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.
/sthg/ - #546 - Archie Canon > Game Canon Edition
>Link CompilationDrawfag/Writefag Idea WallsNews/DevelopmentsRecent Releases
It was fun as a one off but making a series out of it seems like a stretch and we have enough characters as it is without sonic teaming up with sonic again.
Luis Peterson
user no
he doesn't exist so no
Wyatt Ross
>He's still a character that at one point existed. He's still canon to the comic universe. 251 didn't make all that shit "not canon", it just reset everything.
Tyler Johnson
Why do you think most people are far more interested in Mania? 2017 will sell, but Mania is where all the hype is at.
Carter Cox
Sonic isn't that arrogant. Shadow isn't that "edgy". Silver isn't that much of a loser. People need to learn who they really are.
Oliver Carter
Probably, but it would be from that boost from the M.E.
Ian Fisher
No. Probably not.
Juan Anderson
They should be
Ryan King
Sorry to burst your bubble user he isn't part of the comics anymore he doesn't exist anymore and he certainly isn't coming back
Jonathan Cooper
No
Kevin Powell
>Is Scourge more powerful than sonic? Yes. But not to the extent that Sonic can't hold his own and pull an upset
>And shadow? Yes. Archie Shad is actually less capable than Sonic. Game Shad is roughly even. Sonic X Shad is OP as fuck.
Sebastian Turner
Saved for the collage of people that believe this
Hudson Clark
see Im worried that's too far in the other direction as well. It looks fun but nostalgia pandering can only go so far.
I want the series to be good again but I really don't want it to just jack off to the genesis trilogy and ignore eveything that's come since.
Nathan Anderson
A lot of fans think Silver doesn't have as much experience as a hero.
But the truth is, that isn't the case.
In Sonic '06, he's been fighting Iblis for years. In Sonic Rivals, he's been fighting Nega for years.
Owen Brown
No. He was just temporarily amped by the power of the Master Emerald.
Julian Kelly
>I want the series to be good again but I really don't want it to just jack off to the genesis trilogy and ignore eveything that's come since. It's what most people want. Plain and simple. Relax, 3D sanic isn't going anywhere.
Nicholas Garcia
We've tried 3D games for almost 2 decades now. It hasn't worked. And even the people that liked Generations are more interested in Mania for the most part. Sometimes a series just needs to stick to its roots. That being said, you'll always have new expiramental 3D sonic games, so it's not like they're taking the new games away or anything.
Elijah Hernandez
Id love to see the other characters done up in official 16 bit mega drive sprites
Andrew Gutierrez
>temporarily If it was temporary, he wouldn't still be green.
Grayson Hall
>Having collage of user's telling you that green edgy Sonic isn't coming back I mean we all are bit autistic in here but come on
Zachary Morris
>yfw
Jack Martin
Who cares? Haven't watched them in years
Josiah Jones
>Sonic X Shad is OP as fuck how so?
Adrian Ward
Good thing that'll never happen.
James Price
Maybe they should only release a 3d game every once in a while. Like every 5 to 10 years. Stick to 2D Genesis style games every other time
Joseph Jones
I mean, it's a little upsetting to know people will take anything Arin says as fact, including "Sonic was always bad."
It will happen eventually, mark my words.
Gabriel Russell
well Im happy with 2D or 3D really I just don't like it when devs pull to hard the old HEY REMEMBER YOUR OLD SYSTEMs nostalgia chain.
You can do a 2D sonic game in modern graphics and fine ways to incorporate the extended history and characters.
Ryan Bennett
I assume Arin wouldn't fuck up the daytime sections as bad as he fucked up adventure. But even if he did I think he'd be like "haha I can actually control him for once" and then Danny would say "Yeah." because Danny is in constant agreement.
Charles Hughes
The physical mutation wasn't a transformation to that degree.
Juan Roberts
Didn't they do S3&K at some point and Arin got BTFO?
Jayden Morris
Eh, nothing Sonic related they could do will ever be better than the 06 stuff.
Mason Stewart
>Like every 5 to 10 years No that's an autistically long time. Should be something like every 3 to 6 years.
Elijah Howard
As a guy who thinks BvS isn't as bad as people make it out to be, I'll say that it really doesn't matter. At all. Like what you like and support it.If other people don't agree with you don't take it personally.
Tyler Phillips
I believe with Ross. I remember Ross talked about Penders in an episode too
Liam Smith
Or maybe, they should stop being gayboys and make a solid 3D game instead of trying to make the games all about some gimmicks. Probably but no time soon. Black Knight made him too mad to do something like that. Yeah, it was pretty good.
Christian Long
I'd prefer if they swapped out every year to give each gameplay style a chance and a breather:
>year1: 2D >year2: Boost >year3: Adventure
rinse and repeat
Jacob Wood
>Still watching post Jontron Game grumps.
Anthony Price
Why not just let Sonic die? Why can't Sega just let him go?
Sebastian Lee
I know what I am going to do today.
I am going to play Sanics.
Brayden Gonzalez
Honestly I'd rather they just release Genesis-esque games on handheld or as download for console independent of their 3D games. Just have a separate team working on some side scrollers while main team takes their time on 3D. And when I say genesis-esque I mean gameplay wise. Because I wouldn't mind them using those games to mess around with having different characters like Rush and the advanced games did (other than Sonic, knuckles and tails)
Robert Garcia
Why not just let Mario die? Why can't Nintendo just let him go?
