/sthg/ #668 - Valentine's Edition

What is with this general always having holiday editions several days before the actual holiday?
Easton Walker
/sthg/, do you have a Valentine in real life?
Justin Perry
Alright.
no.
Chase Fisher

Jayden Wood
valentines day is shitty meme holiday and is nothing but cringe
Christopher Reyes
Word. Why would I buy someone else chocolates when I could just buy them for myself? People can buy their own fucking chocolates.
Brody Butler
If you're not going to build your game around momentum-based physics with slope-based level design then there's actually no point. It wasn't even needed in Sonic Adventure other than as a "press X to go fast" button.
Evan Parker
CRAWLING IN MY CRAWL
Connor Brown

Nolan Jenkins
its crawling in my skin dipshit
Josiah Brown
Hey, you put me on the spot
John Ortiz
THESE WOUNDS THEY NEED ELIXER
John Price
How big do you think Galaxy's lewd folder is?
How much of it do you think he personally contributed to?
Adrian Rodriguez
Probably a lot, mostly from robot/AI sex and such.
Robert Moore
Surely Geoff's Naug-rapeface would work better here
Brandon Richardson
Asking again, what the fuck is the point of rolling in Generations? You actually LOSE speed going downhill in a ball. Why can't Sonic Team program actual physics when Dimps has been doing it since Sonic Advance 1.
Isaac Cook
Why still have spin when you can BOOST?
Julian King
Classic and Modern have to use the same set of physics because that's how the engine works. Modern is spot on but Classic suffers.
Dylan Powell
Dimps has been bad for about 6-7 years now. As a matter of fact, they're responsible for some of the worst physics ever in Sonic.
Dominic Hill
nope, but my oc i've had for 5 years does
>tfw fake hedgehogs get more social interaction that you do
So?? They don't have any chemistry in the slightest.
Hudson Martinez
>when Dimps has been doing it since Sonic Advance 1. Dimps made Sonic 4, user.
Cameron King
...
Hunter Barnes
This. Mostly because Nicole can't (And really shouldn't) feel love
Grayson Davis
Who cares? If you can relate two characters with one thing it makes them ship worthy.
Owen Morris
Because Shard clearly liked her and they were getting along quite well. Also, Shard basically had no one else due to needing to be kept a secret.
James Nguyen
I'll reply to you with an idea of my own (that I'm sure others have though of)
Sonic Heroes 2 Playable characters - Team Sonic, Team Rose, Team Dark, Team Chaotix, New team Characters each have a defining trait. Amy plays like she does in adventure 1 but faster. Espio can throw shuriken and turn invisible, etc. Main mechanics are the ability to mix and match team members, however, you can only ever have 2 team members at once, with the last acting as support if one dies, it will not use a traditional lives system. For example, if you're using Sonic and Tails, and Sonic dies, Knuckles replaces him or vice-versa. There should be a hub where you can interact with all the heroes and pick levels from.
Noah Bailey
they aren't shipworthy and shard is a cunt
>clearly liked her wot? he never showed any affection to her. by your logic, larry fucking lynx liked her because he was around her a while during the SFF arc.
Ayden Jackson
Shard should've snapped and gone evil desu. OR died. Or died and come back evil bringing his character full circle
Nathaniel Evans
Because Shard had a crush on her.
Ayden Long
that would be nice, actually. he'd make a much better villain.
Samuel Gutierrez
you're projecting out your ass, man
Nolan Ross
Agreed. Be a nice fake out for those expecting a redemption arc for him and hammer home the point of the overarching story which was "Everything is awful", which is why I also wanted Sally to bite it because her character was fucked beyond repair, and Antoine to die/stay dead because his arc finished a long time ago
Hudson Cook
>le turn character evil or kill them
I have no clue why you guys are trying, since none of the preboot shit matters anymore. Find something else to shitpost about.
it could be really interesting if he returned, pretended nothing had changed and then secretly plotted everyone's demise. Maybe he could have been brought back reprogrammed by some unknown new villain they could save for later.
Joshua Jackson
BTW, now would be a good time to say: Don't respond to shitposters. Report, ignore, do not bother with them. They'll fuck off on their own.
Owen Collins
Don't you understand? Every character except Sonic and Eggman has to die. They're all finished in terms of story arcs and they can't possibly have any new ones. They're all just terrible OCs anyway, nobody would miss them.
