Justin Green
post awful fan-made sonic character redesigns / reboot premises
Nathan Gutierrez
what was the context of these? Were those glitches they fixed and were showing to justify the delay? Or were they showing the game off and kept encountering glitches during the presentation?
Michael Morales
Apparently Stealth said it was his fault for the Eggman glitch occuring.
Hunter Lee
they were intentionally showing game glitch footage for laughs. they're part of a slideshow, it seems
Xavier Jenkins
These are disgusting.
Thomas Bennett
I'm just going to repost these since I didn't even notice the last thread was dying, sorry if this bugs anyone. For those curious these were glitches they found during development of the game. During the Mania panel at SDCC they were showing them off since they were entertaining. They've fixed them now of course.
Ryder Clark
I think it's pretty much the first one. They were most likely fixed thanks to the delay. Imagine if the game was released with those fuck-ups.

Hi everyone, make sure to get your vote in when we do these polls, it's awkward making final decisions when we only have a tally of 10 votes.
The current poll is "How should levels be entered (If this became a full thing)?", since this is a hub we need to be aware of how something like this will fit into the design and theme (museum).
Currently the options are: >Big Ring - A preview of the level is inside the ring >Painting - Like Mario 64 >Display Case - Miniatures of the level will be inside the case, upon selection Sonic will either flashback to the level, fall through a trap door or launched via spring >Other - Submit your own!
I saw someone was interested in a door idea so I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.
My nightmare last night was that Penders was the guest of honor for a Sonic convention.
Tyler Russell
Makes enough sense to me. I don't have the code in front of me, but I think I get why this happened and it's hilarious.
Michael Sullivan
And their favorite glitch that happened.
John Morales

