Welcome to the Sonic The Hedgehog General. Here we talk all about everything Sonic! Share art and music, discuss new developments, ROM hacks, speedrunning, comics, and more!
See ya tomorrow /sthg/. I hope the anons who are about to play Forces have a good time!
12 more hours of waiting for me on PC.
Jonathan Scott
Cute image! And have fun with Forces, user!
Isaiah Reed
I AM THE TALLEST OF MOUNTAINS
Zachary Jenkins
>No Amy hair How Amyfags will live after this?
Isaiah Ward
I'll live just fine. My hedgehog male is gonna cuck the hell out of Sonic.
Austin Young
Bee boo boo bop boo boo bop?
Same, feels bad
Tyler Wood
Well, what hair can you give the female hedgehog OC?
Jaxson Powell
Why are you posting such a weakling?
Kayden Carter
Reminder that, even if Forces disappoints we can always make a better-feeling Sonic together as a community. Keep your chins up, lads. Our blue boy ain't done yet. I'll see you all in a few days unless I've got some crazy updates to share, but I think I'll be too busy getting through the story as fast as possible to make any progress on our own Sonic engine.
beep?
Noah Myers
It helps she's in the game already. I plan on playing as my original character donut steel, and she'll be Amy's sister who is also a pink hedgehog but with a different hairstyle.
Angel Sullivan
Who's just going to flip through the pictures and ignore all the posts come tomorrow?
Samuel Jackson
I want Groudonfags to stay out of MY general!
Hunter Lopez
I'll be pretty busy tomorrow & Wednesday (playing Forces, messing around with the devkit & then gonna be busy all Wednesday) so I won't be able to post much here.
Carson Ramirez
huggu
Nolan Foster
I've been doing that since the first leaks user. My copy won't be in until Thursday.
Gabriel Peterson
Words within spoilers
I'll scope out all the cute OC's, but depends on how much shitposting there is.
William Brooks
Hope the story entertains you, mate. Hope you're ready to see the state of Infinite when you play through Episode Shadow, too
Alexander Johnson
are you hyped for Mania 2, /sthg/?
Sebastian Allen
*meta posts*
Is he vulnerable? What's his backpack like?
Jeremiah Harris
I am loving the visuals, but that sprite is a bit off-putting. Not bad, but just odd.
Leo Ortiz
>Special Ending Bowser backstabs Eggman. Ruby powered Bowser as true final boss why is eggman always the one being betrayed
Lucas Ross
Come on guys. Leave it to the professionals.
*BEEP* *BEEP* Best ship coming through.
Parker Green
I imagine their relationship to like that of Eggman and Wily in Worlds Collide.
Initially Eggman and Bowser will be impressed by each other's stuff (Eggman by Bowser's castles and Bowser by Eggman's robots). The zenith of their cooperation will be after Mario and Sonic are captured. But after the two escape and start mucking things up, they'll start to get on each other's nerves. Eggman will chastise Bowser for being a simpleton and Bowser will mock Eggman's pack of physical prowess and hair.
Unlike Eggman and Will, though, the two will patch up their differences in time to present a strong, unified front to Sonic and Mario in the endgame.
Jace Morgan
Wait, this is what it looks like? Looks like shit. This title screen got me hyped for nothing.
Christopher Evans
can we talk about this?
Adam Bailey
Bowser's actually savvy enough to not let it happen as often. That and Eggman's final machines have been meh lately.
Not until you post more.
Grayson Mitchell
Amy's in the game already so it doesn't really matter
Camden Nelson
>Mario and Sonic
Why is it always Mario and Sonic? Why not Sonic and Mario?
Christopher Brown
Sounds promising. Can't wait to see for myself what all this "weakling" talk has been about.
Elijah Reed
you should honestly see the much older version of Infinity youtube.com/watch?v=PuSVbs-t78U they actually tweaked a ton of shit here
Cameron Mitchell
>Can't wait to see what all this "weakling" talk has been about Oh, you're gonna enjoy it
Nicholas Jenkins
Mario came first. If it weren't for the plumber Sonic wouldn't even exist
Connor Carter
To be fair Mario came BEFORE Sonic. Your blue boy came out in 1991. Mario started in 1985.
Brayden Edwards
Why is it so laggy?
Also I guess the new one isn't bad but like the other user said, the sprite needs work.
Kayden Howard
>Infinite's Backstory
So, there are anthro animals who work with Eggman without being blackmailed, tricked, or antiheroes in the games now?
Justin Davis
Would Eggman and Mario trade mustache tips?
Matthew Cooper
Sonic's lucky that Mario doesn't hold any grudge for all those jabs Sega took at Nintendo in the 90s
Carson Ross
...
Dylan Cook
In the post credits scenes.
Chase Moore
You mean 1981
Brody Roberts
How can Bump ever hope to compete?!
Angel Harris
I don't like this Sonic 3 styled head
This Amy is cute though.
Bump is just the secret identity.
Gabriel Williams
Horny rat
Zachary Brooks
She literally can't.
That's cute
Jayden Morris
Still, my point stands.
Brayden Reed
...
Levi White
And since then he's become a worldwide phenomenon. There's probably not a single person who doesn't know Mario. He's that famous.
Ryan Smith
IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING WESTOPOLIS REMIX
Ryder Williams
Bumper is just Bump's first form
Jeremiah Bell
...
Jonathan James
Yep. And the world map theme is a remix of the menu music of Shadow the Hedgehog. I think that this is probably the very first time they directly referenced that game in such a way.
Josiah Bell
I must be the only person who thinks that a whole race of weird, sentient bumper-people would be a good addition to the Sonic franchise.
