Sonic and Eggman, which makes sense seeing as they were right next to the source of the Genesis Wave.
Besides being a few years younger and not being constantly horny, Sonic is essentially the exact same character as he has always been.
Eggman has changed even less and is essentially the same character even though he has a different origin story.
Because of these simularities, it makes sense that these are the two characters that were able to retain their memories of the old universe the longest.

I think based on his reaction he was just trying to stop sonic or maybe make a last ditch effort to make his envisioned reality THE reality. I don't think he meant to actually shatter it. Either way he probably wasn't thinking straight.

No because Sally is clearly the dominant one in the relationship

it's a possibility, Sally is definitely a top though

A little more realistically speaking, I imagined Sally kept a fair amount of rings by her bed so she could materialize Nicole for light and happy bedtime cuddles, until she falls asleep.

As far as games go, his quills were probably longest in 2006 and I do have to admit I like the length of them there and the way they flow/react to movement.

Not a fan of the ears though. They seem too... prominent in 2006.

We've long established in the games that Eggman is extremely short sighted and never thinks or cares about the repercussions of his actions until they affect him. It's one of the core facets of his personality.

>>172637085
To a lot, and I mean a LOT of people, more detail = better art. This is why 3D modelling and photoshopped pics have pretty much replaced painting and pencilling for covers, posters and the like.

Spaz has a great sense for three dimensional space, but he's frankly awful at posing, really stiff, and has trouble with conveying motion.
>>
>>172637617
Agreed.
Spaz can do collage-pics well but the devil is in the details and positioning.
Take >>172636912 for example. A lot of people would probably say this is good cover art, and on some level it is. It's varied, colorful, and carries the sense of celebration that comes with the 10th anniversary well. Howerver, the framing and positioning doesn't seem to fit the purpose of the pic. The most prominent character in the pic, the one the reader's eyes are drawn to immidiately, is Vector. Hell, even Mina has a more prominent presence in the pic.

As opposed to Sonic I mean.
Don't know if I made that clear.

And to be clear I'm not one of these fags that just hates Mina. I thought her character was really improving towards the end of the preboot era and I was sad to see her go, but the point is there is NO reason for her to have a more prominent placement on a milestone issue than Sonic himself.

Now if we take a look at issue 225, 100 issues later, we see a much better example of prioritization. Sonic is the clear frontrunner (no pun intended) and what's more the plot details of the issue are also made somewhat clear.
>>
>>172637850
Part of that is the coloring.

The colorist decided to give Vector a moderate green and a very bright yellow, but used dark, desaturated blues on Sonic. While in the inks Sonic still isn't immediately grabbing you, a proper color job would have drawn you right to him.

That's not how Shadow's shoes work.

Shadow has the athleticism and stamina to theoretically push himself to be able to move as fast as sonic but his physical body simply doesn't have the dexterity or reaction time to physically move his legs that fast.
The air shoes allow shadow to reach his full potential, which the laws of physics would otherwise prevent him from doing.

Sonic can do it naturally because he is actually the ultimate life form.

Still doesn't take that long considering how most of the levels have you in areas that restrict your view to the rest of the level. Very rarely do the levels give you big open shots of a city or an area that would require lots of assets.

Shadow's speed has been stated to come from his "powerful body", and in the end he is the dark incarnation of Sonic, the spitting image of him, sharing his speed and agility. Sonic and Shadow naturally have the exact same abilities, but for whatever reason, Shadow needs to have inhibitor rings and hover skates to control his power and speed, but Sonic doesn't.

Sonic has a rival that is the "opposite" of him. Someone that's associated with red, being powerful and strong with an emphasis on combat abilities, and a more serious and focused personality in contrast to Sonic. This rival has the capability to harness the power of an emerald, allowing him to control the power of the Chaos Emeralds. He isn't as fast as Sonic (but he does come close), but he is stronger than Sonic. This rival is KNUCKLES THE ECHIDNA. NOT Shadow the Hedgehog.

... maybe Knuckles should have been "darker" or something. But the only sign of that is his aversion to sunlight.

There is no amount. There is no difference. Sonic's speed is exactly the same as Shadow's speed. Sonic's strength is exactly the same as Shadow's strenght. If Sonic can outrun light, so can Shadow. If Shadow can benchpress a bus, so can Sonic. If Sonic can eat 1000 Chili Dogs in one sitting, so can Shadow.

Knuckles is 'close' to Sonic's speed, up to roughly around Tails' speed. Both of them can exceed the speed of sound.
>>
>>172660487
Factually wrong. Sonic is faster. Gens and even SA2 proves this. Shadow is stronger. ShTH proves this. Knuckles is nowhere near as fast as Sonic and neither of them can break the sound barrier and nothing proves otherwise.
>>
>>172660836
>Gens and even SA2 proves this
No, they don't. Not only is it literally said that Shadow shares Sonic's speed in those games, but they literally move at the same speed in gameplay.

Sonic Generations' Rival Battle is literally built around the idea that they are the same. I mean, in case you forgot, you can't beat the other without absorbing Energy Cores to temporarily gain a power boost over the other.

Shadow isn't stronger than Sonic. Not once has that ever been proven.

Tails and Knuckles are both nearly as fast as Sonic, along with Amy and Cream&Cheese.

There is no canonical concrete comparison showing shadow to be stronger than sonic. We see shadow doing things in Ow the edge, but we don't get to compare that to Sonic doing the same.

There IS however evidence that Shadow is faster than sonic, as seen in Sonic battle:
"Shadow's running skill. With help from his Air Shoes, he can run faster than Sonic."
>>
>>172661368
>There IS however evidence that Shadow is faster than sonic, as seen in Sonic battle:
>"Shadow's running skill. With help from his Air Shoes, he can run faster than Sonic."
Which is completely nullified by the fact that Sonic was "holding back" the entire game until he fought Ultimate Emerl. Sonic's full power is unrestrained, and he was using a casual relaxed amount of effort. Shadow's full power is restrained, and he was using maximum effort.

Sonic beat Shadow in their race-fight in SA2 and Sonic moves faster when boosting in Gens. Sonic is faster.
Shadow is capable of hand to hand combat with aliens and can flip objects weighing tons with ease with his own hands while Sonic has never been shown to be able to do the same. Shadow is stronger.
>Tails and Knuckles are both nearly as fast as Sonic, along with Amy and Cream&Cheese.

Sonic beats Ultimate Emerl in less than 30 seconds, even though the actual boss fight from the player's perspective is about 10 rounds. He was using more speed and power during that fight than he was the entire rest of the game. The rest of the game, Shadow moved faster than Sonic because he was using more effort than Sonic. Sonic was just jogging, while Shadow was actually running (skating).

