We were almost free, you fucking monster.
Sale on Gens 3DS Triple Trouble 3DS, Boom U, and both versions of LW on Nintendo systems.

No escape.

I've overlooked practically every handheld Sonic game ever, how does Ice&Fire and Generations hold up?
Alright guys
What is best ship withSonic
>>143618881
but then where would all the drawfags go?
>>143619486
Generations 3DS is pretty shitty that's only worthwhile for the music.
Fire&Ice hasn't been released yet.
>>143619486
Advance is in most peoples opinions the true successors to the genesis games, Battle is a great fighting game, Rush was the birth of the boost games and still the best boost game, Rush 2 is okay, Colors DS is okay, Generations is meh, LW is meh, Boom SC is okay, Boom F&I isn't out yet but looks like a better SC
>>143619498
Sonic is like ice cream. he goes well with everything.sonamy is my favourite flavour of shipping trash.
I just realized why I like Cassia so much. Both design-wise and personality-wise she's almost exactly like you-know-who.
>>143619537
who the fuck even cares?
>>143619498
I'm a shameless Sonic and Amy shipper.
>>143619498
Speed. The wind. Freedom.
Whoever tries to hook up with Sonic will have to live with the reality that some day he's just gonna go "2pastcool", disappear in a cloud of dust and then they'll never see him again.
well?
>>143620092
Literally what's the point of an HD port? You are all 30 seconds away from downloading an emulator and rom of all the advance games anyway.
>>143620241
>he doesn't want to play advance with hand drawn sprites
>>143619830
>he doesn't like original content
why don't you like fun anon? is that why you shitpost on friday nights? Come over to the light side. We have hugs and good vibes.

Saturday morning over here, perfect time for Sonic. 20 years ago.
>>143620241
I'm normally not in the "screen too small can't see anything" camp, but the GBA screen is fucking tiny and an HD port would fix that.
>>143620574

Boom airs on saturdays too anon.So does ninja turtles, and pokemon. Little has changed in 20 years.
>>143620110
please don't leave your trash in the general
>>143620931
I think its hilarious how CN's most popular shows are stuff they have no control over.
>>143620994
That's basically been their lot since they decided to get a president who had some sort of vendetta against cartoons. Still have no idea how that guy even started working there.
>>143620656
>>143620691

>>143620871
>>143620905
C'mon, you know who it is. They both have the sameeyes
>>143621121
Here's something funny about that shit, that picture floating around of their movie theater filled with like 3 modern day CN shows apparently they asked TPC if they could fill it up with a shit ton of pokemon characters to pad it out but were denied.
>>143621241
Metal Sonic? He's still in the comic.
>>143621241
Oh, I gotcha.
>>143621241
Are you thinking of Shard? Because I'm really not seeing it.
>>143621360
Oh way to ruin the fucking gag, numbnuts. Sorry everybody, pack it up and go home. We're cancelling the joke because of dickless over here.
>>143621241
You said best character anon
>>143621460
Was there supposed to be a joke? Because I actually do not see the resemblance.
>>143621460
It was inevitable.Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
>>143621557
>being this fucking dense to what was happening
Holy fuck, you big idiot.
>>143621345
Best enchilada by a mile.
>>143618805
now if only these were spaced out I would have cropped and used as a profile picture.
>>143621589
Shard sucked.
The canon keeps changing, but what's your favorite theory for Sonic being so fast?
>Born fast
>Trained and became fast
>Chaos emeralds/Power rings
>Chili Dogs
>>143621883
Born fast
>>143621589
I still want Silver & Shard adventures pretty badly.
>>143621883
He's fast because he's fast.
>>143621589
Didn't Shard only live for about a month?
>>143618805
>https://www.sonicstadium.org/2016/05/sonic-runners-shutting-down-next-month/
wish they'd port Runners to a system people gave a fuck about, like the 3DS
>>143619498
I like it when opposites attract.
>>143622271
Time is pretty hard to keep. But yeah, he didn't have a long life, but he had a memeorable one.
>>143621883

>>143623593Hot.
>>143621530
Scourge's best moment is still when he went to prison and dropped his whole 2pastcool facade. Shows that he was only arrogant because he really thought he was THAT good.
>>143623778
aval0nx pls go
>>143623912
>Shows that he was only arrogant because he really thought he was THAT good.
>This is Scourge. He was a prison bitch
>>143621589
He lives on in the Bits, and Gemerl kinda.
It isn't the same, but hey it's something.
>>143623593
Blaze is 14.
>>143623916
I faintly recognize that tag. This is not a good thing.
>>143624019
Are Sonic robots waterproof?
Guys, I thought thought of an evil plan.
What if we give people the Sonic games they want or think they want butuse the boom designs
>>143624669
Beggars can't be choosers. Before Boom actually released people were still somewhat hyped.
>>143624669
Would make me pretty mad.
>>143624392
Feel ashamed!
>>143624828
Just imagine it
A collection of the 2D Sonic games but with Boom sprites
Sonic Adventure DXX, a full hd remake from the ground up of Sonic Adventure but with Boom models and the same for every other GC/Wii Sonic
A port of Unleashed for PC but with Boom models and make it so attempting to mod it out causes your steam account to get vac'd
And last but not least AOST, Underground, Satam, X, and the OVA get Bluray release but have been edited to include boom designs.
Imagine the fire, it would light up the world.
>>143619823
I don't really see much of the same personality, but I do love both Cassia and Shards eyes. Really cool design with thatKnowing the fan base, there's probably some person out there that ships them because of that.
>All that cut content in Sonic 2
>Sonic 3&Knuckles had to be split in half to reach the deadline
>SA tries to make five different storylines, recycling an absurd amount of content for each
>SA2 only makes one style of gameplay out of three actually enjoyable
>Unleashed only makes one style of gameplay out of two actually enjoyable
Sonic Team's biggest problem was always aiming too high. If they kept their standards reasonable, like with Generations maybe the games wouldn't suck so much.
>>143619498
The best person to ship with Sonic isSonic.
>>143625204
y'know, if the next game doesn't have easter egg boom costume swaps I might actually be kinda disappointed.
>>143625224
>Shippers
>Latching on to Nu-Sonic
I fear we're the last fetid component of this fanbase, all the old fans are either institutionalized or left when they killed Tommy Turtle.
>>143625465Modern Sonic will be the costume and it will be called Legacy Sonic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2afjGTbA5gA
This might be the most jammin' tune a Chao could ask for!
>>143622729I expect the same of Cassia
>>143626024
Already done. SSS ranks across the board.
Though I guess playing vidya is all you can do when you're constantly hospitalized.
>>143625530
There's still shippers for the new universe. Razor/Coral, Knuckles/Relic, Silver/Gold, the incest lovers that ship Cassia/Clove. That said, there's no real crossover ships with new characters and old universe ones. I just like to think there's some person out there shipping it just because they have the same eyes.
>>143626024
Eh, I can't see her killed off, not for awhile anyway. Longer than Shard got for sure, since there won't be a lawsuit keeping her away.
>>143626215
>Though I guess playing vidya is all you can do when you're constantly hospitalized.
That and shitpost
>>143626379
True. I see her lasting for at least 2 more years before either she or her sister die. Best case scenario they both livePlease Aleah, don't break my heart
>He thinks mobians have blob feet
THE GAMEZ! WHERE ARE THE GAMES!?
>>143626492
Trying to S-rank Project Unleashed in Generations.
This is completely impossible without copious glitches I think.
>>143626492
To find the games, you must find Sonic Team.
>>143626492
Excited for the new game?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v52bd-2kEw
I still never figured this out.
>>143625364
>Sonic 3&Knuckles had to be split in half to reach the deadline
That did allow SEGA to engage in their other corporate fetish: ridiculous hardware development.
>>143625929
>tfw the best remix is only like 20 seconds long at the end of an 'epic orchestral' remix.
>tfw he never just made a full version in this style.