Carter Bennett
Is there a shitposter here right now?
David Brown
we aren't shitposting, we're having an interesting convo about hypotheticals.
Aiden Nelson
True, but since Metal is not allowed to have a personality, Shard can be the Metal with personality Not shitposting senpai, just throwing out ideas of how the pre-reboot could've been better. Fuck me, I would've loved it if King Naugus went full EXTERMINATUS and started killing off characters left and right, though a lot of them would have to be either minor character, characters like Geoffrey who were raising death flags left and right, or a huge shock death like Sally, because everyone expected her to be saved. That could be cool. Maybe if Penders wasn't a cunt this could be how the Nocturnus are introduced. They find Shard and make him a sleeper agent
Leo Perez
I hope you're joking.
Xavier Cox
Did they announce which game characters would be added to Sonic Boom season 2 yet? I'm guess Chaotix
Ryan Davis
Sega mandated that there can be only one Metal Sonic.
Hunter Brown
nah, people seem to be arguing somewhat constructively but I guess that user is just being butthurt.
yeah, fuck that would be cool.
Asher Jones
Threadly Reminder:
shit posters come from to fuck with us
It's probably Lyric.
Nicholas Sanders
Making characters evil or having them kill other characters doesn't automatically make something interesting. Besides, we already have an evil robot in Metal Sonic. Shard wouldn't be needed for something like that.
Nah. It could be Lyric.
Grayson Gray
True. Maybe kill his body, and transfer his AI to a Mecha. Mecha ain't metal. Fuck me I just want a Mecha Sonic arc where he goes full ham
Benjamin Rivera
>It's probably Lyric. Let's hope not.
Samuel Miller
Yes. It's Tiara.
William Gonzalez
isnt captain metal still around somewhere?
Lucas Powell
he went boom
Landon Jenkins
But he's never addressed as a Metal Sonic.
Joseph Torres
>Making characters evil or having them kill other characters doesn't automatically make something interesting. Besides, we already have an evil robot in Metal Sonic. Shard wouldn't be needed for something like that. I was about to say we didn't have one with a tragic turn, but Gemerl exists, so you got me there
But the pre-reboot was getting pretty bloated, and while Endangered Species was shit, I'd argue that getting rid of most of the echidnas was a good move. And, as someone who loves Antoine as a character, him dying does do him more favors. And Sally's character was in fucking shambles at that point. No matter how hard the book tried to make people like her, it wasn't working. At the bottom of hte ocean in the Sol Dimension. Snively's still in the capsule
Brandon Lewis
I hope it's the game canon Blaze who ends up in the Boom world somehow (because we got an alternate Knuckles episode), but it's likely a character from the Boom games.
If it's not Lyric, then it's whoever was the robot in FIre & Ice.
Isaiah Martinez
I liked her.
Josiah Collins
It's way too early for this bait.
Tyler Thompson
>I hope it's the game canon Blaze who ends up in the Boom world somehow I always somehow hope for this.
Christian Nelson
I like Sally too, but she was just a fucking mess by the end of the pre-reboot. Penders/Bollers went out of their way to butcher her character and make her horribly unlikable, and Ian, bless the man for trying, went overboard in trying to fix her
Isaac Clark
Eh, I'm not sure if killing off Antoine would've done him favors, though I do agree that Sally was in shambles before the reboot came.
Honestly, regardless of people's opinions on the execution, the reboot was sorely needed by the time it happened.
Gabriel Rodriguez
xth for Tikal
Josiah Davis
>bait
no, actually, we're just having a civilised argument.
Cooper Watson
So are these threads ever going to get better at some point?
Kayden Smith
See, my thinking is that Antoine's character arc had long since come to a close. He became a brave and respected hero, married the woman of his dreams, and got the respect from his father he so desired. And he went out appropriately for his character, so I can't be too mad about it.
But yes the reboot was desperately needed. I would've liked to have it after King Naugus ended, or better yet, once the pre-reboot did end (Because there was a planned ending for it, and I think ending that with a reboot that's established to be an alternate universe would've been fine)
Cameron Fisher
I'm sad that Antoine's dad getting fatally poisoned by the Anti-Antoine (Patch?) didn't lead to an angry duel between them.