>>172661657
In SA2, Sonic and Shadow move at the same speed. Same with Generations. Sonic didn't win because of being faster, cause he isn't faster than Shadow and vise versa.

Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Cream&Cheese are all supersonic in speed, and are nearly as fast as Sonic. Of these 4 characters, Cream&Cheese are the slowest, yet they have still been officially stated to be nearly as fast as Sonic. Tails is Sonic's Sidekick, in the same vain as Robin or Kid Flash, he was already capable of keeping up with Sonic when they first met and Tails has been trained by Sonic ever since. In the present time, Tails stands a chance in a race against Sonic because he is close enough in speed alone, and his flight allows him to take shortcuts to get to the goal before Sonic can. Same with Knuckles, he's roughly equal to Tails, and his strength, digging, use of shortcuts and/or knowledge of the area allow him to get to the end before Sonic.

Amy may have started out relatively slow, but as of Sonic Heroes, she kinda HAS to be faster than Cream&Cheese. This also means that Big is somewhere in their speed range as well...

Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Cream&Cheese all have Boost Mode in Sonic Advance 2, which is pretty much them breaking the sound barrier. In fact, that's even how the Boost Mode is animated at the moment you enter that state.

>>
>>172662378
Shadow boosts in Sonic Generations. That entire rival battle emphasizes how Shadow is just "Dark-Sonic", and the only way to beat him is to absorb Energy Cores to temporarily make yourself more powerful. The difference between them is highlighted in how they use the Energy Cores. They are exactly the same, and the Energy Cores are exactly the same, but Shadow chooses to 'manipulate' that boost of energy into Chaos Spears, while Sonic simply just lets the power boost happen and he does what comes naturally.
>>
>>172662656
Then how did he beat Shadow in SA2? How come he got the power cores in Gens before Shadow did since whoever is faster is going to get them first? Thanks for proving my point. Sonic is faster.
None of them are anywhere near as fast as Sonic. They can't keep up with him at all when he's at full speed. Period. Nothing you have proves otherwise. You're wrong.
>which is pretty much them breaking the sound barrier
First off, Boost in SA2 and Boost in the Boost games are not the same thing and do not denote breaking the sound barrier at all.
The Boost from the Boost games is animated to show him breaking the sound barrier, Advance 2 does not. They simply get nifty little afterimages much in the vein of Capcom fighting game supers.
How's it feel being completely wrong, Sparky?

Your opinions on the trope itself doesn't change the fact that Sonic series uses that trope. They've used it multiple times, in fact. Shadow is just one example, and the most literal example in a way.

>>172663115
Go back and play Sonic Advance 2, and pay close attention to how the Boost mode is animated when it's activated. They break the sound barrier. It's shown, and heard.

In Sonic Generations, the only solid thing is that Sonic powers up at the very end of the battle, and beats Shadow with it. So this:
>How come he got the power cores in Gens before Shadow did
Isn't fact. What most likely occurred, is that Shadow got 2 or 3 Energy Cores and powered up first, shot Chaos Spears at Sonic (who dodged them all), then soon after Sonic got 2 or 3 Energy Cores and powered up, using it to boost after Shadow, ramming into his back and draining his ring count, winning the fight. Really, the only reason Sonic one is because, in his empowered state, he just let the energy strengthen him instead of trying to weaponize the energy itself, and he ran straight into Shadow instead of trying to shoot the energy itself at Shadow.

>They can't keep up with him at all when he's at full speed. Period. Nothing you have proves otherwise. You're wrong.
We SEE Tails keep up with Sonic's full speed since Sonic 2, and it's emphasized in Sonic Adventure cause we play as Tails while RACING Sonic, and WINNING. Look, on a straight line with no obstacles, Sonic and Shadow are the exact same speed, while Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Cream&Cheese are a little bit slower, but still close, at varying speeds. But in an actual obstacle-filled rollercoaster-esque environment, they all possess an equal chance at getting to the end first.

It's a pretty basic and generic recipe. Good for if you want homemade chili dogs for cheap, but you're going to want to tweak the recipe if you want something outstanding.
>>
>>172655365
>it wasn't a total copy-paste.
Most of the levels are copy paste as fuck. Go replay Frog Forest sometime.
>>
>>172664069
The fact that any of these characters can keep up with Sonic is a problem. They have their own traits already, why make them fast too?
>>
>>172654979
You're still moving at least twice as fast as you do in SA2, and that game is hallways and coridors galore when playing Sonic. Seriously, look at the sheer amount of shit they textured and modeled in Rooftop Run alone.
>>
>>172664069
They get afterimages and that's it. There is no breaking of the sound barrier in Advance 2.
>muh headcanon scenario
Sonic got more and won the fight. He has to be faster in order to get more. He's faster. There is no excuse for you left.
>since Sonic 2
More like we haven't seen Tails keep up since S3&K.
>b-but Adventure
The game where Sonic moves slower than a player controlled Sonic when you play as Tails because he pretty much lets you win unless you really fuck up? Nowhere near as fast. Fact.

What the heck are you talking about?

Sonic the Hedgehog is the Fastest Thing Alive. This is an absolute fact. It's a truth that I can say ith the utmost clarity and understanding even when if I'm extremely stressed, nearly driven crazy and can't think or speak straight.

But, the franchise also filled with characters who are his dark-incarnation, robotic copy, future incarnation, sidekick, rival, love interest, and the list goes on. Tails was created with the intention of being able to keep up with and share some of Sonic's speed. Knuckles was made with the intention of being Sonic's rival, with powerful strength, and was given at similar speed from the very beginning. Amy is Sonic's Love Interest, and endlessly chases after him day and night. Cream&Cheese...uh.... are Amy's sidekick. It's been officially said that Cream&Cheese are nearly as fast as Sonic, but why this is is unknown to me, at least from a character dynamic perspective. And the list goes on. Sonic is the fastest living being in the entire universe, but most of the most prominent people in his life are either nearly as fast, or a fullblown copy of him.