>>143626457
Fan support might keep 'em alive, but then again, the more popular, the more hearts broken if something happens. I don't really check on how popular characters are really outside of here, but they get a decent amount of art and discussion, I think.My heart is numb from Matilda, Hope, and Shard.
>>143625929
Man, I am really behind on OC Remix. I haven't checked on it for months.
That is one tasty jam though.
I also learned this game has fucking AO for some damn reason
>>143626904
Ask Big Red Button.
>>143619498Boom Sonic and Sticks, Sonic (Modern) with either Rouge, or Fiona, or Nu-Sally. (Amy is too much of a stalker, though the comics makes them look cute together).
>>143627164
Cassia adn Clove are without a doubt the most popular Egg Bosses, even outside of here. Kukku and Thunderbolt are right behind them, but if what you're saying is true, then they could very well be saved from death
>>143627164
>>143627398
Hopefully they will kill off the other bosses and replace them with other, equally unique characters.
>>143627686
Nah, I think all of the Egg Bosses are pretty unique, though Ahklut is honestly my least favorite. Even then he's not that bad. Honestly I find all of the Egg Bosses to be at least interesting, compared to pre-reboot where maybe 2 or 3 Grandmasters were even worth mentioning
>>143627308
I already know what their response will be.
Killing characters off is a cheap way to achieve finality.
>>143627864
If you do it randomly then it is, but if you build up to it and give it the proper respect it deserves then it can be effective.
>>143627398
Fan response changed their minds from killing Ant, IIRC.
Keep supporting them, and they'll probably keep them alive and in more stories.
Then again, this is all assuming they even planned on killing them off in the first place. We don't know their plans.
>>143623593F L A T
This area is the only area in this game that I actually hate because of how fucking terrible it looks considering how close it is to the original demo level asset wise.

>Shard never told Nicole his feelings or Chuck's admiration
>Hope's last scene was crying in Omega's arms about never having a family
>Scourge never got to show off his big plans
>Larry gets friends and the universe endsI like to think they're all stuck in a void/limbo somewhere, maybe like the white space from Generations.
>>143627838
How will Big Red Button recover from Sonic Boom? Are they still doing anything?
what does /sthg/ think of lammy?
>>143628996
They claim they are, they need to ditch cry engine whatever they do next
>Chris Senn made Sonic Boom: Rise of a character never introduced until now
Well that explains a lot.
>>143629294
Who?
>>143629294
Wasn't he on level design?
>>143629437

>>143628852
we really need an old continuity big wrap party.
it would be cool to see all the guys who we'll never see again for one last time. Before the current cast wave them off, leave them behind, never to been seen again.then as they all get left behind and the sad music plays.. they walk off set, punch their cards and drive to their homes. They all meet up for the conventions and the reunions, but for now, they've been retired from the show. And some of them needed the break, the money was good but now they can spend time with their offscreen families.
>>143629687
No, who's the character?
>>143628852
Is their fate worse than death?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoOy4_F2a44
>>143629812
Depends if they are together in the void or not.
Larry and Shard could hang with the wolf twins, so it might not be all bad. Or all the dead good guys can fight all the dead bad guys for control of the void.
>>143629784scourge and shard actually room together, part of the hedgehog acting troupe who produce the notable hegehogs that make it into the franchise. mighty and ray are actually neighbours, but ray is a good decade older than mighty and has kids, while mighty is a skirt chaser that is totally unlike his character in the series.Lien da campaigns to get more echidna visibility in the media, citing her sacking as a race thing.
Beauregard still visits the set to cheer on Bunnie, his actual niece, who got him a bit part on her show.
>>143630017

All the dicks.
>>143629784
Didn't someone leak all the plotlines that will never happen due to the super genesis wave somewhere?
>>143630283
It's so odd that Rise of Lyric has a lot of characters that didn't transfer over and in some cases off limits for the other branches of the series.
>>143630524

ye. Totally proved the fuck out of my prediction that Antoine was meant to die like the little bitch he was.
>>143630587
Most served no purpose in the game or live outside of the island in boom.
Cliff doesn't live near the island and the squidbillies live in the dam.

He eats veggies or some shit, refuses to respond after his sidequest. no ice cream.

