Have you played Sonic Classic Heroes? Has Sonic/Tails/Knuckles/Espio/Charmy/Vector in a combined Sonic 1+2.
I can't wait for full character mods with gameplay differences to appear for Mania.

>>390010240
One.

>>390010240
sonic
sonictails
tails
knuckles
amy
shadow

>>390010240
Too many characters just make the level design not enough focus.

>>390009764
>commercial success
it's not though

>>390010763
>Advance and Amy in Sonic 3 work perfectly
>balancing levels around Knuckles automatically balances around the Chaotix
I think the pic is at least still realistically balanced and accounted for in the already existing level design philosophy.

>>390010240
I'd say as many as can have unique playstyles. It's not like Adventure, where you HAD to play through Big's stages to get the rest of the game. You could just use Sonic and never touch the rest.

That said, my dream.

>Mania gets the trilogy treatment, all games lock onto each other.
>Mania 2 adds Amy and Metal, who were cut from the first game, and Nack, who has a hopping momentum based playstyle.
>Mania 3 adds Chaotix with their 32X playstyles.
>With all three locked on, get a game with ten playable characters, 39 stages, and a fuckton of bosses.

>>390010240
This is missing that Espio can walk on walls and ceilings and destroy enemies by running into them.

>>390011340
>who were cut from the first game
This is a massive overstatement

>>390009564
>Can jump higher using his tail, but can only destroy enemies with his feet- doesn't curl up into a ball. A slide replaces the roll, can't spindash.

>Gains momentum bouncing off enemies, gets more horizontal distance from the bounces rather than vertical

>Jump button in the air again launches a popgun pellet

Could it work?

>>390011139
>balancing levels around Knuckles automatically balances around the Chaotix
It isn't though, Mighty can't access high ledges without a wall on the other side, which Knuckles and Espio can.

>>390012031
Welp, sorry Mighty fans. Looks like it's Espio, Vector, and Charmy again.

Or just Vector and Espio. I can take or leave Charmy.

You forgot the most important addition. So that everyone on youtube can actually finish the game.

>>390012216
She's not a classic character, though.

Maybe give Charmy her playstyle? Infinite eight directional offensive dashes are gamebreaking anyway.

>>390012216
But Sonic+Tails and Tails are already there.

The other addition would be the ability to pick up to any combination of 3 characters from among the 7, like in Sonic Classic Heroes

Would people be upset if they added Modern Characters, but with a more classic gameplay style, like Cream had in Advance 2, and given a "classic" looking design?

>>390012216
>People still die to Mega Octus despite having a instant hurt button

>>390012357
She's older than shadow the hedgehog, not by release date, but by design date. And no one complained about the shadow up there.

I'm proposing her as a matter of necessity People are shit at sonic but still complain about Sonic all over the place. Just make a blatant "Skip Level design and Skip Bosses" character, because tails' ability to skip level isn't apparently enough.

>>390012463
No one even realizes that you can control tails as Sonic+Tails.

>>390012216
She needs to break the game like in Advance again.

>>390011991
>pressing "A" in the air propels you downward, Fang bounces back up using his tail upon landing, could be called a Tail Dive
>standing still while holding "Down" and tapping "A" winds up spring bounce off his tail, could be called a Charge Bounce
>spins around horizontally (instead of vertically as the other three do) when he jumps, it's a Tail Swipe attack instead of a Spin Attack
>greater reach than the spin attack (constant Insta-Shield tier), but it can kill enemies from the sides, but not top or bottom
>continues his Tail Swipe attack after bouncing back up from a Tail Dive off an enemy or the ground, only real springs cancel the Tail Swipe
>while holding "Up" and pressing "A" he shoots a single cork out of his popgun over his head. This cancels his Tail swipe attack when in the air, and has him fall as if he has bounced off a real spring

>his play style encourages the player to try to Charge Bounce above enemies and bosses then slam into them with a Tail Dive, but Fang goes faster both vertically and horizontally with every bounce off an enemy, making it hard to abuse
>cork takes a moment to re-use so it can't be spammed more than Sonic's regular jump could be to hurt a boss

>People actually want Sonic Friends added

Really easy to tell the 3Dbabies

>>390010776
Nice evidence.

>>390013952
Seems complicated, but I'd have to play it to see.

