>who will you play as first?
probably sonic
>>will you go for 100% immediately or stagger it out over several playthroughs?
I think I'll just enjoy the game without trying too much for my first playthrough, but I plan to 100% eventually
>>what are you gonna eat/drink/play/watch the last few hours before it drops?
I'll probably be sleepin'
>>will you watch the intro animation on youtube the day it drops or save the surprise for when you start the game?
I don't want to watch it but I'm sure I'll be too damn excited and watch it anyway

Sonikku of course.

1st playthrough: Gotta go fast
2nd-x playthrough (s)- 100%
x+1 playthrough - super Sonic

this is the only way to play mania.

Sonic and Tails first.
I'll probably do it all over multiple playthroughs.
Gonna get pizza and watch the OVA.

Go for 100%, if I don't make it I'll start a new playthrough.

TOTINO'S #STUFFEDNACHOS (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b590g9j_wk), maybe one last playthrough of S3&K, hopefully someone streams the OVA

Stagger it, want to feel the flow in my body for my first playthrough

>>what are you gonna eat/drink/play/watch the last few hours before it drops?
Drink some GuaranĂ¡ Antartica with whatever is available here, will probably be watching Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds, there's two monsters there called "Sonic Bird" and "Bolt Hedgehog"

>>will you watch the intro animation on youtube the day it drops or save the surprise for when you start the game?
As much as i'd like to save it, i'll probably watch it early
>>
Anyone got that Sonic Retro romhack video with the monitor gag? Also, for my first time playing through 3&K, should I just do vanilla or Sonic 3 Complete?
>>
>>386266084
They are okay but I recommend you playing Sonic 3 complete instead once you get there.
>>
>>386266209
I say play through 3&K vanilla first, then follow up a few days later with 3C just to appreciate the improvements.
>>
>>386266084
Why would it be? It's just emulations of the original games.

>>386264786
>who will you play as first?
Sonic+Tails. If that's an option at first.

>will you go for 100% immediately or stagger it out over several playthroughs?

I'll try for 100% if I can get it. I'm sure it'll be easy because of Giant Rings rather than "bring 50 to the end of the level".

>what are you gonna eat/drink/play/watch the last few hours before it drops?

I might play through CD the day before it drops. Or 3&K. Can't say for sure.

>will you watch the intro animation on youtube the day it drops or save the surprise for when you start the game?

Hmm, didn't think about this. Maybe I'll make it a surprise for myself. Sounds like a good idea.

So this fan game just got pushed into my youtube feed (because I have been hype binging Mania videos probably)

All I can say is this is the first time I've seen classic sonic with a shifting camera and I fucking hate it.

Sonic Jam isn't emulation, they're ports.

Sonic 1: The Next Level. Only three acts and a boss, but it's pretty fuckin tight.
>>
>>386266607
Oh, yeah. I forgot.

But it's basically the same as the regular games give or take a few things. You're still playing Sonic 1.

>>386266634
They honestly look like something that was taken from another game and put into Sonic for the sake of it.
>>
>>386266604
Shifting camera is fucking shit, tried the "Random Level Project" hack and the camera almost made me sick, thankfully i could disable it
>>
>>386266634
The idea is sound, a third party that doesn't work with Eggman or Sonic. The execution was bad. The designs were based on Oni anyway, that much is obvious. Classic Japanese Oni doesn't work in Sonic style.
>>
>>386266753
>those parts of the level where you go into zero gravity

Fucking tightest shit of my life.

The boss was pretty meh, though. Kind of fun but also kind of annoying

Make a Chilidog and watch the OVA, hopefully someone streams it so we can watch together.

I will have class so I'll just play it after coming back

Until I play the game, I already spoiled myself too much seeing the special stage

First time, just for fun. Second time is serious business. Third time, if I missed anything, get the little easter eggs.

>what are you gonna eat/drink/play/watch the last few hours before it drops?
I'm sadly going to be on vacation while this drops and taking my pc would be a pain in the ass, but I'd honestly love to see /v/ lose their shit. Maybe play a little bit of Taxman's Sonic 2.
But I wanna drink some fanta when I finally play it.

