>>20306 While true, even they get "highlights"; metal is a boss, shadow gets a cutscene and Chaos gets to sorta feature in the most striking stage of the game. Mephiles flat out doesn't exist before this point, and the "even Mephiles" thing makes it sound like he had to have done something at the very least.

>>20297 As a note here's proof in regards to the proto rubies being blue at one point. Since thats mentioned in the script. >>20307 As an obvious point, you'd expect an early script to contain larger ideas for obviously rushed concepts like the illusion enemies. The final product is clearly a case of rushing, not intended malproportion. However this is clearly already based on what they expect they can do, Infinite's maybe not-Null Space definitely doesn't exist by this point. The green hill concept art isn't around.though that ones more of a crapshoot, at least not null space has leftovers Classic sonic has been shoved in even if not all the tie in elements have been implemented yet.this script was made a year after mania started development after all The final is clearly a gutted version of this with the tie in done fully. Say now that i think about it, didn't this script have some comments to go with it? Like comments that clearly pointed at issues with the script.and that they ignored 2014-2015 forces really seems like an interesting topic in regards to a lot of things, probably before they knew what they were limited to and no shoved in tie in. I wouldn't be shocked if little of the actual game existed by that point, but from a concept view it seems that Forces probably went through a lot. I remember Lizuka mentioning that at one point Buddy was considered too much of a main character and was given less importance in the final. Notably despite being mentioned in that script the death egg/eggmanland lack any concept art thinking about it. Wonder what kind of concept art got held back.of course i could just be overestimating how much was made for early forces.

>>20308 >Lizuka Stop that.

>>20309 You can't stop me from doing dumb shit while barely awake. Unironically a typo though, not my memory fucking up.

>>20309 >>20310 Lizuka the Iguana will now be my new Sonic OC.

>>20308 >Say now that i think about it, didn't this script have some comments to go with it? Like comments that clearly pointed at issues with the script.and that they ignored Yes, I think I remember something to that extent. I think the comments were from Webber, though I don't remember if the comments themselves leaked or the leaker just made comments about some of Webber's comments. How legit is that script anyway? I mean I know what the tweet says but is that trustworthy?

>>20308 Fuck, I'm still salty that Green Hill & Null Space level never became a thing in the final product. I remember the CaC was supposed to have more options than what we got too. Sonic Forces had so many cool ideas that I wish were better utilized.

>>20313 >Sonic Forces had so many cool ideas that I wish were better utilized. Sadly, you can say this about most Sonic games.

>>20314 Sadly. It's a shame too, because I don't see SEGA going back to the concept of a game where Eggman won & that would've made for a great title.

Holy shit, someone actually bought these, and by using the buy it now for the full 10 grand no less, seems they were scared someone would pay even more in the auction?

>>20215 Hey, that's a nice cute walrus you have got there, buddy.

>>20312 The webber one was a excel document like the 06 one. Which makes sense as a physical draft wouldn't have such comments on it. While i can find signs of a full leak, i can't find of case of those not being taken down. So its pretty much a case of trust.

>>20319 >That last comment Heh. Ya know it would've at least made sense in Forces with Sonic & co. fighting the replicas of Eggman's Army but I don't remember if they were all defeated or not by the time you fight the last boss of the game.

Hello /fast/. Someone translated Dash & Spin Chousoku Sonic Chapter 17, and it's so cute, I just have to share it here~

>>20322 >>20323 >>20324 >>20325 I love this. Wish we got more english translations of Dash & Spin, it always seemed pretty amusing to me

GO SEGA

>>20327 Honestly, I hope this "Zombot Arc" ends with Sonic having to decide whether to save Eggman from an Angry Mob (and risk his entire reputation along the way), or just let him be Lynched on the spot (lead by a cured Shadow of course). If it comes down to it, what would any of you pick?

>>20328 Lynched. I really want to know how Sonic would defend him again after all they've been through following world conquest then roboticizing everyone almost back to back. Eggman will probably find some way to escape during all the chaos and may operate in the background once all is said and done. Do you think Shadow has learned his lesson about infections if they had to face the Corona virus next?

