I wonder what karma will have in store for them for being so fucking annoying.

I really wish Mania came with a physical copy.
This means I have to archive it on multiple HDs in case one of them takes a shit.
I still play every other Sonic game I own. I don't see why in ten years I won't want to pop in Mania.

This

Here

You're not going to make the Sonic Thread Simulator with lazy shit like that.

Shadow's a role model.

...

HOT DAMN

OH NO

So long user! See ya in a few days!

>metal is faster than sonic
>shadow is faster than sonic
>scourge is faster than sonic
>swifty is faster than sonic

embarrasing

Taking the piss out of memes and the horrible fanbase is pretty funny. But they need to be careful making fun of Chris-chan. He's going to choke out a prostitute or something and some prick lawyer will point the finger at Sega for instigating him.

Retailers believe their will be physical copies

See

Wasn't there an unclit reference??

>You're not going to make the Sonic Thread Simulator with lazy shit like that.
i need to cum right now (energetically)

Chris is too blissfully ignorant to realize that the show is making fun of him.

like pottery

they already did and his autism prevented him from seeing any similarities

>lacks the stamina to keep up that speed for more than a quick burst
>wrong
>wrong
>who?

scourge is a Mary Sue

Well in that case.
OH SHIT

Later loser.
/trash/ exists for a reason

All the comic characters are Mary Sues

your sacrifice was not in vain

But he's literally coldsteel.

face looks more like the stripper mouse from that disney holmes movie

Can't tell if that is Classic Sonic or just a plushie.

Yeah, I know. Like I said, all the comic characters are mary sues and they're better off dead

I'm kinda low on cute Amys to post that hasn't been posted already, so I'll have to take a break after this.

Classic Sonic. He's about to get laid.

I don't think you know what a mary sue is.

I can't find any explanation desu, all I know that its the Japanese name/box art of Sonic Blast.

Whether he realizes it or not isn't the issue. The issue is that they're making fun of a literal basket case who is potentially dangerous.
>chris ends up seriously hurting someone
>baww Sonic made me do it
>lawyer brings up examples of Boom writers instigating him to show it's not Chris' fault
>worst case scenario: Sonic is kill

He's a perfect character who can do no wrong and the story bends to his will, just like the rest of the comic characters

Headcanon: Rouge is secretly insecure, but very sweet and kind hearted.
The cold, sultry spy thing is all an act for the job.

that shit is crazier than chris

literally 0% chance. he has a prior history of doing this shit you know

Does anyone have that image of Big saying "Something's biting?" Because you're being baited, user.

He follows all the tropes down to a T.

You should watch the Flash TV show.
>My Name is Barry Allen and I am the Fastest Man Alive
>Except for Reverse-Flash
>And Zoom
>And Savitar

That's just how speedsters roll. They have to have dark evil counterparts that rival/match/surpass their speed.

I mean, out of all the valid complaints, I think only Lara-Su under Penders is an actual Mary-Sue.
I think there was an echidna called Mary-Su but I could be wrong.

Mary Sues are characters which everyone likes and does the job better and everyone looks up to them and WOW AREN'T THEY SO COOL.
Which y'know, the FF's need saving by Sonic more often than not, so y'know.

Now, if you were to say awful characters, that's at least something we can debate nigger.
I don't mind you hating the comic, just y'know, don't use bullshit arguments.
Most definitely bait but I'm tired.

Goodbye forever, user the shitposter.

Not Mary-Su. It was Mari-Su The Echidna.

So /sthg/, are you gonna be alone this Friday evening?

>villain
>mary sue

one of the tropes is that everyone instantly likes the character

>Too easy! Piece of cake!

"Oh, what was?"

twitter.com/Nakamura_ShunR/status/870595354353221633

That's dumb. You're dumb.

ok. but I disagree with you because you are black

Is that Eggman giving the response?

>Rouge
>Being anything than a heartless whore
Shit/10. She's a spy, you have to be a terrible person to be one of those

No, Nakamura is teasing.

My first experience with Sega was the trackball Sonic arcade game (SegaSonic the Hedgehog), followed by Sonic the Fighters. When I joined the company, I was scolded for calling the rings "coins."

twitter.com/Nakamura_ShunR/status/870610491244126208

Why the fuck do you stupid niggers feel the need to compare which Sonic is "better" ? Cant you all see that it's pointless to constantly bring up the same shit arguments that wont change anyone's mind? Are you truly content with repeating the same, futile cycles day in and day out forever? What a waste of time.

Besides, everyone knows that the best Sonic is a dead one.

I know, right? Who doesn't love Archie Sonic?

Agreed. When is Sonic gonna die already, so we can go back to the glory days of /egg/?

christ

Fuck you for killing my sides like that

>He's a perfect character who can do no wrong and the story bends to his will
Not really.