I see Knuckles is doing his best fighting gravity which clearly doesn't function the way it's meant to.
>>143630103
The idea that the whole series is just a show and the characters lead normal different lives outside of the story is kinda cool.
>>143630103
>Lien da campaigns to get more echidna visibility in the media, citing her sacking as a race thing.

Are there any dumb bimbos in Sonic now?
>>143625364
I would argue that, had they aimed lower, we might well have only received the undesirable bits of those games.
sthg thoughts on this?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i7kY3M87VfE
>>143631339
I'd disagree, but that would explain why the best game Sonic 2 had a bunch of cut content.
Someone played Genocide City and was like "no offense but executing all these innocent civilians kind of clashes with the rest of the game" and they removed it.
>>143625364
Game length is probably a big struggle. A complaint about Generations was how short it was.
This guy has animation files of him preparing foot but they don't play, you can still hear the sound effects of him sharpening knives and adding shit to the pot.
>>143631446
>Egoshitter

I'm sure it makes Egoraptor think he's relevant and definitely not an objective failure in the eyes of his friends (who are all leaving him) and family (who he apparently despises).
>>143631610
>>143631690
I hate Ego before it was cool, back on Newgrounds. Glad to see everyone joining my camp even if they were a bitslow
>>143631446
Good for the bee line, but that's about it. Really ruined his rep on Game Grumps.
>>143631832
I hated Egoraptor back when he was a "custom spriter" on Zephiroth X's forum, so you're even slower than me.

It'd be impossible to give Sonic a shot, he'd just keep losing his rings.
The biplane is fucking huge, and I guess its not even Tails' plane they say its Cliff's
>>143632272
Well he doesn't exactly die when he loses his rings, he just sort of lies down and takes a nap.

>>143632397
That was a pre-order bonus, right?
>>143632849
No, he was a douchey insecure band manager who tried to look like he was better than everyone else
Also Fiona is Scourge's girlfriend who's probably banged every player on the team.
>>143632780
That depends: do we want to make every preboot character a villainous entity? Could be amusing to try and think of how Hope and Elias end up as antagonistic factors.
>>143632603
Larry can be the lovable loser with Shard as his "cool" friend,but Shard is also a loser.
>>143631538
He should've made it to the cartoon. I remember people throwing around the idea of a cooking battle between him and Amy.
>>143633050
>That depends: do we want to make every preboot character a villainous entity?
Wasn't planning on it, but it could be fun. Elias is the spoiled rich kid who's only there because his parents are fucking loaded.
Hope is the child prodigy who graduated high school really early and does well academically but also spends her time getting absolutely shit faced

>>143636045Just wanted a cute picture of Sonic hugging Bump, is that too much to ask? Then that anon brings up rape instead.
>>143638462But rape is kinda like hugging, except unwanted and with 100% more penetration.
>>143638462

>Knuckles and Amy will never meet their Classic counterparts in Generations 2
>>143638995
Eggman is THE smartest person on the planet, I find it odd how it took until now for him to attain an underling who's in any way competent.
Shit, the heroes are so competent he even needed to robotize Sally to get anything done.
I WON'T GET FAR, I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME. I THINK I JUST REACHED THE END OF THE LINE.
>>143635558
Anon, if you're gonna be a dick, at least be a constructive one.
>>143640892
I hope Blaze gets a new Universe arc after Shattered is finished.
>>143640924
Really don't see the appeal of this character. Isn't being stoic and boring what we used to berate Shadow for?
>>143641227
Every character can't be all sunshine and quips, anon.
>>143641227
They both just need other people to bounce off of.
>>143638454
This is your friendly reminder that Thunderbolt is cute, but also powerful and intimidating.
>>143639325
He finds the concept of competence not stemming from his own genius to be unpalatable.
>>143641227
Eh. In practice, Blaze is more comparable to Knuckles than to Shadow. She's the devout and sole custodian of a great mystical power, but her intensity is constantly undercut by her lack of social grace. Shadow hasn't really been able to sell the conviction angle since Sonic Heroes butchered his backstory, and his personality is written such that he's introverted, superior, and often somewhat morose. Not much to undercut there.
>>143642913
She looks sort of weak. I mean, she pretty much killed the shit out of the freedom fighters during both encounters but wasn't that Eggman's plan?

Funny way to spell Sonic '06.

Almost 1 PM. Though I get up at 4AM so I can spend quality time in my favorite general.
I wish Sonic still had his double jump from Colors in Generations.
>>143644796
That Generations mod made me realize that even if you disregard the glitches, load times and fucked physics, '06 is still a terrible game with absolutely horrendous level design. Or maybe I'm just too used to boost2win.

Yeah, this place is WAY worse than dA.

Anon, don't let >>143635558 get to you. While there are some genuine critics in the thread as you saw earlier, there's a faggot that's trying to bait by talking shit about and reporting every piece of OC. So far they've gone after you, Toby, that drawfag that always draws on a yellow background (Sketch I think?), Saltcore, and ABT.
>>143647781
Can you filter by IP? He doesn't post with a name, and even then I'm on mobile most of the time.
>>143646275
That's just what Tails aspires to be. But he can't because he's just a 6-year old fox while Eggman's a fucking human.
>>143647989
>So far they've gone after you, Toby, that drawfag that always draws on a yellow background (Sketch I think?), Saltcore, and ABT.
But not Hotred, Coolblue or Sonicdash. That is suspicious.
>>143619498Muttski
>>143649015
Tails is 8. He wouldn't have an attack named "IQ400 Attack" if he wasn't that smart, since he's not one to boast or exaggerate.
>>143634680
l-lewd
>>143649781
Attack names don't mean anything. Tails' IQ has never been discussed once in the game or supplementary material.
As far as I'm concerned, it's hearsay
>>143649015
He's 8
>>143649781
>since he's not one to boast
LW
:^)
>>143649656
I don't know why, but every time I see this image, I think it looks like it was made by Chris Chan.
I just had a thought. Sonic can (apparently) run at the speed of light. However as we may know at that speed reality around him would distort. As such could the special stages, with their nonsensical surroundings, be him running at light speed?
Or to take it further, maybe we could have a game where the levels are this trippy world of fast moving shapes and colours. 'Sonic Lightspeed' or something.
>>143649781
>>143650312
There is no certain recent confirmation, but older manuals say that they are comparable in intelligence.
Of course IQ doesn't mean everything, Tails would need to actually seek to learn highly advanced robotics. I think he is happy just doing smaller gadgets.
>>143650713
>I think he is happy just doing smaller gadgets.
Happy fox!
Hows your game project going, /sthg/?
>>143650713
Here's two older manuals, but they actually talk about mechanical skill. I remember that there was another one who said something about intelligence, but I didn't find it.

