What kind of metal would Breezie listen to?

DID YOU KNOW? - According to Eggman, the Wisps are more powerful than the Chaos Emeralds!
Eli Price
Eggman's mustache is real! REAL!
Christopher Davis
Dammit, I thought pic-related would be a perfect image for this thread.
Jonathan Morales
Omochao is a fucking liar. He thinks he's a know-it-all, but he's not.

did big get retconned from being blaze's dad?
Justin Torres
As part of MAME's 20th anniversary, they managed to get a dump of Segasonic Cosmo Fighter Galaxy Patrol
Hudson Green
Maybe it's a different Big?
Evan Davis
>Blaze's Dad That's Big's descendant.
He actually fucked someone.
Chase Brown
Pretty sure her dad is just a non-related big looking cat.
Jaxon Butler
Where can I get these comics?!

Why did the number of the images on the Booru go down?

Josiah Howard
I'm the guy who had trouble with generations. I tried to play 1 and even with save states I found it frustrating as fuck. I also thought it was not fun and not about going fast at all because if you go fast you die. I honestly think it was just another shitty platformer of the time, hard as fuck but without the fun of other challenging games.
>inb4 why the fuck are you even still trying if you hate it retard
I don't know. I honestly don't know.
Dylan Morgan
Consider quitting video games and pursuing movies. You're obviously not cut out for this >Sonic is about going fast meme
Jose Cox
...
Ethan Harris
>not about going fast Good job you figured it out.
Jose Flores
1 is more frustrating than the other classic games.
Jason Bennett
I find it funny that you have so much trouble.
It's probably not going to be the same for you as you obviously have a lot more trouble than me, but S3&K was the one that really sold me the classic games. I don't really like 1 or 2 that much, but I loved 3&K. But I don't think I would have if I had gone straight to it so I would still say man up and go through them and see how it is for you when you get there.
Adrian Garcia
What are your guy's thoughts on the different Sonic Boom writers pastebin.com/f2mYw8Jr
Christian Williams
FUCK OFF MAN! I just have a lot of trouble with these shitty games and it's pissing me off that they're not generally considered hard.
It's fucking annoying me. I can play games just fine.
Jaxson Brooks
The point of Sonic is to learn the level layout so you can go fast.
>Save states FUCKING SCUM
But seriously, this game was about trial and error, you'd go fast the first couple of times and get your shit handed to you. Several Game Overs you'd go slower but get further and then you'd die on a later level. But then you'd kinda know the previous level layout some more so you know roughly the way to go to save lives, and you'd attemot the part you died at again. Repeating, you'd get fucking great and fast at GHZ and Marble Zone by the time you start hitting the final boss.
Using save states just mean you never learn. DKC is better in almost all conceivable way though.
Angel Taylor
>It's shit because I'm bad at it and went into it with the wrong mentality Like I said, try not being shit at the game
Dominic Smith
>they're not generally considered hard. >I'm having a lot of trouble with it Sounds to me like you need to git gud.
Benjamin Martinez
Define what games. A while back you said Dark Souls was easy, but how many 2D platformers do you even play?
Xavier White
I never said dark souls was easy, just that I beat it. Not many, I mostly play mario games I guess. It can get kinda hard on later levels but it's always fun.
Joshua Martin
>Baseline difficulty is Mario Okay, now it makes sense. You can't handle a game that actively pushes you to get good and learn the mechanics rather than hold you hand
Asher Price
>Mario doesn't push you I don't know man, Sunshine was difficult as fuck. And SMB 3 gets ridiculous later on. Although there was more of an agreeable learning curve.
Josiah Brown
>SMB3 gets ridiculous Ha, wow. Though I will agree Sunshine is retarded, but only in certain instances
Ryan Russell
It doesn't help that the game is shit. I found the level design really shit so I don't even want to "get good".
>whole gimmick is gotta go fast >oh yeah let's make everything after first world slow with spikes and underwater and shit
James Miller
apparently the reason why the classic games had moments that made you slow down was to make the fast sections even faster
Brandon Watson
>whole gimmick is gotta go fast Nah nigga we ain't doin this again
Justin Richardson
>Whole gimmick is go fast There's that meme again. Even if Sonic 1 is not as good as the other Genesis games (Which you should give a shot as they are far better), it's still an alright game
You're like those journalists who hold righti n a Sonic game and when you die, you complain the game is too hard and the franchise is shit rather than making an effort to actually be halfway decent at the game
Dominic Nguyen
How the fuck is it not? It fucking is. That's the only thing he's got, he runs fast. Well excuse me for thinking the whole point was to go fast.
Generations, at least 3D sections, are all about that. Actually the most fun I had with this series so far.
Dominic Foster
I died a lot to World 7 + 8, ;_; I personally have played Sonic 2 it's not hard any more, I guess cause I haven't played Mario too much that's where my gripe is. Although Mario's a hard platformer in the old games. You ever completed Mario 1 son?
Brody Powell
Going fast is not a right, it is a privilege. Speed must be earned through skill, know-how, and a positive, can-do attitude.
Jacob Morgan
See Though if you really think Sonic is all about instant speed, play Rush. I'm sure you'll enjoy that and Advance 2. All you gotta do is hold right to win, should be good for someone of your skill level
Sebastian Perez
The point is he CAN go fast, not that he'll always be fast.
Even in modern Sonic, you still have to slow down on some sections or do some platforming here or there.
What do you want, just a running Sonic game where you jump after it gives you a 3 second warning to do so?
Easton Nguyen
I played rush a long time ago and I could 't beat a boss or something and quit. That's all I remember.
Maybe the series is just not for me. Stop saying I'm shit because it really triggers me. I'm not saying I'm good either, just average. The games are fucking hard.
Oliver Brown
>Stop saying I'm shit because it really triggers me. >Stop triggering me by telling me the truth >The games are hard I'm not shit Like I said before, git gud or git out. Maybe movies are more your thing. Then again you'd accidentally cut off your finger with the CD or some shit
Aiden Young
>Then again you'd accidentally cut off your finger with the CD or some shit That's harsh, dude.
Noah Evans
>complains he's shit >gives poor reasons for being shit >Don't call me shit guys
Try... not being shit? Or just find a different series. I dunno, if you like the comics and animation you can chill, or you really like the lore of Sonic or what have you, but I'd recommend DKC if you want a good platformer if you'd like.
Noah Davis
>Stop saying I'm shit because it really triggers me. Can you and everyone who thinks like you stop coming to this fucking general?
Cameron Garcia
What's considered non-/sthg/? I ask mainly because of ABT's work and the difficulty of knowing if Chauvels posted art here first or not.
William Morgan
Stuff that wasn't originally posted here. If someone doesn't know if it was or wasn't, post it here. I'm not the one tagging/pruning the galleries, just thought I'd help clear it up >or what have you, but I'd recommend DKC if you want a good platformer if you'd like. He'd probably bitch that he can only take two hits and proceed to die in the first level I guarentee it. Maybe Kirby is his speed, assuming he doesn't die to Wispy Woods