Savor it. Fuck spoilers.

I'll get everything for Knuckles and tackle the other play styles in my own time.

>what are you gonna eat/drink/play/watch the last few hours before it drops?
I usually eat healthy, but for Sonic Mania. I'm going to get an extra large pizza just the way I like it with a bag of grapes and a couple of jones sodas.

I've been playing the classic trilogy and rom hacks. I don't want to burn myself out to quick the night Mania is released, so I'll check out Sonic Boom or the OVA again.

>will you watch the intro animation on youtube the day it drops or save the surprise for when you start the game?
Of course. I don't think spoilers negatively impact the game and I think it will be good enough that I won't mind watching it again.

It's still really fascinating to me that, after all these years, Jun'ichi Kanemaru and the rest of the original Sonic Adventure cast are still voicing their respective characters in the JP versions of these games after all these years. The American cast has been constantly switched up over the years.

Sad to hear about Chikao Ohtsuka, though

Yes, Sonic 2 ain't as content full as 3&K but the level design follows a slightly different philosofy which is also pretty damn enjoyable and Mania might borrow some inspirations from it
Sonic 1 might be kinda rough to go back to though

If it leaks, I'll download it, but I already have it pre-ordered twice, so I don't feel too bad about it. If you don't intend to buy Mania, you don't deserve to play it. I don't usually care about pirating games and I do it myself sometimes, but this case is different. Mania vs Forces is pretty much an election, and you cast your vote by buying. I don't care how autistic this sounds, if you care at all about Sonic games, you'll buy Mania twice and pirate Forces.

You know what no Sonic game has managed since 3&K? The fucking Sonic aesthetic.The series began on a hybridization of classic animation styled character art and late 80s early 90s cg pop art for its backgrounds.

Adventure+ injected way too much anime in a series that really had no business straying into those visual tropes.
>>
>>386271697
Before I used to think there were only two ways to pronounce Hydrocity:
high-draw-city and Hydro City (with a pause after Hydro)
But now that I'm thinking about it, pronouncing it Hydrocity (without the breaks) has the flow of High-draw-city and correct pronunciation of the O.

>lanky limbs
You know there's a reason platformer characters have stubby limbs its so its easier to tell where the character will land when doing precise jumps. You know something thats kinda important for the genre.

Sonic's design is practically perfect as it is. Its one of the reasons his series will never die

Sonic wouldn't need a back pack because he's fast enough to run across multiple zones on foot in just a couple hours. It's not like he'll be out long enough that he would need to carry anything. and there's plenty of onion rings just floating around so he'll never be hungry
>>
>>386274202
Here's the thing; the Advance games are alright, but they're not some semblance of perfect handheld Sonic. Advance 1 was good but had some bugbears in the way of occasionally strange level design, especially towards the end. Also no depth perception in the special stages. Advance 2 is good fun when you're just running through the stages, besides certain ones when bottomless pits are involved like Sky Canyon, but the boss fights aren't that great (and fuck the insta kill on the giant hand), and getting the Chaos Emeralds was a complete and absolute chore to an extreme I never thought possible in a Sonic game. And Advance 3 is easily the most polarizing game, since while the team-up mechanic is neat, you either love or absolutely hate the level design, collecting chao and special keys to go for Chaos Emeralds, and the strange hub zones. Eggdoken doesn't make up for levels that love bottomless pits, crushing and dickish enemy placement.

Pretty much every DIMPS Sonic game on the handhelds has some sort of flaw, honestly their most refined and least bullshit games are probably Advance 1 and Colors DS.
>>

It'll sell more but won't be as critically well received as Mania so they'll clumsily half ass another gameplay gimmick in the next game.

https://soundcloud.com/rintron-687415566/mania-mini-boss-sfx-rmv-attempt-1

So I thought to myself yesterday: "Shit, I really would like to listen to the mini boss music, but with less annoying sound effects". So I decided to try and remove them using a VST and some manusal copy paste labor (plus aligning).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u37jvd3bP-k
I took the audio from this youtube video, and as you can hear in the soundcloud above... it's kinda not working as intended. The sound effects for when Sonic stops (the screechy halt thing) are actually nicely gone. But other ones aren't playing as nice. Though for now I've only bothered to apply: sonic jumping/sonic hitting the boss/boss explosion/screechy halt. This is starting to piss me off. I know it could be better, hence my frustration. Should I continue trying to clean this up or should I give up seeing as Mania is like ten days away?