Thoughts on the Sonic OVA
I just got to the ice level in Sonic Lost World.
Why are the levels in this game so fucking bad?
>>143658969
Because Iizuka thinks gimmicks are more important than good gameplay.
>>143659039
He really is trying to copy Miyamoto
>>143653256
>I get the feeling everyone's cooking is pretty terrible. All they do is fight and eat junk food.
Actually Antoine and Bunnie have been confirmed for being amazing cooks. If anyone wants I can post that thing from Bumbleking where Ian lists what everyone cooks
>>143659267
That'd be fun to see.
>>143660007
Here it is
Tails - I’d imagine he’s into that gastronomy cooking, but when it goes wrong he’s good with a PB&J. Officially, he loves mint candy.
Rotor is a meat-and-potatoes type of guy, heavy on the fish. He he’s fuelled by coffee. Forget “Boomer,” his nickname ought to be “Java.”
Antoine is all about fine cuisine. I’m sure he makes a fantastic crepe, and woe be unto you if you mess it up.
Bunnie is definitely more of a comfort food type, but she makes good comfort food. I can see her enjoying a bowl of chili with some homemade biscuits.
(side note: Antoine and Bunnie have an unspoken rule in their marriage: they stay out of each other’s way in the kitchen. There’s too much passion and pride to their cooking)
Amy is all about the sweets. Not that she’s into junk food – a treat here and there is fine. But if it’s pancakes, they’re gonna be drenched in syrup. And ice cream – she loves ice cream.
Cream is a grazer. She loves lots of little healthy snacks all the time. That said, she shares Amy’s love for ice cream. And she certainly doesn’t mind helping her mother with all the baked goods she’s always preparing.
Sally usually sticks to a salad with nuts. It’s about the only thing she can prepare that’s edible.
And Big obviously enjoys fish.AS WELL AS YOUR MORTAL SOUL

I can't imagine trying to port Adventure-era level design into a boost game would end well. Mostly because boost Sonic is almost incapable of moving slowly.

>>143635091
You should start working on your underlying figures and composition. A cover is a pinup shot, you want it to be on-model, dynamic and stylish. You won't accomplish a strong cover as-is because
A) You didn't put enough thought into the composition from the outset. Your focal point, Bunnie, is too large give the group shot you're trying to establish. Characters are placed wherever you can fit them, making positioning awkward. You're trying to convey Bunnie is the focus because Sonic's a robot that she's fighting, but there's not even a HINT of the advertised Mecha-Sonic, not even a shadowy arm or foot. This is a huge missed opportunity for mystery and tension, and it makes the premise of the issue less immediate and clear.
And
B) The characters are drawn as if this was a hastily scrawled, transitional-action panel instead of an establishing shot. If everyone is this amorphous and lacking in detail on the big cover page, how much LESS detailed will they be in tiny, interior panels?

>>143665679
Critisism is good but you're likely looking too hard into something that was done fairly quickly and/or is clearly unfinished. I don't know where the expectation that every piece of artwork posted here has to have deep composition/anatomy comes from.

>Never would've guessed. What's so special about this one?
Last panel shows Thunderbolt sitting the inside of the mech, every surface covered by large posters of Eggman
>>143668126
It's because most of us aren't drawfags but wonky anatomy is really easy to notice and point and in critique.
I'm more annoyed when we get people who expect every single picture put out by someone to show massive and dramatic improvement.
>>143673047
Wasn't the name "Ixis" Pendered?
>>143675950
No. The name actually showed up in some design documents for SaTAM, so that saved it
>>143668126
...no?
These are things that can be done better in a ten minute sketch. They're fundamental issues, not fine details.
See, comic artists do these things called "thumbnails". They quickly sketch the basic figures to get a sense for their composition and to get things generally on model before they actually draw it. Anon would do well to bother with a rough sketch or two before drawing so they don't make these kinds of mistakes.
>>143666482
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4j22sCGBpcA
>>143676012
Then how come he's Wally Naugus now? To help him fit better with Wendy, or just some re-arranging of names so that Penders can't bring down the hammer again?
>>143676706
Probably the former. Or if you wanna have fun with the idea, his real name was always Wally, but he calls himself Ixis because it makes him sound menacing
>>143676502
>>143676706
Ixis was a thing in the SatAM Bible.
Naugus being "Ixis Naugus" was not.
It's like how the multiverse exists, but they can't have it connected via a highway.
>>143676706
Ixis was a title in the old continuity, not Naugus' name, Mammoth Mogul used to go by Ixis Mogul. Ixis is apparently a god in the new continuity, so that's cool.

Ohtani was lead composer on Unleashed.
>>143681805
I mean recently. Unleashed was in 2008, remember?
>>143681767
I remember someone doing a project like this. God knows if it's still going or not:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuSVbs-t78U
>>143682000
But I was just saying it would be fun to have a bad version of the results music for when you fail, like in Unleashed, which Tomoya Ohtani composed.
Generations is fantastic. I never thought I'd play another sonic game that was genuinely top shelf stuff. Is lost world for wii u any good? I have it on 3ds but the game slowly turns from great to bad somewhere in the middle.
>>143685320
Wii U version goes from okay to meh to suddenly a lot harder but still meh. Overall better than 3DS version, but not mind blowing in any way. It's just kind of there.
>>143685320
Colors for the Wii is an excellent came too.
>>143685507
Lost World was such a throwaway.
>>143685701
Game, goddamn phone.
>>143685320
Lost World is OK. Honestly, the first thing you should do when you get the game is learn the controls. The game doesn't teach you shit, so you need to learn how to do parkour and spindashing on your own. Oh, and don't forget to download the DLC, it's genuinely great. But as for the rest of the game, it's pretty bland and forgettable.
>>143685320
It aint bad. In this series that's all I want.
>>143685320
Lost World is definitely a step down.
That said, you'd probably would get a lot more enjoyment from the WiiU version than the 3DS version.

