Whoops, forgot to change that detail about the cytube, my bad. But hey, here's to a great 2019 & hopefully a good year for Sonic & /fast/!

Did you remember to say rabbit rabbit rabbit?

fast

Happy New Year everyone

>>11320 Who are the other two in the first pic by the way?

>>11326 The one on the left is Bait. Not sure who the other one is. I wouldn't really count them as "/sthg/ ocs".

>>11326 Bait is the green one. The other is a 4/sthg/ artist's OC.

>>11329 Ya know, the more I look at Modern & Classic side-by-side the more Classic looks like Modern's baby brother

>>11330 They'd be good brothers.

>>11329 Modern is so pretty.

So 2019 is finally here. What would you like to see for Sonic in the next 12 months, /fast/?

>>11336 Cute.

>>11338 A mainline game announcement.

>>11338 Pretty much the franchise backpedaling hard out of what it got itself into for 2019. Since that's not happening I guess I'd like to see the comics be written more closely to how Archie was. With TSR, the movie, and a new comic already announced, seems there are a lot of big projects underway for 2019 that have already been revealed. What else could they reveal for 2019 that we haven't heard of so far?

>>11338 announcement for a cartoon series that isn't just Mania Adventures: The Series or something else only 10 minutes long announcement for a non-spinoff game announcement for a new spinoff game that isn't just a kart racer or mobileshit pontaff get laid off or transferred kishimoto gets fired or transferred Any of these would make me happy

>>11342 >pontaff get laid off or transferred >kishimoto gets fired or transferred What if you could pick only one?

>>11343 I guess Kishimoto getting fired then. As much as I hate Pontaff's writing, gameplay is more important and Kishimoto's leadership and direction seems to be stifling that. Plus even if Pontaff was gone, we'd still have to deal with Toyoda who wrote Forces which was almost as badly written as Lost World.

>>11343 I'd get rid of Kishimoto easily. Bad writing isn't something new with Sonic, and no, getting rid of them isn't going to revert the """"""canon"""""" back to Adventure era. It's dead, period. At least the gameplay could be fixed with a director with better standards.

>>11345 If the gameplay is fixed, maybe then focus from fans will turn towards the stories.

>>11346 Of course. Once you have a proper game, having a memorable story to make it a unique experience is fine.

>>11348 Sleepy time. G'night /sthg/.

>>11349 Night anon

>Trying to gear up my old 3D project in hopes to have it in a working state by this year's SAGE as one of my New Years Resolutions >Already having issue getting good feeling momentum with responsive controls I hope I don't die by the end of this at this rate…

>>11351 Oh lord. Best of luck to ya anon, be sure t keep us updated!

>>11351 You can do it, anon!

What's your favorite & least favorite boss fight in the series?

>>11354 Can't think of them off the top of my head. Bosses honestly aren't something I paid much attention to in Sonic games.

>>11354 Generations' Time Eater is a fucking travesty of game design.

>>11354 Least favorite: the Puyo boss from Mania. It was cute the first time but I dread it every time I go to replay the game. I want to play Sonic, not Puyo Puyo Favorite: I don't know, I don't think this series' boss fights are very good. I guess maybe the first fight for Sonic in SA2. I don't remember its name, it's the robot after City Escape. But it's nice because you can attack it anytime you want if you have the bounce bracelet or are smart enough to stand on the boxes when it flies at you. You don't have to wait for it to land to attack it. In most of the 3D Sonic games, the bosses are invincible 99% of the time until decide to let you attack them

My life is a comedy…

>>11358 It's okay Sonic, 2019 could turn things around!

>>11354 >favorite boss Hydrocity Act 1 boss. Absolutely love everything about it. IMHO, it is the perfect embodiment of what a Sonic boss should be

Guys, is it safe to browse the booru? It says something about not having a certificate and I don't know if that's bad or not…

>>11363 Seems the dumb bakas didn't renew their SSL certificate. It's likely fine and they'll probably replace it with a new one when they notice.

>>11364 Ok, so I'm glad that means I can go there without a problem… but now all the images are GONE! They can't be opened anymore, it's just a broken image icon… I hope we won't lose all our nice art for /sthg/…

>>11365 Doesn't someone archive OC separately?

>>11365 The images are still there, what's likely happening is either your browser or some security software of yours is not loading them because of the invalid certificate. It's best if you wait but if you absolutely can't you may be able to add exceptions so that your security solutions let you browse the site normally at the cost of your security. >>11366 I have a good chunk of it, at least up to the point I left 4/sthg/. Definitely not all of it, though, literally everything posted to the general got uploaded to the booru no matter how dumb it was, which I obviously didn't do.