Thanks god
These ""new"" Super Sonic falling and spinning sprites were awful
>>
Alright, I'm just going to come out and say it: The drop dash looks like EZ MODE bullshit for people that instantly want momentum at a single button press.

The point of the spindash is you get a burst of momentum but it requires you to stop entirely, forcing the spin dash to mainly be used to get back in the groove after a fuckup. You get instant momentum, but it comes at the cost of several seconds. Drop Dash works more like the Boost of Unleashed/Colors/Generations, something you want to constantly hit no matter the consequence so that you can go fast as shit and kill the things in front of you with no effort involved at earning that speed. There are moments in the classic games where you don't want to spindash because it would stop you completely; are there any times at all where it isn't beneficial to be drop dashing?

Is there something about the drop dash i'm missing, or is it really that straightforward and overpowered?

I'm not really holding out much hope for lots of full and in depth mods for the game, but it would be cool to get some alternate character skins. But with how detailed the default characters are, and how many poses and animation frames it would take to fully replace, I'm not too sure how many of those we'll even see.

cute, I feel like that'd have been a great direction for them to take, doesn't look too simmilar to anything we've seen in an official game so far imo

I think that they (in my eyes) seem to be trying to distance Classic Sonic from Modern, and I believe they distanced Mania from Sonic 3 sprites because it looks too much of a midterm between 1/2 and Modern Sonic (so he'd end up looking too much like Modern Sonic, being a nono from Sega)

this is all me guessing though

I think Mania has my favorite iteration of the Sonic sprite. It looks really nice, and I love the color palette they went with. Sonic Mania in general looks really vibrant.
>>
>who will you play as first?

I'm probably going to just play as Sonic. Tails is easy mode and I was never comfortable with Knuckles's movement.

>will you go for 100% immediately or stagger it out over several playthroughs?

I think it would be boring to try and 100 per cent immediately. I'm going to play to get to the end of each stage.

>what are you gonna eat/drink/play/watch the last few hours before it drops?

given the time differences, i'll probably be just waking up or just before going to bed.

>will you watch the intro animation on youtube the day it drops or save the surprise for when you start the game?

>>386277819
I've said it before back when just the top half was what you had finished, but this really is the best sonic sprite. Though I see you took some of Mania's softer colors for the outline of the belly and I'm not sure its working. It almost looks like the belly is exploding outward. Your first compromise seemed better in adding 3s highlight and keeping 2s dark outline.

At any rate bottom middle is now my GOAT Sonic sprite. Sucks that we'll never get it in motion.

What a fabulous intro. Shame that the series lost any potential it had with Zero Gravity and then went into negative points with Free Riders. Just a plain Riders 2 would have maybe made something interesting that could have absorbed the eventual development of All Stars Racing/Racing Transformed.

I mean, I like Racing Transformed, but it's just not the same. It's too clean and "safe," I feel. Not sure how to describe it, but the new Sonic/SEGA racing games just don't have the same magic that Riders did. The music also lacks the same charm.

Also, I realize now that, if Storm was Cyan-colored, the whole Riders cast would have formed a neat RBY-CMG color complement dynamic. Shame they just made him gray.

I'm fine with hyperpotions. They're whatever and it's not like it'd have those godawful vocals.

Zero Gravity wasn't bad if you were able to play with a normal controller, honestly. It lost certain things, but it was fully respectable and nowhere was heinously perfect play AI as the first game (which incidentally made it way too easy).

Free Riders though, jesus christ what were they even thinking?

HOLY SHIT GUYS NEW CHARACTER CONFIRMED

Not every idea in this video is terrible. I like his idea concerning momentum being a focus and expanding on 3&K's ability system. However, I think the way he suggested it is kind of stupid and also fuck that redesign and his suggestion that the art style should change and that lives should be done away with. After watching this video I don't know if I'll ever complain about Modern Sonic's redesign again.