Chase Adams
everyone but the girl looks somewhat ok, but why is amy a fat fuck and sally a cripple
Andrew Anderson
I genuinely cannot express in words how much I hate this.
Jaxon Foster
If I remember correctly, the Eggman one was caused by Stealth making a branch of the project and not copying a sprite file, so it wasn't really a bug and shouldn't have anything to do with the delay.
Elijah Miller
it gets worse. like, i'm pretty much sjw trash but their writeups for these designs are really really fucking obnoxious.
Jordan Rivera
i regret saying that, now even the males look like shit
William Bennett
Sonic: Okay, not changed too much. Tails: Cool, got some goggles Knuckles: o-okay, leather jacket is a bit wei- Amy: WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? Sally: It's gonna be hard to run missing a foot. But seriously, what the fuck is the point of that?
Matthew Young
So what 10 fighters would Sonic and friends pick if they had to compete in the Tournament of Power? >Sonic This one is obvious. >Knuckles He's tougher than the rest of them. >Shadow The ultimate power. >Metal Sonic >Gemerl >Omega There's already literal robots competing, so why not. Also two of them can copy the opposition. >Rouge The rest of Team Dark is already there, so why not have the trained spy? Also, she can naturally fly, which is a huge advantage. >Silver You fuckers wanted Future Trunks, here you fucking go. >Chaos Why not? Kinda hard to grab a puddle. >Espio As a Chameleon, he can hide pretty well. He's also a ninja, which is useful. Keep in mind weapons are banned, so no shuriken, sadly.
Some characters that won't make it in and why. >Tails He can fly and Spin Dash, but Battle has him feature weapons that he won't be allowed to use, which limits his usefulness. He's smart, but so are Rouge and Espio and the robots. >Amy Weapons are banned, so no Piko-Piko hammer. >Big Tard strength aside, the team already has other heavy hitters. >Cream Not really an eager fighter if Battle is anything to go by. >Blaze She's from another dimension and not a native to Sonic's universe. If anything, she and Marine might be competing against Sonic and friends. Or maybe their universe is just conveniently except. >Charmy Ha. >Vector He's strong, a good detective, and breaths fire, but others have that covered. >Sticks No boomerang. Or anything else. >Your OC from Forces No Wispons allowed. >Infinite Probably dies in Forces. >Tikal Already dead.
Lucas Ortiz
OH FUCK WHAT THE HELL DID THEY DO TO BARK?!
Jordan Bailey
Not all of us are watching DBS right now, user. You've gotta give context for what the ToP entails.
Julian Butler
>Chaos 0>Big the Cat/Vector
Joseph Reyes
>Amy and Shadow are no longer hedgehogs, decided to make Sonic the only hedgehog. To be honest I didn’t settle on what species Amy is supposed to be, though she has some bunny-esque features, but Shadow was based off of tasmanian devils.
>Amy is now a witch, and her Piko-Piko Hammer acts like a magical girl wand and broom. She’s a spring witch, casting those yellow and red springs you see in Sonic levels from her hammer, which are also two springs!
>The second Blaze is just her without her sleeves and with her hair untied, to show what her paws and hair look like.
>Jet is based off of a peregrine falcon
>Bark the Polar Bear is now a girl.
There's a shitload more text and it's almost all fucking awful. pastebin.com/UC0jC1xW
Jayden Wright
Off the top of my head, eight universes with ten fighters each, for a total of 80 fighters. The losing universes will be erased. It's a battle royal free-for all which lasts 48 minutes. Killing is not allowed. Ki can't be used to fly, so Goku and Vegeta can't fly around but if you have wings you're good. You eliminate your opponents by knocking them off the arena, which is shaped like a giant spinning top. Weapons are not allowed. There are however, robots competing in the actual tournament.
Caleb Campbell
But this is not Shadow This is Mephiles
Luis Howard
user, clearly that is Shadow the Tasmanian Devil. he's not an alien or a genetic experiment anymore, he's just a soldier. how could you possibly be confused?
Josiah Green
Whose signature is that below Iizuka's?
Zachary Watson
Fuck, now the franchise looks like Overwatch.
Mason Jackson
Some more thought on who can't be in. >Mephiles fucking dead >Chip/Dark Gaia Too big. >The Babylon Rouges No Extreme Gear, probably. >Fang/Nack/whatever No weapons. >Eggman Mechs would probably count as weapons. He's already contributing with Metal, Gemerl, and Omega. He's arguably contributed to the whole damn roster, since he's arguably the reason any of them know each other. >The Deadly Six Nah. Having Metal Sonic is enough to put Sonic and pals on edge, and they aren't that desperate for members. >Wisps Shut the fuck up Iizuka.
at least overwatch characters all look cool, user. i mean, yeah, overwatch is a whole lot of #diversity going on, but never to the sheer degree of tokenism this hack wants.
can we talk about how stupid it is to think knuckles is supposed to be black because his shoes happen to be red, green, and yellow? i don't have any problem with people drawing dark skinned knuckles in fact it's my preference but the way she describes it is just. so stupid.
Joshua Sanchez
I wonder why Sonic Team decided to make Knuckles' muzzle dark brown just for Adventure 2.
Joseph Price
I'm going to buy this when it comes out and we're going to play! Hopefully one of our talented VA anons will still be around and someone will offer to narrate
Anthony Jenkins
I'm all for (actual) diversity, but the Overwatch cast is a clusterfuck of soulless clichés which are ironically more offensive by their shallowness than anything else. Also I hate encasing people in identity boxes. But yeah, the designs look cool. Too bad they're ruined by the awful fluff.
Well this is the 90s, Knuckles have dreads, lives on an island, knows so deep lore and have a percussion-based theme in Sonic 3. He's totally a Rastafarian.
Ryan Adams
I guess I have shit taste because this is pretty cute. Magician Amy a cute
Michael Cox
I actually like these ones
Matthew Martinez
...
Grayson Baker
I thought they were green socks, not ankle bracelets (whatever that is in english)
Luis Cox
Wasn't that trash praised on /sthg/ because it's done by some celeb or something?
Grotesque Victorian, so cool, so deep. Do not criticize pls
Colton Gomez
the proper term is foot necklace
Jacob Adams
there were actual people that unironically like these designs. Im not joking
Jaxson Lopez
>Wasn't that trash praised on /sthg/ I distinctly remember it was posted sometime last year and most people here hated it. We were constantly arguing about them for what seemed like weeks. It got to the point where one person kept posting the designs and others would immediately start spamming the bait pictures
Xavier Ortiz
>fedora on shadow why do people try to make shadow so edgy???
Austin Sanders
we can't forget this, now.
Oh my god, was it really? That's extremely sad.
fucking kill me
Angel Thompson
I can get Sonic through Knuckles, but everything after that is a resounding why. Sally's redesign is also pointless when Bunnie exists.
Eli Hughes
I had almost completely repressed my memory of this terrible video, thanks.
Jackson Thomas
sonic needs to be more vulnerable user
true design innovation is a backpack
Jaxson Johnson
Pretty sure those were done by Skelly, and only as a simple "what if Sonic was in the style of something else" instead of actual serious "I'd like to see this in the games" redesigns. For shits and giggles, in other words, and not something serious like or So while I'm not particularly interested, I also see no reason to shit on it either.
Brayden Fisher
Is there a complete collection of the Archie comics or at least the first 100 issues?
I thought I saw one in a Books A Million years ago
Blake King