>>11367 Ok. Glad nothing was really lost. If things will go back to normal soon, I can wait. I just checked in every now and then to see new arts and stuff is all.

>>11358 And not a very good one.

>>11365 >>11368 You can see thumbnails and pictures if you add security exceptions for thumbs.booru.org and img.booru.org.

Is Sonic a good mascot?

>>11353 Cute

>>11354 >favorite Lava Reef, hands down. Everything about it was super dope >the Death Egg panning in on the background >that free fall into the platforms below >the Death Egg activating >the missile chase The boss itself was fun too, lots of tension trying to time the platforms and even if you fuck up, you can recover. >least favorite I'll have to get back to you on that. I'm tempted to say something from SA2 or Heroes, but I can't think of any particularly bad one over the rest. Maybe Time Eater like the other anon said. I'm still not sure how that boss fight is supposed to be played. I just know I must dodge the homing shots.

>>11376 Cute Shadow

>>11378 That's adorable. I wonder if Amy & Metal are gonna be in Mania 2, if that ever happens

>>11379 I have to think they will.

>>11380 The big question for me would be how they could play. Metal can easily be a complete Sonic clone, but how would you make Amy playable in the one-button Classic-styled games?

>>11381 I'm sure they can come up with something with the hammer.

>>11382 True. I mean, there's Amy in Classic game mods that shows her Advance moveset can work in a Classic game but that does run on a 2-button gameplay style.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dba7S-mOiVI

>>11388 A Team Dark stakeout sounds hilarious and really fun.

>those eyes >the way she's biting her sweater Am I beyond saving?

>>11392 >falling for Sage yes

>>11392 Yes, but that's okay.

>>11376 >not frowning fake and gay

>>11395 Shadow loves flowers.

>>11396 I'm gonna need more convincing, post more pictures of Shadow and flowers

>>11397 Well there's that thing in Lego Dimensions, right? It reminds him of Maria or something like that.

>>11398 Maybe, but my post was actually a thinly veiled attempt to get more cute hedgehog pics.

>>11401 Didn't he miss the point? Hoshino was talking about the old designs (classic) and how the new designs (modern) eased the problems of transitioning to 3D.

>>11402 Well I do agree, I also look at it on a level of just trying to do that for the sake of promo art on Nibroc side of the agrument, though for a game, yeah he would be missing the point. But imo, I've always felt that argument regarded "looking good in all angles" seem superuless. The appeal of Sonic's design from the 90s should have been moreso about playing as Sonic, not just looking at him. Not that many people cared too much about how something look in every pose possible, because even real life look bad at some angles, or even misleading. I just think they took that too far when heading into Riders/06 era especially, if I had to make a rant there.

Storytiming Sonic Reborn #1

>>11403 >Riders/06 Ya know, the more I look at the models from those games, the more I wonder why they made the models as weird as they were. The overly long arms & weird proportions made little sense to me, even now so I don't get what purpose they were trying to serve back then.

>>11411 I love pics like these. Something about Sonic crossing over with other franchises that's always interested me

>>11393 I have no regrets

>>11413 >Falling for Sage I can't blame you, tbh.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7To8q-NTpkU

>>11418 Oh hey, that's pretty sweet.

>>11424 Cute lame hog.

Sweet, precious, delicious weekend, you're finally here. How have I been waiting for you

>>11425 Shadow isn't lame. He's the coolest!

How often do you think about Sonic?

>>11430 Pretty often, but not as much as other franchises. >>11426 Are you planning on doing anything Sonic-related this weekend, /sthg/?

>>11430 Every day. Sonic has brainwashed me.

>>11430 Not sure what you mean exactly, but he's on my mind pretty much all day between being here and the Sonic stuff I have.

>>11430 all the time

Oh goddamn it

>>11437 Good God, literally every month there's a new problem and things get more delayed.

>>11437 What's with the beginning of the year delaying comics? It happened twice with Archie Sonic too.

>>11441 That looks pretty fucking rad

>>11441 >shadow fucking ruined

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIMZtz5D-5A >>11444 I fucking love Sonic Heroes Even though it may not be all that good, gameplay-wise

>>11441 Awesome, I want it.

Why'd you have to do me like that Tails?

>>11447 Tails will always ruin everything. Just like in special stages

>>11447 How did you get the rings to spell out "fast"?

>>11450 Not him, but likely debug mode.

