Oh shit, didn't notice we were so close to the bump limit. Well here's the full repost. No Bomb because it's not a Badnik
If I were to work on another game which should it be?
Tyler Foster
BOMB
Dylan Jenkins
Woke up in a weird mode, and I wanted to mildly redesign Sonic characters. Nothing major, but just my own spin on things. I had to start with my nigga, Silver. What do you guys think? should I do more, or is it a waste of time?
Anthony Brooks
what do you guys think of my new oc?
Josiah King
I'd really love to see you do 2 and 3&K eventually
I didn't want to totally overhaul specific character aspects, would it be better if he say, only had 3 points instead of five?
Leo Flores
Not bad. I like the gloves on Silver.
Dominic James
fake and gay
Oliver Carter
Everyone called you out on the /v/ thread. What gives you the idea that /sthg/ of all places would fall for this?
Christopher Davis
It's hard to say, I never liked the spikes. It felt way too tryhard compared to the hedgehogs that came before him
Wyatt White
I actually love the romhack this comes from.
Camden Russell
I love it when these fake leaks use backgrounds from fangames and rom hacks. Better than just using official level graphics and claiming that they came back for mania.
Ayden Martinez
That's fair, but I don't want to omit them outright, considering that's part of his core design and it's at least different that Sonic and Shadow's Thanks, but I'm still wondering if people here would like to see more
John Peterson
That's because Mania is a fangame.
Gavin Brooks
I love it when fans make better games than Sega
Lincoln Hughes
STARTING LATE, BUT X REPLAY ON NOW!
Hunter Lewis
which one was that? i remember watching it in one of r&z's vids but i forgot the name
Evan Cruz
Shadow as a G.U.N soldier feels really strange. Like, would there still be some animosity in some regiments towards him. Obviously no open hostility, what could they really do to him? But he hurt soldiers in both SA2 and StH, feels like that don't just dissappear.
Caleb Jones
The Next Level by MarkeyJester.
Adrian Evans
Sonic The Next Levels or something. Could be wrong.
Justin Hill
I don't think he hurt any actual people in SA2. It was all robots and mechs. Hurting GUN soldiers in Shadow is entirely optional and only in a few levels, and the canonical path according to Iizuka is pure hero anyway.
That being said, I prefer the idea that Shadow is technically independent but works alongside G.U.N. for mutual benefit. He works with them but not for them.
Zachary Gray
nope youre right just looked it up
Ryder Brown
>canonical path according to Iizuka is pure hero anyway. [citation needed]
Ryan Garcia
Why do people make fakes? Why lie?
Angel Myers
Really? I could swear that part of Sonic's arrest warrant had murder on it. The first boss in Dark story was also piloted, not just a machine. So they just let the pilot go after disabling it? When Eggman was more then willing to kill in this game? Seems strange.
Jose Ramirez
Shadow is faster than Sonic.
Gabriel Ortiz
Are you gonna say this every thread?
Sebastian Brooks
I don't recall Sonic or Shadow having a wanted poster. I only remember Tails', which didn't have any specific crimes.
Adrian Garcia
but he's got a worse game than Tails
Mason Bailey
No, I'll stop once all Sonic cucks have been BTFO and admit that Shadow is better.
Robert Brooks
Gamma is taller than Omega
Ian Walker
Yeah but Shadow will never be hugged by idols
Anthony Torres
But his game's OST isn't as funky as Knuckles' Chaotix.
Lol come back when Shadow is playable outside of a spinoff.
Jacob Ward
No, they were just after Shadow because he stole a Chaos Emerald and destroyed some G.U.N. robots. They arrested Sonic because they thought he was Shadow. They do look very similar.
Probably for being an accomplice to Sonic, who was publicly thought to have stolen a Chaos Emerald, in addition to Sonic and Shadow's destruction of G.U.N.'s robots.
Don't remind me, user. I'm still waiting for some redemption with Aqours in a few months
Not quite related but I'm kind of surprised that Sonic doesn't have a crossover with Show By Rock!! amongst other semi-related crossovers
Jose Rodriguez
Shit, i'm trying to get a PS4 controller to work with Nox for Sonic 1 and 2, but not only is Steam getting in the way, I can't seem to find viable control bindings.
Oliver Anderson
Sonic's speed suit is still one of my favorites. But I also like to think of him wearing his Ice suit in any cold stage.