Hello /sthg
How is everyone
>>143689990
Amy, please.
>>143690150
>>143647989
Well I'm fine with being shit on if I'm such fine company as the anons listed.Well I guess they're not really anon but you get the idea.Honestly I don't mind people telling me I'm shit so long as they tell me why!
>>143665679
You saw right through me! I didn't do any composition planning at all. I literally sketched a random bunnie pose and liked it so much I put a box around it and then fudged it into a cover. I did try and work a metal sonic shadow over the group but due to the aforementioned lack of planning it didn't look right at all. The only hint is the mecha sonic face reflected in bunnies eyes and that is way too subtle. (I was kinda happy with the city enveloping the trees as a sort of machines engulfing nature motif, as thrown together as it was) This has me in the mood to do some actual cover designs though and play with the concept (bunnie with an arm raised blocking an attack, mecha reflected in the metal, or bunnie's face reflected in mecha's head) but thanks for the response, I can see why people would get mad at me posting an obviously thoughtless slapdash composition, I just got overexcited because it was my first thing that looked vaguely like a cover.
>>143668126
Well >>143665679 and >>143676239 are right though anon, if I'm hoping to improve I should be putting more planning into my work, especially before throwing it to the public. You guys are the only place I really show my stuff though so if I want a second pair of eyes I tend to rely on /sthg/ and hope someone sees what I don't, or at least confirm what I can't pin down. I don't really have a crew I can bounce my stuff around to get some feedback. As >>143676239 mentioned though, if I'd planned out that I was doing a cover and then did thumbs for cover ideas, the final result would have been a lot stronger. Mine lacks focus and it shows (especially so now that I've had time to sleep and look at it fresh).
>>143690848
>>143675760
I'm always up for having my wonky anatomy pointed out though, it's a bit of a blind spot for me but I'm working on it.
Seriously though, if posting half finished stuff is frowned upon by you guys I'll refrain from posting WIPs. It just seems more efficient to get a heads up mid way through that I've missed something obvious as opposed to finishing it and THEN realising I've given someone backwards hands or a tiny head, but this isn't a drawfag general so I can stop.
>>143691001
>but this isn't a drawfag general so I can stop.
At this point, with next to nothing to talk about, we'll take anything we can get.
Ignore that faggot, post whatever at will.
>>143691154
Which faggot are we ignoring, because I'm this faggot >>143675760 and I'm fine with drawfags posting more often. It's when critics don't understand that improving skills takes time and they expect every single picture a drawfag makes to be drastically better than the last. Same guys who hate when artists actually develop a style because then they get "lazy and stale."
But if we're talking about this faggot >>143637724 then yeah, fuck 'em.
>>143689243

>>143691781

Everyone knows the real anniversary game is Sonic Runners 2: Boom.
>>143698396
I'm sorry anon, but it's true. There was gonna be an anniversary event and everything, but they cancelled it. Enjoy Fire and Ice
>>143698029
Is Sonic Battle any good?
>>143697870
>out-of-character
Technically, Amy is confirmed to practice boxercise in Sonic Battle's story mode. In that same game, her three-hit combo uses punches delivered via boxing gloves.
I mean, it's about as canon as Sonic being a breakdancer, Tails having an I.Q. of 400, Rouge owning a nightclub, or E-100 units being able to manifest energy weapons from thin air. But it's not internet fetishism, at least not entirely.
>>143693936
Shake.
>>143698029
>>143698643
Huh, the more you know. Doesn't matter though, the comics aren't going to last another year with Ian writing them the way he has.
>>143698526
There was an anniversary event for the 24th anniversary, and if the game lasted to this November they probably would've just rerun the same stage in Timed Mode like they've been doing constantly with past events for the past few months now that they're out of fresh ideas.
They're announcing a game at either E3 or the event in July. Keeping quiet doesn't mean they have nothing to show.
>>143698832

>>143698862
I guess so. Can't wait for the Runners 2 announcement in July
>>143698839
The comics were dying with Ian writing Penders-esque stories with Penders characters. The lawsuit, while retarded, was the best thing to happen to the comic.
>>143699158
Runners was a commercial failure. They're not going to make a second one. They only made Dash 2 because Dash did extremely well because it was a Temple Run clone.
Enough with this retarded meme.
>>143619823
I have no idea who this is.
So does Runners being canceled mean we'll get a cracked version that just has all the characters, costumes, buddies, events, etc unlocked from the start? I enjoyed the game, liked playing it from time to time. But I didn't feel like playing it enough to unlock all the shit.

>>143702014
Well, we wouldn't have this problem if people didn't start using the term "original character" to refer to fan characters, but it's the way things are and I'm sure you were aware of that.
>>143702191
Red is still the canon character, though. Every other name is not canon.