>>11441 Looks really cool, though I wouldn't trust electrical stuff licensed/coming from Sega. Does Sonic's head on the charger look a bit misproportioned to anyone else?

>>11450 Kek, I hadn't noticed.

>>11452 As long as the brand manufacturing the unit is reputable, it shouldn't matter that much. Also Sonic's head does look a bit too large compared to his body. I don't think I've seen that artwork used before

>>11450 >>11451 is right

>>11430 I do Tikal's prayer before every meal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtASY8KsJEg

>>11446 Would Shadow grow attached to Chaos Emeralds or have some sort of feelings towards them?

>>11430 I have been playing Big Sonic Adventure for gamecube advance i like amy i like tickl i don't like knuckles he's no i do like eggmaster but eggvipers are illegal sonic R is pretty fun to

>>11459 Well, I've always imagined that each individual Chaos Emerald has its own, unique energy signature - a distinct feeling that each one gives off. You ever notice how Shadow's almost always depicted with the ``green`` Chaos Emerald specifically? Probably because they're complementary colors. I like to think that he's grown attached to that one. Whenever Sonic goes Super, they all scatter…and if Shadow decides he wants to find an emerald again for his own use he'll use their unique signatures to track down the green one, simply because he likes it the most.

>>11449 That's why Tails a shit

>>11461 Hey, that's a pretty neat idea. I'd like to see something like that executed in the games or comics one day.

>>11464 Would it deserve it?

>>11465 Maybe, but I haven't read the other comics nominated

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K01W4LAo4DQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsILsDTN5b4

>>11464 I can't wait for Aaron to ignore this.

>>11471 Remember all that promotion for the comics when they started and now absolutely nothing from them anymore.

>>11472 Please don't remind me. Also I've updated the General Link Compilation with a MEGA full of Sonic Channel wallpapers someone uploaded: https://pastebin.com/gSsdpUB5 Big thanks to them, the wallpapers are fucking awesome. And here's an updated OP Template for whoever wants to make the next thread (when we hit the bump limit) https://pastebin.com/yvPdYH60

Would Sonic ever cheat to win?

>>11474 Only if he's close to losing a race

So what was the last Sonic game you've completed, /sthg/?

Forces It was pretty fun.

>>11477 I found it more infuriating then fun.

>>11477 Huh. Well, what part about the game did you like?

>>11480 Not them but I was going to ask was Unleashed your first Sonic experience. But then seeing the spoiler, what is your first Sonic game if I had to ask.

>>11482 Interesting. Did you play it back on official hardware ala Genesis? Or later on ports of it like Mega Collection for Gamecube or later?

>>11480 >Layout and theme for all the levels was alright I don't see how you can say that. Most of the levels are incredibly linear, and that's compared to how relatively linear boost games already were. They're also all way too easy, with the casino level having a grand total of one enemy in the stage. >I mostly appreciated what they were going for in it's plot and execution I also don't get the praise for the story. I agree that what they were going for was good, but they absolutely fucked up the execution something fierce. Tails is even more of a pussy than he was in Lost World, Sonic's "death" means absolutely nothing, they bring back four villains, only for you to fight a grand total of two of them, one of them being the one no one cares about, you have to play Shadow's story to find out anything about the special new villain, the whole "Green Hill is being turned into a desert" means absolutely nothing, and classic Sonic had no reason to be there.

>>11470 Shadow's 3D model needs some more work but Silver's pretty cute. Nice job nonetheless. Oh damn, that guy is really good at blue spheres, I'm jelly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wp39R2qcZI >>11469 >Sega Sydney's Sonic had blue arms No wonder that place burned to the ground and left no trace. It's funny how even after being a fan for a while and thinking you know a lot, there are pretty big parts that you're still missing, and it's amazing how they can be lost to time when normally nothing ever is. Embedding another vid from that guy so that I remember to watch it tomorrow.

>>11472 Eh, there's that cover Uekawa made. That has to count for something, right? I wonder if some of the delays could have been caused by issues between IDW and Sega. >>11473 Cool, thanks. It's always nice to have a back up of stuff in today's uncertainty.

>>11489 was this in Target? I wish they would start selling their new Sonic stuff on their website. They have them listed but only through third party sellers with the prices jacked up

>>11476 Mania, I suppose. 100% too.

>>11488 I doubt there's much issues between IDW and SEGA. At least, I'd be surprised if there was.

>>11490 Yeah. That Chao and Vector have actually been there for several months now and that's a bit surprising to me that nobody else snatched it up considering Vector and Chao don't get many plushes at all.