Why do you and people like you engage him instead of just reporting and ignoring?
>>
>>172664436
Because Sonic has other abilities that accentuate his speed, which others do not have. Sonic's "speed" is not just about his raw foot speed, or at least that's not how it used to be. Hell, in terms of just raw foot speed Sonic is slower than Mario. What gives Sonic his speed is his other abilities, like being able to cut through enemies without stopping with his insta-shield, chain attack enemies with a homing attack, or swiftly get past obstacles by sliding, ground stomping, or wall jumping. Meanwhile, Tails can fly and Knuckles can climb but both are slower than running. Just because they can run as fast as Sonic doesn't mean they can get through a level as fast as Sonic.
>>
>>172665224
Not entirely different, just take their speed away. Though we could do with scrapping a lot of them. They're kinda taking up space at this point

Tails' Flight is supposed to allow him to get through a level as fast as Sonic. That's why he was given the ability to fly in the first place, TO KEEP UP WITH SONIC. Yet for some reason, everyone forgets that Tails can Fly. Instead, everyone has convinced themselves that Tails doesn't fly, he floats. Levitates. Hovers. But that is completely untrue. Tails' ability to fly is simply a trait that his creator designed him with so that he has an excuse for being as fast as Sonic as the second playable character in Sonic 2. Tails' flight isn't just simply hovering. It's full blown TRUE Flight. Like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5pRYuI3etc
Full on, complete, true Supersonic Flying. Flight is inherently similar to and closely associated with Speed.

>>

If BOOM Sonic is slower, so is Tails and Shadow and everyone else. Their abilities are scaled to Sonic's. Tails is always supposed to be almost as fast as Sonic. Shadow is always supposed to share Sonic's exact speed. Metal Sonic is always supposed to be built to be superior.

Tikal, Commander Tower, Black Doom, Mephelis, Chip, Yacker, the Zeti...

See, you'd find some humor in it. You don't care about him anyways, so what's the problem if he dies. They're never gonna have anyone but Sonic, Tails, Eggman, and maybe Knuckles and Amy be used anyways, and people hate the friends. Kill 2 birds with one stone

While I'm very fond of the SatAM characters, if they reboot the comic again and have to remove them altogether, I'd be totally fine with that. They do kind of clutter everything (and aren't even written well enough to justify their continued appearances - while I always look forward to seeing the other OCs, like Honey or Razor show up, I've never once said "oh shit it's Bunnie/Rotor/Sally"), and as some people have said, there are existing Sonic characters that already do what they do but better.


As long as they don't get rid of Mighty though, I'm good.

>>172668747

Could you at least say why they sucked or are you just gonna go "IT sucked because it did/because it's different"? Because I at least tried to keep some aspects of their characters while making them different enough from what they were before as to give them new ways to grow/develop (Except for Bunnie, because she barely has a character to work with. I had some ideas floating around about her being like a way to give the reader a look into the life of an Eggman grunt, or maybe make her a childhood friend with a different personality.) The only one I changed super drastically was Antoine, but I still tried to keep the cowardice but do something new with it

I said it before, and I'll say it again: The StaAM characters lack the charm that most, if not all game characters have. They're brightly coloured, have interesting bios (Shadow is the ultimate lifeform, Blaze is a princess from another dimension, Silver is from the future, etc.) and have supernatural powers (even cream counts with using her ears to fly). What are the freedom fighters? A bunch of bland nobodies all from the same non-canon kingdom with no discernible powers and often, muted color palletes (though that last bit was fixed a bit in the reboot

Because people keep bringing up the fact that what they do, other characters do better, and they feel redundant. There's a plethora of heroic characters just in the games, and if we count the comics, that number doubles, if not triples in size. Plus many people are ambivalent to the idea of the FFs being main characters in the first place, much less them hanging around Sonic all the time.

So my goal was to make them secondary and while Sonic could occasionally meet up with them and help them with their problems, he's not around them all the time, and they'd show up around as much as say, Razor or any of the other secondary OC characters. I also tried to make them in general, fairly neutral leaning towards good, though the alignment depends on the character.
>>172669421
>>make Antoine a manipulator villain even though that already happened in and it was shit
The problem was A: It was anti-Antoine and done for the sole purpose of drama, and B: It was Penders writing it. I think that you can make it work if you bother to put in the effort.

As for Nicole, I actually didn't want to make her regular. The idea of her being childlike is actually a different take on her gaining sentience. She's much more curious, more naive, and more trusting. She's constantly trying to learn about the world aorund her, for better or worse, and trying to understand her emotions. She's like a small child.

Sally, well she would be kind of incompetent, but that's due to a lack of experience and being thrust into the position at such a young age (My guesstimate would be around the age where she lost her father in the main continuity)

>>172669396
That is very much a problem, but giving them all the wacky color pallettes and powers, while it oculd work, would diverge too far from what people liked about them originally. At that point just make different characters.

The whole point of the FFs is to give Sonic a supporting cast. Characters like Knuckles and Shadow have an established home or job and aren't able to just fucking stick around all the time without something keeping them there.

The easiest is to have them not show up as much. No need to abridge their characters.

>>172670221
And that's a fine idea too, I'm just trying to make these characters, at the very least, unique in their own right. Whether it works or not is subjective, but I built them around the general tone of the current comic. If you want, I could maybe find a way to build them around the Sega canon. It'd take a lot of dumbing down of their current characters, but I think it could be done

Might as well be a duo with how one-note Amy is towards Sonic. You should understand how quickly the comic would burn out with just these three.

I think at the very least if you changed up the scenarios and shook up the dynamics once in a while (Have say, Amy go off and do her own thing for a while) you could keep it going fairly well. Sonic's a free spirit, so a comic about going around the world and getting caught in weird shit could suit him fairly well. In fact, going back to Unleashed, one of the things people loved about that game was the weird NPCs you met with their wacky personalities and shenanigans that ensued (Wentos, the father thinking you wanted to marry his daughter, the reporter, etc...) Really, the FFs would just be one of those. Another group that Sonic runs into for whatever reason. And he can seperately run into say, Bunnie, so that someone can figure out what to do with her

Never hits the highs of X, but never hits the lows. It's a cheaply made comedy, but it's good for what it is, and it's far more consistent in quality. It's probably the most consistent of any Sonic show. You know what to expect with each episode. Granted, this makes it the most tedious to marathon, since every episode blends together, but less painful than say, Underground or X to marathon, especially X because season two will drain you and season 3 will wipe you out

But seriously, given how many times Sonic needs to get saved saved by Chris in this show, it's hard to believe he was ever able to beat Robotnik without him in the first place.

Yeah that always bugged me.
Like, I don't mind the hero being vulnerable once in a while (it's a nice contrast to the earlier shows where Robotnik just can't even get a single win at all ever) but there's a difference between being vulnerable and downright incompetent.
That episode where Shadow just shows up on the spaceship and literally 1 v everyone's like it's not a problem made me quit the show.