>>20327 >white on Silver's cheek Is he infected or is that just shading? >>20328 I feel letting him be lynched would contradict his character so I would choose not to force an ending like that, but some level of retribution would feel good. Honestly, I think they let things get way too bad in hopes of creating tension, but it hasn't really worked for me and now the conclusion is probably going to disappoint because there's no satisfying method to end arc. >>20329 >Do you think Shadow has learned his lesson about infections if they had to face the Corona virus next? They characterize him as very hotheaded and foolish, so I don't think so. I'm not a fan of this.

>>20330 >I think they let things get way too bad in hopes of creating tension I agree. This is, what, the second major arc of the comics? In this, alone, we've had: -several major characters "dying" -a near total apocalypse -Sonic's decision to be a nice guy getting questioned by several of the good guys -Sonic close to "death" and constantly getting closer -pretty much every shred of hope getting torn apart And, to top it all off, the big finale is a fight with the fucking Zeti, unless they pull a dumb twist on us once Sonic goes super. Isn't this supposed to be a kids' comic about a blue hedgehog with an attitude that likes to run fast? I feel like Flynn is beginning to forget that and is trying to go too big, too serious, too quick. Where exactly does he plan to go from here? Eggman has done practically the most heinous thing possible short of allying with Satan himself, all life on the planet has come to the precipice of complete annihilation to a near indestructible threat, and Sonic himself is full of self-doubt and nearly became a goner. What is going through everyone's heads at IDW?

>>20331 Probably blue balls after the lackluster execution of Eggman having taken over the planet in Forces. Sonic actually felt down compared to how he was after being taken out of commission for 6 months.

>>20331 >I feel like Flynn is beginning to forget that and is trying to go too big, too serious Which is ironic, because it's true yet the comic has shown a lot of resistance to doing exactly that by focusing too much on action and being as shallow as it could, probably in hopes of appealing to kids as much as possible. Nothing really feels engaging or memorable to me, they just keep creating more awful situations one after the other and it doesn't feel like there's anything of substance behind it for me to care, it just feels cheap, like that time they shoehorned Team Dark dying in Archie because they just felt "someone had to die lol." >Where exactly does he plan to go from here? Seems the arc is going to abruptly finish by some magic plot device and then I think they'll move on to some entirely new arc that doesn't really take advantage of almost anything that came before. I get the feeling they're going to start handling this more and more like the games.

>>20331 While I do think there's something to be said for how much has happened on the second arc of the comic, I don't see much issue with where they go from here once the arc is actually over. The relationship between Eggman/Starline is dead, Sonic will most likely be vindicated in his belief of letting Mr. Tinker go & they seemingly set up something in the future that will have Eggman face the possibility of helping people again in the last few issues, so we'll more than likely see these elements explored post-Zombot arc. And with the plotline of the Warp Topaz possibly fucking up space-time I kinda have a feeling they might tie that into a crossover story in the future >>20333 Oh, it's absolutely handling things more like the games. Ian's always had his flaws as writer even during my favorite runs of his, but IDW is the most hands-on SEGA has been on a Sonic comic & IIRC, they've even helped Ian on ideas for plots & whatnot. So the comic won't be 1:1 with the games, but it'll definitely be more like it.

>>20324 >squatting WE SLAV HOGS NOW >>20322 Lol, I have no idea what that was but I like jap comics, I've always hoped more stuff would get translated. Assuming it's jap, I've actually never heard of this before somehow! Thanks for posting!

>>20335 Squatting is also a thing heavily associated with Japanese highschool delinquents.

last bumb before limit

>>20337 owo

>>20337 Cute deer >>20335 Yeah, Dash & Spin was a pretty obscure Sonic manga from the mid-2000s. I don't know how many have been translated, but I do know that's not the case for the majority of the series. Hell, I remember reading something that some issues weren't even scanned.

>>20322 First time I ever heard of this. Never knew there was another manga like this. I just love the facial expressions there, reminds me of the toony vibes Fighters gave.

>>20324 >>20325 I really like this interpretation of Shadow just being happy to find someone like him. It makes sense, Maria and Gerald were pretty much the only people he knew, and both were normal humans. Finding another cocky hedgehog that could run fast would be a godsend for someone like him that had few friends.