>>11494 I’m surprised it took Vector so long to get a plush. I would’ve thought the Chaotix would’ve gotten some around when Heroes and X were around.

Well…this happened.

>>11496 The only award I see the Sonic movie getting nominated for is a Razzie.

Would you use a Sonic phone case?

>>11498 If someone bought one for me, sure. I probably wouldn't go buy one, though.

>>11498 If it had a nice Sonic like that, sure. >>11496 Oof, I wonder how much this is gonna happen before/after the film drops.

>>11500 If the movie is as bad as a lot think, then probably a lot.

https://twitter.com/europe_sega/status/1082381447325978624?s=19 Big lies

>>11502 Ashamed to say I nearly fell for that

>>11502 >Undated controls >When they were on rails 24/7 the whole time Give it up. 2005-2007 games are never coming back based on how garbage they were received. It's honestly a miracle Unleashed has been coming back sans coming to PC so far.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tejoKyCgBsY Heh

>>11503 I'm glad you posted that because I had pretty much fully fell

>>11505 Is this what happens when artists get really, really drunk?

>>11508 Chances are, yes. What kind of drunk would the Sonic cast be?

>>11467 Eggviper is fucking frustrating.

>>11510 True

>>11510 I agree.

>>11511 >Filename When did a Sonic game made you lose control of the character in a cutscene? Oh right, every game after SA1… I feel for you, anon. It was a staple to have full control over Sonic in the good ol days.

>>11513 What about all the cutscenes and level transitions in S3K?

post drunks

>>11514 Nearly all of them you can actually move during them, unless you're like inside of something like Eggman's Eggmobile. You can actually cheese over Knuckles this way after he tries to send you into Hydrocity by jumping off the bridge if you time it just right.

>>11511 Holy fuck that makes me fucking angry.

>>11518 As annoying as things like Egg Viper could get, I still love Eggman's boss quotes in SA1: >GET A LOAD OF THIS!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC3AVlbny1U

>>11513 >Oh right, every game after SA1 I haven't played many of the modern games either, I'm just retarded. To be fair though, notice how the wrong line of dialog is played otherwise I would have been warned that he's "up to something" >>11518 Get a load of this

>>11522 Man, I wish SA1 wasn't part tech demo for the Dreamcast. I didn't hate the Gamma/Knuckles stages & whatnot, but the Sonic levels could've been great with just a bit more polish & focus, imo.

>>11524 Speaking of which, if there's one Sonic game you'd like to see get a remake/remaster, what would it be?

>>11525 Sonic Adventure or Sonic Advance. Adventure would benefit from bug fixes, physics tweaks, better sound mixing, etc. Advance would benefit from widescreen, improved sounds, etc.

>>11527 that's a cute plush

>>11527 >Can't even see over the steering wheel I'm not getting in a car that's guaranteed to crash.

>>11527 How does a car have a rat infestation?

>>11530 One way or another, someone should call an eggsterminator

>>11529 Okay, there. What about now?

>>11532 He looks more cramped than Jeremy in the Peel P50.

>>11532 Better!

>>11525 Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Think about it, the game would greatly benefit from the increased video resolutions from nowadays and from modern game design standards.

>>11535 We already had a 3K remaster It was called Mania

>>11535 The only way this is happening would be by the fanbase. Not to sound like a buzzkill, but I really want Sonic Team to stop rehashing old content. I'm offically done with them and I feel like I'm the only fan left at this point that want to move on from my past of Sonic the Hedgehog. I want Taxman and co to spend all their time on a brand new game, 100% original content, no ifs, ands or buts. The fans can (and are starting to) remake S3K within Mania, which would end up being what you're asking for in the end. And if Project M is to go by, this would be basically killing two birds with one stone; you need to pay for Mania to get this "S3K DLC" for the game, so all the money still goes to SEGA while the fans make the game for fans for "free". While Taxman makes a brand new Sonic game after a fucking decade of waiting. It's a win win.

>>11532 Imagine seeing this on the highway.

>>11537 I was initially really excited at the idea of an Adventure remake because I adore Adventure but as time has gone on I've lost enthusiasm for the idea because I simply don't trust who we have now making Sonic games. Unless it was Whitehead and co. I think I don't want it happening because I just don't want Sonic to look bad yet again and for Sega to basically ruin the few good things in Sonic's history. The movie is already on the way and we know it's going to be abysmal despite the "don't judge until you watch" optimists saying it's still somehow uncertain. There's no good reason to prepare to deal another hard hit to Sonic.