I'd definitely be down for some playable villains in the series, especially if they had their own plots.

>Nack can't go super because he doesn't know what the emeralds are for.

>>390014148
I started with Sonic 1 in 1991 and I want all the friends possible to be playable. It's a matter of preference bruh.

>>390014148
Friends have always existed. Although too many new characters is overkill. At best add one or two more characters per game. In Mania 2's case you have options such as Amy, Metal Sonic, Fang and friends and Team Chaotix

File: 1503617246427.png (370KB, 847x906px)

370KB, 847x906px

Two buttons, (not including a super transformation button).

-Let's Sonic do both insta-shield and dropdash.
-Let's knuckles punch and glide. The punch could be used to destroy certain enemies normally not touchable, like the instashield.
-Gives Tails bombs that he can throw like in that game gear game, or drop straight down when he is flying.
-Amy can use her hammer.
-Blaze, perhaps fireballs?
-Cream- Chao attack.

The ranged attacks have ammo that you can only refill by breaking certain monitors so that they cannot be spammed.

Also, don't discount the ideas of other characters being NPCs for in-game cut-scenes and assistance. Imagine if the net game is the hard-boiled heavies coming back and Robotnik has to help Sonic, so this is why Metal Sonic would be playable. In the middle of a level Eggman shows up to help you for a segment, etc.

>>390006768
You guys would hate these characters if they were from Adventures.

>>390014148
I'm a classicfag. I just think that the gameplay could reasonably be diversified while still retaining the fundamentals, to an extent farther than what we've so far been given.

>>390014656
Ah, there's the fundamental difference, Anon.

If you wanted the best ending in Sonic Adventure, you had to suck it up and play as Gamma or Big or whatever.

Sonic 3 and Knuckles, though, you could play anyone you wanted. Tails, nuckles, Sonic, etc, you'd still see almost the full game.

It's more options, not a compulsion.

I want Classic Shadow have Hyper Sonic's teleporting double jump.

Four.

Who the FUCK doesn't play as Sonic? More importantly who the fuck actually plays Tails? Should remove him from the game honestly.

Vector by himself would be bomb. Easily the funnest Chaotix member.

>>390014148
>faling for shity friends meme

Question, is there really anything wrong with clones/sprite swap characters?

I mean, If I had the option of playing as Mighty, and if Mighty played exactly like Sonic, does this inclusion actually hurt the game in any way?

This, Mania is the worst selling Sonic game in nearly a decade. I wouldn't be surprised if Sega feels so ashamed over it that they pull it from stores like they did with 06 and Unleashed. Fucking gaijin nerds shouldn't be trusted with Japanese IPs.

If it was mod or romhack that's cool but it's lazy as fuck for actual devs to put reskin and call it a character.
It's worse if they spam clones and force you to play them all to fill out the lack of contents, which they did in the past.

This character reminds me of the early Brony fandom, back when they created entire characters out of trivial details like a background pony having cross eyes, or another one sitting on a bench funny.

>>390012607
>She's older than shadow the hedgehog, not by release date, but by design date.
Doesn't matter. She's not from the pre-Dreamcast era.
>And no one complained about the shadow up there.
Then allow me to complain. Shadow has no business in a classic styled game.

>>390012463
>Would people be upset if they added Modern Characters, but with a more classic gameplay style, like Cream had in Advance 2, and given a "classic" looking design?
Yes.

>>390017275
I go either way but I really prefer Fang.

>>390017351
From a design perspective, Knuckles and Fang do seem like counterparts to Sonic and Tails, respectively.
As for the characters themselves, Sonic and Tails both had an equal amount of spotlight in Triple Trouble. He could go either way, being another rival for Sonic or a rival for Tails. Probably a rival to both. I like to think he'd be a mionr nuisance for Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Eggman. Someone that stands up to the heroes and the villains just to get what he wants, not for any greater good or master plan. A maniacal goofball asshole could be a nice foil for pretty much any of the other classic Sonic characters.

>>390006768
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Vector, and Fang. That's what I'd go with.

>>390018017

Knuckles gets his own reasons for joining the adventure, and he gets unique content since he has his own stuff going on. Come up with a basic motivation to play as Amy, Vector, and Fang, and what kind of unique content they'd each get.