You think SEGA would have released something like this, at least as a downloadable on the DS digital store or something. I know Sonic isn't as popular in Japan as he is here but something like this would have boosted it at least a bit, right?
Wyatt Green
>"unlike sonic I don't chuckle"
Michael Mitchell
Your favorite Sonic character (Or just any character really) goes into the universe of the last non-Sonic thing you read/watched/played, what happens?
Nolan Sanchez
Sonic characters in Dragon Ball, because it's not like it's been done before.
James Moore
>All in the Family He has a mildly unpleasant evening in mid 70s New York
I'm staying with my grandparents and they don't have cable
Jace Adams
>Sonic in a Nascar game Sonic would lap those slow cars so many times.
Dylan Ramirez
Do Sonic 2 next!
Splats Gal is my new waifu
Nolan Baker
>Shadow in Risk of Rain. He doesn't deserve this, but I think he'd manage to not die horribly and figure out what he's supposed to be doing. At least assuming the atmosphere is breathable, but then again when has that ever stopped a sonic character?
Wyatt Moore
With all the franchises and companies Sonic has worked with directly, what would you like to see crossover with Sonic that hasn't been done before?
e.g: Coca Cola - Fanta/Sprite, no Coca Cola Toei - Yugioh/Digimon Capcom - Monster Hunter/Ace Attorney, no Mega Man
Matthew Kelly
So who do you think will be able to return to the comic with IDW? The freedom fighte-- I mean the "Fr' don Fih' tahs " belong to Archie right? Or SEGA?
Hunter Turner
>Blazblue Knuckles might be a not shit grappler in that.
They belong to Sega who literally don't care about them
The only characters they don't own are Lara Su's family of Knuckles recolors
Luke Cooper
Fucking hell, did X do Amy no justice. And I would ask what was the point of episode 52's ending given how episode 69 referenced it, but I remember S3 wasn't supposed to happen.
Nobody really knows.
Noah Hernandez
Eggman looked like a bald hunchbacked weirdo in Sonic CD
Evan Fisher
>Mighty in Darkest Dungeon
the fuck, not having a job has stressed the guy out enough
Henry Sanchez
He always looked creepier and more intimidating in CD, and I used to think that before I knew you could get permanent good futures and thus had to deal with bad future boss fights, he specifically looked aged or something for the encounters.
Austin Harris
>Risk of Rain My nigga. What class? I just want Sonic/Transformers because there's potential for some amazing character interactions, especially if you include non-game characters Hypothetically, the FFs could return. I doubt they will though
Jose Peterson
This. SEGA may not have any problem with IDW using stuff like the Freedom Fighters - they were even letting Archie pull from AoStH for a bit there - but I wouldn't be surprised if they said no either. SEGA was also the reason we didn't get Cream or Omega for a long fucking time in the comics.
SEGA and Sonic Team are fucking weird when it comes to that shit, only time will tell. Not a very satisfying answer, I know.
>Sonic/Transformers Well considering how crossover-happy IDW has been recently you may get your wish. The IDW Transformers have crossed over with the Avengers, GI Joe, MASK, ROM, that one martian movie from the 90s that was pretty great. It's not impossible at this point.
Michael Price
And losing his sister again? (Who I'm shocked that no one has requested art of her before)
Jason Butler
What's the proper combination /sthg/?
Brody James
Too bad she got wiped out by Penders' lawsuit solely because she was mentioned in his run long before she was even properly introduced.
James Perez
I play a lot of classes. Commando, Mercenary, and Engineer are my current favorites.
unless you meant which class Shadow would be in which case I just figured that he'd be himself with a few guns from ShtH
Blake Rodriguez
No it's plenty clear. IDW will probably bring them back. Looking at their other comics they excel at Nostalgia. The FF may return but I wonder more how they'll look
Lucas Robinson
>Well considering how crossover-happy IDW has been recently you may get your wish. The IDW Transformers have crossed over with the Avengers, GI Joe, MASK, ROM, that one martian movie from the 90s that was pretty great. It's not impossible at this point. That kind of makes me excited, albeit the tendency for these crossovers to actually matter instead of being standalone annoys me, especially since in the case of Revolution I only care about Transformers so I'm gonna be super fucking lost when I read that.