>>11527 >>11532 Sonic would definitely run red lights and stop signs.

>>11541 Would Sonic get arrested for drag racing?

>>11542 Sonic would totally race an undercover cop and get pulled over.

>>11540 >Unless it was Whitehead and co I'm pretty sure they only know how to do retro style stuff. Stealth just pitched a Darkwing Duck game to Capcom and it just looked like a very generic and rather underwhelming retro platformer. I know there's more to the Mania team than Stealth but I wouldn't be surprised if retro is all they know

>>11544 Is there any images or videos of that DD game by chance?

>>11536 Needs more remakes. >>11537 In case it wasn't clear, I meant that post as a joke.

>>11543 Who'd post bail for Sonic when gets thrown in prison?

>>11547 Amy. Sonic never asked for it, but she would do it.

https://twitter.com/europe_sega/status/1082702197991845888?s=19 at this point, I keep asking myself if this is even an official account

>>11549 You're joking, right? https://twitter.com/SEGA_Europe

>>11549 Read below the profile image.

>>11541 He'd do it with other Tails' cars.

>>11552 fugg, meant to post he'd do it with Tails' car.

>>11549 It's annoying when a rumor get's treated like it's real and people shill their shit using it as bait. Really annoying.

>>11554 It does, but that's something to be expected on the internet. Still a shitty thing to do, though.

>>11550 >>11551 >>11554 I feel like an idiot

>>11556 If it makes you feel better, I almost got duped by it yesterday

Who are some dead Sonic characters you miss?

>>11558 adventure era tails, pre colors Sonic, emerl, marine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DizopdPMBw >>11559 >adventure era tails Me too, anon. Me too.

>>11558 Shard >happy ending There was never gonna be any.

>>11567 >2nd spoiler I know

>>11571 >>11571 Got any more adventure webms?

>>11576 I think I have another, but I can't seem it on my computer right now. Enjoy these Chaos in the meantime

>>11577 >Chaos

>>11578 Sorry, Chao's

>>11560 Lah is pure, she deserved better.

Chao were made to be bullied.

>>11583 Lies

I want Chao to come back so badly.

>>11586 Same. Poured so many hours into the old Chao Gardens, would love to see it return.

>>11571 Imagine if all the time, money, and effort put into the other characters was instead funneled into refining this.

>>11585 Sonic would immediately separate those too.

>>11589 But it would make them cry!

>>11594 Too bad.

>>11558 Infinite.

>>11603 What's he looking at?

>>11606 An early preview of his movie

What Sonic character would be best drawfag and what things would each character like to draw the most? Also who would be worse drawfag?

>>11606 >>11607 The movie version of himself is actually chasing him, which is why he looks terrified for his life.

We should start working on a bingo card for the movie. To make it fair the card would need to be like 50x50 squares, though.

>>11609 Amy might be canonically best based on that one moment in the Boom show.

>>11609 >best drawfag Tails, Amy, Shadow >what things would each character like to draw the most? Amy would draw the usual pretty things like flowers as well as Sonic, Shadow would draw whatever random stuff he looks at & Tails would draw mechs, planes & whatnot. >worst drawfag Knuckles (because of his gloves) & Sonic

>>11611 Well if we were to make a bingo card for the film, we'd have to put some suggestions for bingo squares down.

>>11614 >Implying Amy doesn't have a successful self-insert comic called "The Amazing Cute Adventures of the Sweetheart Amy! And her bumbling cute boyfriend Maurice" so Sonic doesn't realize it's him

>>11609 Eggman, Shadow and Amy would all be good at drawing. Eggman would draw concepts for his newest robots, Shadow would draw still life and Amy would draw portraits or animals. Knuckles and Sonic would probably be bad at drawing.

>>11618 >>11614 Knuckles would obviously take up sculpting.

>>11611 I think it would be easier to make of bingo card of things they could get right like "story isn't stupid" or "real people interacting with sonic isn't too awkward" or "didn't have to look away from the screen in embarrassment". >>11609 I think Shadow would be the best and the worst in that he would have the determination to get good but he would also post his drawings with multiple paragraph blog posts that talk about how tough his life is and edgy "how things really are" lectures and expect his fans to read and care about all of them. Tails would draw up new ideas for mechs and stuff, Amy would draw Sonic a lot but never let anyone look at her sketch book if they asked to see it, Knuckles would claim drawing is stupid while secretly trying to get better everynight before giving up in a fit of rage, Rouge would draw gems and things not appropriate for a SFW imageboard, and Eggman would draw a comic were all his plans were successful. I also think Cream would illustrate a comic about herself and all her friends going on adventures, but everyone would be drawn like a hand turkey.

