything against blaze, I just never got the appeal. She seems more like an older sister than a love interest. In my eyes anyway. But I'm interested in what makes her appealing.
Juice's boyfriend.
>Corrects the number but forgot to give us a new groove to listen to.
Fuck you.
Yeah, I realized that afters, my mistake.
>tfw will never be attend this and get a signature
Behold, some shitty mock-ups of the zones I plan on making
R8 or H8, either way I'll appreci8
Robotnik Armada is misleading because there aren't actually gonna be egg pawns or even those kinds of ships.
I hope to God this ILEC place has air conditioning
Nebula zone looks mondo rad. Keep us updated on that.
I hope the lawsuit doesn't kill the comic.
All look like they've got some cool potential.
We just have to hope for the best user, stay strong.
>Cloud Climb Zone
Is there going to be a giant fan of sorts to push the character up?
>Nebula Zone
You're going to need coffee and pills for when you work on that one.
>Neon Mesa
I hope the ground tiles look better in the final.
Other than that, I can definetly see something good coming from this. Good luck!
>Is there going to be a giant fan of sorts to push the character up?
In the actual level there will be more visible updrafts, but yes the mechanic is based off the fans in Wing Fortress
>You're going to need coffee and pills for when you work on that one.
What?
If you're saying it's a heavy workload, my idea was to compress the background down to 16 colors (or whatever the maximum is) and using that

>I hope the ground tiles look better in the final.
These are just quick mock-ups, when I actually make the tileset I plan to actually put in effort
Glad to hear you guys like the ideas
i think he means hacking in grinding will be hard
Grinding?
Oh I guess that kinda does look like a rail
Well it's not, think Starlight Carnival or Rainbow Road
Not one to do unboxing type posts but this is essentially a follow-up from before. The covers are all of very nice quality and while the Universe pages are a lower quality than the archive ones as it uses cheaper paper, it still looks great and is vibrant.
Please support the official release.
...
I had an idea for a stage recently. The environment in Sonic 17's trailer looked a little western to me, and I like casino zones, so I combined the two and made "Dynamite Casino". I'd post sketches, but my scanner is broken.
Sounds kinda cool.
What kinda music?
Classic casino-level typel music?
Or something original and more cowboy to fit the western theme?
>take Sonic gameplay
>use it for new female character with some adjustments
>introduce her in a enjoyable fast paced game with a catchy soundtrack
>add stoic nature that is balanced out by social awkwardness that makes her adorable
Perfect desu
I take it back about Universe, it's just the Scourge Trade that has low quality paper, everything else is high quality.
Sonic was never good.
A 25 year lie.
IGN please
'kay
It would be upbeat and fresh, like the classic music, but also cowboyish and goofy. The player would be playing slot machines while trying to avoid dynamite explosions, western shootouts and Badniks dressed like bandits/indians.
>Scourge
>low-quality knock-off
Appropriate.
Question about Knuckles in Sonic 2
Does the rom still have Sonic and Tails' data and would I be able to use said rom to have three playable characters?
And is all of this nullified by S&K being an impenetrable wall of code?
Night guys
It's gonna be great
She should be wearing a sling bikini and Eggman
06 is nonsense crap that erased itself from the canon.
I like bathing suits.
>Knuckles in Sonic 2
If the rom is disassembled it should have all three characters art and necesary code in the files
>Could I have all three characters ready to go?
Technically, no. You would have to re-add them to the game via assembly programming.
So get all three but manually add in Sonic and Tails or just get Sonic and Tails
I think I'll go with the latter, thanks user
...
>Little is known about the Power of the Stars. According to Eggman Nega, it is a form of energy that separates and sustains the existence of parallel dimensions, such as Sonic's dimension and Blaze's world, allowing them to co-exist.
>While the upper limit of the Power of the Stars is unknown, it is known that it far surpasses even the combined power of the Chaos Emeralds and Sol Emeralds,[1] and that just a fraction of it is enough to completely annihilate Blaze's kingdom. It is said that the user of the Power of the Stars has the power to destroy both of the realms. It can also, if the user wishes this, merge the two realms together and the user of the power reigns as king of that realm. It has a connection with the Jeweled Scepter, which is the key to tapping the Power of the Stars, which can only be done in some ancient ruins deep beneath Southern Island
At some undetermined point in the future, the Power of the Stars is corrupted, resulting in both worlds merging and getting fucked up, resulting in Silver's ruined future. Since Nega is from Silver's future, he can time travel freely to both Sonic and Blaze's worlds because they're the same world in the future. Blaze is still alive in the future because cats have nine lives but the progression of time has affected her memory, hence why she doesn't really remember Sonic.