>Got trashed on all the time and wasnt considered much of a threat before his change
>Tried to take on the FF and Shadow and had to fuck off
>Needed the help of his old crew to take over his world
>Needed Sonic's help in taking down Metal Sonic and Metal Him
>Tried to go after Sonic in his sleep and got Talk-no-Jutsu'd so hard by Jules that he ran off crying
>Is afraid of his version of Amy
>Got betrayed by his old team
>Gained the upper hand when he turned super, only to lose because of his own arrogance and stupidity
>Got locked in interdimensional misprision and became everyone's bitch boy
>Needed his other old group and GF to break him out, all while having to gain their respect first

If he was a Mary Sue, then none of his actions would have been presented in a negative light, and he would have never lost any fight ever. He would have been completely perfect and everyone would have liked him, which was never, ever the case. There is no character who fits the definition of a mary sue that I can think of.

I dont even care anymore.

How dare you.

if anything this is Eggman

And that applies to Scourge, how?

This. And that's coming from someone who loves Comic-Eggman, both continuities.

I don't know, I was more or less just clarifying what type of sue you were supposed to be arguing about.

Your very article contradicts you.

>Villains are generally given great powers and abilities to be a more credible threat to the protagonists and make their inevitable downfall more sweet. A true Villain Sue will probably never have one, however, and even if he does it may be via Only the Author Can Save Them Now rather than any non-Ass Pull method.
Scourge gets his ass handed to him numerous times, and any powerups he gets, including the Anarchy Beryl and his own super state, are only for the purpose of making him a more credible villain for Sonic to take down.

Same with Eggman. Even in the comics he's taken down tons of times and him being more and more evil and powerful is just escalation so Sonic can keep beating him up without straining credibility.

I'm not the guy you were arguing with, I was trying to get the argument away from what a mary sue is, since there's a lot of different kinds of characters that bad writing can create.

Oh, i see. My apologies.

That was my fault, I didn't clarify who I was when I quoted you all.

/sthg/, What is the worst Sonic moment or experience?

Any specific moment involving the Sonic franchise. (Comics, Games, ECT)

Or the Sonic fandom. (Fanart, Fanfiction, Online drama, Embarrassing IRL moments )

Please be specific I'm settled in for some interesting stories.

A Mary Sue is seemingly perfect, everyone wants to be their friend and/or fears them depending on whether they're good or bad, their flaws if they have any are irrelevant to the story and only exist for flavor, and they take any kind of tension away because it's obvious they'll win regardless.

The only thing remotely close to a Mary Sue in any aspect of the franchise is Sonic himself and he doesn't count because he's the player character, and that's not including stories where he actually does need to rely on his friends to help him somehow.

I wasn't originally involved in this argument, but I'll post a real villain sue so people have an idea of what one looks like

This is Harvest. I'd classify him as a villain sue because
>He can beat all the heroes with 0 effort
>He somehow has a countermeasure against everything they can do with 0 explanation and his entire schtick is "I PLANNED FOR THIS ALL ALONG"
>His motivations are absolutely nonsensical
>He never really loses, he just gets away and any damage done to him is inconsequential. He runs because he feels like it.

>eggman
>forever alone
>literally never accomplishes anything
>sue

he's played as a sympathetic failure most of the time

And to add to that, let's get this out of the way right now: This man loves aesthetics over actual practicality. I think the slot machine boss fight with Shadow particularly emphasized this.

Although he did have ONE win, once. His plan went perfectly in Sonic Riders... even if it turned out that what he was searching for was nearly worthless.

Good taste all around, mate

Does anybody think the 2018 movie is still happening?

anything that doesn't have a trailer is potentially in development hell

It'll happen. There isn't enough shit in the universe for how much it will suck though.

That's not a win if sonic comes in and reverses it.

It won't last, but for a period of time, he still won.

Honestly, the worst thing I can think of is my time on Deviantart as a kid, mainly because of how it effected me and my stance on shipping as a whole.
Back when I was into shipping, I primarily shipped Sonally, which, of course, was gonna get you shit from Sonamy people. So I decided to lurk around for months or years, seeing all the flame wars and arguments about who is more suited for Sonic and why. Arguments ranged from personality to appearances to the color of character's fur to age, and so much more. I had a hate boner for Amy and all things Sonamy, witnessing all those dumb "girl next door" music videos that people used to make that always portrayed Sally as the bitch and whatnot, while laughing at videos and art that portrayed Amy as an annoying, raging crybaby, since that's all I saw her as.

Then one day, maybe a few years later or whatever, I came to a realization. I realized that both sides of this war were kind of doing the exact same thing. Both had all sorts of propaganda stickers and hate groups. And the worst part of it was that Sally and Amy actually got along in the comics. In fact, her comic incarnation made me like Amy as a whole far more than her Game version or Sonic X version. And then I realized that I liked both Amy and Sally as characters, and that all this mudslinging and trying to bring others down over who should be with who was pointless. Both ships had good chemistry to me, even though I still prefer Sonally or Sonaze to Sonamy.
The attitudes of these people I had witnessed all this time turned me away from shipping for the most part, and I decided not to participate or care about who ended up with who, as long as it made sense and worked.

So yeah, the Sonic fandom is the sole reason I stopped shipping or interacting with shipping, and I haven't turned back since. Not that other fandoms are any better with it.

is the tikal porn artist still here

How is everyone today?