>>11617 Maurice would obviously be a green hedgehog, totally different from that other hedgehog Sonic. >>11620 >Cream would illustrate a comic about herself and all her friends going on adventures, but everyone would be drawn like a hand turkey. That sounds adorable

>>11620 >I think Shadow would be the best and the worst in that he would have the determination to get good but he would also post his drawings with multiple paragraph blog posts that talk about how tough his life is and edgy "how things really are" lectures and expect his fans to read and care about all of them. This sounds way too accurate

>new statues Damn, these are nice.

>>11624 Hey, those are pretty nice.

>>11641 Meant to reply to >>11640, ah well

>>11641 >with incredible speed I'm moving my feet HELP MAKE IT STOP

>>11645 Look, Amy you can't expect me to not rifle through your hamper and get completely naked in your living room jacking off with them after you say "Let me slip into something more comfortable." I just wanted a souvenir and to get ready.

Any opinions on the Sonic World bonus from Sonic Jam? Just got into Saturn emulation and checked it out (hence why the audio skitches out a bit) and it really seems like they could have made something cool with it if they fleshed it out. Also something about the way it is shaded and how chunky and low res the textures are really make it look a like a 3D Genesis/MegaDrive game to me. It actually controls surprisingly smooth and well for just using the standard Saturn pad.

>>11647 I've never played it, but it's always intrigued me, especially with it supposedly being what's left of the Saturn version of Sonic Adventure. Any recommendation for Saturn emulators?

>>11649 I am using Yabause 0.9.15. Picked it since it is compatible with that Linkle Liver Story translation that just dropped. I've tried it with Bulk Slash, Burning Rangers, Linkle Liver Story, Sonic Jam, and Sonic R and I have made it work with all of them with the only issue being that I haven't been able to get it to load bin+cue sets that have multiple bin tracks. For instance Sonic R stores the game on a master track and all the music across 20 other tracks. I was able to load the data track and play the game, but it didn't have any music and playing Sonic R without music and just the sound effects is one of the saddest things. Fixed it by using CDmage to merge all the bin tracks into one with a new cue sheet though. I also don't know how powerful a computer it takes, I have an i7-5820k and GTX 980 so it runs pretty good with minimal slowdown.

>>11651 How old is Bump now?

>>11652 She was created in the first days of August 2014, so she's 4 and going to be 5 later this year.

>>11653 Nearing half a decade. That's crazy.

>>11653 >>11655 >Bump, /fast/ & /sthg/ is nearly half a decade old Jesus, that's hard to think about.

>>11655 >I've wasted almost half a decade talking about Sonic the Hedgehog and friends in chinese basket weaving forums Jesus Christ what am I doing with my life

>>11657 Same boat here, friend.

>>11658 Always nice to know there are other anons from those times still around.

>>11661 cool tv, anon

>>11661 RIP Tails

>>11662 Thanks

I haven't a clue on how I'm supposed to take care of these things.

>>11665 You feed them fruits from trees and give them animals you get from destroying robots. Or you can neglect them and throw them around too if you want.

>>11666 They look ugly when I give them animals, how can I prevent that?

>>11670 It's not something you can help really. I think some animals are less intrusive on how the Chao look than others, but there's always gonna be some changes to their design when you give 'em animals.

IDW #12 preview I like that they're playing up Sonic's willingness to give characters second chances, but this is gonna bite him back in the ass

>>11672 Poor Metal can never let his hate go.

>>11673 He's not a bad bot, he was just programmed to hate

Why won't Shadow be Sonic's friend?

>>11675 Shadow needs no friends, he's a lone wolf.

>>11676 But he's friends with Rouge and Omega.

>>11675 Shadow doesn't like Sonic's upbeat and cocky nature.

>>11677 Yeah, but that's an exception

Hanging around Sonic all the time would be insufferable.

>>11672 It sounds outright foolish and dumb to do that…

>>11682 It really depends on what exactly Metal is. If he's a completely independent robot, then I can see where Sonic is coming from. Metal has always been doing what Eggman told him (aside from that one time in Heroes), so Sonic is giving him a chance to be free. You have to remember that Sonic thinks Eggman is his new, nice self. However, if Metal is a robot specifically programmed to serve Eggman and fight Sonic, then it was really stupid. You might as well try to grant freedom to a loaded rifle.

