Welcome to the Sonic General. Here we talk about all things Sonic! Share art and music, talk about new developments, discuss ROM hacks, speedrunning, and more.
More Fleetway. We're now on the so called "Death Egg" saga run. Effectively Robotnik's constant attempts to relaunch the Death Egg serve as the kind of series McGuffin for the S&K Fleetway story arc.
You may recall that after its discovery by Knuckles' embedded skull chip, Sonic and Co. abandoned their underground lair and disgused themselves as carnies.
Isaac Nguyen
I just had my mind blown. I've never before seen the 99 lives glitch with Rouge in Security Hall.
Jace Price
Bob Beaky is Fleetway Sonic's alter-ego / disguise. Or is it like Superman and sonic is the disguise? Normally in soviet attire, Beaky features a top hat and innuendo here.
Leo Powell
At least they're lamp-shading how Robotnik is transporting materiel up to the floating island here, but really this raises more questions than it answers. Why doe the thruster need to be driven across a bridge instead of flown. Why a helicopter? Why not uses cranes? Why do I care about the efficiency of fictional booster rocket transportation? I hate growing up.
Why Fleetway Tails is allowed to man the computer is anyone's guess.
Joseph Barnes
So here we still have a rather Egg Shaped Death Egg.
There's a rather interesting choice of broken/floating sections of the island in the first panel. This will become relevant in the next issue at the conclusion of the Knuckles Carnival Night Conspiracy storyline. But for now, well never mind...
Chase Wood
Anyone else think the Eggman's Brother episode of Sonic Boom had weird animation or something?
Carter Rivera
I wonder what the specific impulse of the thruster is? What kind of Delta-v would it take to get something like the Death Egg into orbit? Hard Mode: No orbital assembly
I don't know how I feel about Sonic planting explosive mines. This doesn't seem like something the UN would condone.
Josiah Adams
This more advanced Badnik guard is a kind of proto-type for the Brutus character who comes up inthe Cybernik stories. I think. Mostly he reminds me of a cross between Megatron and an Orc Warboss.
Jack Bell
I swear half the designs on this page are from a Transformers episode.
Asher Green
What am I in for?
Christian Cruz
Just a heads up that the /sthg/ Level Development Kit was updated last thread
An online fan version of the old Fleetway comic endorsed by the original staff (who have also worked on the online version) that apparently hasn't been updated in over a year.
I haven't read any of it so I've no idea of the quality. Have fun.
Evan Taylor
>Sonic >blue bomber wut
Cooper Richardson
Rail Canyon is a cool level!
Chase Moore
We need another game with Heroes' and Colors' aesthetics. A mainline game with Riders' aesthetics would blow my dicc right the fuck off and into the sun
Evan Hughes
Worst level in the game.
Bullet Station is far better.
Noah Ward
Hang Castle is cool too!
Nathan Moore
Reminder that there's a Sonic block later today on SGDQ

I assume you're going to be talking, user?

Of course

Colton Allen
>Also he's not a great character designer. Not a terrible one, but he really should leave to people who are actual ARTISTS
What character designs do you take issue with?
Luis Turner
I used to think Power Plant was the worst level in the game but I changed my mind after learning about all the cool shortcuts and high paths there are.
Oliver Carter
Uh anons, I got my pants but there's something else in here that I didn't order and I'm wondering if they're giving a nod to Sonic's crossover.
Owen Sanders
>Bullet Station is far better. And has the best theme.
Noah Carter
Obviously, it would make more sense to have the picture..
I haven't been following your posts, but I'm assuming those are the pants but what's the Hello Kitty thing?
And I bet you did order them
Nathan Gutierrez
A-user please, they were already unavailable before I bought the Sonic ones.
They're also pants apparently.
Christian Roberts
Well now you have to wear them, user. Show Sonic how much you appreciate his crossovers they probably just wanted to get rid of them
Gavin Fisher
Are you all wearing your Sonic The Hedgehog™ merchandise as you prepare for the Summer™ Games™ Done™ Quick™ Sonic the Hedgehog™ Block tonight?
Lincoln Morris
How does one take a picture with a chaos emerald?
Joshua Young
I will user! I would have though Hello Kitty would be popular more but maybe not for Insert Coin.
I can now, user.
Bentley Peterson
I just discovered sonic dreams collection and I'm highly confused. Is there a deeper meaning to whatever the fuck is that? Or is it just a meme?
David Rogers
I screamed on the toilet a hella long time.
Aaron Kelly