Leo Adams
Likely not until next month.
Gavin Sanchez
>because we got an alternate Knuckles episode Huh
Austin Thomas
>Keep your hair the same way for over 8 years
What a little loser
Alexander Reyes
Eh, this one is fine for now.
Fair point, but I can't see many people being happy about him being killed off.
Cooper Sanchez
sally has shitty hair I have to admit. like, think of her style on a human. Yuck.
Owen Nguyen
Same here. Would've liked to have that before he went out with a bang. No SS, no FFs, just Patch and Antoine, to the death >Fair point, but I can't see many people being happy about him being killed off. I was one of those people funnily enough. I was pissed he almost died and when LHT chapter 1 hit, the idea Ian was gonna kill Antoine pissed me off immensely, but then I sat down, did some thinking, and did some reading, and it made sense for his character
Easton Mitchell
...
Michael Perez
Antoine is fun to have around, he's the only normie to get shit done.
And Bunnie was going to join the egg legion, so there could've been the drama of him fighting his own wife at some point in the future.
Jacob Sanchez
Works well enough for me.
Landon Barnes
It could be worse, but we have to endure the 90s throwback hair. I saw Ben Bates draw concept art of Nu!Sally with spikier hair like mecha-Sally, but that didn't go anywhere. Archie decided to puss out, and give her a little trim instead. Besides, autists already complained over her "shaved" cheek tufts, I'd hate to see the uproar over a different style.
Joshua Collins
I thought it was oddly poetic that, after all the time fuckery and alternate universe bullshit that was prominent throughout the pre-boot , Eggman flips out and breaks it all apart.
I think it's for the best Antoine's around, I need to see that comic where he goes with Sonic to his homelandbut it doesnt look good Brings up a good point, Antoine is horribly outclassed, but fights anyways, and Bunnie not getting to go with her uncle to join the Egg Legion and regain her cybernetics is something I would've liked to see.
Sadly, the alternate was not the Game Knuckles. It was just a smart Boom Knuckles.
Sebastian Turner
>And Bunnie was going to join the egg legion No, she was going to get cyborg parts. Her entire motivation was that she felt she couldn't protect her loved ones without her cybernetics. Joining the Egg Legion would highly work against being able to protect her loved ones.
Michael Watson
Yeah, she'll get her cybernetics, but it wouldn't stop at that, since they're all rigged with bombs.
Logan Roberts
...
Grayson Brooks
I'm sure, since the people who would rig them up were working for her uncle, they'd do something about that.
Jayden Ward
I'm sure they already tried.
William Parker
That's what she intended, but the entire point of her doing that was showing that her impulsiveness and rash decision making fucked her over big time, especially since she could've gotten pseudo-replacements >Brings up a good point, Antoine is horribly outclassed, but fights anyways, and Bunnie not getting to go with her uncle to join the Egg Legion and regain her cybernetics is something I would've liked to see. Fair enough. That would've been cool as shit
I would've loved it if he awoke from his coma and got a slight redesign, including an eyepatch, which freaks him the fuck out because it reminds him of when he was stranded on Moebius for a year. I'm sad that never got explored because that would've been a great story idea
Easton Sanchez
but nicole is an interesting, developed character and shard was just...obnoxious.
Matthew Sanders
It occurs to me that Bunnie would've basically gone through the same character development that she did in SSS#11, except actually developed instead of being condensed into like two panels.
Easton Sanders
Then they would warn her. Or, maybe, they'd hope that Eggman wouldn't realize Bunnie's new parts were Legion in origin.
Jose Thomas
So does silver suck now since edmund doesnt exist? he was the only person silver actually had any real connection to.
Carter Long
Shard was pretty cool for me. In fact, he's one of my favorites. Robot Sonics rule.
Nicholas Ortiz
Shard is the character Sonic should be. A bit egotistical, sarcastic, and a goof, while still having a heart of gold and tremendous courage.
Ethan White
He had more personality than the other Metal Sonics so that's a plus.
Lucas Thompson
That is literally Sonic's character.
Jacob Fisher
And she would go through with it anyways, 'cause she would've been at her lowest point.
He still has the Professor and Gold But now there is a hiatus

I'm glad we got SU#50 before the re-boot. We got a taste of what could've been