Mason Clark
Great, now he looks like generic Indie character #2403
Sebastian Jenkins
>boomcucks will defend this
Levi Martin
I like that design, Sonic the Fighters me irl
Christopher Turner
Can western artists draw something without shoving some kind of pc horseshit in there?
Benjamin Perez
There's a Mega link with most of them in the OP, but I don't know about printed.
Daniel James

Lucas Phillips
Fuck, the Boom designs are so horrible. They had no idea why Sonic's design was so eye catching and iconic.
Leo Diaz
That's why I love artists like Yoto, Sketch, and Toby, who all try to draw the characters on model while still leaving a bit of their own personal touch.
>I've been working on Sonic for a really long time, and I've been getting a lot fan-mail for a really long time - for like 20 years - and a lot of the fan-mail, even 20 years ago, people were saying, "Hey check out this drawing of Sonic I did," and "Hey, check out this character I made that's in the same style or look of Sonic the Hedgehog." I've been constantly receiving these fan drawings or custom-created ideas, so even from 20 years ago, I had this understanding that fans enjoyed creating and existing in this world. I wanted to let people to do that to some extent, but I think the spark started a long time ago when I saw all of these people creating Sonic-type stuff. I understood that Americans like creating their own stuff, so this whole understanding how American fans are interacting with the character was the seed that was planted a long time ago. It just so happens that now we have the skills, the technology, and the team is making a representative world of Sonic the Hedgehog with characters that fit into our world. Players can now go in and make what they want with the format of the series. Fans have been making stuff - we're very aware of that - and we hope they like the content that has been created. But really, the genesis was a really long time ago, seeing all of the created pictures coming into me.
What OCs do you think Iizuka was shown?
Jaxon Stewart
Is it part of board culture now?

i like DLLL but i'm only okay with these designs in a vacuum
Julian Rivera
Why exactly do we hate Marble Garden? Even when I was younger, I hated the fuck out of that stage and I don't even know why
Hudson Campbell
....Is this your first time finding a photoshop template post user?
I like Knuckles and Tails but the Amy and Sonic ones needs touch ups.

I wanna fuck Aaron Webber in the Ass! I'm a dude btw!
Luis Richardson
Put these on Penders' twitter.
Juan Gray
It's slow and boring. None of the gimmicks like the "mud" or that stupid top thing are fun. It has infinite scroll sections which are always kind of tedious to deal with. The music is only just all right. It's a huge step down from the previous levels' music. The only thing cool about Marble Garden is the boss fight.
Austin King
>guy gamers Disgusting.
Aiden Reed
I want to stumble into So A HQ and see Aaron and Jasmine Fucking then Cuck Aaron so hard when Jasmine falls in love with black cock much more bigger then Aaron's then let Jasmine wear a strap on and proceeding to fuckk in him deep in the anus all the while he is crying why Arin Hanson can't be the one to take his anus virginity
