/sthg/ - Sonic the Hedgehog General

Not biologically possible.

I want Heavy Magician to vore me

Are Iizuka, Penders, and game journalists the only three things that everyone in the fandom agrees to hate?

The rail sections in Lost World would not be out of place in Planet Wisp

I don't hate Iizuka, I just think he says retarded things a lot.

I hope everyone is having a decent Tuesday night/Wednesday morning!

They're Sonic's Faces of Evil.

more heavy rider for me

You underestimate the power of the Sol emeralds

The Shadow gameplay is making me worried with it's lack of slopes and Lost World elements. It makes me wonder if they'll have no physics yet again like Lost World

My opinion on Forces went from "This game looks like a mess and I have no high hopes for it" to "Oh shit I have to prioritize this over Odyssey now" just because they announced Episode Shadow.

I don't hate Iizuka. I don't care for him. It's amusing how the autismos here have turned him into a cartoon villain figure.

...

Annnnd suddenly my PC saves for Mania are gone. Great.
Anyone got a save editor?

have you all thanked your lord and savior Iizuka for Sonic Manis?

I bet you haven't you ungrateful cunts

there can only be one

>being surprised that Sonic Team doesn't know what physics are

I wish to draw Blaze kissing someone/someone kissing Blaze.

Who should it be?

Not Silver go away

Scientists have been able to create a healthy baby through artificially combining the genetic material of two women. The child is guaranteed to also be a girl, but obviously that's not an issue with Cream.

Blaze kissing Froggy
Princess and the frog style

Draw Blaze kissing Mew from Jet Set Radio.

How about Blaze from 06 kissing Blaze from Rush?
Alternatively, Blaze from Black Knight kissing Blaze from Rush.

sticks

Iizuka is frustrating, but I don't hate him and he has done positive things for the franchise. I simply don't care about game journalists. Penders is completely hatable though, he ruined an entire medium for Sonic in many ways multiple times and acts like an ass doing it.

Seconding this.

So herself?

Think she'd be into that?

Seconding

I guarantee the physics have not been fixed. Sonic Team really just doesn't get it. They people that helped with Sonic 1-3&K aren't there anymore or have different positions. Even the Adventure team isn't there anymore. No one has the ability to look at a game and determine what was good about it and what was bad. No one there has any kind of critical thinking skills. It's sad. I want Forces to do well. I want it SO badly. I like the emphasis on story, the graphics, the music, etc. everything but the actual gameplay. How is this happening.

...

Rouge. you could even make it funny. blaze goes in for a standard kiss and and then gets shocked with a strong french kiss

Jian

Knuckles because their current VAs are married.

>the only victory animation mod so far for Mania is a fucking dab
I hate this fanbase

Iizuka didn't want Sonic Mania happen. He did not make it happen. He only let it happen. And even then, we could have gotten more new stages than what we did if it were not for his meddling.

...

*BEEP* *BEEP*
Best ship coming through

Blaze kissing Chris from Sonic X while he flips /sthg/ off.

Heavy Magician

I'm a sheep?

Sloppy kiss with Big the Cat

I'm not surprised, just really disappointed after Utopia showed how well actual Sonic physics could work in 3D, even if it's just an underdeveloped tech demo. Plus, Mania served as a reminder of how fun the Sonic physics are and it stands out even more with the tiny gap between its release and Forces. And now today, Iizuka shows how much of a moron he is by saying Adventure would be a step back and thinking that they've actually been moving forward with the series. Sure Adventure has a lot of flaws but there's good stuff that can be learned by revisiting them.

Taxman's pitch was a small game, you wouldn't have gotten more original stages regardless.

*Blocks your path*

How do you prefer to imagine sonic's super speed.

Fast but has to build to a running speed (or by using spindash) but at the same time becoming harder to steer or stop. (ie. classic games or boost games without using boost)
Able to zip off with basically no startup speed and able to almost move freely, making hairpin turns and zipping around without sliding or losing control. (ie. How sonic moves in most of the cartoons or comics.)
Able to zip of by charging a peelout of some kind first, even gaining speed mid-run by spinning his legs faster. The same goes for spin dashing to the extent that he can change direction in midair.
(Sonic CD, OVA and the Mania intro to an extent)
The ability to move supersonic like Quick Silver where everything around him seems to be moving slow. (a la the ending of Sonic Battle)
Just treated like normal running but faster.