Oh mama
Maybe in the events of bad future 06 there was a resonance casquade that ended with both worlds merging up?
MAMA?!
That's Mama Robotnik to you sonny
is it just me or do i see the older sprite behind Mania Sonic there
Where did you get this?
If the Sol Dimension is really Sonic's world in the future, then how did the Sol Emeralds come into existence?
It's just a screenshot from the trailer
yeah about half a second before he goes offscreen
It's not in the ps4 trailer,probably just forgot to hide the layer
Time for previews
Just completed Sonic 2 with my brother Fuck Metropolis Zone why did they shove an enemy at the end of every platforming segment to knock you off and have shit coming out of the walls.
To force you to pay attention instead of holding right to win.
Also, for the fags at SoS, Hesse is doing free sketches tomorrow as long as you give him something to draw on.
but why would it be there? it doesnt make sense
You missed a page.
Not him but the other zones did that better. The enemies in that zone are badly placed
Shit you're right
>Amy/Rouge teamup antics.
I didn't start reading the arcie comics until recently but I'll be DAMNED if it doesn't have a lot of shit I really wanted to see.
That's lewd, Rouge.
Like my tits?
BUMP. SKETCH. WHEN.
Also, happy birthday Bump!
...
>Immobilization
>Piko-near spank
>"Something BIG is coming" Panic
>Dat bat ass in the last panel
Someone is inserting their fetishes into the comic again.
>Except they were pleasant
Confirmed
poor dumb knuckles.
also it's canon he has no idea how he came to be guardian of the master emerald now? like he just woke up and was like THIS IS MY JOB/
And that's that
Wouldn't be surprised. Sega doesn't want to fucking explain it
Correct, just like in Adventure 1.
How many issues come out a month of both the main series and Universe?
Probably just an animation error or something only in the trailer. Whitehead and Stealth would probably have caught it if they were behind the trailer as well as the game.
Whose the madman willing to ask for that?
Probably not me
Knuckles not freaking out more kinda disappoints me.
1 per
Every fucking time.
Supposed to be every four weeks for each, meaning a new comic every fortnight. Obviously give or take Archie being Archie.
1 per month for both, though it's changed a couple of times these past few months. We got 2 main issues in June and we're getting 2 Universe issues this month because there's an extra week. Usually it goes
>Main issue>Week of nothing>Universe
Still got an entire issue to go. Plus the inevitable rage when he finds out he's been had
wait, really? I haven't played Sa1 since it came out on the dreamcast but they literally have him mention in a cutscene he doesn't know why he's the only echidna and has to guard the emerald? He just does it out of instinct?
Sonic 2 needed the insta shield
>this fucking linework
WHY THE FUCK IS ABT NOT ON THE MAIN COMIC?
Basically yes. Pretty sure he mentions it at the beginning and end of his story.
To be honest part of me likes that idea. Like you live on an island with a giant gem of ultimate power that supplies life and energy to your entire floating island. You'll probably just instinctively say "I must protect this." It's like...instinct.
are you still that annon making a romhack from before ?
That would not help with Slicers
The unholy trinity of Metropolis badniks are all bad for different reasons
Slicers are placed shittily
Shell Crackers are just shitty
Asterons are the most okay because playing smart actually can beat them out
Because Universe is the superior product.
Yep
>She seems more like an older sister than a love interest
What does that have to do with Blaze being great?
>This is someone's fetish.
That split 2nd invic would let you phase through their attacks. It would allow you attack Shell Crackers from the front. Also they need to make it so when you press jump in the air you can curl into a ball. I don't like how when you get launched by a spring you can't attack.
I tried being cautious but it felt a lot of those moments were unavoidable, and when I was 3 rings away from going super some spikes came out of the floor which I had no idea where there and there was no indication of them. It could also be because I'm rusty.