Sick. You probably plays games to have fun, you monster.
>>143702440
A character can be entertaining but still lack character depth, and lack of character depth makes them a bad character. They're just a fun bad character. They're fun in the same way comedians or clowns are.
>>143702669
>A character can be entertaining but still lack character depth, and lack of character depth makes them a bad character.
Thankfully Cassia and Clove don't have that problem
>>143702669
You're taking a very specific metric for a character and over-emphasising it. Any character can have a wikipedia page and still be bad, just look at Sonichu.
>>143702743
>those characters
>deep
"Muh #EggmanArmyProblems" isn't depth
You might as well say Orbot and Cubot are deep characters because they're mistreated by Eggman
>>143702921
The Sonichu series was a bad power fantasy story in general. Of course bad stories make bad characters. That doesn't make my point any less significant.
>>143702967
See >>143702921
And even if they aren't the deepest characters, the stories they've been in are still good, and they've still got a bit to them, and keep in mind this is only the beginning of their character arc
Man, /sthg/ sure got mean in a hurry.
>>143702967
They're about as deep as a sonic character should get. Or do you want them to start revealing a bunch of secret relatives all part of secret organizations for everyone again?
>>143703232
Fair point.
>>143703153
No, your point is fucking stupid because it's an entirely subjective metric to use to describe character worth. Which in itself is wholly subjective.
Faggot
>>143703226
We basically cycle through good discussion, generic shitposting, periods of sad slow, advanced shitposting, and general bitterness. With the occasional storytime.
The lack of /ss/ in the fandom is disturbing
>>143703181
Captain America said "Hail Hydra" in the very first issue of a series, that doesn't make the concept behind why he's evil now any less stupid. (No, I'm not part of the outrage culture surrounding that, I think the cliche of a good character appearing bad and then the reveal that they're being controlled is overdone and ridiculous.)
>>143703869
Good thing Cassia and Clove had a great first appearence then. My point was that they had a strong start, and even if they aren't that deep now, they'll probably get even more to them as their character arc progresses.
>>143703869
Marvel has gone out of their way to say he's not being controlled.
>>143703569
So you can't say they're good characters either.
Nice argument, dumbass.
>>143704014
Then maybe he's playing double agent, who gives a shit? Whether or not he really is evil is moot, the story is still bad.
>>143704018
Okay, let me just put it into terms you might understand.
Let's say that the best measure of a vehicle is how fast it goes, therefore a Ferrari is better than a M60 Patton.
Well, good fucking luck using a Ferrari in a warzone.
Different elements make good characters for the stories in which they are written and the purposes they're intended for.
>judging things based on their concept rather than their execution
>>143704225
That's not what "subjective" means though.
>>143696251
Elaborate, please.
>>143704352
>judging things
>not just calling them complete shit from the get go without even trying them
Pleb
>>143703835
Agreed. Fortunately, Bigdad delivers
>>143704734
>Boom Tails with Rouge who doesn't exist in Boom
>>143704374
I know, that's because those are quantative elements, which is different from something qualitative like 'character depth'.
And don't say 'well you can't say they're good characters'. That's like saying 'You can't disprove invisible flying ice creams *don't* exist, therefore they must exist'.
>>143704734
Where's his gallery?
>>143705150
Don't bother, his art is shit.
>>143704901
You said in this post >>143703569 that they were subjective metrics. So are they or are they not subjective?
>And don't say 'well you can't say they're good characters'. That's like saying 'You can't disprove invisible flying ice creams *don't* exist, therefore they must exist'.
I never said "You can't prove they're good characters THEREFORE THEY'RE BAD". I said, with the "It's all subjective" argument you had, you couldn't argue they were good characters either, so stop insisting that I can't say they're bad.
>>143705150
>babby anon can't into google
>>143705423
Because even if they weren't subjective it's still a stupid argument. As pointed out here >>143704225
Sonic Fandom: 90% porn 10% nostalgia
>>143704225
>the purposes they're intended for.
Just what are the purposes they're intended for, have the writers confirmed just what those are? It's kind of hard to judge how well something is used if you don't know what the thing's purpose is. For example an M60 Patton would probably be pretty shitty in a drag race.
>>143706025
Not the anon you're arguing with, but it's pretty obvious that their purpose is to be anti-villains
>>143705968

>>143707150
sonic is kill
>>143701501
Sonic's an optimist, he likes being a dick to people, and tends to define himself by both the company he keeps and the enemies he makes. He's not sure about himself, and keeps running to find that missing part of him.
>>143707150
Sonic should never be depicted lying down flat with his face up. It will never work. His spikes don't just shift to the side like that.
>>143707615
Yay!
>>143707830
>He's not sure about himself,
I'd say that out of any Sonic character, Sonic himself is the most sure of himself. There's a reason he's so damn cocky
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjWdhGRGL5E
>>143698839
You're a retard, Ian's great. The only threat to Archie Sonic is the company Archie itself and its poor business practices.
>>143707995
See, I don't know. there's two reasons you're cocky. Either you're sure of yourself, or your hiding your insecurities and want people to THINK you're sure of yourself.
>>143707995
Yeah, we should make Sonic more vulnerable. Give him a backpack, or something.
>>143708124
It's pretty clear Sonic is full of himself.
>>143703358
So what are their master weapons?
I'm thinking Acorn Saber and Rabbot Cannon
>>143708124
>Either you're sure of yourself, or your hiding your insecurities and want people to THINK you're sure of yourself.
Sonic fits firmly in the former. Honestly, Scourge is a better fit for the latter. I mean, fuck's sake the moment someone (Jules) called him out for being the bitch he is, he ran away like a bitch
>>143708124
Sonic can outrun his enemies, but he can't outrun himself.
>>143708273
Speaking of Jules...
>>143708186
What is this backpack meme
>>143708735
Some idiot made a video claiming he truly understood Sonic yet his idea was to make Sonic vulnerable and wear a backpack and turn his games into shitty indie puzzle platformers.
>>143709231

He is. His weeaboo drawings look stiff and like a cheap Alex Ahad ripoff and his Sonics like bland over-off-model shit.
His bat literally is just Rouge's mother redrawn with a new outfit and called Rouge. Even if her mom wasn't a OC already, his design still wouldn't feel like the character it is supposed to be.

>>143710979
Thanks, eggfam!
>>143710987
>Rouge's mother
?
>>143712215
A OC.
>>143712346
I'd like to see the design, mainly just to see if that or the Rouge he draws is worse.
>>143710030
Because for being something as conceptually lame as "Sonic's dad", he ended up having some surprisingly awesome moments, including telling Naugus to "Conjure yourself an exit". He put with nobody's shit. He fought in the Great War and he ain't having your bullshit
Sure is a lot of shitposting and baiting lately.

From what I remember it's by Sdash. I don't think Bigdad was even a thing back in 2009. That guy came out of nowhere when Skullgirls was still hype.

>>143716196
>Maybe, but I still feel he's just used a big word without really grasping what it actually means
Judging by what he says for the rest of the video, this is exactly the case. He's a pretentious indie twat who thinks he knows how to "Save Sonic" while also completely misunderstanding why people like Sonic in the first place
>>143714802
I'm really getting Aaron Diaz vibes from that guy, minus the mega ego. It's just indie-dev ego.