Owen Ross
Yeah, I hear that shit sucks. Hope you didn't have to get stitches. I've had time stones before, myself.
Soda: Not even once.
Juan Taylor
It gets grimdark. Like, we're talking realistic violence and blood.
Asher Flores
It's not as bad as you're making it sound.
Camden Brooks
No stitches, I try not to watch comedies while pushing one out, it's too distracting. So for me would the equivalent of this be slamming the busty™ bat for a week?
Isaac Lee
No contest.
Nathan Wright
Both of them suck. So does Frog Forest.
Austin Hill
>So does Frog Forest Too far buddy.
Luke Martinez
>So does Frog Forest.
How about you shut the fuck up?
Eli Diaz
Every Heroes level sucks, the only question is which ones sucks less than the rest. It's usually the ones with interesting spectacle like the intros to Egg Fleet and the atmosphere of Final Fortress, but it's not actually the level design that are interesting in those levels.
Thomas Cruz
The sections where the shapeshifter took on the looks of others was cheap. You could easily pinpoint the moment the model was replaced with theirs, the special effects doing diddly squat to actually cover it.
Ayden Torres
But Egg Fleet does have good level design?
Hunter Green
How later we talking here?
Oliver Martinez
>getting to that part with everyone on a different rail good shit
Joseph Reed
No it doesn't, it has level design that's slightly less shitty than the rest. Heroes is simply too fundamentally flawed to call any of the gameplay good.
Jose Richardson
More than half of Heroes's levels have good level design. Rail Canyon, Bullet Station, Frog Forest, Lost Jungle and Final Fortress fucking suck, but the rest are fine.
Yes even Bingo Highway. Only babbies who can't git gud hate that level.
Justin Baker
How can someone not like Final Fortress? The advanced shortcuts you can take with Team Dark in it are great.
Evan Hill
About 3 hours I think

No
Caleb Fisher
God exists in Sonic's World?
James Mitchell
jesus the hedgehog confirm?
Blake Morris
We have Solaris at the very least, or we used to, that is.
Christian Fisher
Do you think Sonic believes in God?
Carter Stewart
I think Jesus would be a Lamb or something.
Asher Diaz
>not getting the joke
Jackson Young

You know, I sometimes wonder why you guys cry autism when shit like this is obviously made by children. Kids are going to be cringey.

Jack Lewis
>implying we get happiness even in death
Jeremiah Howard
Oh, you don't get happiness. Everyone else does.
Caleb Foster
Still Have dark Gaia, and Chip, pretty sure those two are gods.
Adrian Davis
Very true.
Mason Jenkins
Also Chaos. Hell, even Forces is bringing him back, so he's more relevant than he's been in years.
Asher Rivera
YOU KNOW NOTHING, FOOL! IT'S CHAOS! THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION!
Dominic Nelson
>Yes even Bingo Highway. Only babbies who can't git gud hate that level.
There's no "gitting gud" when the controls are absolute garbage on those bingo tables. This isn't even up for debate. It's a fact that the controls in those sections are incredibly overly sensitive and almost always lead to death at the slightest twitch.
Even after you learn how to properly wrangle the controls and coerce Sonic and friends to stay on the table, there's no guarantee that you won't suddenly be launched to your doom for no good reason. The same applies to a lot of sections in Heroes.
tl;dr Maybe Sonic Team should have gotten gud at programming pinball physics instead.
For the record, I don't even hate that level. But anyone who doesn't have their head jammed up their ass can tell you that it's hilariously broken.
Mason Perez
It's like cringing over OCs, even though the majority of those who make them are like 10 years old.
Dylan Reyes
this duo is just so cute, And since Chip has a cute form why not dark gaia as well.
Nicholas Foster
They're still crap though, and deserve to be mocked, if only to dissuade people from doing that
Jayden Hall
Shadow may not believe in god. But he is the only one of the main cast who will go to heaven.
Ayden Hill
Because he fucks Bridget?
Landon Rivera
Because he is moral. And not a narcissist who does things in vain.