>>11682 I kinda get what they're going for. The entire fight with Shadow and issue with Tinker had talk regarding second chances. It makes some sense to want to give Metal an honest shot at it. Plus in their mind, he needs serious repair and Eggman is Tinker now and wouldn't help him. Of course that's no longer the case with the new baddie in town, but they don't know that yet.

Tamers12345, anyone?

What's the stage that you've had the most fun with and what's your favorite thing from it?

Hey my drawing got made OP! Here's a gameplay idea I came up with in bed. Thoughts?

>>11696 I love Speed Highway. I just love the look and flow of it. >>11697 Looks neat. Hook shots would make a fun mechanic.

>>11694 I've heard about him, but know so little. >>11696 From Modern Sonic, Speed Highway from SA1, City Escape from SA2 & Spagonia from Unleashed. From Classic, Studiopolis & Press Garden from Mania. I fucking loooove the sakura garden theme of Act 2 & it's something I hope we see more of in future games. >>11697 You made a good pic, OP. And the idea of a hook in traditional Sonc gameplay is pretty solid.

>>11696 I think Press Garden is my personal favorite zone. The music is incredible, and the bouncy conveyor belts and ice blocks are both amazing gimmicks.

>>11696 Windy Valley beta.

Is Sonic a rat?

>>11707 No, but Amy is. A mall rat

>>11707 He's a rat & he might also have rabies

>>11708 >tied t-shirt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YotE31yaDoc >>11694 I've watched about every animation that I think was worthwhile, though there is much mystery that I've found in his videos. Examples are like how in a Q&A he says he got his boxes for his Bartleby at wallmart, claiming that they give him, "shit for free" but in the description of a video where he shows off a Sonic and Bartleby costume, he says he found the boxes outside of a Chinese restaurant. He's also released some videos of him dancing w/ a friend, which makes me wonder if it is this friend who records some videos or Tamer's mom.

>>11707 He's a sewer rat. And Shadow is a lab rat.

sleep

Mornin' losers. Any of you planning to do anything Sonic related today, besides posting here?

>>11724 I might go to Target later to look for Sonic stuff. I really want a Silver plush

>>11724 I'm probably going to go play some adventure dx later

>>11724 I played a bit of Forces again and have an urge to 100% it.

>>11724 Gonna play around in Unleashed a bit more

https://twitter.com/Rokashi/status/1084126006980603908 the movie trailer is coming soon. My guess is Monday

>>11729 Might as well rip the bandaid off I guess. God the lead up to this is gonna suck.

>>11729 Hide.

>>11729 sega better do something extra special for us next year to make up for this mess

>>11724 Nothing planned

>>11729 Predict what's gonna be in the trailer

>>11734 Cancer

>>11734 "In a world where …" Gotta Go Fast do u no da wae to the official sonic movie website/sonic twitter/paramount's website Sonic asks his cop friends if he knows the way to the plot device and then looks at the camera and winks a reference to coldsteel, sonichu, or OCs in general a song by Bruno Mars plays in the background

>>11732 Get ready for the movie tie-in game!

>>11734 Smash Mouth song.

>>11734 Sonic will barely be in it. Most of the trailer will be showing the live actors and scenery.

>>11739 You are full of good fortune…

Here's the covers for IDW #13 done by ABT, Kieran Gates & Nathalie Fourdraine

>>11741 Those are some good covers. ABT's Amy there gave me a powerful longing, though.

>>11734 >dubstep and/or whatever trash genre is popular today >a mild sexual reference >MEMES. MEMES EVERYWHERE. Also >>11739 goes without saying.

>>11743 >a mild sexual reference Regarding Sonic or the humans?

>>11743 Will the Sonic Movie end the meme era?

>>11745 The movie itself will be one giant meme.

>>11746 That's what I mean, it's so meme-filled, no one would want memes anymore thanks to how terrible this movie handled them.

>>11734 Meta jokes at the expense of the fandom, both because of them trying to be funny and to throw jabs at it because they know they're going to cause outrage on purpose and what better way to counter criticism than mocking those that criticize you! >>11744 Probably Sonic but I don't necessarily mean one or the other, I was thinking of just something generic.

>>11744 my guesses: Sonic runs past a woman causing her dress to fly up but it's not enough to see any panties Sonic spindashes and accidentally hits James Marsden in the balls, causing him to curl up in a ball himself, much to Sonic's amusement A woman wears something that shows off her cleavage. Sonic, being a hedgehog who has definitely never seen a human before and does not know anything about social protocol, just cannot stop staring at her breasts. James Marsden slaps him or says something about "the birds and the bees" but replaces one of those animals with hedgehogs if these aren't in the trailer they will be somewhere in the movie. These are the most cliche things I can think of and everything we've heard about the movie so far has been incredibly cliche >>11745 it will either be so bad and cringy that everyone will be afraid to use Internet memes anywhere but the Internet or it will usher in an era of irony and advanced memery unlike anything we've ever seen before

>>11672 Couple more preview pages.