Looking back, Sonic Unleashed was a really really really awful game with padding the likes of which I've never seen anywhere else. But going by daytime stages alone it's still arguably the best 3D Sonic and no doubt the first to recapture the genesis days with its great music, fast speed, fun level design and light-hearted story.
>>143723496
Considering every location in Unleashed (except Eggmanland) is based on a real-world location, I'd say that's cheating.

Fuck man why are you arguing so vehemently about a comic you never read? They're not being controlled, no matter how you look at it Eggman saved Cassia's life to the best of his extent.
The brilliant tragedy of the Pronghorns is that hope kept them going through a rough part of their lives, but it turned out to all have been a delusion. Like someone gets cancer, makes a miraculous recovery and BAM it comes back again. Clove will still be forced to helplessly watch Cassia waste away like an alzhimer's-ridden uncle while constantly lying to her and pretending everything's going to be alright.
And no spandex-wearing watcher is going to fix that, 90% of the cast has already been wiped out in this comic so why not one more?
>>143725347
What?

>They're not being controlled, no matter how you look at it Eggman saved Cassia's life to the best of his extent.

>>143726035

>>143728285
>I was thinking more along the lines of "Eggman finds a desperate and hungry Clove holding a near-dead Cassia and sees an oppourtunity"
The issue is that I doubt Eggman would just be passing by and not taking over everything in sight. Since Clove appears to be some manner of leader and she still hates Eggman's guts they would have to have been at odds with each other.
>>143728314
I know it's not Miller but I really don't want to see that broken-ass cocksucker the Flash completely humiliate Sonic.
All things considered the Mobius universe is fairly grounded, any cape worth his salt would completely dominate.
>>143728610

But that's the best kind of retarded
>>143728631
>Since Clove appears to be some manner of leader and she still hates Eggman's guts they would have to have been at odds with each other.
Perhaps he's taking over and he comes across a desperate Clove and decides to take advantage. Maybe a mixture of both ideas

Same price as it is on Amazon. It's a newer Sonic plush.

I remember reading an interview with Humberto Ramos yeaaars ago and he basically said something along the lines of the fact that there's something wrong with the fact that his kids can walk into a store and buy spiderman comics and there has been no character development since when he was buying them as a kid. That they have to keep erasing all the development and forcing the big characters to run on pointless treadmills in order to sustain them because the character is more important than the idea. (It really shouldn't matter if spiderman is ben reilly or kaine or miles or whoever SPIDERMAN should be enduring, not peter being a perpetually regressed teenager). And that the most important part of a story, was the end, because that imparted the lesson, the POINT of telling the story. And cape comics by definition lack that. They have no end, no purpose they're just space filler. It always stuck with me because now Ramos is actually drawing spidey full time for marvel, presumably because it pays really well.
I like the tenet of follow the writer not the character, but seriously cape books are getting shorter and shorter attention spans. I know they're only IP fodder for the movies now anyway, the IPs are worth more now as movie/tie in licensing than the comic equivalents ever have been.
Archie kinda has the same issue, except sega can only force them to stagnate the game cast, which is why some of us really take to the comic cast, because they're allowed to go through stories and actually be changed by their experiences.
I mean sonic will always be a smarmy fast blue asshole and that's fantastic, but sometimes it'd be nice if he had a history that defined him and events that shaped him.
But that being said, it is just another story that'll never have an ending. I would love for some 'what if' stories about the end of sonic though. How do you guys think that would go down? How would you guys end Sonic?
>>143728768
That or Sonic would tap into Speed Force and be WW-tier or some gay shit.
>>143728769
No, that was the most annoying kind of retarded. Only redeeming thing about that series was the meme before Miller ran it into the ground himself, Hal getting dicked by Dick, and the art.
>>143728791
>How would you guys end Sonic?
With a stick, while he slept.
>>143728791
>But that being said, it is just another story that'll never have an ending. I would love for some 'what if' stories about the end of sonic though. How do you guys think that would go down? How would you guys end Sonic?
Funny you mention that. I remember Ian talking about something like this on the Bumblekast, and there was actually going to be a definitive end to the pre-reboot continuity, which would be followed by the reboot. That would've been really nice, but you know, Penders had to be an ass
>Archie kinda has the same issue, except sega can only force them to stagnate the game cast, which is why some of us really take to the comic cast, because they're allowed to go through stories and actually be changed by their experiences.

I agree with most of this, though I do think that giving him a definitive backstory would kind of take away some of the charm.
>>143728791
The other side of the coin is Manga which almost always has a definitive ending, which pisses me off because all my favorites ended prematurely while on top of their game.
Consider if the Sonic comic had ended in issue 160, imagine all the cool shit we'd have missed.
>>143728083
that's because they brought back christopher priest who wrote one of the best if not the best deadpool run of the 90s. He's the guy who did quantum and woody which is also great.

As if Sonic needs to be even more OP
>>143729239
I thought Kelly was the go-to guy for Deadpool?
Sadly even after all this time, I still consider comicbooks supplementary material. I can't justify reading a comic just for the comic, and if Sonic had no games I wouldn't be here.

>>143729446
>But can Flash beat Titan Sonic?

>>143729421
True. But giving him Speed Force would make him outright broken, both in his own universe and possibly the DCU. Then again considering the power scale of the DCU, he'd probably be mid tier even with it
>>143728780

>>143729362
>>143729390
>You mean Joe Kelly?
Fuck I ALWAYS confuse those two. Priest is like the second best guy. Priest saved the book from cancellation when Kelly bailed and is a big part of why it went on to gather so much steam and become the juggernaut it is now.he did the silent issue and the wade's dad is actually loki, Thorpool, wade getting cursed with an indestructable face of tom cruise so he still can't take his mask off or die and some other stuff.
>>143685320
Lost World is an okay Mario game and a God-awful Sonic game. If you're looking for a general good time it's perfectly serviceable, but if you're looking for a genuine Sonic experience, there's none to be found there.
Stick to modded Generations just like I've been doing for 5 years.