Sonic X Sonic was probably the funniest one, but also the most incompetent one, and it really fucking bothered me, especially with that one episode where Shadow steamrolls everyone. X started some of the WORST trends in the franchise
>>172673963
It wasn't even foreshadowed properly. Like you said, it's truly a shame, because I like the idea of it. I mean, Sonic is someone who is usually fairly reserved about his negative emotions. He hates tears and he tries to be strong for others. God knows what kind of feelings he's internalized over the years between all the shit he's gone through. I'm not saying make it full CRAWLING IN MY SKIN, but I think the idea is one with merit. That you could use it to explore the idea that Sonic internalizes and represses far too much.

I'm probably rambling like a fucking retard, but I hope I got my point acorss

Am I seeing things, or does Sonic never once refer to Tails as "bro" in the reboot? I remember in the before, they always referred to each other as "bro" and talked like they were actually blood related. Sega mandates that harsh? I mean they still allowed Uncle Chuck to be called Uncle Chuck.

IT'S A PIECE OF CAKE TO BAKE A PRETTY CAKE
>>
>>172675507
The main issue is that the Freedom Fighters are 5 characters who take focus away from game characters. Look at the current incarnation: 5 cartoon OCs and 5 game characters for a total of 10, and that packed main roster means characters are underdeveloped. The Freedom Fighters were great in the cartoon and early comics when the only game characters were Sonic and Tails, but now that the games have enough characters to form a good supporting cast of their own the Freedom Fighters are not needed as major characters. You don't even need to do something stupid like making Knuckles or Shadow into Sonic's butt-buddies, at least not if Universe still exists. But there's enough game characters to make the main cast 3-5 characters big including Sonic, then rotate in guest characters as needed for the story. You don't even need to do something as drastic as get rid of them completely or fuck up their personalities, just set them off to the side like the Downunda/Sand Blaster/Mercia/Northern Tundra/Wolfpack/etc groups and have them show up every so often, either together or individually, if there's a story that can benefit by having them around.
>>
>>172676789
Thanks for putting it more eloquently than I ever could. It's kind of the idea I had in mind when making my versions of the cast, though I do think having them be more independent of each other could be fun. The only ones I think need to be together in some capacity are like, Sally, Nicole, and Antoine, and you could probably rework Nicole enough where that's nto even the case. And Antoine could be from a rival kingdom or a mercenary or what have you

You can have all the Freedom Fighters based in Knothole while still giving them room to show up one or two at a time depending on the story. Like Sonic's group is heading off to Holaska, so they call up Rotor so he can go with them. Or they're trying to infiltrate Eggman's computer systems via Digital Circuit or Mad Matrix, so Nicole shows up. Or Naugus is trying to go after an artifact in the castle vault, so Sonic's team hops over to Knothole and hooks up with the full squad.

The difference with the argument he's making is that it's okay for game characters to be more/overexposed by the mere virtue of them being game characters, as opposed to the Freedom Fighters being comic/cartoon only. The catch here is that the Freedom Fighters are necessary to keep around on a regular basis seeing as they're the only current main characters that can actually grow and develop, as the game characters all have set personas that they have to stay within due to mandates.

This is true, yet they keep making so many new characters that even the FF don't get proper development.

The game characters I'm referring to are the ones that are currently Sonic's supporting cast: Tails, Amy, even Cream and Big. But the Freedom Fighters are also Sonic's supporting cast, and there's only so much space in the main comic, and Sonic is the main character so the majority of the focus is always on him, so the Freedom Fighters are fighting with Sonic's supporting game cast for focus, which is dumb. Again, I'm not saying bring in Knuckles or Shadow or the Chaotix as Sonic's supporting cast, that's dumb. But there's enough game characters who are already supporting characters that you don't need even more in the form of cartoon OCs. Rotate them in as arc-specific supporting characters like Mighty, Honey, Lupe, etc. but not as regulars.

>>172678013
Having them show up once in a while can develop them just fine. Having them all in the comic as regulars results in none of them being able to develop effectively because there's only so much you can cram into a 20-page monthly comic. It would actually be better for them to being demoted to secondary characters and rotate in one or two at a time on a per-arc basis.

And besides, I actually doubt that Sega's mandates are as strict as people think they are. Obviously we're not going to get relationship drama but there's a lot you can do with game characters just by fleshing out their set personalities.

I'm of the opinion that Rotor, Antoine and Bunnie are all pretty worthless.

Bunnie's main catch is that she's a cyborg, but that adds nothing to the story other than giving her a bunch of techno gadgets to use and maybe some drama with being a "freak". That worked in SatAM where Knothole was all about magic and nature aside from Nicole, and Tails was just a kid sidekick and not a genius, but neither of those things are true anymore. So she just kinda exists.

Rotor is just a combination of Knuckles and Tails, and Antoine's "cowardly swordsman" schtick has enough depth for one 22-minute episode about him to overcome his fears and that's it.

That being said, I do like Sally and Nicole. Sally's "female badass" role could be filled by Amy, but that's ignoring her princess lineage and the whole Kingdom of Acorn. I like the idea of an authority figure being part of the Sonic cast. Blaze WOULD fill that perfectly, but her kingdom is in another dimension and thus we never see it.

Nicole I feel is the only one that truly adds a lot of potential, because she essentially REPLACES Tails's genius factor. What if Tails went back to being the kid sidekick and Nicole was the Alfred of the trio? That would actually be pretty awesome. Tails's whole "boy genius" thing is pretty stale at this point.
>>
>>172679546
Yes, but every time they splinter off the people who aren't in Sonic's group get a lack of focus. Unless they go with a 10/10 story split, in which case nobody gets a focus because the stories are too short to do anything.

Stick with Sonic/Tails/Amy/Cream/Big as the main cast. Have everyone else rotate in as "character of the arc." Then if they feel like giving Tails or Amy+Cream they're own arc in Universe, more side characters can come in to replace them.
>>
Is the name Knothole supposed to be arousing? I mean, there are knot and hole together.

So she just kinda exists.
Don't forget that her conflict about that is barely there anyways, since she seems pretty confident in herself, especially after meeting Antoine. She doesn't really have a personality or conflict going for her, so that's why I have trouble coming up with anything for her to be. The best I came up with was her being in the Eggman army, like as a look into the life of an Eggman grunt, but she's just got absolutely nothing to work with character wise. Maybe if you ditch the cyborg part but at that point she has literally nothing outside of a funny accent

As for Antoine, I agree there too, so that's why I wanted to take him in a different direction. I think making him more of a manipulator and sneaky sort works. It keeps the cowardice, but instead of propelling him to bravery, it takes him in a different direction

Rotor is fine, as I think making it clear he's very gung ho about weapons and pragmatism sets him apart enough from Tails to work. Maybe a touch of cynicism and you have a nice foil
>>
>>
Sega really wrote themselves into a corner with their game cast, Knuckles, Shadow, Cream, Rouge,Omega, Team Chaotix, Blaze, Silver, Marine, Vanilla, Gemerl and the Babaloyn Rogues need plot related reasons to be on an adventure with Sonic yet for some reason they ignore Knuckles's plot and completely change his character for the sake of keeping him around.