>lives should be done away with
They should though. We have save files nowadays

Lives are only good for No Save Mode in Sonic 1 and 2
>>
>>386282704
Going back to the start of the level instead of to the last checkpoint is still a good punishment
>>
>>386282704
Honestly, lives were always an arcade game concept. When running out of lives just resets your progress back to the beginning of the zone, or in cases like the 3D Sonic games just reset you back to the title screen and then you just start the same stage over again unless you forgot to manually save after certain points in 06 it's just kind of..

Redundant? It comes off less as a punishment and more of wasting time.
>>
>>386282704
Games without lives usually have lenient checkpoint systems and encourage recklessness. They let you throw yourself at an area as many times as you like with no real risk so you can actually just muscle through it and you're never forced to adapt and git gud.

Unless the level is grueling hard, and let's be real no Sonic level is

It's just padding at that point. Lives are an archaic element of saveless games that exist for arcade machines to eat your quarters

>>386282873
I find it kind of funny lives were the most effective in Sonic 06 than any other 3D game

Its funny because apart from his ideas on the character design and specifics regarding updating how he controls pretty much EVERYTHING else he says applies directly to what Sega has allowed to happen with Mania. Mania is the result of most of this advice.

In Riders, you had this air meter that you had to manage that you would replenish by doing tricks or stopping to fill up at air stations (which was usually a terrible idea unless you were about to run out; good risk/reward). Air would constantly drain as you rode your board, and you could sacrifice a portion of your meter for a boost of speed and the ability to attack your opponents while you were boosting. Collecting rings would let you climb up three tiers of any particular board you were riding, and every time you did so, your air meter would get bigger and your board's stats would go up, so you could do serious damage to opponents by attacking away their rings if you wanted to risk the air cost. The game also had an extremely unique take on drafting where, if someone was going fast enough, they would leave behind a trail/halfpipe of air that would follow them in which other characters could ride inside of and perform tricks on. Super fun shit.
Beyond that, the movement was very fluid and fast, the tricks were enjoyable, and the music/environments were cool.

Zero Gravity dropped the air mechanics, relegated the ability to boost/attack your opponents to RNG item boxes on the track, and replaced the air mechanics for gravity mechanics which sucked balls because, to use the super-speed-boost shit you would stop for like three seconds and drain almost your entire meter to gain a slight advantage or drift around corners in a way that's reminiscent of Kirby Air Ride but absolutely awful instead of fun.
Overall I feel like the game was a lot slower and just wasn't anywhere near as fun. Everything felt way more scripted, and the soundtrack was, while good, not as good as Riders.

Free Riders we don't talk about. The word "Kinect" should be enough to tell you what you need to know. Soundtrack was pretty hot though. At least, I like it.

The owner has basically become an untrustworthy spiteful fuck and has completely ruined the reputation he had in the community.
He also registered switchthem.es and filled it with gay furry porn. Some people think he's going to do the same with 3dsthem.es eventually.
There's just something about being a developer in the 3ds hacking community, man..
Anyhow, there's an archive of all the themes on 3dsthem.es available if that ever happens, and there is also a new themes site up called Theme Plaza.
Unfortunately I can't upload my themes there because the connection just dies, so that sucks I guess.

I'll always try my best to 100%, but if I have to commit to memorizing giant ring locations and bonus stages, then I'll slowly learn and reach 100% through a couple to several playthrough, depending on difficulty.

Sure. I came up with the idea for Shadow originally though, who can wield multiple types of guns and can use chaos control to enter a "bullet time" state that makes it easier to aim precisely.

What I like about that boss is that there's 4 upward ramps and 4 higher platforms on the pathway before the cliff end.

In other words, you can't just stay away from him and wait for "a chance to strike" using your most comfortable method like you see on a few game's first stage bosses. You need to actually get closer and bait out his spiked arm attack.

