I don't understand any of this. Is Sonic supposed to

>>94825810
He's melting, Anon

>>94825810
That's not how sonic eyebrows work fag

>>94825825
Of course, I get it all now.
This all goes back to the historic treaty of Sega and Nintendo where Nintendo agreed to help save their dying company at the price of gaining an Ice Golem shaped like their old mascot. The contract of course being void upon completion of a successful retro Sonic game. They tried it back with Sonic 4 but it finally stuck.

>>94825810
He's spitting blood

>It's good to have you back
>Sonic Generations was in 2011
>Mario Galaxy 2 was 2010
Will Sonic send Mario a letter for Odyssey?

>>94825840
You're gonna complain about the eyebrows before the fact that his head is as big as his body and limbs combined?

>>94825810
Whoa, that's Penny Arcade? I know they've gone towards a strange direction but I didn't even recognise this as PA art until I saw the url in the corner. Have they always drawn Sonic like this? Something about him just looks weird.

>>94825923

I can't think of too many times where they've drawn sonic

They don't draw Sonic a lot.

And Super Mario 3D Land, New Super Mario Bros. U, and Super Mario 3D World totally weren't released between then and now.

Honestly it doesn't seem inconsistent with the actual proportions they're using for the character design in this game.

If we're counting shit games, there were 4 Sonic Boom games released between Generations and now, as well as Lost World which is divisive among the fanbase.

That's not how sonic eyes work how do you fuck that up??

>>94826048
no lbw

>>94825952
Thanks, I think I figured it out. OP's comic has a character they draw kinda rarely, he's shaded in a soft style the comic doesn't normally use, and there aren't any speech bubbles in their regular font; just a letter with a font they don't tend to use. These things combined make the comic look different compared to the usual PA style.

Still not sure about the point of the comic, though. Usually the text posts help decipher the joke, so I tried reading it. I think Sonic's supposed to be touched and crying because things are finally going nicely for him?

>>94826004

You have to be shitting me

Sonics actually been thriving for the past few years. His cartoon has a following, his twitter is famous for memes, hell I even heard the last Sonic Boom game wasn't bad.

I dunno if his spit is blue, but his blood is.

>>94826126
Its the whole "SMURF" thing.
Anyone who ever made a Smurf joke ever has always said that their insides are all blue.
blue heart, blue brain, blue lungs
blue blood
blue spit
blue jizz

every time.
So I guess blue characters just are filled with blue-stained entrails and fluids according to pop culture.

>>94826126
I thought this had rings in it

Or was that an edit

This is stupid. There were way more Genesis hits than SNES ones in that time. Of course they didn't get a sequel every 2 years, so they have been forgotten.

Classic Sonic is 2.5 heads tall.
Modern is ~3.

Krahulik was born in '77; the Genesis hit North America in '89. He would have been 12. It would have been his entire adolescence.

4th gen was a long fucking time ago now.

Is there really a rule?
It's weird enough they're connected, I say draw them however really.

Maybe because the first truly amazing Sonic game in years that managed to actually improve upon the originals was a game that wasn't even made by the Sonic Team?

It's a bit stretching but I genuinely can't tell what the hell else this comic is meant to convoy.

>>94825973
Two of those were trash reheaps of them re-releasing the same game but worse.

Can't wait for Odyssey though. It's like pottery that two of vidya's most popular mascots have been stumbling to stay in relevancy with poor quality games for a handful of years, just for both of them to return to form in the same year.

End this shitty meme. The only bad Sonic games were 06 (lack of polish and shit plot that could be decent with a few tweaks) and the storybook games. Nostalgiafags need to move on.

>>94834688
Apart from the fact that you're forgetting that Sonic Boom and Sonic Lost World exists and are very recent, the truth is that Sonic once he began going 3D his games were becoming mixed bags.

Not bad per say, but incredibly mixed. The Adventure series while made up a good chunk of my childhood were both filled with odd and poor gameplay decisions. Same with Sonic Hero's and Sonic Unleashed.

>>94826004

Calm down Chris-chan. Don't go freaking out cause somebody doesn't draw sonic to suit you.

06 was a shit idea from the start and even if it was playable it'd still be shit.

I think Heroes, Shadow, Riders, Rush, Advance, and Lost World are good games

>>94826036

Never played Rush, but I do agree with you on Advance & Heroes.

>>94834688
Anon, come on now. Every good Sonic game is suddenly the first good Sonic game in decades. We were down this road with Colors & Generations, it's no shock we're doing this again with Mania. I honestly hope Forces turns out to be great, just so someone can call it "the best Sonic game in years" too

>>94834688
Sonic and the Black Knight, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Boom, Sonic Lost World, Sonic 06, Sonic Free Riders, Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic And The Secret Rings, Sonic Lost World were all sub-par AT BEST

>>94836667
Hey, fuck you I liked Unleashed.

>Sonic and the Black Knight, Sonic Unleashed
Neither of those games were that bad, its mostly dipshits not liking that fact that sonic is doing something else than running

>>94825973
None of those count as a proper Mario headliner game.

>>94836787
>Sonic Unleashed
Sonic Unleashed had problems. Yeah, everyone rags on the Werehog, but it's still true that it really fucked up the pacing of the game. The night levels were a consistent slog of beat 'em ups and slow ass platforming. Those tightrope segments were annoying as fuck. And Sega admitted it was only really in there because they felt people would find the game too short without it. If each of the Werehog segments were half the length they were, it would've been a lot better.

>>94836828

Why not?

>>94834688
I would say that Sonic Mania is the first actual *great* Sonic game we've had in a long time. Every game before that, starting with Sonic going 3D with Sonic Adventure, was either good but not great, mixed, or just plain bad.

>>94836828
3D Land and World certainly do