Ryan Mitchell
I'd rather be able to play those games on PC with a proper controller
Luis Brown
Mario is the most famous fictional character in the world after Jesus though.
I should be drawing but..eh. Never really played them.
Daniel Morgan
Yup
Noah Baker
No. Fuck off back to dA or stadium or whatever shithole you came from.
Cameron Wilson
Hope you have fun.
Gavin Hill
Sorry you can't accept that my reinventions of the characters (Especially the Freedom Fighters) improve these stale characters
Noah Richardson
>improve Nope.
This shit is reminding me of 15-20 years ago when every edgy teenager wanted Sonic to be some edgy asshole. Was retarded then and you're retarded now.
Josiah Cooper
>making characters batshit/jerks is an improvement
William Evans
Better than making them as Carebear tier childish cutouts as they've been for years now
Hunter Jackson
Why don't you just play something else rather than complaining about the characters you hate aren't what you like?
Nathan Evans
Because I want to see this franchise imrpove
Owen Sanchez
b l o g I've read sonic the comic and it's stupid. end b l o g
Austin Cook
It's like me going to the Mario general It's probably a nintendo one sue me and saying Mario would be a more interesting character if he was a father of 5 with a mortgage and a drinking problem and then say that that would make him an interesting character, without taking into account what the character is or the target audience.
Wyatt Rogers
>Jesus >Fictional Wut?
Matthew Hernandez
user, don't bite
Grayson Phillips
Oh god please don't.
Jaxson Hernandez
haha you know god is not exist -r/atheism
Carson Sanchez
deploying penders
Angel Powell
Except most of my changes aren't that radical. The only ones that could be considered that are Rouge, Sonic to an extent, Antoine, and Bunnie, and Antoine is just being reverted to SaTAM
Jaxson Reed
>sonic to an extent Also, while I don't want to turn feminist, you've turned two of the capable women in the series into lusting after the hedgehog dick without realising their lovers a twat.
You have also made sure no-one is friends with anyone in a series that promotes friendship.
I just don't get the choices you've made. I know you think it would make them more interesting, but Sonic Adventures were good in tone and depth for the characters, your ones are a bit too much I think.
Jordan Wood
Sonic is Gay. Tails is confused because he's gay for Sonic but no one else and is straight otherwise. Knuckles is straight. Sally is lesbian to Nicole. Nicole is an AI who was programmed to have personal feelings only for Sally. Bunnie is straight. Antoine is straight. Amy is straight. Cream is straight. Shadow is asexual. Rouge is straight. Vector is straight. Charmy is __kill. Espio is straight. Eggman is asexual. Omega is firesexual. Blaze is straight. Silver is straight.
Prove me wrong.
Tyler Mitchell
...
Camden Torres
>Sonic is gay The only romantic feelings he's shown at any time, while limited, are towards the wimminz. >Tails is gay for Sonic Hero worship, but goddamn it may as well be. I think the writers know this and give him a grill every cartoon.
>Shadow is asexual Marialookshorrified.jpg
>Sally x Nicole But user she computes from there
>programmed for Sally Fucking hell that would make Ellidy one sick bastard
Everything else seems in order though, pass through.
James Gutierrez
>Tails and Eggman aren't robosexuals
Jackson Davis
Shit forgot to include those my bad user, feel free to correct me.
I also forgot Rotor fuck.
Wyatt Gray
I want to give the characters actual depth and if that means making everyone less buddy buddy than so be it. Rouge also has trouble connecting with people in general if that helps
Leo Ross
Ian's already said he has no plans to bring LGBT stuff in the comic
Jackson Adams
How is this a real person. How.
Jack Edwards
Everyone forgot about Rotor
I really don't think LGBT stuff should be in a kids comic. A teen comic maybe...
Alexander Martinez
>Eggman is asexual
Would explain things, his other attempts at love were purely romantic
Brody Taylor
Have all Sonic characters abandoned their chao?
Matthew Carter
No, they've buried them.
Robert Lee
Chao Garden isn't canon
t. Iizuka
Connor Cruz
Chao went extinct.
Benjamin Turner
Any developments on the lawsuit against Archie?
Justin Gonzalez
I think it could be tackled in a kids comic, but not really Sonic.
Jaxon Watson
None that I'm aware of. Might be awhile, really.
Ayden Reed
>There are people in this general right now who don't want another Sonic Battle.
Adrian Russell
Tbh the series promoting friendship non stop is what made the characters stagnate
Christopher Ward
Hey, if Pokemon can do a halfway decent 3D fighter, why can't Sonic? Maybe add some bantz in-between fights to keep things interesting.
Jayden Gomez
>Maybe add some bantz in-between fights to keep things interesting. Literally every fighter after Street Fighter 2.
Jeremiah Bailey
Post zodiac signs for sonic characters /sthg/
Noah Turner
They are either scum with shit taste or have never played the original. There is no other explanation. Sonic Battle was really good despite the grind.
William Smith
that would require sega to throw money at a developer to get it made or find some of their employees that aren't working on something and teach them the necessary skills to make a good fighting game
Gavin Bell
Sonic is a Gemini for sure
Ryder Russell
Sega makes Virtua Fighter just take the team from that and make a Sonic Fighter.