Robert Carter
Hey /sthg/ it's the cute barefoot girls hour! Post Sonic girls without their footwear, in a non-sexualized way, that convey pureness, delicacy, connection with nature... Don't care if it's paws, toes or blobs, everybody is welcome!
Colton Young
Capped for hilarity.
Jaxson Campbell
Go easy on him, anons.
Anyways, if you can't play the games, you got the shows, comics & other stuff. No need to leave the series, senpai
Nolan Cox
STOP THE GAMES ARE FUCKING HARD, IT'S NOT ME
You're making me go Sparky levels of autistic here but just stop. These fucking games are hard, not of average difficulty.

Ryder Thompson
>If someone doesn't know if it was or wasn't Kind of hard to know what you're clearing out due to the sheer amount of content; most won't immediately recognize something's missing. Best err on the side of caution.
Dominic Clark
>You're making me go Sparky levels of autistic here but just stop. These fucking games are hard, not of average difficulty. user, due to brain problems, I have awful hand eye coordination. I still cannot hold a pencil or pen the correct way, and I sure as shit can't throw a ball correctly. And yet I could beat the classic games. What's your fucking excuse? They're not that hard senpai True
Aaron Perry
The games get hard, sure. But practice and you'll get better.
>Sparky levels of autistic One, you'll never be THAT autistic. Two, if you know Sparky, then you've been here before, if you just like the comics or cartoons or shit then that's fine, but most of us have played the classics so much it's second nature to us to not be that bad at them.
Xavier Carter
...
Blake Campbell
"Average" would be clearing the game with no regard to time or completion %. Sorry user, but if you can't even beat Sonic 1 at least I don't know what to tell you.
Jayden Perry
You are autistic though, that's just fact.
Jeremiah Gomez
Speak of the retarded devil and he shall appear
John Collins
Goddamnit Sparky you could set a watch by you.
Sparky, you're pretty much a mainstay around here and it'd be weird if you were gone, but you hit autism levels that shouldn't be possible.
Leo Martinez
From someone who has completed the classics a lot, Sonic 1 is probably the hardest out of the bunch, with Sonic 3+K being considerably easier. Bosses are harder in S3+K though.
Ethan Gutierrez
You really aren't in the best position to judge, Sporky
Logan Sanchez
I usually leave up any art uploaded that's from someone who has drawn stuff here. Really, I just mostly get rid of art I know is just saved off of tumblr, dA, etc. that isn't made by anyone here/isn't related to /sthg/.
Noah Wood

Jacob Diaz
So what's the easiest and hardest Sonic games then? Or just general difficulty.
I'd imagine Generations is the overall easiest. Not sure about hardest. Rush got fairly annoying later on with the constant bottomless pits.
Christian Ramirez
I found sonic 1 to be quite easy up until the silver sonic fight near the end.
Also blue spheres is stupidly hard.
Nathan Roberts
...
Jose Jones
My problem is not that I can't beat them. My problem is that they don't even have a reputation for being hard unlike other games of the time but they clearly are, that's what gets me.
I lurked while playing generations.
Isaac Taylor
>Silver Sonic That's Sonic 2 amigo.
Jayden Perry
>Sonic 1 >Silver Sonic? >Blue Spheres?
Jace Clark
Generations is the easiest when not going for 100% missions.
Hardest is either Unleashed or surprisingly, Lost World. Or Sonic 2 Game Gear >Sonic 1 >Silver Sonic I'm gonna mcfucking slap yo >My problem is that they don't even have a reputation for being hard unlike other games of the time but they clearly are, that's what gets me. That's because most people have basic hand-eye coordination, something you obviously lack
Justin Howard
Speaking of difficulty, how do you think 2017 will rank up in terms of how hard it'll be?
Jonathan Myers
I think you mean Sonic 2, senpai.
Wyatt Myers
Hi, IGN.
Robert Thomas
They have good taste. What, do you seriously think Ice Cap wasn't the best Sonic 2 level?