>What are you gonna eat/drink/play/watch the last few hours before it drops?
Totino's pizza rolls with coke is the correct answer. Also, I don't need a preparation anymore because I already 100%'d the Classic Sonic Trilogy (for 3 I played Complete obviously) including Spinball, Mean Bean Machine on Normal and Hard in preparation for Chemical Plant and also Klonoa, and I swear, that fucking game made me shed tears.

shifting camera can be fine (see: Sonic CD)
but it's really important to actually play around with the parameters to keep it from feeling weird
it tries to be "subtle" here and it's just fucking weird
like, CD's gets to where it needs to go fairly quickly without being too jarring

also, if you've played any handheld Sonic from Advance 2 to Colors DS, every one of those games has camera shift

I heard I won't be getting the special edition until a few days after release. In that case I will pirate.

Is colors ds worth playing? It's the only portable Sonic I never played and I can get it on eBay for like ten bucks
>>
>>386290575
It's Rush 3 with Color powers. It's okay, but I enjoyed Rush 1 and Adventure more
>>
>>386290575
It's probably the most solid out of the Rush games. If you liked those, you'll like Colours DS.

It has the stomp and slide from the 3D boost games too.
>>
>>386290575
It's got some of the best level design of the DS games, with no grinding/exploring bullshit like Rush Adventure, and less dickish level design than the original Rush. Plus it's got a lot of character cameos.

No freely playable Super Sonic, though, and the Eggman PA announcements from the console version are nowhere to be found. Also no playable Blaze.

in oldschool Sonic, you get speed from the terrain and obstacles and it all feels sensible and logical
in Rush, you get speed from the boost button, and the game doesn't really know what to do when you're not holding a direction and/or not moving at boost speed

I still like Rush, but it actually falls apart completely if you slow down for any extended period of time (read: run out of boost, which admittedly shouldn't happen).

This better be good

RLM is easy to rip apart but everyone who wants to do it is a low level autist

I always hated the shifting camera even back in CD (and I love CD by the way). While it's certainly better in the Taxman remakes due to widescreen I don't know why people think your field of vision is an issue in the classics when it's really just on the player needing to react better & know the level design. I'm going to use this rom hack as an example since I know the originals inside & out at this point but I played that Random Level Project rom hack a week or 2 back, I had the camera pan off right away and I didn't know the level designs it could bring in the slightest but I rarely got hit and I didn't since I could react to things properly & Sonic is almost invincible to everything in his ball form whether it be jumping or just rolling, people really need to take advantage of it. The closest thing this could be an issue with are enemies with spikes around them like Orbinauts or Bubbles but even then Bubbles were only in Sonic 3 so you could insta-shield as Sonic. Also if anyone should be complaining about camera issues it should be when you're going up or down as opposed to left or right since once you hop on a spring you're free to any attacks that come your way technically.

I'm still waiting for Sega to change the title of those games via a patch.

God, they need to stop with these horrible nostalgia baits with that North American Genesis Style cover and that rendition of Sonic 1's American Box Art

Just make some proper new old school japanese-style box arts with those crazy colors and everything like the Jap box arts of Sonic 1, 2, 3K, CD

You are in error. Sonic 1 and 2 are not bad games but CD and 3&K are the culmination. CD in aesthetic, music, and physics, 3&K in pure speed and ability-based platforming. It's always been a race between those two and putting any other Sonic game between them is just wrong.
>>
>>386292102
CD has better physics than 3&K?
>>
>>386273776
Advance 1 was the closest to the classics
2 and 3 were the ones that were dogshit
>>
>>386292202
The physics are relatively the same but CD shows them off much better than any other game. The levels of CD are low-key giant physics playgrounds.

It doesn't matter, the fact is that does. You can't dock it points just because it's in a better format, that would be retarded. You're not retarded are you, namefag?

Sonic 2 is the height of the classics, in my opinion, with the most concise and fast level design
3&K's design is too open for my tastes. I actually really like &Knuckles, but Sonic 3's design is unnecessarily complicated and open, leading it to be confusing.
Overall, 3&K is just my least favorite in the quadrilogy, only because of the Sonic 3 part.

There's good reason to shit on adventure and boost though