>>11742 What did he mean by this

>>11750 So is Metal gonna revert Tinker back to Eggman?

>>11750 Why does the duck care about Eggman so much?

>>11754 I think something was said earlier about him admiring Eggman, but I could be wrong about that.

>>11753 I would assume. Eggman loves that robot after all.

>>11756 True But who wouldn't love best bot, anyways?

>>11757 Only monsters and lame organic blue rats wouldn't love Metal.

>>11758 Damn right

>>11721 I think he's just a troll, nothing more nothing less, he made an earthbound animation way back when in 2010 i believe.

>>11761 That's cute >>11751 I think anon wants to hug that Amy

What are you doing right now, /fast/? I'm looking at level layouts from S3&K to get a grasp on good level design

>>11763 Currently playing a little HD Sonic Unleashed I may do play some Sonic Advance, or Sonic 2 later depending on the mood.

Ready for that movie trailer this week?

>>11765 I forgot it (the movie) even existed >>11764 That reminds me: I still haven't played advance 3 yet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx3UPfzGeN4 >>11763 I got tired of playing XCOM so I'm taking a rest by listening to some music and reading some Sonic twitters. Was about to post here a few things I found.

>>11763 Playing Star Wars KOTOR. And browsing here of course. >>11765 I'll never be ready.

kek

>>11765 scared

>>11769 Thanks to Paramount, some people are looking at the fanfilm in a good light now. What a world we live in. >>11765 I'm ready to hide from it

>>11773 I nice face too look at with your morning cup of coffee.

>>11765 I legit keep forgetting the movie is a thing. I keep thinking everything about the movie I have aeen was just some elaborate shitpost. I kind of wish it would just come it now so we could be on our way to forgetting about it already.

>>11775 I have a feeling once it drops that the internet will never let us forget it.

When do you think the damage control will start? Not Paramounts, but Sega's. They've been avoiding the movie completely since the movie poster reveal. The twitter never even posted it, they just to look at it on IGN.

>>11777 >They've been avoiding the movie completely since the movie poster reveal. The twitter never even posted it, they just to look at it on IGN. I get the feeling there was some sort of deal for that given how it played out, but it is a little weird. Still, there haven't been any news since so we'll see how it continues to play out. >When do you think the damage control will start? I have no idea what their stance on this movie is at this point, nor how they could damage control it.

>>11777 Nice get It's actually started with Mania at this point, since that's the most well received content for Sonic in the last 7 years or so, the only thing left for them to do is make a Mania sequel until they get a better team to start working on 3D games again.

I hope the movie does all right financially so Sega and the Sonic franchise are mostly unaffected, but I hope that people get so outraged that Sega feels like they have no choice but to put out something absolutely amazing for 2020.

>>11777 I think this is Sega's damage control. Reminds of me when Sega delisted some games like Sonic 06 from their catalogue to not "confuse people about the brand" or some shit. Sega's damage control MO of late seems to be to just ignore shit. >>11780 Does the movie even have to do well? I thought Paramount just had the Sonic license, I don't how much Sega put in to the fund the movie, so I don't know how much they stand to lose if it flops.

>>11777 Nothing they can do short of announcing a new game which I don't think they will this year. They'll let Paramount handle PR and you probably won't hear much on SEGA's end outside of basic acknowledgement of its existence and maybe a forced interview with Iizuka.

>>11783 Bump is me when I see 8/sthg/ Sage is me when I see 4/sthg

>>11783 Bless Sage >>11784 Kek

>>11786 I love characters seeing the difference between them and their real life counterparts.

>>11776 Do you think we'll start getting articles like these again?

>>11789 I figure at it's very worst, we could see it go from "Sonic needs to die" to "Modern Sonic needs to die" or more likely "Modern Sonic needs a break." I think Classic Sonic will be considered separate from Modern/Movie Sonic in most of their eyes and it being a good idea for SEGA to just focus more on Classic moving forward and putting Modern on the back-burner.

>>11781 >I thought Paramount just had the Sonic license Maybe if it's a complete flop it'll stop these companies flocking to Sonic to make a quick buck at its expense.

>>11788 I love the way ABT draws.

>>11792 He's a very good artist.