See, that would matter if Sally were shown to be a badass or a capable leader, she's as useless as Rotor,Antoine and Bunnie. She and Nicole only exist as /u/fuel in my eyes.

Perhaps, but he still wouldn't gel well as a regular cast member. If he were Tails's rival and only showed up occasionally, it could work.
>>

Wave could serve as Tails's rival as well, she knows tech stuff and she's very cynical and pragmatic, remember her strapping a fucking bomb to Sonic's board just so he couldn't beat Jet in the race?
>>
>>172680164
I believe what they gave us of reboot Rotor was good, as you say. Not amazing, but good step in the right direction - he loves his weapons, is kind of a huge nerd, has daddy issues and is definitely one of the more pragmatic characters. Definitely different from Tails, who, from the beginning of the reboot, has shown himself to be smart like Rotor, but what stood out was his optimism and positivity, as well as his occasional desire to prove himself. I think they're both just in really great spots that could only get better from here, but unfortunately Antoine, Bunnie, and arguably Sally are a little less than stellar (my only real problem with Sally is that she falls apart about everything now, and was made out to be incompetent on a number of occasions just so Sonic would look better)
>>
>>172681226
Rouge is Shadow's supporting cast, not Sonic. Broad character archetypes can overlap as long as the characters are not part of the same sub-groups. And in fact, having similar archetypes allows those characters to be rivals or complimentary in situations where the teams meet up.
>>
>>172680002
>Yes, but every time they splinter off the people who aren't in Sonic's group get a lack of focus.

I don't see the problem with that. Why does everyone need equal focus at the same time? Isn't the point of your rotating roster idea that some people get focus one at a time?

>Unless they go with a 10/10 story split, in which case nobody gets a focus because the stories are too short to do anything.

Worked fine to me. They lasted for 2-4 issues which together would be a couple of issues alone. And even the ones that lasted like one issue like the Bunnie/Tails and Rotor/Sally helped expand on their relationships.

Thing is, she's still good, and doesn't really do the whole manipulation thing nowadays. In fact she's more of the straight man to Shadow and Omega, and their defacto leader. She's surprisingly trustworthy for someone like her, so she doesn't fit what I had in mind for Antoine
>>172681601
Also this. Like if Team Dark say, had to deal with the Kingdom of Acorn, and Rouge saw right through Antoine's shit, that could be interesting
>>172681493
Yeah, I think if the same care and dedication that was put into making Rotor his own thing and unique while still keeping certain aspects was applied to everyone else, we'd be in a much better situation
>>
>>172681625
Because this is a monthly comic, not a weekly television show. Having a large main cast that rotates focus can cause characters to be irrelevant for a full year. That's not a good thing. Monthly comics work better with smaller main casts so the important characters don't get sidelined for an excessively long period of time.
>>
>>172681493
I can't think of a single issue where I have enjoyed reboot Antoine or Sally.
It is nice to see Tails actually finally taking up the role of Sonic's friend. He really never was his BFF in the old days. Only the occasional issue.
>>
>>172646214
The question is: from who?
>>
>>172682051
The only "important" characters are Sonic, Tails, and Eggman though. And Tails only is because he's Sonic's eternal sidekick.

>Having a large main cast that rotates focus can cause characters to be irrelevant for a full year. That's not a good thing.

This is the norm for many monthly comics.
>>
>>172682716
There are many "norms" in the comic industry that are retarded.
>>
>>172681417
Wave already IS Tails' rival, you idiot. Jet - Sonic's Rival, Wave - Tails' Rival, Storm - Knuckles' Rival. But they are rivals specifically in the Riders/Extreme Gear context, mostly.
>>
Wasn't Universe created exactly for this reason?
>>
>>172681601
Rouge's original purpose was to be Knuckles' Rival in Sonic Adventure 2, which lead to her being apart of Shadow and Eggman's "Dark" Team. Which lead to her being associated with those characters, especially Shadow. Which lead to Sonic Heroes bringing in "Team Dark", consisting of Shadow, Rouge, and then newcomer Omega to fill in Eggman's ("Shooter"/"Mech") spot.
>>
>>172683159
Correct, the issue is specifically with an overabundance of characters in the main book.

>>172683190

>>172683159

>>
>>172683291
>Sonic
>Tails
>Sally
>Nicole
>Antoine
>Rotor
>Bunnie
That doesn't seem like a whole lot. Plus, any other characters are usually gone/rotated/segwayed into Universe arcs every 2-4 issues. What's the issue?
>>
>>172683291
Rouge is technically the supporting cast for both Shadow and Knuckles. As Shadow's partner, semi-leader, and semi-sidekick all in one, and Knuckles' rival and semi-love interest. As a G.U.N agent for the President, and a Treasure Hunter specializing in Jewels, Rouge has equal ties to both characters.
>>
Despite what may /appear/ to be the case, or whatever, the core main SEGASonic cast consists of

>Sonic the Hedgehog
>Miles "Tails" Prower
>Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik
>Knuckles the Echidna
>Amy Rose
>Orbot & Cubot

>Metal Sonic
>Shadow the Hedgehog
>>
>>172683528
Yes, and at no point is she Sonic's support cast, so her existence is irrelevant when it comes to nailing down characterization for Sonic's supporting cast.
>>
>>172683691
But we're talking about the Archie comics.

But that belongs to Shadow too.
>>
>>172683476
You're missing a third of the roster, and there's almost always at least one "character of the arc" that takes up space, and of course Eggman and his lackeys get pages because you need to make sure they're taken seriously as threats and not generic non-descript bad guys, and Sonic is always the main character which means everyone else is secondary at best, and that's over only 20 pages at most unless they cut it down in order to add a backup story.

>>
>>172683754
The problem is that many characters are getting no development right now.