But a Sonic/Transformers crossover with the artists who worked on Windblade would be fun as hell You got good taste. Never could handle Merc well though
Cameron Miller
Speed and platforming aren't as important as story/writing and combat
Jaxson Jenkins
Unleashedfag pls
Hunter Jones
Amy in X, especially in episode 69, was so unbearable. I don't blame Sonic for fleeing, especially with her trying to put a love spell on him. She got what she deserved at the end of that episode when Tails and Cosmo got together instead of Sonic and her. If SEGA wanted to make make likable, they surely didn't do a good job.
Ayden Hernandez
>tfw no bunker buster qt armadilless ever again. >tfw Penders releases foot fetish art of her
Benjamin Wilson
>Sonic 2 has speed why does everyone say this about its level design
That applies up until like Chemical Plant, past that it's mostly strange platforming. Most of Sonic 3/Knuckles' stages were far more rollercoastery in nature.
Brody Moore
Am I the only one who noticed Eggman acts flirty to the female characters
Gabriel Young
>Blaze in Ristar Maybe she'd like planet Scorch?
Connor Green
>Blaze in Doom 2016 either this would end in a surprising amount of melted demon gore, one dead cat, or one hell of a strange doujin
Noah Gomez
Speed should be a tool to facilitate platforming while exploration is the reason for platforming beyond just beating the stage in the first place. Putting things in out of the way and hard to reach places incentiveizes mastering the use of the physics and using speed to reach places you couldn't without it. In a perfect sonic game the three are not balanced against each other, but rather the game is designed so that they work with each other.
Pure hold right to speed is pointless beyond spectacle and platforming is boring if it's just a bunch of waiting in place for the moving floor to get into position.(looking at you spring yard zone).
Zachary Young
Hmmm. Kill la kill clad rouge and blaze when?
Blake Miller
I think a one-off crossover would suit a Sonic/Transformers story pretty well. The IDW Transformers series is far from 'realistic', but it would be weird if the politically charged and at times really dark everyone in this thread do yourselves a favor and read "Last Stand of the Wreckers" IDW robots stopped everything to hang out with a blue spikey hedgehog who bounces on robots powered by cute little forest animals.
I like to think that Eggman would be really appealing to women if it weren't for his body - and the fact that he turns animals into robots, but hey, everyone has a hobby.
Blaze and Omega in Doom when
Colton Richardson
>Clove in Huniepop
oooooof
Jose Scott
>politically charged and at times really dark As if the world's fastest environmentalism metaphor wouldn't be out of place in that.
Aiden Lee
According to the japanese Heroes manual he considers himself a womanizer.
Alexander Rogers
W-wait, so the American version of Heroes just censored that to Feminist then? Also I never noticed him being flirty, considering all the times he tries to kill Amy and be skeptical of Rouge. Or is this talking about Sonic X?
Connor Powell
Shh. Let her Rest In Peace
Asher Carter
>I think a one-off crossover would suit a Sonic/Transformers story pretty well. The IDW Transformers series is far from 'realistic', but it would be weird if the politically charged and at times really dark " IDW robots stopped everything to hang out with a blue spikey hedgehog who bounces on robots powered by cute little forest animals. That is true, which is why I think crossing over with the Lost Light crew, which, while fairly dark, is more about crazy adventures and even crazier people, could be a ton of fun. COme on, tell me you wouldn't pay to see Whirl and Omega shoot the shit? Or have Eggman Master Plan the everloving shit out of Prowl and put the bastard in his place?
I haven't read Last Stand of the Wreckers because I started with MTMTE and RiD but I've heard great things about it. Does it work as standalone? True, but IDW Transformers, especially RiD/TAAO is deeply entrenched in politics. It's Game of Thrones with giant transforming robots at times.
Nathan Cox
>Womanizer in the Japanese version >Feminist in the American version
Ayden Gutierrez
That's gross to me for some reason
Christian Brown
I honestly don't know who's bright idea it was to have Amy be so unbearable in X. Like, I know her character was written like shit after SA1 until Unleashed, but jesus. Not to mention, how confusing her relationship with Sonic was in Season 3.
I kinda want CD. Still working on stage designs but honestly I might be overthinking some of them.
Wyatt Edwards
The only reason a Sonic/Transformers crossover would be weird is because of today's standards. If this were ten or twenty years ago no one would really bat an eye at it honestly.