Anthony Brooks
>Chaos 0 was never cool Rude. You guys are pricks. Have there ever been a fast-paced platformer games in 3D, maybe? How’s that for a crossover between the two mascots?
Angel Morris
Hey, I like Chaos & his Chaos 0 design. But his fights in that form were never really that great.
Julian Mitchell
More famous than Mickey Mouse, apparently.
Michael Myers
Chaos is a good character, but his base form is literally nothing.
Jonathan King
Come on Sonic, you can't lose to tall rat and fat rat, step it up.
Thanks Campbell
Who? Is he the guy who sometimes bothers the Duck?
Hunter Perez
Hey guys, Sparky here. Remember my friend Shade?
Back before things got crazy between us, his character was going through a million thousand revisions every other day. A common theme was white hair, usually braided, sometimes pretty long. Another common theme was illusions and altering your perception of reality. He also came up with a gem attached to his chest. And within the context of the Sonic universe, he wanted to be a Jackal. He was trying to move away from the "Shadow" elements that existed strongly in the charater of Shade.
Something about Infinite reminds me of my friend, but I mostly see him as Shadow. Even my friend, although he thinks Shadow is lame now, said that he can see why his younger self loved Shadow. But he thinks Infinite is just like a fan made OC. And even though Infinite shares many elements with my friend's ideas, my friend made it work because he's a super awesome creative genius.
Parker Thompson
>jackal >mercenary so he's just a shitter mix of frost and beerus of Sonic?
Matthew Lee
Sparky, it is 12:38 in the morning. Go to sleep.
Kevin Gomez
shut up boco
Christian Barnes
Would the Infinite reveal be better if he was Nack?
Hudson Ramirez
*snoring*
Landon Morales
>the online manual for Mania mentions a dimension breach on Angel Island >Classic Sonic is now from a separate dimension Did the Phantom Ruby somehow travel from the Modern to the Classic dimension?
Brandon Baker
lol
Julian Gomez
No I don't think so
I thought it was classic to modern.
Josiah Flores
I'm going to sleep soon. I am super tired. But I wanted to say this at some point today, but I was busy with other things.
Seriously it's like Infinite is made up of a bunch of my friend's random ideas while Shadow is my friend himself.
Jaxon Miller
What about Battle? He was slow, sure, but he was strongest out of the cast in that game.
Parker Allen
That's the theory everyone talked about. Modern Eggman made the Phantom Rubies & one of them landed in Classic's dimension.
>/v/
Josiah Reyes
Tails in Forces said that he thought the Phantom Ruby's power was affecting other dimensions. So it's likely that something like that happened.
Mason Roberts
Battle was a shining point for Chaos 0, but sadly, his great moments throughout all the games in that form are few & far between.
Jason Torres
In Generations, Tails mentions that they're traveling through time AND space. Classic Sonic is indeed a younger Sonic from the past, but also from a different dimension who has had similar but different adventures from Modern Sonic. From the plot of Forces, it's generally accepted that the Phantom Ruby in Mania is one of the Prototypes that Eggman created in the Modern dimension, that managed to fuck off as he was destroying the others. It then proceeded to send Classic Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and even Eggman through a major acid trip around Angel Island before fucking off back to it's dimension of origin, taking Classic Sonic with it. It's assumed to either be the Phantom Ruby Prototype that Infinite later destroys in Green Hill Zone, or the one that Buddy eventually uses.
You're probably the only one, but I wouldn't mind getting a bit closer to those bumpers.
Ayden Evans
That should tell you that you have seriously edgy friends.Terrible for long term mental health, but hilarious in small doses. I say dump them if they reach maximum edge. Also get to bed, seriously.
Brandon Rodriguez
Joke or not, you should know better to bring that type of inappropriate content in here. I wag my finger in disappointment in you, user.
Justin Butler
I'm enjoying myself so far but man it feels weird as fuck not being able to boost as the avatar. I wish they had mapped the wispon to a different button too honestly, using the triggers feels unnatural. That might just be because I actually don't like the PS4 triggers though.
Asher Long
My friend needs to be convinced to not buy Sonic Forces. What are some Sonic Products he could pick up?
Angel Rivera
If he wants Sonic Forces, let him get it. Don't try to convince people to not get something they want too.
Hunter Williams
Sonic Forces: Bonus Edition
Liam Myers
Mania, easy. If not, literally almost any other sonic game on steam.
Dominic Sullivan
He's on the fence though and he's asking me for advice. He knows it's a bad decision but he's a Sonic nut. He also knows how fucking underwhelming the game is.
Justin Diaz
Mostly because he has that “INITIATE RECOVERY MODE” attack
Also, Chaos is stronger in terms of strength/attacks Still, at least that game is a shining moment for Chaos 0.
Jose Nelson
Then just tell him to get Generations. Or just tell him to take the plunge, because if he's a big enough Sonic nut that he's thinking about getting it despite his problems with it, he'll likely get it anyway at some point.
Ryder Long
Let him decide for himself man. Other people's opinions don't particularly matter. And if he doesn't like it, he can just return it.
Honestly the best news for me is that the Switch version isn't broken anymore so it will at least be a decent portable game. It's a shame about the rest of it.
Adam Sanders
If he's a sonic nut he'll probably get it anyways over time out of boredom. I don't get this hateboner people have for Forces. It's underwhelming but honestly harmless, Sonic Team pretty much confirmed they're going by Mania's success instead because it got a much better reaction so Sonic's future is due to Mania, not Forces.
Parker Gutierrez
Tell him to get Generations on PC with mods. If he really wants to try out Forces, he can wait until it's cheaper.