In the entire post-reboot, the only focus Tails got was getting his ass kicked by Honey, getting a pep-talk from Sonic, and then dunking Metal Sonic. Nothing else. Amy's focus in the main comic has been "and then she learned magic" with her needing to jump over to Universe to do anything interesting. Cream and Big are pretty much just there. Bunnie and Antoine are just re-establishing their existing personality traits; Bunnie was supposed to get an issue but that doesn't excuse the years of nothing.
>>
>>172683528
She's tied to Knuckles but shes not part of his supporting cast. They rarely meet each other. Tikal, Relic, Fixit, and maybe Chaos are.
>>
>>172684184
>Bunnie and Antoine are just re-establishing their existing personality traits;
And by that you mean remembering Bunnie is a cyborg and Antoine was a coward. Thing is, the Bunnie issue was going to focus on her family again. The problem is that she really doesn't have much else to he. She has no real character flaws, hell, she has no real character. It's why I have so much trouble figuring out what to do with her. Honestly I'm tempted to just say that she'd be like the Hooligans: Hired muscle that shows up from time to time, usually hired by the villain of the week
>>
>>172684461
>The problem is that she really doesn't have much else to he. She has no real character flaws, hell, she has no real character.
And that's because the main cast is so bloated nobody has a chance to do anything meaningful.
>>

>and that's over only 20 pages

40-80 pages actually.
>>
>>172684613
20 pages per month.
>>
>>172684547
True, though Bunnie has never really had a character outside of her status as a cyborg and Antoine to begin with. So trying to make her better without straying from what the core of her character is is both easy and stupidly hard. The basic idea is "cyborg" but her personality gives so little to work with, and is shared by so many characters that I just have to throw my hands up and make her a hired muscle or nondescript soldier or something.

Except not really. Sure, their may be something there, but it isn't AS essential to their dynamic as it is between her and Knuckles. Knuckles is canonically not good with girls or something, and Rouge's existence exploits that trait. Rouge flirting with Knuckles will get a reaction out of him, Rouge flirting with Shadow goes seemingly nowhere on the surface.


>>172683753
In regards to the Freedom Fighters...uh...
They were created at a time when the main cast in the games were Sonic as the Hero, Tails as the kid sidekick and nothing more, and 'Robotnik'. Tails' characterization in the West was lacking half of his core traits, and in the west's cartoon and comic adaptations, another 25% was stripped away, leaving Tails as only a fraction of himself. A young kid who looks up to and wants to be like Sonic, and can fly. All of the intellect, and Sonic-like skills were entirely absent, thus leaving Tails as basically useless. So, for the Freedom Fighters, they had to account for who would be Sonic's 'capable' Sidekick, Love-Interest, and Rival, along with specific character roles like the strong one and the smart one. Sally Acorn filled in the spot of the Love Interest, overlapping into "Sidekick" in a Rouge-to-Shadow sort of way. Antoine was the Rival, with the context being competing for the Love Interest. Rotor was just the smart one, providing technology to help Sonic and the others fight Robotnik. And, I guess Bunnie was just the muscle, using her left arm for heavy lifting and stuff.

If SatAM was made just a few years later, AND if the Western continuity wasn't so different from the Japanese continuity, the Freedom Fighters wouldn't have needed to be created. Tails is Sonic's Sidekick and the Smart guy, Knuckles is Sonic's Rival and the Strong guy, and Amy is Sonic's Love Interest and has Supernatural interests. So, finding a perfect balance between these two groups may be quite difficult.

That itself is whole other issue, but suffice it to say stretching things over an arc means you only have three stories per year, which means characters who are supposed to be major characters can go a year or more without being relevant in any way. It'd be different if they were considered secondary characters with a smaller major cast, but right now we have 10 main characters flying around together and it feels crowded.

For all the shit Underground did, the one thing it did right was having a smaller three-hog main cast that just drove around having adventures. It let all three of them have focus on a regular basis and allowed for a diverse rotating secondary cast and "characters of the arc" that popped in when needed without overstaying their welcome. Now, everything else about Underground sucked but the comic would work better if it took that one element of the show.

continued... sort of.

In my opinion, Sally only works as a temporary Love Interest for Sonic, like for one adventure. Amy is Sonic's true eternal core main Love Interest, for the entire series. Sally would be like Princess Elise. A romantic thing builds over the course of one adventure, but ultimately doesn't work out in the long run, especially because of Sonic's adventurous nature and stuff. But, the only adventure this would work for is Sonic 2, or something. Like, whenever they first meet and team up.

The idea of Rotor being a rival for Tails is something that I have never really considered...but now I think it could really work. Rotor being big and strong and pragmatic and... purple contrasts really well with Tails. All there needs to be is the proper dynamic between them, like WHY are they rivals, and stuff like that. Um... eh, that's all I got for now.
>>
>>172685935
>... purple contrasts really well with Tails. All there needs to be is the proper dynamic between them, like WHY are they rivals, and stuff like that. Um... eh, that's all I got for now.
Simple, their outlooks on life. Rotor thinks that war and violence is necessary to keep peace, and that Eggman NEEDS to die for the good of everyone. He doesn't see the good in people. This contrasts with Tails' optimism and a wish for peace (The ending of Sonic Battle was really good and I want to do something with that. I liked that odd bit of childish wishful thinking he had in regards to seeing Emerl again). Tails makes gadgets and transportation meant to help others. Rotor makes weapons of war meant to hurt others.
>>
>>172685643
Eggman isn't "Life". He would be the Industry or artificial whatever, specifically the dark side of it that is a threat to nature. Tails is technological advancement that benefits and support nature. Like, Eggman = Sonic CD's Bad Future, Tails = Sonic CD's Good Future.

Shadow is an Industrial attempt at artificially creating Nature.
>>
>>172685731
>three stories per year

6, and that's only if every arc is the regular four parter and not a 10/10 split, otherwise it's more. And again, the only important characters are Sonic, Tails, and Eggman. Just like the only important characters in Underground were Sonic, Sonia, Manic, and Eggman.

Way too many people cling to Japanese canon like it's sacred and perfect when it's just weird and inconsistent. "That's the way it's always been" is not an excuse. SatAM, exposition-wise, improved on virtually everything Sega laid out aside from the whole post-apocalyptic thing. (and even that has potential)

It's stupid for Tails to be a boy genius for basically no reason when you wouldn't know that by looking at him. It's stupid for Tails to use the spindash when he doesn't have spines. It's stupid for Knuckles to hang out with Sonic all the time when he's supposed to be guarding something. It's stupid for Knuckles to be able to keep up with Sonic. It's stupid for little animals, realistic animals and realistic humans to walk alongside Sonic. It's stupid for this series to take place on Earth instead of a unique world.