Charmy is getting one, I believe. Metal Sonic is too.
Since there's Super Sonic and Super Shadow, maybe a Super Silver?
Chaos has a plush, but I don't think Tikal does. I don't think Vanilla has one.
Eggman: It's too late for shenanigans! Now, without your precious hedgehog hero to stop me, I can finally fulfill my lifelong evil dream!
[Eggman holds up both his arms, and thunder booms and lightning flashes in the distance.]
Eggman: Building my own theme park!
[Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks all stare blankly at Eggman.]
Amy: That doesn't sound very evil.
Knuckles: It might even create some new jobs.
>>143729717
Not him but I honestly cant stand Generations modded or not.
Its the only Boost Sonic game I just don't ever want to play.

How the fuck do I S-rank Project Unleashed? What skills should I be using?
>>143729886
Are you playing with, or without the S-Ranks Unleashed patch?
It's a patch that makes completion times and score bonuses much more balanced.
See, Ranks in Unleashed work completely differently from how they work in Generations, so it's unfairly difficult to S-Rank The Unleashed Project. The patch makes it more reasonable to accomplish.
>>143729008
>I agree with most of this, though I do think that giving him a definitive backstory would kind of take away some of the charm.
well his backstory doesn't need much more than 'born and raised in christmas island, saw a fat guy toxicing up his lakes and thought 'aw hell naw' which I guess he kinda has. But I do love seeing the old games as actual shit he went through in the comics. It adds age to him and depth knowing he's done this hero shit for a while. I can't stand it when heroes are just heroic for no reason and are great right off the bat. At least we see that he's experienced which is good enough.
>>143729191
Honestly, I'd take ending prematurely while at the top of your game to lasting a thousand years and never going anywhere. "Always leave them wanting more" and all that. There's no reason you can't end Sonic and start a new iteration. Even use some of the same characters, but instead of trying to tie it all together, tie it off.
As much as I'd hate to see it end that way, Sonic destroying Mecha-Sally and maturing into a tactical leader in her stead and finally beating robotnik and actually freeing the world for good while the FF recover their lives would be interesting to see, especially if you kill 'twan and keep rotor crippled.
On the flip side, run it like Gurren Lagann and kill Sonic and have Tails be the FF's secret weapon and years later the new kids fight a new threat as Tails recalls the lessons taught to him by the guy the new city is named after kinda thing.
These could all be simple told stories. It doesn't have to be 'oooh I'm forgetting that other treadmill for this new one!...' like the postboot has been. Like I said, a few what if's could have been cool (y'know like M25YL or whatever they were called but done well)
>>143729821
Metal needs a die cast figure, not a plush. I want a shiny metal sonic made from real metal goddamnit. If sega don't make one I'm taking up metalwork.
>>143730194
>t doesn't have to be 'oooh I'm forgetting that other treadmill for this new one!...' like the postboot has been.
What do you mean by that
>>143730130
So that explains it, seems unreasonable to get an A rank for beating Windmill in 2:12
Gameplay-wise, was there a difference between the spindash and the super-peel-out?
>>143730291
>Metal needs a die cast figure
That'd be pretty cool.
Still, I want a Metal Sonic plush.I want to hug the best Sonic.
>>143730425
>What do you mean by that
they've stated in character that they basically don't care that they can't remember the preboot. I know they'll dip into it when it's relevant for a story they want to tell, but having even the characters basically go 'meh' a few issues after everyone was crying about their tragic nearly ending seems a touch disingenuous.
I know they basically want to wipe the slate clean and start over telling new stories unfettered by a connection to any lawsuit, but forcing everything to have to adhere to one malleable timeline is kinda stupid. If you were to actually chart out all the shit that's happened to sonic, like reality rewrites, dying, space, super forms, time travelling it becomes overwhelmingly patently ridiculous.
Contrast that with how fucking GOOD it's likely that Mega Drive will be, simply because they were allowed to change tack and try something new and unhindered (the boom comic was a good example of this, it had a new tone and feel to it, not just old archie with a fresh coat of paint and some dirt wiped under the rug) I'd just love to see the team with the freedom and access to new toys to do something really fun.
not saying the current archie stuff isn't great, nor that it hasn't been fun to see they wrestle the continuities together, but imagine if they could branch out and we had like a sonic equivalent to the Ultimate Universe? Or a 2099? Or y'know a multitude of alternate/parallel stories? Maybe a universe where sonic was a bad guy and sally had to defend the kingdom against him, or tails was a freebooting courier in a sky kingdom, or knuckles finally getting a story that isn't tethered to echidna extinction angst or giant rock babysittting?
I just wish archie sonic had more titles and a bigger scope. You can see they have the material, imagination and the artists, and hell probably the audience for most of it.
>>143731017

You do know that that whole thing existed because the editor wanted to fool people into thinking that it wasn't a hard reboot
>Ultimate Sonic
So it'll be good for the first half, have an event that kills off 90% of the characters for no good reason, then go to absolute shit?
>>143731420
>So it'll be good for the first half, have an event that kills off 90% of the characters for no good reason, then go to absolute shit?
Exactly. Although to be fair that happened with the Ultimate universe because they chewed through so much continuity so quickly that their recap-verse ran out of steam and risked catching up to 616 so they had to tank it, and just like every marvel continuity they don't know how to handle they just fucking flooded it.
Point is though we got years of solid interlocking stories out of that with new twists. pete/kitty being a decent one, and you can't tell me finally explaining shit about how the FF work and de-aging them wasn't fun. Nothing wrong with wanting a few years of new and interesting takes on characters we know and love while the originals are still about. HOLY SHIT TWO CAKES and all that business.

So basically, Sonic the Hedgehog becomes the new Mythos from which a wide variety of unique series arise?
Under the vision of professional and well-paid writers, talented artists, and vigilant editors, it would be a golden age. But we're currently in a period of decadence (to suit the metaphor). Sonic is a niche market, and that means it is small and restrained, while Iron Man gets five movies because Robert Downey Jr. delivers smartass lines really well.
It's really a shame, but what the greater public wants, it receives. And right now, it wants >pic related.