Just curious since everything seems to interpret his speed differently.

>Iizuka didn't want mania to happen
source? I have a hard time believing that if he greenlit the project himself

Mania was originally going to just be a rerelease of 3&K with the few new levels from Mania as an extra.

Slower than Shadow's.

A bit of everything really.

All of the above

I've literally heard people claim that he Wanted it to happen and others claim that he didn't and nobody's cited a source so I'm just gonna say "who cares"

Except that's wrong

Labyrinth was the only good Sonic Game

...

3.

Now you got me thinking about spindashes in midair and being able to fire off in any direction, with being able to maintain flow with quick little taps or gain speed and height with a longer spindash.

Can someone get on this?

Wait, do people unironically hate Iiuzka? I thought that was just a meme on /sthg/.

>spindashes in midair
It's called the jump dash/homing attack

Iizuka's been making a lot of bad decisions, if not more than good ones

He's a nice dude, but clearly not fit for the Producer role

>spindashes in midair
It's called the drop dash

I want a game where you play as his actual speed. Just make the levels longer, but not bullshit annoying or drag out boring parts. Maybe more loops and corkscrews. And more momentum.

Who do we blame for modern Sonic games quality then?

Shadow would never touch a lady.
He's the gayest hog in all of Mobius.

Omega

No I mean launching Sonic midair in any direction with the spindash. Like holding the button down longer lets you rev up more speed and choose your angle better while little taps can act like a double jump of some sort with some momentum and changing directions midair factored in. No enemies required

The problem is that when you're in a producer/director role, that even if you have little to do with a bad decision, you will get blamed for it. I honestly have no idea how many bad ideas were HIS idea. Or if he just didn't shut the shit down. All we know is that they happened and he's sorta the easiest person to blame. All the faceless guys who're fucking up will get away scott free.

Take notes, Sonic Team.

Is Sonamy a good ship?

He's the head of the team and has said a lot of questionable things that frustrate people. He bares the brunt of criticism since he is said head of Sonic Team.

The producer and director are the people in charge, so even if some designer came up with a stupid idea it's still Iizuka that signed off on it.

No, but Sonaze is.

It's entry level.

Never seen anyone like it, who started this meme?

What would go down if Shun takes over Sonic Team and replacing lizuka?

Besides being able to charge or aim up or whatever, the jump dash is exactly that. Anything else would basically letting Sonic be able to fly.
The dragon boost ability in Freedom Planet is kind of like what you're saying

Sonic
Geoffrey
Monkey Khan
Knuckles
Shadow
Shadow Hawk
Horace
Nicole
Scourge if you count Anti-Sally
Eggman depending on what he did during the times when she was robotized

And I'm sure many more.

Nigger the levels just don't look that good
Shadow gameplay looks like absolute garbage
Like Sega expect you to be hype about that """"fantastic""""" level design/gameplay.
At this point i will watch Forces cutscenes in YT and thats it. The game looks fucking bad design wise.

Amy belongs with Shadow or literally every other male character but Tails or Big

I guess. I never played Freedom Planet either so I wouldn't know

Every Sonic game would have a stupidly complicated story that makes no sense whatsoever.

Poor Omega, he don't have a dick

...

How do you know? He could have something hidden behind that loin-plate of his.

Isn't that what fans wanted?

>big open level with no clear paths from start to finish
No thanks, this ain't Sonic

The producer and director, as much as you think they would, do not have final say. Believe it or not there are people ABOVE those people who can influence, veto, change or make decisions over the director. The director, is RARELY the final authority on everything, even though that's ideally what they should be.

...

Every story will have something big at stake and isn't just Baldy Mcnosehair having a little temper tandrum that Sonic has to settle with a little slap or two.

I don't understand why so many of the sonic fan games are so exploration based. I mean I don't mind a little bit of ambiguity but outside of alternate paths and stuff I don't think sonic is a game/character that benefits from that sorta level design.

I know it's not kissing but the aftermath, this looked better in my head