Sonic doesn't need to be realistic but goddamn it begs for more consistency. Mario has more consistency and rules than Sonic does.
>>
>>172687715
Honestly, I think the way to fix things would be
>Tails is the kid sidekick who can fly a plane when Sonic needs a plane
>Eggman is the only human
>All the games with non-Eggman humans are non-canon (IF there even is a canon)
>Knuckles is never seen unless the game deals with the master emerald
>Sonic is the only one that can go fast. Period.
>>
>>172687994
So do the others go slow?
>>
>>172687715

SatAM did fuck all with concepts.
>>
>>172688235
They go average speed. Not faster than normal but not exceptionally slow. Like if you were fairly in shape you could keep up with the non-Sonic characters
>>
>>172687715
Tails was designed to be Sonic's Sidekick, hence why he can spin dash and fly nearly as fast as Sonic. He was also designed to be a genius that loves tinkering with technology, which manifested through Sonic's plane, the Tornado. Honestly, Sky Chase Zone alone should have tipped someone off on Tails' intellectual capacity.

How is it stupid for Knuckles to be able to keep up with Sonic? He's super strong, athletic, a martial artist, linked to the Master Emerald...
>>
>>172687715
Because it's just "Japanese canon" it is THE canon to the entire franchise. It was like that from the very beginning. The western stuff you're sticking is basically glorified fanfiction which was even less consistent.

The only real consistency in Mario is the gameplay and the RPG games continuity. Everything beyond that is the same saving the princess from Bowser plan Z. Not like Nintendo has to try. They just have to throw a trope on a character and out the door they go. Mario - Hero. Luigi - Pussy Ghoster Buster. Wario - Jew. Peach - Princess. Daisy - Metal Peach. Bowser - Evil Guy who kidnaps the princess. You can't really call something one dimensional consistent no matter colorful its painted and you sure as hell can't compare it to Sonic. Pick a series with a little more dept.

Did you miss the part where I said that not everything SEGA came up with was a good idea? That shit came from the same ideas department that said Sonic should be in a rock band with fangs and a human girlfriend.

I can see Tails teaching Sonic the spindash, and if he had a spindash-like attack that involved wind or something. But him using his fur like spines is just fucking dumb. And there is literally no reason for him to be a genius. The Tornado was Sonic's plane first, he can fly it just fine. Tails can learn too.

>>172688435
>It was like that from the very beginning.
That's not a defense.
>How is it stupid for Knuckles to be able to keep up with Sonic?
Because Knuckles is the antithesis of Sonic. He's not supposed to be literally better than him in every way. Knuckles is strong, Sonic is fast. That's the dynamic.

>>172688629
>>172688237
I never said SatAM was a good show. But it did have good concepts. Having a group of Freedom Fighters alongside Sonic and Tails adds a lot from a storytelling perspective without compromising Sonic as the main character and most capable character.

Your argument, whether you realize it or not, is that Tails and Knuckles should never have been playable, and in fact should never have been created to begin with.

The idea behind Tails is that he's like Robin to Sonic's Batman, the Kid Flash to Sonic's Flash. He's a character that looks up to and admires Sonic, wants to be like him, and shares Sonic's abilities, which allows him to do the things Sonic can do to help Sonic out in action, and Sonic trains and mentors Tails. Him being able to fly segways into his plane piloting which naturally leads into tinkering with technology and thus a kid genius. For all intents and purposes, Tails is Kid Sonic + Kid Eggman. He could've just as easily become Eggman's sidekick if Eggman found him first and manipulated his innocent young mind, his abilities being trained to assist Eggman's robotic and mechanical constructions among other things, as well as rivalling and beating Sonic.

Knuckles spindashing makes perfect sense to me, under the idea of "POWER-TYPE" and "strong where Sonic is fast". I mean, there are characters in other media that obviously appear more strong and buff and bulky or whatever, yet run super fast (charging at their opponents) and even curl up into a ball and spindash. With that in mind, it makes Perfect sense for Knuckles to be supersonic fast with the ability to Spin Dash, and it makes even more sense when you take into account his athleticism and martial arts mastery. Sonic and Knuckles can both spin dash, but the context behind that ability is much different, even if they 'appear' the same.

>Your argument, whether you realize it or not, is that Tails and Knuckles should never have been playable, and in fact should never have been created to begin with.
I don't even know how to respond to this. Literally what.

>The idea behind Tails is that he's like Robin to Sonic's Batman, the Kid Flash to Sonic's Flash.
And hey, guess what retard? Robin doesn't have Batman's strength or knowledge. Kid Flash doesn't have as much access to the speed force, can't go as fast as Flash can and also can't think as fast as he can.

Meanwhile, Tails is almost as fast as Sonic, in addition to being a genius and having the ability to fly. He is superior in every way. Making him a genius would make him as balanced as those sidekicks are.

>Him being able to fly segways into his plane piloting which naturally leads into tinkering with technology and thus a kid genius.
Again, THE TORNADO IS SONIC'S PLANE. He was flying it WAY before he met Tails. That has fucking nothing to do with him being a genius.

Now, if he liked technology as a kid, was smart for a kid, and eventually grew up to be incredibly smart, that'd be cool. But as an 8-year-old, no, he doesn't need to be Jimmy Neutron.

>Knuckles spindashing makes perfect sense to me
I never, ever said it didn't. At this point I'm wondering if you're just a troll.

He can be athletic, he can be nimble and quick, but running at supersonic speeds would once again make him superior to Sonic.

>Sonic and Knuckles can both spin dash, but the context behind that ability is much different, even if they 'appear' the same.
Gee, that sure means a whole lot of fucking nothing.

OR just made him the kid sidekick who idolizes Sonic and happens to know how to fly That's it. He doesn't need to be fast or fly a plane. He's just a sidekick who can fly with his tails.

Not the same anon but... The Superior thing is bullshit. Tails for one is not as fast as Sonic in show and the Comics. He only is able to keep up with Sonic in game by propelling with his Tails and it's purely for the sake of gameplay flow. Tails has been smart from the beginning because he fixed Sonic's plane when he found it laying around. He clearly had the know how to do so. Also even though he is smart with tech he's not a smart in battle. Tails gets caught or hurt most of the time because he doesn't have the agility or fast reflex to deal with battle which is why he usually fights in the plane because he has less of a chance to be ambushed..
>>
>>172691768
he's not SUPERIOR, but in the comics he does indeed show on several occasions he can go just as fast as Sonic, although it's a lot more draining.

>Robin doesn't have Batman's strength or knowledge. Kid Flash doesn't have as much access to the speed force, can't go as fast as Flash can and also can't think as fast as he can.
Apparently, you don't read comics. The first Robin and Kid Flash, Richard Grayson and Wally West(ginger) are pretty much a second Batman and Flash right now. And the same is true for every Robin and Kid Flash potentially. As Robin or Kid Flash, they have the same abilities as their mentor (Robins have peak human condition with supersmart minds, and Kid Flashes have speed force access and abilities similar to Flash), except usually not as strong or skilled or whatever (although, in some areas, they are almost better than their mentor), the point is that they are the mentor's apprentice or successor. They have the POTENTIAL to surpass their mentors in the future, but as the apprentice they are still learning.


That's pretty much the case with Tails. His abilities are of a second Sonic and Eggman, but he hasn't yet reached the point where he 'surpasses' either of them. He's NEARLY as fast and his tech skills RIVAL Eggman's.

>but running at supersonic speeds would once again make him superior to Sonic.
Running at speeds less than Sonic's own speed makes him superior to Sonic? What?

Having his own abilities on top of nearly being as fast as Sonic doesn't make him superior to Sonic. He and Sonic are equals.

Actually, look, here's the case that every single idiot in this stupid thread fails to realize. Tails and Knuckles, A S P L A Y A B L E C H A R A C T E R S, are REQUIRED to share Sonic's speed, BECAUSE SONIC'S SPEED IS THE CORE OF THE GAMEPLAY. The games are built around the idea that Sonic moves fast, so playing as anyone else in a Sonic game should feel just as fast as playing as Sonic. They can't be THAT much slower than Sonic, and if they are slightly slower, they need to have their own abilities ON TOP of that speed to make up for the speed difference.

How many times do I have to hammer this in? I'm not saying Tails was never smart. I'm saying he SHOULDN'T be smart. I'm saying that not everything SEGA came up with for the Genesis games was a perfect idea. Why is this such a hard concept to grasp? "That's the way it's always been" is not a fucking excuse.

>Tails gets caught or hurt most of the time because he doesn't have the agility or fast reflex to deal with battle

Those concepts were cringeworthy and obvious recycled from some failed pilot proposal.
They were just really bad and a bad fit for the games. They have remained a bad fit for the games for over 20 years and the comic has perpetuated it way, way past its sell by date.

Sonic needs a proper, games based manga. Not the tortured headcanon of 25 years of American furry-fandom riding on the coattails of a video game franchise.

This is why I like Sonic more than Mario. Even when Sonic is mute, he still shows more character than Mario does, even in the latter's latest games.

Furthermore, unlike Mario, Sonic games have a world that feels lived-in and presented as actual places within Sonic's world, as opposed to simpler environments that only exist as levels in the game you're playing. The fact that Sonic games actually have something of a lore within the Chaos Emeralds only helps this; the emeralds are the cornerstones of Sonic's universe whose power and significance are actually felt throughout the series, rather than them being generic bonus items that Sonic can collect for a better ending.

tldr; Sonic has a world that can tell a story on its own while Sonic and his friends react to it, whereas the only purpose of Mario's setting and characters is to provide an obstacle course for the player to overcome.

Still trails behind Sonic he is just able to keep up with him. So you consider everything they do for the sake of gameplay canon? By that logic Big must be as fast as Sonic because he can keep up with Amy in heros who can Keep up with Sonic.

I'd get a DS and the games if I didn't have them already. Though pretty much everyone on this general is waiting for a re-release.

It all depends on how badly you want to play them. If you just want the gameplay, get the cartridge version. If you want them without the hassle of the cartridges, I'd wait.

Though if you want them for the Chao Garden, you'll need a GBA(SP) to transfer between them and the gamecube games.

Dashing along a trail of rings, sure, but it sure as hell isn't light speed. If it were, there would be lots of graphical whosawhatsits. Remember that really big trail of rings in Crazy Gadget that loops in and out of the station? It takes a a second or so to "ride", and Sonic is visible the whole time. If he were actually going at light speed, Sonic could go from the Earth to the moon in the same amount of time. The names are just exaggeration for the sake of effect.

I give up. I've been straight-up diagnosed with autism (then again, I've been diagnosed with a lot of things), but this is just too much.

Smiling, Crying, Anger, and Talking are things I usually don't do at all in public, unless I'm with my friends, or, for some odd reason, here. I'm not saying that I don't ever smile at all ever, cause that's not true. I just try not to, unless I'm completely alone in my home.

Sparky, you're like a drug addict. Everyone around oyu knows you're an addict, and deep down you do too, but you deny it vehemently
>>
>>172696624
Thanks

>>172696649
Sparky, just fucking admit you are on the spectrum. I mean, holy fuck. You are in fucking denial over even though you show a fuck-ton of traits even though you are typing on an anonymous, Indonesian, stick figure drawing hoarding website.

There are a few things that I wonder about myself, deep down. But autism? Autism is not one of those things. I don't have a single doubt in my mind that I am not autistic.

What if
Sonic Forces and Sonic Mania are both SUPER successful, the Archie Sonic Comics are saved, and Sonic Adventure 3 is made and released in the upcoming years, and the Sonic Franchise is completely redeemed as if everything collectively was several thousand times better than the amount of good that is the opposite of how bad Sonic '06 turned out to be.

BUT

Everything is written by Me, Sparky.

Nah, we've had threads where Sparky's autism was mixed with /trash/'s shitposting before. This is a horrible thread tho & it's sad, because it had such a nice start.

How does /sthg/ like Big's voice acting in Lego Dimensions, compared to Adventure's and Heroes'?

Personally, I think it sounds a bit too much like Ord from Dragon Tales, but it still fits. Though I do like the fact that he knows the stuff that makes a quality fishing spot.

How about... Shadow saying "Chaos Rainbow" or something along those lines. Or, like, Shadow saying "chaos... Chaos... CHAOS" as if he's building up a powerful Chaos Blast or whatever, and then he ends with "Rainbow!" in a semi-semi-cheery voice.

Not that one. The one where it was storytimed. We were getting close to image limit, and the storytimer made people aware of that, so instead of holding back, they kept image dumping so the issue couldn't be

Eh, you're probably right. But it's just a thng that has been stuck in my head for YEARS. The full idea involves Sonic, like
"chaos..."
"Don't do it, Shadow..."
"Chaos..."
"Don't do it, Shadow!"
"CHAOS....!!!!"
"DON'T DO IT SHADOW!!!"

...

"Rainbow!" *flashy sparkly rainbows appear, and everyone's happy*
"wut"

I don't hate it. The main problem with Adventure and Heroes was the voice direction making him sound like a retard. He isn't that bad here.

I get enough story and great character tropes in the RPG/Spin off Mario games that I can allow for the main games being somewhat one dimensional. That's why I enjoy Mario a ton.
